The United States Secret Service Has Adequate Oversight and Management of its Acquisitions (Revised)

The United States Secret Service’s acquisition management program office, established in 2011, has adequate oversight and management of its acquisition process, complies with DHS acquisition guidance, and has implemented some best practices. However, the Secret Service does not have its own guidance for acquisitions valued at less than $300 million and, at the time of our audit, the component did not have a designated Component Acquisition Executive.
