    6. Heads of Contracting Activities (HCA) Initial CBP FEMA FLETC ICE TSA USCG USSS Subsequent OPO OSA Only 7 of those 22 agencies, however, came with their contracting organizations intact. Those are shown on the column on the left side of this slide (read through). Each of these contracting organizations report within their component organizations. (I’ll have more on that later.) Since then, we’ve added 3, as shown on the right. The first is our second HCA at CBP, with specific responsibility for the SBI. The next two, OPO and OSA, are the two HCAs that report directly to me. OPO –led by Ms. Soraya Correa - is now the largest in the Dept. and provides contracting support to all activities that came to DHS without their contracting organizations, as well as the new and HQ organizations. Today, therefore, we have 10 operational contracting organizations in DHS. Only 7 of those 22 agencies, however, came with their contracting organizations intact.

    11. Summary of Actions

    12. Competition Data

    13. DHS Small Business Prime Contracting Accomplishments – FY 2009 Preliminary

    14. DHS Chief Procurement Officer’s FY 2010 Priorities Quality Contracting Goal: To make good business deals Goal: To perform effective contract administration Quality Acquisition Management Goal: To improve the quality of program management throughout DHS Quality People Goal: To build and sustain the DHS Acquisition Workforce As I mentioned previously, we initially had only limited in-house capability to provide contracting support to the Department. Not surprisingly, we relied heavily on interagency agreements and contractor support during our initial years. We also found that these staffing shortages, combined with the scope and changing nature of the DHS mission, caused us to focus almost exclusively on one goal –mission accomplishment. At times, however, that was at the expense of the quality of the business deal. Today, we’re working to ensure that we focus both on mission accomplishment and being good stewards of taxpayer dollars. (Not one at the expense of the other, however. Need to maximize both.)As I mentioned previously, we initially had only limited in-house capability to provide contracting support to the Department.
