TITLE 48 - FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM

CHAPTER 30 - DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, HOMELAND SECURITY ACQUISITION REGULATION (HSAR)

SUBCHAPTER A - GENERAL

PART 3001 - FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM

3001.301 - Policy.

  (a)(1) The HSAR is issued for Departmental guidance according to the policy cited in (FAR) 48 CFR 1.301. The HSAR establishes uniform Homeland Security policies and procedures for all acquisition activities within the Department of the Homeland Security, except the TSA. OE supplemental acquisition regulations to be inserted in the HSAR as a HSAR supplement regulation must be reviewed and approved by the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) before the CPO submits the proposed coverage for publication in the Federal Register according to (FAR) 48 CFR 1.501.

  (2)(i) The CPO is authorized to issue internal agency guidance at any organizational level. Department-wide procedures are contained in the HSAM. The HCA may implement internal procedures or supplement the FAR, HSAR, or HSAM as provided in HSAM 3001.3. The HCA may issue procedures or delegate this authority to any organizational level deemed appropriate. OE procedures may be more restrictive or require higher approval levels than those permitted by the HSAM, unless otherwise specified.

  (ii) Individuals granted authority in the HSAR may delegate that authority, unless the FAR or HSAR specifically state that the authority is not delegable.

  (b) The Under Secretary of Management established procedures through Management Directive (MD) 0490.1, entitled Federal Register Notice and Rules, to ensure that agency acquisition regulations are published for comment in the Federal Register in conformance with FAR procedures at (FAR) 48 CFR subpart 1.5.
