Evaluate IT acquisition process workflows and identify ways to simplify the processes, facilitate more effective stakeholder coordination across offices, and create efficiencies when possible.
Status
The Office of the Chief Procurement Officer (OCPO) had agreed to an estimated completion date of March 2024. In November 2024, OCPO submitted additional evidence for closure; however, the evidence did not identify how the revisions to the process will address efficiency issues. The OIG requested further information that identifies improvements in the IT acquisition process.
Analysis
To fully address this recommendation, HUD must provide evidence that it has published its standard operating procedures resulting from its evaluation of workflows and efforts to simplify processes and facilitate more effective coordination.
Implementation of this recommendation will result in defined IT acquisition process workflow procedures to increase efficiency and ensure coordination across program offices.
