15. TSA Procurement Strategy
Driven by OMB Memo 19-13 TSA will utilize DHS-wide and government-wide vehicles whenever feasible to meet mission requirements.
Increased emphasis on
enterprise category
management across
purchasing decisions
leveraging government wide
vehicles to purchase as a
coordinated enterprise to
enhance mission outcomes
What Does This Mean
For How TSA Sources?
1. DHS Mandatory-Use Strategic
Sourcing Vehicles- Initial priority
given to these vehicles
2. Best-in-Class (BIC) Vehicles-
Leverage OMB designated
government-wide BIC vehicles
3. Other Government-wide
Vehicles- When 1&2 are
unavailable, TSA will look to other
government-wide vehicles
4. Full and Open- When no vehicles
exist TSA will utilize full and open
competition via Government Point
of Entry.
