    We believe these open recommendations, if implemented, will have the greatest impact on helping HUD achieve its mission to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.

    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 had agreed to an estimated completion date of March 2024. In April, The Office of the Chief Procurement Officer provided a status update and agreed to provide updated standard operating procedures once completed. However, no updated date for completion was provided.


    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 a defined IT acquisition process workflow standard operation procedure to ensure coordination across program offices.
