Does Homeland Security follow the basic federal procurement regulations and small business program?
Yes. Homeland Security components follow the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has been exempt from the FAR in the past but as of June 23, 2008, a change required by the 2008 Omnibus Appropriations Bill Signed in December 2007 requires TSA to adhere to the FAR. Additional information on TSA’s small business program can be found on the TSA Web site.
