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
In September 2025, OCPO indicated that additional time was needed to implement the recommendation based on the implementation of Executive Order 14275, which initiates a governmentwide initiative to streamline federal procurement regulations and agency acquisition practices. OCPO stated that the corrective action would be completed by March 31, 2026.
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.
