Rooney Assistant Attorney General for Administration Department of Justice 117206 Dear Mr. Rooney: Subject: Major System Acquisition Management in the Department of Justice (GGD-82-18) We reviewed the Department of Justice's progress in implementing Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-109 to manage major system acquisitions. We found that the Depart- ment has not established an adequate foundation for implementing A-109. The Department has not issued an implementing directive, provided any training or designated any programs as major system acquisitions. This review was part of our effort to evaluate executive agencies' implementation of A-109. Our objective was to measure the Department of Justice's progress in developing a management framework to implement A-109's policies. The review was conducted at Justice headquarters in Washington, D.C. It covered actions taken by Justice to implement A-109 and to manage acquisition' programs. It included a review of relevant directives; planning and budget documents; and discussions with officials involved in planning, procurement, budgeting, and management. OMB CIRCULAR A-109 In 1976, OMB issued Circular A-109 to provide an organized approach to managing major system acquisitions. The circular was based on recommendations made by the Commission on Government Procurement to help solve a number of problems which have histor- ically plagued major system acquisitions. It supplies a frame- work of flexible management policies that can be applied to all systems, ranging from defense weapons to ADP and from public buildings to space vehicles. (019003)
