Pursuit's Take
In FY 2015, DHS awarded 453 noncompetitive contracts worth about $229 million. This represents a downward trend of more than $3 billion obligated through noncompetitive contracts over an 8-year period.
Also in FY 2015, DHS awarded 63 noncompetitive grants worth about $127 million. Although one noncompetitive grant worth approximately $419,000 did not meet accuracy, timeliness, or completeness standards, more than 98 percent did meet the requirements as set forth in the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006.
