Sec. 3001.301  Policy.





    (a)(1) The HSAR is issued for Departmental guidance according to the 

policy cited in (FAR) 48 CFR 1.301. The HSAR establishes uniform 

Homeland Security policies and procedures for all acquisition activities 

within the Department of the Homeland Security, except the TSA. OE 

supplemental acquisition regulations to be inserted in the HSAR as a 

HSAR supplement regulation must be reviewed and approved by the Chief 

Procurement Officer (CPO) before the CPO submits the proposed coverage 

for publication in the Federal Register according to (FAR) 48 CFR 1.501.

    (2)(i) The CPO is authorized to issue internal agency guidance at 

any organizational level. Department-wide procedures are contained in 

the HSAM. The HCA may implement internal procedures or supplement the 

FAR, HSAR, or HSAM as provided in HSAM 3001.3. The HCA may issue 

procedures or delegate this authority to any organizational level deemed 

appropriate. OE procedures may be more restrictive or require higher 

approval levels than those permitted by the HSAM, unless otherwise 

specified.

    (ii) Individuals granted authority in the HSAR may delegate that 

authority, unless the FAR or HSAR specifically state that the authority 

is not delegable.

    (b) The Under Secretary of Management established procedures through 

Management Directive (MD) 0490.1, entitled Federal Register Notice and 

Rules,
