Sec. 3001.602-3  Ratification of unauthorized commitments.



    Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy requires that 

acquisitions be made only by Government officials having authority to 

enter into such acquisitions. Acquisitions made by other than authorized 

personnel are contrary to Departmental policy and may be considered 

matters of serious misconduct on the part of an employee making an 

unauthorized commitment, and may result in disciplinary action being 

taken against an employee who makes an unauthorized commitment.
