            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
     CHAPTER 30--DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, HOMELAND SECURITY 
                      ACQUISITION REGULATION (HSAR)
 
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.
