DHS Border Services Contracts Review Act

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to review its use of contractor personnel for border security services along the U.S.-Mexico border. Specifically, DHS must assess contracts worth $50 million or more (in 2023 dollars) for "covered services," including whether contractors are necessary, efficient, and cost-effective compared to DHS employees. The review must include an analysis of contractor deployment, recommendations for improving contracting practices, and a 5-year strategy to enhance cost-effectiveness and avoid service gaps. DHS must submit the report to Congress within 180 days and provide periodic updates, but the bill does not authorize new funding for these activities.
