Management Advisory Report: Potential Vendor Violation of United States Capitol Police Acquisition Policy

During a January 2, 2018, limited review of websites of vendors claiming to do business with the United States Capitol Police (USCP or the Department), the Office of Inspector General (OIG) found activity that may be in violation of standard contractual terms and conditions outlined in USCP Acquisition Policy, dated September 20, 2011.  USCP interim guidance includes a standard term and condition titled "Prohibition on Release of Information of Award" which restricts vendors from making advertisements or other information available about the contract with the Department.
