Acquisition Resource Kit

This set of resources is designed for Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition personnel including contracting officers and contracting officer's representatives, the senior procurement executive, and any other DoD personnel involved in contracting and procuration for the DoD. Each Platform has Action Cards, which have videos, resource guides, one pagers, infographics, case studies, survivor stories, pocket cards, and other resources for acquisition personnel. There is also a searchable table of contents, glossary of terms, and other U.S. Government resources on preventing trafficking in government contracting. The five Platforms are:

The Nature and Scope of Human Trafficking in Government Contracting
Pre-Award Role and Responsibilities of Acquisition Personnel
Post-Award Responsibilities of Acquisition Personnel
Contract Performance Role and Responsibilities of Acquisition Personnel
Contract Close-Out Role and Responsibilities of Acquisition Personnel

Defense acquisition personnel are responsible for notifying appropriate authorities when trafficking in persons contract violations are suspected.

Follow your Service or agency's protocol for notifying the appropriate authority. If you suspect criminal activity, you have multiple options for reporting.

Report the suspected incident through your chain of command, the appropriate DoD law enforcement authority, and/or the DoD Inspector General (IG) Hotline.

The DoD IG Hotline assists DoD employees and the public by referring a trafficking in persons case to the appropriate Defense Criminal Investigative Organization (DCIO).
