The Procurement Fraud Division supports the overall NCIS mission by safeguarding the Department of Navy's (DON's) major acquisition programs and responding to allegations of corruption, financial fraud, and product substitution. NCIS has a dedicated group of Special Agents who specialize in investigating abuses in the procurement process.   Many of these agents are embedded in other Naval commands.  By reducing the threat of procurement fraud and product substitution, the DON will realize important cost savings and successfully procure quality products that meet safety standards for the war fighter, resulting in increased military readiness.
