The Headquarters Committee on Contracts (HCC) primarily ensures that proposed procurement actions are based, inter alia, on compliancy, fairness, integrity and transparency. It reviews electronic presentations made by or through UN/PD and advises the ASG/OCSS on whether proposed procurement actions are in accordance with the respective policies and procedures governing them.

The Local Committees on Contract (LCCs) are established for Field Missions and OAHs that perform procurement activities. Its functions, to an appropriate extent, mirror those of the HCC.
