The National Procurement Fraud Task Force primarily prosecutes violations relating to:

The National Procurement Fraud Task Force focuses on prosecuting violations related to conflict of interest. This encompasses cases where individuals or entities in the procurement process have interests that interfere with their duty to act in the best interest of the public. Such conflicts can undermine the integrity of the procurement process, leading to unfair advantages, wasted resources, and compromised quality in services or goods provided, particularly in government contracts.

In a healthcare context, this task force's work is critical because procurement fraud can lead to significant financial losses and can negatively impact patient care when decisions are influenced by personal gain rather than the needs of the healthcare system. Understanding and navigating these conflicts of interest are fundamental aspects of maintaining compliance within procurement practices.

Other choices, while relevant to healthcare regulations and compliance, do not specifically align with the primary focus of the Task Force. Licensing and certifications, Joint Commission standards, and embezzlement address different aspects of regulatory compliance and fraud that are not the primary targets of the Task Force's activities.
