Most of these grants can be used to procure goods and services for DHS end users. The Department of Homeland Security has released an Authorized Equipment List that details the types of equipment that can be procured using grant money from various federal DHS/FEMA preparedness grant programs. For example, grant money that is associated with the State Homeland Security Program may be used to procure only certain types of equipment. Historically, the Authorized Equipment List has been set up in a hierarchical list format. Users can navigate through the list in order to find a specific type of equipment. Each equipment record includes an Authorized Equipment List (AEL) identification number, a title, a description of the item, and a list of grants that allow for the procurement of the item. There are many different types of equipment procured by homeland security agencies and entities. Though the equipment list is quite extensive, the various commodities/equipment generally fall into the following product categories: Personal Protective Equipment Explosive Device Mitigation and Remediation Equipment CBRNE Operational and Search and Rescue Equipment Information Technology Cyber Security Enhancement Equipment
