Finding Details

Criteria or specific requirement: The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 2, part 180.220 states that non-Federal entities are prohibited from contracting with or making sub-awards under covered transactions to parties that are suspended or debarred. Condition: The District did not obtain debarment certification or document their vendor search in the System for Award Management website for vendors contracted in excess of $25,000 related to the grant program. Upon further review, it was determined that the vendors were not suspended or debarred. Questioned costs: None. Context: The District did not document their verification that selected vendors were not suspended or debarred. Effect: Noncompliance with the federal award program's suspension and debarment compliance requirements could occur and not be detected and corrected timely. Cause: Written procedures are not in place to verify if vendors contracted in excess of $25,000 related to the Child Nutrition Cluster program are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from doing business. Recommendation: Procedures need to be implemented to ensure all vendors contracted with have not been suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from doing business, prior to procuring their services.
