Finding Details

Finding 2025-002
Child Nutrition - Procurement - Information on Federal Program: U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Nutrition Cluster (National School Breakfast Program, School Lunch Program, Supply Chain, Snack, non-cash commodities, Summer Food Service Program, Assistance Listing numbers 10.553, 10.555 and 10.559) passed through the New York State Education Department. Criteria: 2 CFR Section 200.214 refers to executive orders 12549 and 12689 as well as 2 CFR Part 180, which stipulates that no awards, subawards, or contracts be awarded to parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from receiving or participating in Federal Assistance programs or activities. Statement of Condition: During our discussions with management, we noted that the District is not verifying the eligibility of vendors to participate in Federal assistance programs on an annual basis for the school lunch fund vendors. Statement of Cause: The District did not review compliance requirements related to procurement outlined in 2 CFR Section 200.214 and 2 CFR part 180. Statement of Effect: The District is not in compliance with 2 CFR Section 200.214. The District is not performing required procedures, as a result, vendors that are not eligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities could be selected. Questioned Costs: None Perspective Information: As a result of inquiry, the District performed a review of vendors charged to the school lunch fund, none were suspended or debarred from participation in Federal assistance programs or activities. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the District review the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.214 and 2 CFR Part 180 and ensure that a review of the eligibility of potential vendors to participate in Federal assistance programs or activities is performed prior to disbursing funds to the vendor. This should be verified on an annual basis. Views of the Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Effective September 15, 2025 the District Treasurer will check the status of all vendors associated to the Child Nutrition program. In cooperation with the Food Service Director, the District Treasurer will review eligibility of any vendors that are requested to be used. Any vendor that is found not to be eligibility list will be reported to the Food Service Director and Purchasing Agent. This list will be updated and checked annually.
