Finding Details

Special Education Cluster – Procurement Information on Federal Program: U.S. Department of Education Special Education Cluster (Special Education – Grants to State (IDEA, Part B) and Special Education – Preschool Grants (IDEA Preschool) Assistance Listing numbers 84.027 and 84.173) passed through the New York State Education Department. Criteria: 2 CFR Section 200.214 refers to executive orders 12549 and 12689 as well as 2CFR 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. 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 and 2 CFR Part 180. 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 part of required procurement testing, a review of vendors charged to the special education cluster and therefore represents purchases with federal dollars was performed. Of the District’s vendors charged to the fund, none were suspended or debarred from participation in Federal assistance programs or activities. The District did perform a retrospective review of all vendors associated with federal grants, and encountered no vendors that were suspended or debarred. 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 2025, the District has implemented a procedure to perform this review on vendors associated with federal grants annually.
