The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of the Organization.

Finding Details

Finding 2022-001
2022-001 ? Procurement Suspension & Debarment Program: AL# 97.024 ? Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program Sponsor Award Number: Phase 39; ARPAR Sponsor Agency: U.S. Department of Homeland Security Criteria: Non-federal entities that are operating federal programs must follow the procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326. This includes utilizing appropriate procurement methods and following requirements for each method selected. If small purchase procedures are used, price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources (2 CFR section 200.320(b)). Citation: 2 CFR section 200.320(b) Condition: The Organization did not obtain price or rate quotes from an adequate number of qualified sources. Cause: Although the Organization?s procurement policies and procedures are updated to comply with the Uniform Guidance, they were not consistently followed. Effect: Failure to obtain price or quotes from an adequate number of qualified sources may result in ineffective use of government funds. Questioned Costs: None. Context: During our testing of the Organization?s procurement requirements, we noted a lack of documentation supporting the Organization?s review of an adequate number of qualified sources before the procurement decision was made. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization implement monitoring procedures to ensure internally established procurement policies are followed. Documentation should include the rationale for the method of procurement used, the basis for contractor selection, and the basis for the contract price. Views of Responsible Officials: See Corrective Action Plan.
