INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE Tindley should adhere to strict ethical and legal standards to prevent fraud and ensure accountability. This procurement policy should be cross-referenced with current local, state, and federal laws. II. CODE OF CONDUCT A. Conflict of Interest Tindley purchasers shall not participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract if they have a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such a conflict arises when the Tindley purchaser; any immediate family member (spouse, child, parent, parent in law, sibling, or sibling in law); partner; or an organization that employs, or is about to employ, any of the above has a direct or indirect financial or other interest in, or will receive a tangible personal benefit from, a firm or individual considered for the contract award. An “organizational conflict of interest” is created because of a relationship that a Tindley employee has with a parent, affiliate, or subsidiary organization that is involved in the transaction such that the Tindley employee is or appears to be unable to be impartial in conducting a procurement action involving the related organization. B. Gifts, Money, Gratuities Tindley employees involved in the purchasing process shall not solicit or accept gifts, money, gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value, except unsolicited items or services of nominal value from vendors, prospective vendors, parties to subcontracts, or any other person or entity that receives, or may receive compensation for providing goods or performing services to Tindley. All Tindley purchasers shall review and comply with Tindley’s procedures for disclosing, reviewing, and addressing actual and potential conflicts of interest. III. PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES A. Procurement Procedure See chart at the end of document B. Bid Procedures All procurement shall be conducted in a manner that provides, to the maximum extent practical, a full and open competition. Tindley bid procedures should always follow local, state, and federal requirements. Procurement Processes should include the following: 1. Assemble a Procurement Committee consisting of the Network President, CFO, Grant Manager, and the requestor of the product or service. i. In the event that the requestor of the product or service is the Network President, a Tindley Board member of the applicable committee that corresponds to the request will be asked to participate. 2. Pre-Bid Phase. i. If an outside vendor is needed to develop the bid specifications for a bid project, the vendor, or related parties to the vendor cannot participate in the bid. ii. The procurement committee should have specific criteria of the bid specifications including how bids will be judged based on price, quality, experience of vendors, etc. iii. All solicitations shall incorporate a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements for products or services to be procured. iv. Identify all requirements which offerors must fulfill and all other factors to be used in evaluating bids and proposals. v. If required by local, state, and or federal laws, Tindley should publicly announce in advance of projects that require a competitive bid process. vi. Vendors should not be allowed to interface with Tindley procurement committee members before any public bids are announced, and post-bid announcement, interactions should occur only as part of the formal bid process (questions and answers in writing, face-to-face walk-throughs, proposal phases, and actual bid submissions). 3. Bid Phase. i. All bidders should have adequate time to respond to a bid, including Q&A sessions, and a face-to-face walk-through if necessary. ii. The Tindley employee sending out bid packages including specifications, should not be the same person receiving the vendor bid submissions. iii. The Tindley employee receiving the bid submissions should time and date stamp each bid received and the committee should exclude any bids submitted after the bid deadline. iv. Tindley employees are forbidden to disclose to vendors information about other bidders, including bid proposal contents such as pricing. 4. Bid Selection Phase. i. The procurement committee should develop a bid template and checklist that ranks bids based on criteria developed by the committee and ensures bid procedures are followed. ii. If the procurement committee chooses the winning bid on criteria other than what is stated in the original specifications, the committee must document the reasons why. For example, if the winning bid was not the lowest price, the committee must justify in writing why the vendor was selected. C. Competition All procurement shall be conducted in a manner that provides, to the maximum extent practical, a full and open competition. 1. Procurements shall avoid noncompetitive practices that may restrict or eliminate competition, including but not limited to: a. Unreasonable qualification requirements. b. Unnecessary experience and excessive bonding requirements. c. Non-competitive pricing practices between firms or affiliated companies. d. Non-competitive contracts to consultants on retainer contracts e. Organizational conflicts of interest. f. Specifying “brand name” only instead of allowing “an equal to product.” 2. Procurements shall not intentionally split a single purchase into two or more separate purchases to avoid dollar thresholds that require more formal procurement methods. 3. Procurements shall include in any pre-qualified list an adequate number of current qualified vendors firms or products. 4. Procurements shall not preclude potential bidders from qualifying during the solicitation period. 5. Procurements shall not use any geographic preferences (state local or tribal) in the evaluation of bid proposals except where expressly mandated or encouraged by applicable federal statutes. 6. The procurement team must find, when possible, bidders to compete that were not provided by the Tindley requester. 7. The procurement committee must use independent judgment and notify the Board of Directors and ethics hotline if the requester of products or services is attempting to use undue influence for the team to select specific vendors. D. Considerations Tindley purchasers should take the following actions when procuring goods and services. 1. Conduct a lease versus purchase analysis when appropriate, including for property and large equipment. 2. Consolidate or break out procurements to obtain a more economical purchase if possible. 3. Use state and local intergovernmental or inter-entity agreements, or common or shared goods and services, where appropriate. 4. Use federal excess and surplus property in lieu of purchasing new equipment and property if it is feasible and reduces project costs. 5. Use time and materials contracts only if no other contract is suitable and the contract includes a ceiling price that the contractor exceeds at their own risk. If such a contract is negotiated and awarded, Tindley must assert a high degree of oversight to obtain reasonable assurance that the contractor is using efficient methods and effective cost controls. IV. PROCUREMENT METHODS A. All procurements made under this policy shall: 1. Be necessary, at a reasonable cost, documented, not prohibited by law or the applicable funding source, and made in accordance with this policy. 2. Avoid acquiring unnecessary or duplicative items. 3. Engage responsible vendors who possess the ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions of a proposed procurement. 4. Tindley purchasers shall consider vendor integrity, public policy compliance, past performance record, and financial and technical resources. B. Procurement Parameters For all transactions, Tindley shall follow the applicable procurement method set forth in Appendix 1 C. Exceptions to Standards Methods Solicitation of a proposal from a single source may only be used if the following apply and are documented: 1. The item is only available from single source. 2. Public exigency or emergency will not permit any delay. 3. The Federal awarding agency or pass-through expressly authorizes the sole source in response to a Tindley request. 4. After soliciting a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate. V. DOCUMENTATION A. Records Tindley shall maintain records sufficient to detail the history of each procurement transaction. These records must include, but are not limited to: 1. A description and supporting documentation showing the rationale for the procurement method (e.g., cost estimates). 2. Selection of contract type. 3. Written price or rate quotations (such as catalog price, online price, e-mail or written quote), if applicable. 4. Copies of advertisements, requests for proposals, bid sheets or bid proposal packets. 5. Reasons for vendor selection or rejection, including Finance Committee and Board Minutes, rejection letters, and award letters. 6. And the basis for the contract price. VI. COMPLIANCE WITH THIS POLICY Program directors and, where applicable, the purchasing committee, shall maintain oversight to ensure that contractors and vendors perform in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications of contracts or purchase orders. Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. VII. VENDOR SELECTION CRITERIA For vendors that have been selected in a competitive bid or that will provide critical services to the school, Tindley should evaluate them based on cost, quality, past performance, experience, and financial stability. Before providing services or products, the selected vendor can be asked to provide references, allow for background checks, and provide documentation such as certificate of insurance, certificate standing, adherence to anti-fraud policies, and contracts with right-toaudit clauses.

Views of Responsible Officials: Due to the nature of our operations, we have a multinational payroll carried out in our subsidiaries. The timekeeping records are produced by the employees and reviewed by managers, are received by the finance team once the month is closed and the salaries being paid. To distribute the payroll data to grants as per the allocations in the timekeeping data there is an unavoidable manual aspect which is open to human error. Additional internal controls will be put in place to eliminate human error as far as possible in future.

Management and Corrective Action: The organization has had meetings with both Alameda and Santa Clara Counties, and it has been resolved that all awards are to specify either the federal amount or percentage of federal money.

Auditor Description of Criteria, Condition and Effect. The Uniform Guidance requires the Organization to establish internal controls over disbursements and journal entries related to the compliance requirements applicable to allowable costs/cost provisions. The Organization's policies require an independent review of expenditures and journal entries. Evidence of an independent review was not documented for 1 out of 40 disbursements and all 7 journal entries selected for testing. As a result of this condition, the Organization is exposed to increased risk that program funds could be used for unallowable purposes. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the Organization follow its internal control policies and procedures that require independent review of all disbursement transactions and journal entries. Corrective Action. As of January 1, 2024, Goodwill of Northern Michigan switched accounting software to NetSuite, in which a reviewer is required to review and approve before any journal entry can be posted. A user cannot pass their own journal entry, a reviewer is required to post to the general ledger. Grant related expenses are approved prior to being assembled in the grant packages. All expenses are approved in SAP Concur by the department manager. Some of these expenses are pre-approved before the expense occurs. Additionally, the grant manager reviews the grant packages to be submitted and the corresponding amount to be invoiced. Approval of the grant package is communicated via email. This email will be included in the grant folder. Responsible Person. Annie Kerr, Controller. Anticipated Completion Date. January 1, 2024.
