Planned Corrective Action: Choose New Jersey (“CNJ”) understands the findings outlined in the audit report. CNJ has updated its procurement procedures for the federal grant to align with 2 CFR section 200.213 and 2 CFR section 180.300. To ensure that vendors supporting efforts on the federal grant are not suspended or debarred from doing business with the federal government, CNJ has added a task in our Procurement Summary (procurement checklist) that specifically requires the project manager and CAO to verify the vendor’s eligibility in the System for Award Management ("SAM") maintained by the General Services Administration ("GSA") (available at SAM.gov). In addition to the verification that the vendor is NOT prohibited (debarred or suspended) from providing services to or contracting with the United States government, CNJ will retain a copy of the verification for the procurement file. This action will be completed during the vendor evaluation stage of the procurement and before contract is awarded to the vendor. It should be noted that the vendors selected for testing for 2023 were found to be in good standing. Corrective Action incorporation has already begun and will be fully implemented by 10/15/2024.
