Finding #2025-015 14.850 Public Housing Operating Fund Procurement and Suspension and Debarment Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action AMP 1 Response: For Items #2 and #4, management concurs with the finding. Management acknowledges that required documentation verifying that contractors were not suspended, debarred, or excluded was not maintained in the files. Management will conduct a review of contracts to ensure required documentation is obtained and properly filed and will update internal policies to include a checklist to ensure compliance prior to contract execution. • Documentation Review: We will conduct a thorough review of our contracts and ensure that all necessary debarment, suspension, or exclusion from receiving or participation in federal awards are obtained and properly filed. • Policy Improvement: We will update our internal policies to include a checklist for all new contracts, which will ensure that documentation related to debarment, suspension, or exclusion is acquired before proceeding. For Items #2, #4, and #5, management concurs with the finding related to Independent Cost Estimate documentation. Management acknowledges that documentation supporting cost estimates was not maintained prior to solicitation. Management will implement a standardized process for documenting Independent Cost Estimates and will conduct periodic reviews to ensure compliance. We acknowledge the lack of documentation on the Independent Cost Estimate (ICE) procedures prior to solicitation. GHURA is committed to maintaining a procurement system that is transparent, compliant, and fully aligned with federal and local requirements. Moving forward, we will implement measures to ensure that appropriate documentation is created and maintained for all cost estimates. This includes developing a standardized process for documenting ICE procedures and conducting regular reviews to ensure compliance. For Item #15, management does not concur with the finding. Management states that documentation supporting the Independent Cost Estimate was included in Purchase Order No. PO251039. Management refers to the Small Procurement Abstract/Price Analysis Form, which documents prior pricing information used to support cost reasonableness. Small Procurement Abstract/Price Analysis Form that shows ICE information detailing the last price paid for Consumable Inventory. AMP 2 Response: We acknowledge the need to strengthen monitoring controls to ensure full compliance with applicable procurement, suspension, and debarment requirements. We recognize that verification of contractor eligibility and proper documentation of procurement actions are essential components of an effective internal control system. We acknowledge that documentation of the required suspension and debarment verification was not included in the procurement file at the time of purchase. Although this verification was completed after the fact, we have now confirmed through SAM.gov that the vendors involved were not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from receiving federal funds. To prevent this issue going forward, we have implemented a strengthened control requiring staff to perform and document SAM.gov verification prior to every procurement action, including micro purchases. Verification results will be printed or saved as PDF and filed with each procurement record to ensure full compliance with 2 CFR 200.214 and HUD procurement requirements. These corrective measures will ensure that all future procurements include timely and complete documentation of suspension and debarment checks. Corrective Actions Implemented 1. Suspension & Debarment Verification Controls Strengthened Effective immediately, we have implemented enhanced procedures requiring Housing Administrative Officer personnel to verify all prospective contractors and vendors against the SAM.gov Exclusions Database prior to award. 2. Enforcement of Minimum Solicitation Requirements AMP 2 has reinforced compliance with 5 GCA Chapter 5 and internal procurement SOPs requiring minimum solicitation thresholds: • Three written quotes for small purchases above the micro purchase threshold. • Written justification for any noncompetitive procurement, including emergency, sole source, or inadequate competition. • Staff have been retrained on documentation standards, including price reasonableness, vendor selection rationale, and procurement history requirements. 3. Strengthened Management Oversight and File Review To prevent recurrence, AMP 2 will review all required documentation—including SAM verification, solicitation records, and justifications—is complete. GHURA is committed to maintaining a procurement system that is transparent, compliant, and fully aligned with federal and local requirements. These corrective actions strengthen internal controls, ensure proper oversight, and prevent recurrence of the deficiencies identified. AMP 3 Response: For Items #6 (PO251249) and #10 (PO250104), management does not concur with the finding. Management explains that the purchase orders were structured similarly to indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity arrangements to support recurring and variable requirements throughout the fiscal year. Management states that Housing Administrative Officers solicited pricing from multiple qualified vendors at the beginning of the fiscal year to establish competitively awarded pricing schedules. By securing pricing in advance, management was able to address anticipated needs efficiently without preparing separate Independent Cost Estimates for each task, while maintaining fair and reasonable pricing through competition. For Item #22 (BPA250203), management concurs with the finding. Management noted that the blanket purchase agreement was established to support anticipated advertisement services related to the opening and closing of the AMP3 waitlist. At the time, management determined that only one vendor provided hard-copy print publication services locally and was uncertain whether electronic-only media outlets met program needs. Based on this determination, the agreement was executed. However, management acknowledges that the procurement file should have included documentation of market research performed. Management will ensure that future procurement files include adequate documentation of solicitations, market research, and any sole-source or limited-source justifications, as applicable. AMP 4 Response: AMP4 consistently adheres to all procurement policies and requirements prior to executing contracts, agreements, or purchases. Staff will continually ensure documentation is complete and concise with all procurement procedures. AMP4 Response to items: Item #8. We disagree with this finding. Documentation was completed to continue procurement services. See attached documentation labeled as “#8”. Item #s 17, 19, and 20. We disagree with this finding. Documentation on file to support procurement transactions being conducted in a manner that provided for full and open competition. See attached documentation labeled as “#17, #19, #20”. Item # 23. We disagree with this finding. Documentation on file to show evidence services were awarded equally among multiple vendors. See attached documentation labeled as “#23”.

Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Town of Mooresville will adopt a procurement policy for the use of federal funds to ensure that all federal grants are handled appropriately, and all grant requirements are met to the best of our ability going forward. Anticipated Completion Date: To allow time for a policy to be written and adopted by Council and the potential need for outside assistance in creating said policy, the Town of Mooresville anticipates having this policy in place within 60 days of the exit conference.

Corrective Action Plan Year Ended December 31, 2025 Finding 2025-001 – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment Condition: Texas Biomed did not comply with procurement requirements per the Uniform Guidance. Specifically, Texas Biomed did not comply with informal procurement methods for small purchases and noncompetitive procurement requirements. Texas Biomed also did not comply with its own procurement policy in relation to procurements of small purchases and noncompetitive procurements. Texas Biomed did not maintain records for certain procurements sufficient to detail the history of procurement, including the rationale for the method of procurement, selection of contract type, contractor selection or rejection, the basis for the contract price, and the performance of a cost or price analysis, when required. Corrective Action Plan: To ensure compliance and adherence to purchasing policies and procedures, Texas Biomed introduced a Purchasing Compliance Program in November 2025. This program included training and oversight procedures for procurement. The training included ongoing quarterly purchasing training for end users and purchasing staff and new hire training. The purchasing team maintains training documents and ensures new and existing employees have the most current policy, procedures, and requirements to guide them through the purchasing process. The oversight procedures are performed by the Assistant Director of Supply Chain Management and include auditing of purchase orders over the micro-purchase threshold to ensure proper documentation is present. We believe these steps address the procurement findings that have been identified; however, additional controls have been implemented to further ensure compliance. In January 2026, an additional approval step was added to the purchase requisition approval workflow in the procurement system for all federal procurements above the micro-purchase threshold. This step documents review and approval by the Assistant Director of Supply Chain Management or the Director of Finance after reviewing the procurement to ensure compliance with procurement requirements and policies. In addition, Texas Biomed is developing a new sole source justification form for the end users to use. This will include more detail to better document sole source justification, and the end-users will be advised of the new format and how to use it. The Assistant Director of Supply Chain Management also leads efforts of continuous improvement to update and communicate the Purchasing Compliance Program to all Texas Biomed staff. Key dates shall include: • Enhanced new hire training November 2025 • Oversight procedures developed November 2025 • Quarterly training sessions January, April, July and October 2026 • New user training April 2026 • New sole-source template developed and deployed July 2026 Responsible Parties: Eva Zepeda, Director, Finance; Eric McGowin, Assistant Director, Supply Chain Management Completion Date: Corrective action to address internal controls and noncompliance was implemented as of November 2025. Management continues to implement best practices in procurement, including the procedures mentioned above.

FINDING 2025-003 Mr. Tim Johnson - President Elected 1/2/2025-12/31/2028 Mrs. Becky Comoglio - V. President Elected 1/2/2025-12/31/2028 Mr. Ryan Zeck - Secretary Elected 1/2/2023-12/31/2026 Mrs. Kristi Hull - Member Elected 1/2/2023-12/31/2026 Mr. Rick Lee - Member Elected l/2/2025-12/31/2028 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster - Procurement, Suspension, and Debarment Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Jackquan Gray, Business Manager Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 574-626-2525 grayj@lewiscass.net Views of Responsible Officials: We Concur with the Finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: o Create a clear procedure for all small purchases as it relates to procurement. If small purchase procedures are used, then price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources. o Implement a policy requiring verification of all vendors/contractors for "covered transactions" prior to entering into the contract or issuing payment. A "covered transaction" includes contracts for goods and services expected to equal or exceed $25,000. o The standard procedure should be to check the System for Award Management (SAM} exclusions (www.sam.gov) for all vendors involved in covered transactions funded with federal awards. o Establish proper segregation of duties within the procurement and payment processes to ensure no single person controls an entire transaction. Implement a review process to check for compliance with the new procedures before a purchase order is issued or a payment is made. Anticipated Completion Date: This new policy will take place immediately and the process will be followed when there is a need to check vendors in such circumstances.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Program Name: Continuum of Care Program Center for Substance Abuse Treatment - Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Assistance Listing Number: 14.267 93.696 Direct Federal Award Program: PA0029L3T002316 - Tioga Arms PA0568L3T002308 - Shelton Court 22TI85374A – Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Type of Finding: - Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance - Other Matters Condition: As part of our audit procedures over the Organization’s procurement policy and the small purchase requirements under 2 CFR 200.320(a)(2), we sampled a total of five vendors who incurred costs exceeding $10,000 for each of the two major programs. For three of the five vendors selected, management was unable to provide written documentation demonstrating that price or rate quotations were obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources (generally 2-3 quotes) for purchases above the micro-purchase threshold ($10,000) and below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold ($250,000). This documentation should have included the names of suppliers contacted, prices quoted, and the justification for vendor selection. Recommendation: We recommend management update its policies and procedures over procurement to ensure compliance with 2 CFR Part 200. This includes requiring and retaining documentation supporting the use of small purchase procedures, obtaining price or rate quotations from an adequate number of qualified sources, and monitoring vendor expenditures on an aggregate basis to ensure the appropriate procurement method is applied. Management should also provide training for staff responsible for procurement activities to promote consistent compliance with federal requirements. Explanation of Disagreement with Audit Finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management acknowledges the deficiency related to procurement documentation and compliance. While the Organization has procurement practices in place, documentation supporting the solicitation of price or rate quotations from an adequate number of qualified sources was not consistently maintained for certain purchases during the audit period. In certain instances, vendor selection was influenced by the need to ensure continuity of care and avoid disruption to critical services provided to clients. As a result, management prioritized maintaining established vendor relationships to support uninterrupted service delivery; however, formal documentation supporting this rationale was not consistently retained in accordance with procurement requirements. To address this matter, management will update and formalize procurement policies and procedures to ensure full compliance with federal requirements. This will include clearly defined documentation standards for all purchases exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, including retention of vendor quotes, identification of suppliers contacted, and justification for vendor selection—including instances where continuity of care is a determining factor. In addition, training will be provided to all staff involved in procurement activities to reinforce compliance expectations and documentation requirements. Management expects these corrective actions to be implemented in the current fiscal year and will conduct periodic reviews to ensure adherence and ongoing compliance. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Dr. Deja Gilbert, PhD, MDA, FACHE, LPC, LMHC, President and CEO dgilbert@gaudenzia.org Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30, 2026

As part of the Uniform Guidance audit, OU Health will maintain and provide documentation outlining the process by which eligible vendors will be identified and selected. To ensure internal controls are documented to the level necessary under current audit standards, OU Health will update policies in accordance with applicable standards, as well as develop a checklist to document the selection of vendors and the associated purchases made for federal programs. The supporting documentation will be reviewed by management to ensure vendor selection and procurement activities comply with Uniform Guidance requirements. The checklist and all correspondence will be retained with the report and within the Audit Folder.

Finding: During our audit, we identified that the District included a geographic (local) preference in a Request for Proposal (RFP) and related vendor evaluation that was funded, in whole or in part, with the federal program noted above. Federal regulations generally prohibit the use of geographic preferences in the evaluation of bids or proposals for federally funded procurements unless expressly authorized by federal statute. Corrective Action: Tulsa Public Schools acknowledges the finding and is implementing corrective measures to update existing policies and procedures regarding the Request for Proposal (RFP) process to remove geographic (local) preference as part of the evaluation for federal procurement. Implementation of these corrective measures is expected by June 30, 2026. Owner: Rachel Vejraska, Director of Procurement

Finding 2025-002 Significant deficiency in internal control over compliance with procurement procedures meeting the requirements of 2 CFR Part 200. Contact Person(s): Nicholas Lee, Chief Financial Officer Corrective action planned: Management will revise the organization's procurement policy to amend the current dollar threshold, which was determined to be overly restrictive and inconsistent with operational needs and federal procurement standards under 2 CFR Part 200. The updated threshold will align with the Uniform Guidance requirements and provide clear guidance for competitive procurement processes. In addition, the organization will implement a standardized Vendor Justification Form. This form will be required for applicable purchases and will document the rationale for vendor selection, including the price analysis, sole source justification (if applicable), and confirmation that the procurement procedures were followed in accordance with federal requirements. These corrective actions are intended to strengthen internal controls over procurement, improve documentation consistency, and ensure compliance with 2 CFR 200 requirements.
