FINDING 2023-001
Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster – Procurement, Suspension, and Debarment
Summary of Finding:
The School Corporation did not obtain price or rate quotes for the four vendors tested that was less
than the simplified acquisition threshold of $150,000 but exceeded the $10,000 micro-purchase
threshold. Documentation detailing the history of procurement, which must include the reason for
the procurement method used, was not available for audit.
There was no evidence of the School Corporation verifying two vendors tested for Suspension
and Debarment that these vendors were not excluded or disqualified from participation in federal
assistance programs or activities.

Views of Responsible Officials:
We concur with the finding.
Description of Corrective Action Plan:
This is a repeat finding due to the immediate timing of the prior audit and a lag for new
controls to take effect. The School District will obtain 3 quotes or do a bid process in the
future. If there is limited availability, we will document the reason 3 quotes are not possible.
Additionally, the District will check for suspension and debarment, create a write-up of our
findings, and obtain Board approval for the contract.
Anticipated Completion Date:
Corrective action steps have been implemented and will be refreshed.
