In Finding 2022-005, a finding reported that the Organization did not properly document verification that certain vendors were not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participating in federal programs before entering into transactions with them. In addition, the Organization did not obtain bids, purchase orders, and receiving reports for certain purchases in accordance with established policies. Management recognizes the importance of complying with procurement, debarment, and suspension guidelines. In response to Finding 2022-005, policies and controls that were previously designed will be implemented to verify that vendors are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participating in Federal programs before entering into transactions with the vendor. The procurement policy for bids, purchase orders and receiving reports will be updated and employees trained to ensure compliance with the organization?s policy. These revisions will be completed by the Financial Officer by January 31, 2023.
