AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The Redbank Valley School District did not follow proper competitive procurement procedures for a cafeteria equipment purchase.
  • Impacted Requirements: Lack of documentation for bid evaluation and public solicitation raises compliance concerns.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Ensure future contracts include proper competitive procurement documentation to avoid similar issues.

Finding Text

The Redbank Valley School District contracted with a third-party vendor (11400 Food Service Equipment) for cafeteria fund equipment for the District which exceeded the threshold for competitive procurement. The purchase was procured from a quote from the vendor. The District did obtain another quote for the equipment but was unable to provide documentation to verify that the third-party procurement contract was competitively procured, such as a bid evaluation and public solicitation.
