Finding Text
For two purchases tested requiring procurement the following errors were noted:
• For 2 of 2 purchases, documentation was not available for review to demonstrate that the
vendor had been reviewed for suspension or debarment prior to the purchases being made.
• For 1 of 2 purchases made, although the school's internal control policy over procurement
was followed, federal procurement procedures, which required formal bids or a request for
proposal, were not followed. Only three written quotes were obtained for the acquisition of
two buses totaling $296,240.
