Finding 2023-008
The College did not have a formal procurement policy in place documenting procedures that conform to the procurement standards in the Uniform Guidance.
Corrective Action Plan: The College obtained multiple quotes for a Wi-Fi refresh project. The Chief Information Officer, under the guidance of the Vice President of Finance and Administration, analyzed these quotes and determined that one of them most closely met the needs of the College. This quote was submitted to Laurens County as part of the ARP Infrastructure Application, prepared by the College’s Corporate & Foundation Relations Officer. After Laurens County granted the funding for the Wi-Fi project to the College, the College moved forward with the vendor and scope of work laid out in the quote. However, the College does recognize that it did not adhere to all aspects of the Federal Procurement Policy. The Vice President of Finance and Administration, along with the Controller, will both implement a procurement policy for any purchases made with Federal funds that satisfies the requirements laid out in the Federal Procurement Policy and also educate any faculty/staff involved in purchasing products/services involving Federal funds.
