Finding Text
Criterial or Specific Requirement: Nonfederal entities other than states, including those operating federal programs as subrecipients of states, must follow the procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326. They must use their own documented procurement procedures, which reflect applicable state and local laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable federal statutes and the procurement requirements identified in 2 CFR Part 200. Condition: The organization did not document procurements consistent with the standards of 2 CFR sections 200.318, 200.319, and 200.320. Cause: There are no formally approved written policies and procedures for procurement. Effect or Potential Effect: The cost of the procurements may be disallowed. Recommendation: The organization should become familiar with the procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326 and establish written policies and procedures for procurement. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and is in the process of finalizing written policies and procedures for procurement.
