Management decision deadline — for entities that funded this organization
The FAC accepted this audit on March 21, 2025. Under 2 CFR 200.521(d), a pass-through entity that provided federal funds to this organization for this audit period must issue a management decision on these findings by September 21, 2025 (339 days ago).
What is a management decision? →During review of the District’s procurement process, we noted that the District had a signed contract for behavioral professional services that was paid through federal funds. Upon review of the contract and discussion with the District, the District did not properly verify the vendor was suspended or barred by the federal government. This included no evidence of a clause in the contract, no review of the vendor on SAM.gov, or completion of the verification form by the vendor. Cause: The District's procurement procedures did not include a step to verify the suspension or debarment status of vendors before contract award. Effect: Failure to verify the suspension or debarment status of the vendor could lead to the improper use of federal funds. If the vendor had been suspended or debarred, the District could be subject to disallowance of costs and potential penalties, impacting future federal funding opportunities. Questioned Costs: $48,842.70, which is the total amount paid to the vendor in the fiscal year 2024. Identification as Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the District update its procurement policies to include specific procedures for verifying the suspension and debarment status of all contractors and vendors for federally funded projects. This should be done through the three (3) available options allowed under 2 CFR 180.300. Views of Responsible Officials: Management’s views and corrective action plan is included at the end of this report.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN June 30, 2024 Audit Finding Reference: 2024-001 Verification of Suspension and Debarment (Material Weakness) Condition: During review of the District’s procurement process, we noted that the District had a signed contract for behavioral professional services that was paid through federal funds.

This included no evidence of a clause in the contract, no review of the vendor on SAM.gov, or completion of the verification form by the vendor. Management’s Response and Planned Corrective Action: As a result of this finding, the District immediately requested all new contracts paid through federal funds include a clause stating that the provider has not been suspended or barred from doing business with the federal government. Additionally, District policy DAF-3 regarding the procurement of items/services using federal grant funds now states “No contract is awarded to a contractor who is suspended or debarred from eligibility for participation in federal assistance programs or activities.” Name of Contact Person and Completion Date: Name: Julie Darling, Business Administrator Anticipated Completion Date – Immediate action was taken on this matter and it is now complete.
