Procurement & Suspension/Debarment

2025-001 – Suspension and Debarment Finding Type. Immaterial Noncompliance; Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Compliance (Suspension and Debarment). Program. Child Nutrition Cluster; U.S. Department of Agriculture; ALN Numbers 10.553, and 10.555; Passed through the Michigan Department of Education; Award Numbers 241970, 251970, 241960, and 251960. Criteria. Under the requirements of 2 CFR Part 180, for covered transactions for procurement and nonprocurement contracts that are expected to equal or exceed $25,000, the grantee must verify that the party being awarded a procurement and nonprocurement contract is not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded by checking the list of excluded parties, obtaining certification from the vendor or subrecipient, or including a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that entity. Condition. For five of the ten vendors selected for testing, the District was unable to provide evidence that the vendors were not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded at the time they were engaged to provide goods or services. Cause. The District does not have the proper internal controls in place to ensure that the appropriate procedures are being followed for covered transactions in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Effect. As a result of this condition, the District was exposed to an increased risk that disbursements of federal awards could be made to vendors or subrecipients suspended or debarred by the federal government. Questioned Costs. No costs have been questioned as a result of this finding inasmuch as no unallowable costs were identified. Recommendation. We recommend that the District review its written policies and procedures over federal awards with employees responsible for grant compliance to ensure that they are being followed consistently. View of Responsible Officials. The District will routinely check the website, print out the list of vendors and date the print out. Responsible Official. Maria Gistinger, Interim Director of Business & Finance Estimated Completion Date. June 30, 2026
