Finding 2020-004 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Federal Program: Child Nutrition Cluster CFDA Number: 10.553, 10.555, 1.559 Pass-Through Agency: Minnesota Department of Education Pass-Through Numbers: Not applicable Award Period: July 1, 2019 ? June 30, 2020 Type of Finding: Material Weakness over Internal Control and Other Matters Repeat Finding: The finding is a repeat of a finding in the immediately prior year. Prior year finding number was 2019-003. Criteria: Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations ?200.320 states that for small purchases, that the district must obtain quotes from an adequate number of qualified sources, or for micro purchases, must retain documentation that they have considered all qualified vendors. Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations ?200.213 states that nonfederal entities are subject to the nonprocurement debarment and suspension regulations. Condition/Context: For 2 vendors used, the District did not have quotes on file from an adequate number of qualified sources, nor did they have documentation to support that they have considered all qualified vendors. One vendor tested for suspension/debarment did not have documentation to show that the District verified the vendor was not on the list. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Cause: District is still in process of implementing procedures to properly document procurement requirements in line with the Uniform Guidance. The District did not sufficiently document that suspension/debarment checks were completed. Possible Effect: This could result in the District paying higher prices for goods since they are not attempting to find lower prices with other vendors. The District could enter into a contract with a vendor that is suspended/debarred, which is against federal guidelines for awards. Recommendation: We recommend the District attempt to obtain quotes from an adequate number of sources for small purchases. Additionally, if the purchases are considered micro purchases, we recommend the District retain support that they have considered all qualified vendors. We also recommend that the District document that suspension/debarment procedures are taking place prior to entering into a contract. VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS AND PLANNED CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: Contact Person: Stacy Grover, Business Manager Corrective Action Plan: A corrective action plan is in place.
