Condition and context: IFPRI did not follow its suspension and debarment policy for one vendor with a procurement action of $88,000. Cause: IFPRI did not follow its suspension and debarment policy for one vendor by not properly documenting that this vendor went through suspension and debarment within the Lexis Nexis Bridger Insight XG tool at the time of the awarding of the contract. Effect: Given though the vendor in this matter is not suspended or debarred, IFPRI did not have that documented knowledge at the time of the awarding of the contract.
