During our testing of internal controls over compliance related to procurement and suspension and debarment, we identified a contract that was awarded without required procurement documentation.

In addition, this documentation should be retained, at a minimum, through the completion of the contract. Response: USMEF agrees with the audit finding. USMEF will adhere to its procurement procedures and implement additional controls to ensure that proper procurement records are prepared and retained.
