Procurement & Suspension/Debarment

Federal Program: Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant (including COVID-19) - ALN 93.870; Federal Award # 24853633; passed through Texas Department of Family and Protective Services; passed through Texas Health and Human Services Commission. State Programs: Texas Home Visiting (THV) Program Grant - Award # 24853633; direct funding from Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Texas Home Visiting (THV) Program Grant - Award # 24853633; direct funding from Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Criteria: Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.318 - 200.327) and TxGMS (General Procurement Standards) requires non-federal entities to ensure procurements are conducted using appropriate methods based on dollar thresholds and retain supporting documentation, including an adequate number of quotations from qualified sources for simplified acquisitions (formerly small purchases). Condition /Context: During testing of procurement transactions, two instances were identified in which management incorrectly classified procurements as sole source without adequate justification in accordance with Uniform Guidance or TxGMS, as applicable. Additionally, in these two instances tested, management did not retain sufficient documentation of quotes to support that procurements were conducted in compliance with simplified acquisition requirements (formerly small purchase). Questioned Costs: None Effect: Noncompliance with procurement requirements of Uniform Guidance and TxGMS, which increases the risk that purchases were not conducted in a manner providing full and open competition and may result in disallowed costs or increased scrutiny from grantor agencies. Cause: The condition resulted from inadequate procurement controls, including a lack of formalized review procedures for determining and documenting appropriate procurement methods. This resulted in United Way ATX not retaining the required supporting documentation for competitive procurements. Recommendations: United Way ATX should strengthen procurement controls by performing supervisory review of procurement classification and supporting documentation prior to approval and payment. In addition, management should implement standardized documentation requirements, including identification of procurement methods used and retention of quotes or bids for applicable procurements.

Corrective Action Plan

Actions will include: updating the procurement policy to clarify procurement methods and dollar thresholds; adopting a standardized procurement justification template for sole source determinations that requires documented rationale and supervisory approval; implementing a required procurement file checklist that documents the procurement method used, vendor selection process, quotes or bids obtained, and retained supporting documentation; instituting supervisory review and sign off of procurement classification and supporting documentation prior to award approval and payment; providing targeted training for Programs, Finance, and Procurement staff on procurement rules, sole source justification, and simplified acquisition documentation requirements; and performing a retrospective review of the two identified procurements to complete or document required supporting evidence and remediate any gaps. Finance will perform periodic testing of procurement files to verify adherence to the updated procedures and report findings to management and the Audit Committee.

Per Uniform Guidance 2 CFR section 200.320(f), procurement by noncompetitive proposals (solicitation of a proposal from only one source) may be used only when one or more of the following circumstances apply, which should be properly documented: (1) The item is available only from a single source; (2) The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation; (3) The Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity expressly authorizes noncompetitive proposals in response to a written request from the non-Federal entity; or (4) After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate. Condition /Context: United Way ATX?s procurement policy does not describe acceptable documentation to support determination of a vendor being classified as a sole source (noncompetitive procurement).

Questioned Costs: None Effect: Noncompliance with the Procurement requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Cause: This was the implementation year for procurement policies under Uniform Guidance. Recommendations: United Way ATX should review and revise their procurement policy to ensure compliance with Uniform Guidance along with applicable State and local laws and regulations.
