Management decision deadline — for entities that funded this organization
The FAC accepted this audit on November 30, 2025. Under 2 CFR 200.521(d), a pass-through entity that provided federal funds to this organization for this audit period must issue a management decision on these findings by May 30, 2026 (86 days ago).
What is a management decision? →Failure to Conduct Competitive Procurement Procedures Criteria Per 2 CFR §§ 200.318–200.327, non-federal entities must conduct all procurement transactions in a manner providing full and open competition. Sole source procurement may only be used when one of the circumstances outlined in 2 CFR § 200.320(c) applies and is adequately documented in the procurement file. Condition The Organization procured services from contractors identified in the approved grant budget prior to award. However, no evidence was provided to demonstrate that a competitive procurement process was conducted in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. There was no documentation of a sole source justification or other exception permitting noncompetitive procurement. Cause The Organization did not conduct competitive procurement or maintain a documented sole source justification for 4 out of 7 contracts reviewed. Listing the contractor in the grant budget prior to award does not satisfy federal procurement requirements outlined in the Uniform Guidance. Effect Failure to conduct competitive procurement increases the risk of noncompliance with the Uniform Guidance and the possibility that funds are not used appropriately, potentially resulting in questioned costs. Questioned Costs No questioned costs were identified as a result of our procedures. Context/Sampling Seven procurement transactions were tested under the program. In four instances, the Organization did not follow federal procurement requirements. No evidence of competitive bidding or documented sole source justification was provided for these transactions. Recommendation We recommend that the Organization implement procedures to ensure compliance with the procurement standards in 2 CFR §§ 200.318–200.327 for all federally funded purchases, including those where a contractor is named in the grant budget. For future procurements, the Organization should either conduct a competitive bidding process or document and obtain approval for a sole source procurement as allowed under 2 CFR § 200.320(c). Management’s Corrective Action Planned Management accepts the recommendation and will ensure compliance with the procurement standards in 2 CFR §§ 200.318–200.327 for all federally funded purchases by either conducting a competitive bidding process or documenting and obtaining approval for a sole source procurement as allowed under 2CFR §200.320(c).
