This report presents the results of an audit of the Office of Justice Programs’ Procurement Awarded to ICF Incorporated, LLC, to Support the Office for Victims of Crime Training and Technical Assistance Center.
This audit by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General of the Office of Justice Programs’ (OJP) procurement awarded to ICF Incorporated (ICF) to support the Office for Victims of Crime Training and Technical Assistance Center did not identify significant concerns related to ICF’s compliance with or performance under the task order. However, auditors determined that OJP could have provided better oversight and administration of the procurement. The objectives of this audit were to assess: (1) OJP’s oversight of the ICF procurement; (2) ICF’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the procurement, as well as applicable laws and regulations; and (3) ICF’s performance on the procurement, including financial management, monitoring, reporting, and progress toward meeting the contract tasks. While the auditors did not identify significant concerns related to ICF’s performance, ICF did not timely submit some of its required reports. The report contains six recommendations to assist OJP in improving its acquisition planning, administration, and oversight practices. Leveraging one of General Service Administration’s government-wide contracts, in September 2016, OJP competitively awarded a task order to ICF to support the Office for Victims of Crime Training and Technical Assistance Center. The auditors identified concerns related to OJP’s oversight and administration of the ICF procurement. Auditors also found that ICF provided the services and generally complied with the task order terms and deliverables stated in the statement of work, but that ICF did not provide the annual, quarterly, and training and technical assistance reports timely to OJP, as required by the timeline outlined in the statement of work.
