Description
Summary:The objective of the Inspector General, Department of Defense (IG/DoD), was to evaluate DoD's implementation of Public Law 111-5, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, February 17, 2009 (Recovery Act). Specifically, we determined whether Georgia Army National Guard personnel adequately planned, funded, initially executed, tracked, and reported seven projects to ensure the appropriate use of Recovery Act funds. We determined that Georgia Army National Guard personnel adequately justified these seven Recovery Act projects. Further, Georgia Army National Guard personnel met the Recovery Act's accountability and transparency goals. Personnel at the Georgia Army National Guard planned, funded, executed, and had procedures in place to track and report the projects as required by the Recovery Act and implementation guidance. Georgia Army National Guard contracting officials awarded contracts for four of the seven projects to vendors not registered with the Team Georgia Marketplace. This is an integrated application that automates purchasing tasks and creates and manages bids and supplier contracts, as required in the Georgia Vendor Manual. Although the vendors for those four projects were not registered, the Georgia Army National Guard received a waiver temporarily suspending vendor registration until the Georgia Department of Defense migrates to the new Team Georgia Marketplace system. This report contains no recommendations.
