Recommendation Contents
OIG recommends that the Bureau of African Affairs (AF), in coordination with the Bureau of Administration, Office of the Procurement Executive, (a) develop a monitoring plan template that can be tailored to each contract, a quality assurance surveillance plan template that can be tailored to each contract, and include these plans in the contract requirements checklist used by contracting officer’s representatives (CORs) overseeing the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership projects; and (b) ensure that CORs use these plans and other monitoring methods described in 14 FAH-2 H-520 to perform oversight of contracts.
