Phase School Year NSD Plan

Phase 1 SY 2015–16

1) Send SNAP Survey to all program sponsors

receiving AR in SY 2015–16

2) Participate in USDA Pilot of Review Tool

Phase 2 SY 2016–17 Similar to SY 2015-16

+ single contract review

Phase 3 SY 2017–18 Adopt USDA Procurement Tool


Procurement Reviews: 3-Year Plan

Action Year 1: SY 2015–16Technical Assistance (TA) and

Corrective Action

Step 1: Assess SFAs

(off site)

NSD sends mandatory SNAP Survey to all

sponsors receiving AR in SY 2015–16.

Survey asks if they have Code of Conduct

and Procurement Plan

SFA will receive TA as needed. SFA may

receive in-person or online ICN

Procurement 21st Century Training; AND if

applicable, develop a written Code of

Conduct (Code) and/or Procurement Plan

(Plan)

Step 2:

Monitor only SFAs that trigger

Comprehensive Reviews

NSD will assess only SFA responses and

assign TA/corrective action plan (CAP) as

needed to those that trigger Comp SNP ARs

If SFA has Code and Plan, but missing

components: SFA must complete six-part NSD

Webinar series and self certify completion.

Step 3:

SFA Complies with TA/Corrective

Action

NSD will track compliance with CAP for

SFAs ID’d in Step 2 only.

SFA must revise Code and Plan as needed,

and keep on file for CDE (during next review,

complaint, etc.)

Step 4:

Participate in USDA Pilot

(simultaneous w/Steps 1-3)

Randomly choose SFA and conduct pilot

with them and USDA

SFAs will be held harmless to a degree, unless

NSD finds egregious noncompliance
