Overview of Inspection Process

The West Virginia Purchasing Division’s Inspections Unit conducts routine inspections of agency procurements to ensure compliance with state purchasing laws, rules, and procedures. These inspections are performed regularly but may also be completed upon request under special circumstances.

Inspections typically occur on-site at the agency’s location; however, some may require the agency to mail documentation for review.

Below is a summary of the standard inspection process:

Before the Inspection

•  The inspector reviews the agency’s annual spend data and selects a sample (approximately 4%) of procurements for review.

•  The agency’s designated procurement officer is then notified in writing of the upcoming inspection and the selected  transactions.

During the Inspection

•  The inspector reviews documentation related to the selected transactions.
•  Agency personnel must be available to answer questions or provide additional information as needed.

 

After the Inspection

•  The inspector will meet with agency staff to review preliminary findings, answer questions, and provide purchasing procedure training if needed.

•  A draft Inspection Report will be prepared and mailed to the agency for comment.

•  The agency will have approximately two weeks to review the draft, respond in writing, and provide any additional documentation.

•  A Final Report will then be issued, incorporating the agency’s comments.

 

Corrective Action Plan

•  Depending on an agency’s Final Report findings, a Corrective Action Plan may be issued, requiring the agency to take certain steps to prevent future issues.

•  If the inspector identifies potential stringing of purchases, the agency must provide a written response addressing the finding.

 

Prepare for an Upcoming Inspection

The following items should generally be included as part of the official procurement file and will be reviewed by the inspectors during each inspection.  Some transactions may require additional documentation.  These items, as well as any agency-specific requirements, can be used by spending units to create their own checklists to prepare for an upcoming inspection.

They include but are not limited to:

•  Use of statewide contract

•  Bids

•  Vendor properly registered with the Purchasing Division

•  Vendor verification searches completed

•  wvOASIS procurement award document issued

•  Asset tag

•  Non-conflict of interest

•  WVOT/CIO approval
