Federal Compliance Regulations

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) White House office responsible for devising and submitting the

president's annual budget proposal to Congress.

OMB Circular A-122 A-122 provides specific guidelines of items that are considered

allowable and unallowable costs, and can therefore be charged to the federal government under a federal award.

OMB Circular A-133 A-133 serves to identify existing important compliance

requirements that the Federal Government expects to be considered as part of a Single Audit. Vendor Suspension/Debarment verification through Excluded

Parties List System (EPLS). DO NOT commit to vendor contracts outside of Purchasing

knowledge.

Purchasing Procedures

2. Submit requisition forms on time to your Program Admin Assistant/Supervisor, who will then verify all information and prepare for final Director approval.

3. Once approved, all requisitions will be submitted to Purchasing for final review and processing.

4. As orders begin to arrive, email notifications will be sent out to Program Admin Staff to begin supply/equipment inventory and disbursement.

Purchasing Procedures

5. Returns & Exchanges All of these actions can be performed by field level staff as long

as Purchasing is notified of the changes being made. Staples Advantage: Everyone that has an account and places

orders through the Advantage site can set up all returns/exchanges through their account.

Please note that returns/exchanges need to be dropped off at the Purchasing Office in DTLA as the delivery site is the default return address.

6. Status UpdatesFor Staples orders, status updates are available through your

online account. Please follow up with your Program Admin regarding status of

orders. Feel free to contact me directly if your admin is not readily available.
