Maryland State Legislative Audits
Report Description: 
This review was initiated by the Office of Legislative Audits, and it represents an expansion of an earlier limited review that was undertaken based on a joint request from the chairs of the Senate Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs and the House Health and Government Operations Committees for a review of two COVID-related emergency procurements. This current report includes the results of our review of the emergency procurement and accountability of medical supplies from Blue Flame Medical. In addition, during the course of our review, we identified 848 emergency procurements conducted during the period between March 2020 and May 2021 totaling approximately $1.7 billion. Consequently, we expanded the scope of this review to include 14 additional emergency procurements
