This evaluation focused on five key content domains:

     •    Preventive maintenance for beds and stretchers

We highlight the risks with how BOR administers IRA drought mitigation funds.

The U.S. AbilityOne Commission's Office of the Inspector General has issued an OIG Alert to inform Program stakeholders of recent activities of a third party. Specifically, the third party entity has published incorrect and misleading information regarding OIG activities and has insinuated that they have confidential OIG information.
