Federal Reports

For our final report on our audit of the First Responder Network Authority’s (FirstNet Authority’s) oversight of its first two reinvestment task orders (TOs), our objective was to determine whether FirstNet Authority’s process for reinvesting fee payments is effective and consistent with established practices, procedures, and regulations. We found that I. FirstNet Authority did not have sufficient performance measurements in the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan to adequately assess contractor performance for its first two reinvestment TOs; II. FirstNet Authority did not perform independent verification of contractor performance regarding deployables; III. FirstNet Authority contracting officer’s representatives relied on Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) Program Management Office personnel that are not certified or formally appointed to conduct contract monitoring; and IV. FirstNet Authority’s Senior Management Council reviews were not conducted in a transparent manner for the NPSBN reinvestment TOs.
