OIG recommends that U.S. Embassy Freetown, Sierra Leone, update its Freetown Procurement Standard Operating Procedure for all procurements under $250,000 (the simplified acquisition threshold) to include procedures (1) establishing a bona fide need for the item to be purchased, (2) identifying and documenting the brand and model number of the item being purchased, (3) documenting how the price of the item was determined to be fair and reasonable, and (4) verifying and documenting that the vendor is not on the System for Award Management exclusions list.
