Inspection / Evaluation
Description
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) initiated this review to identify AbilityOne Program data generated or maintained by Central Nonprofit Agencies (CNA) and/or Nonprofit Agencies (NPA), that is not currently available to the U.S. AbilityOne Commission (Commission).
The evaluation team reviewed and analyzed the new 2024 Cooperative Agreements between the Commission and CNAs, as well as Commission policies and procedures related to data collection and reporting.
The OIG found no data had been collected in the new electronic systems at the time of our re-view. Based on the updated Cooperative Agreements between the Commission and CNAs, the Commission anticipates having access to relevant program data and the new CNA electronic data systems October 1, 2025. The Commission stated it anticipates collecting data using the new electronic systems for approximately one year so that they have enough data points to ensure they are receiving the appropriate data and identifying various trends and patterns within the data.
Through this evaluation, the OIG observed that if the Commission wants to meet its deadline of implementing the electronic data collection and data dashboard by October 1, 2025, it needed to improve communication with DWG. Specifically, clear communication between the Commission and DWG is needed to ensure that relevant data is displayed on the dashboards once they are created.
The OIG has no specific recommendations associated with this report.
