Audit of the Administration for Children and Families Awarding and Monitoring of an Unaccompanied Children Program Sole Source Contract to Deloitte Consulting LLP

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), a program office of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), manages the Unaccompanied Children Program. In fiscal year 2021, an influx of unaccompanied children began arriving at the U.S. southern border, coinciding with the Nation's ongoing efforts to control the spread of COVID-19. As a result, ACF identified a need to increase the number of shelter beds in its provider network and entered into contracts for shelter and related services for unaccompanied children. ACF awarded a sole source contract to Deloitte Consulting LLP to provide professional support services to address the influx of children at the southern border. We will determine whether ACF awarded and monitored this sole source contract in accordance with Federal statutes, Federal regulations, and HHS policies and procedures.
