enrrective Aetion Taken and Resulta Achieved s

The following corrective actions have been taken:

1.:

_ A Procurement Document Quality Checklist has been created for.use in reviewing for. consistency.between PCs and PR/RPDs. Personne1'

conducting the_ purchase order reviews have been trained regarding i the intent of the checklist criteria and its appropriate application during.the review proces ! To date, H1AP has issued (directly as project manager) approximately 2,600 purchase orders. As of t.his writ.ig,1,831 have been j

reviewed. Twenty-three occurrences (1.264 of those reviewed) have d been found in which the purchase orders issued did not reflect the PR/RPD requirements. Eighteen of these purchase orders have been corrected with'the issuance of supplements.- Five do not require supplements as the information on the procurement documents, although. differing from the PR/RPD requirements, has since been verified as correct and-authorized by the proper technical and quality organization .I Quality control inspectors or cognizant technical organizations have reviewed.the receipt inspection documentation for seventeen of the el i;hteen discrepant purchase ordcrs and determined that the material received was supplied and inspected in accordance with the technical and quality requirements delineated in the PR/RFD._ The material in the field covered by these purchase orders is appropriate for the application. No material has been received to date on one of the discrepant purchase order . The corrective action for those eighteen discrepant orders was transmittal of the corrective supplement to the affected vende The vendors are requested to acknowledge that material and services provided in those purchase orders are in accordance with the technical and quality requirements of the corrective supplemen .

Reviews of the remaining PC's will be completed and any discrepancies appropriately addressed in the saar manner as paragraphs 3 and 4 abov Correctiva Action Taken to Prevent Recurrenca A Procurement Document Quality Checklist has been developed for the purpose of ensuring that safety-related and commercial grado procurement documents and applicable are procedure issued in accordance with the requirements of the PR/RPD (The areas of deficiency noted by the subject audit are specifically included in the checklist.)

The procurement process now requires that procurement documents initiated since June 12, 1989, be reviewed in accordance with the checklist criteria. The buyer initiating the procurement documents is responsible for verifying the checklist criteria and confirming the  ;

verification process by signing the checklist. Accountability for the l

accuracy of the procurement documents is further snsured by a separate verification of the checklist criteria by the nont hishar level of authority. The completed checklist with the two verification signatures is then filed in the procurement document fil Procurement personnel have been trained in regard to the intent of the checklist criteria and their appropriate application in the review of procurement document As a further measure, the Nuclear Purchasing and Haterials Management Procedures are being revised as appropriate to include the requirement that safety related and commercial grade procurement documents must be reviewed and verified with a properly completed and signed Procurement Document Quality Checklist prior to issuance. The applicable Nuclear Purchasing and Haterials Management Procedures will be revised and issued by August 1, 198 V Date of Full Comeliance The remaining purchase orders which have not been reviewed will be reviewed as described in Section IV herein, and all corrections made as necessary by December 31, 198 l A1/039.NL4 EC'd SES9 ELS ETS d15-60103dSNI IN3GIS3d TT:EI 686T/10/80 L _ -_ - _ . __ __-__________-______ _ _- - _ _
