EXCLUSIVE: A new inspector general's report released Thursday morning accuses the former Biden administration of bypassing federal rules when issuing a more than half-a-billion dollar "sole source contract" to a nonprofit led by a former Biden official to deal with the unaccompanied minor crisis in 2021.
The Administration of Children and Families (ACF), which is under HHS and manages unaccompanied minors, awarded $529 million for a one-year contract in March 2021 to a nonprofit called Family Endeavors Inc. to help establish and manage a new emergency intake site in Texas (EIS) with 2,000 extra beds. However, according to the OIG's new report, Biden's ACF failed to follow federal procurement requirements for full and open competition due to their own "insufficient planning," rather than the COVID-induced emergency the Biden administration cited.
Furthermore, the inspector general's report found that the contract price was more than double the agency's own cost estimate of $244 million, and indicated that the agency "subsequently modified" the award 15 times, extending the period until May 2022 and increasing the value to more than three times the original estimate from ACF.
"ACF knew well in advance of March 2021 that it was projected to need more shelter beds than existing sites could provide and should have begun contract planning at that time," the report states. "ACF failed to reasonably conduct the necessary advanced planning to execute a contract for procurement of those beds and related services using full and open competition."
The report says ACF made only a limited attempt to do the necessary research for the contract, and did not even follow the findings it came up with.
"On March 5, 2021, Endeavors emailed ORR offering emergency assistance for the care of unaccompanied alien children.

Here’s an idea:
SEND THEM BACK !
Is Hunter a board member, or maybe silent partner?
it was a campaign funding project. THEY ARE ALL CAMPAIGN FUNDING PROJECTS! It’s not shocking anymore.
529 MILLION
This happened in 2022. It is 2026. Quick by DC standards to find out.
Seems as if they knew what they were doing in getting around the system. The scary part of them being in charge. Laws and rules and regulations mean nothing to them.
“Unaccompanied minor children”
A particularly lucrative commodity
ALL BY DESIGN..the Biden regime was the MOST CORRUPT EVER but the commie media had a motto “If we dont report it it NEVER happened” so they covered it up as usual since the commies were running things
Skirting. Bypassing. Great reporting Faux News. 👏 👏 👏
It’s funny.
They’ve changed their name.
Their “history” page stops in 2018.
They don’t list their board of directors.
I guess if you want to “find out” anything about them you have to knock on their door.
Endeavors is literally 100 feet from my office here in San Antonio. They built a building on one corner for a “Stephen J. Cohen Military Family Clinic” and bought the 3-story building right across the street. They leased two other spaces, one in my complex and the other right across De Zavala Road. Then I noticed that the church that had been operating on about 6 very desirable acres about 200 yards down the street was all of a sudden closed and the property sold. Did a little digging: Family Endeavors, Inc. bought it. No for sale sign, it was just sold to them.
A bit perplexing...LOTS of funding.
ANOTHER “AUTO-PEN” SIGNING?
Yes, but they are really nice beds...
Smart, he listens to his lawyers
Ill take ‘Hand in the cookie jar’ for 600 million, Alex!
