Summary of Report 25-009

December 2024

The University of Texas at El Paso (University) does not have a process in place to ensure that each purchase order or payment is associated with its contract. As a result, the University cannot always determine how much it has paid on a contract or if the total payments made have exceeded the maximum contract value. In addition, the University did not always amend or extend contracts as needed. Generally, the University complied with vendor selection, contract formation, and contract monitoring requirements. However, it should strengthen other contracting processes and ensure that users have appropriate rights in its contracting system.
