ASPR has established adequate controls for maintaining physical security over Stockpile Site A and for maintaining its records of inventory. For example, ASPR upgraded the physical security at Site A by updating camera systems and adding guards, and the Stockpile's inventory records were generally accurate. However, we noted two discrepancies related to the location and description of inventory items. These discrepancies occurred because ASPR had not conducted an inventory review since Site A was expanded and reconfigured. These discrepancies we identified were corrected before the completion of our audit.
We recommend that ASPR correct the one Push Package sample item in its Stockpile's inventory system and complete its annual warehouse inventory check by the established target date of September 2024.
ASPR concurred with our recommendation and detailed steps it has taken and plans to take in response to our recommendation.
