Equipment Purchases
Overview
Equipment purchased with funds from the nonprofit school food service account with a per unit acquisition cost that exceeds the School Food Authority’s (SFA's) capitalization threshold (or $10,000, whichever is less), must receive prior approval.
Equipment purchases are reviewed during the Administrative Review (AR) and Procurement Review (PR) audits. The Bureau of School Nutrition (BSN) will ensure allowable equipment purchases were made based on the Preapproved Equipment List or the Preapproval Process. If unallowable purchases are identified or are improperly procured, the BSN will determine if a fund transfer from nonfederal sources to the nonprofit school food service account is required.
In addition to the equipment guidance below, SFAs can Review the Renovating a School Kitchen In a Nutshell, and the List of Known Equipment Vendors Operating in Wisconsin resources to assist in planning and maximizing bid responses.
Preapproval Process
- Review the Equipment Preapproval List - If the equipment purchase is listed, no further action is needed. If the equipment purchase is not on the list, a PI-6206 form must be completed and approved by the DPI BSN prior to purchase.
- Complete an Equipment Preapproval Request Form (PI-6206).
