[lstac] supply chain issues, extensions and gymnastics for FFY 2021 grant

[Erica McCormick]

Howdy.

I'm curious as to how many of you are doing fiscal year gymnastics to accommodate subrecipients and/or your agencies in trying to give them maximum time possible to receive big ticket items such as vans.

We have one subrecipient that has done everything except make the microchip herself to get a van she ordered in October 2021. The van has been sitting in Kansas since April with no chip. We decided to switch her grant to the new award (FFY2022) and extend her grant period to give her till August 2023 to receive the van.

Ford just sent out a memo to government customers in the past month saying pretty much "too bad, too said" if your order is considered an unscheduled order. You will probably need to start over in the ordering process and there's no guarantee on pricing or delivery.

Anyone else practicing gymnastics?
