“Do we have to get bids?” is a frequently asked question at a federally funded recipient or subrecipient organization. The federal rules apply to grant-funded purchases of supplies, equipment, services, travel, and construction. The procurement standards contained in OMB’s Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.317-327) assume that a recipient or subrecipient already has policies for purchasing with their own source revenue. Those policies can continue to apply. But the federal standards introduce numerous situations in which the non-federal organization needs to go beyond their normal practices and to document that they have done so. These include polices about geographic preference; architect, engineering, and audit services; solicitation of disadvantaged businesses; and sole source justifications. OMB has clarified or altered requirements affecting some of these special circumstances in the recent revisions to 2 CFR 200.
This session will build on 2 CFR 200’s longstanding procurement essentials and highlight the changes that will affect federally funded purchases going forward.
