If a FEMA award meets the definition of "funding agreement" under 37 C.F.R. § 401.2(a) and the non -Federal entity wishes to enter into a contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties, assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that "funding agreement," the non - Federal entity must comply with the requirements of 37 C.F. R.

Debarment and Suspension (1986) and Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension (1989) at 2 C.F.R. Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security's regulations at 2 C.F.R. Part 3000 (Non -procurement Debarment and Suspension). These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred. suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs and activities.

In general, an "excluded" party cannot receive a Federal grant award or a contract within the meaning of a "covered transaction," to include subawards and subcontracts. This includes patties that receive Federal funding indirectly, such as contractors to recipients and subrecipients. The key to the exclusion is whether there is a "covered transaction," which is any non -procurement transaction (unless excepted) at either a "primary" or "secondary" tier. Although "covered transactions" do not include contracts awarded by the Federal Government for purposes of the non -procurement common rule and DHS's implementing regulations, it does include some contracts awarded by recipients and subrecipient. Specifically, a covered transaction includes the following contracts for goods or services: (I) The contract is awarded by a recipient or subrecipient in the amount of at least S25,000. (2) The contract requires the approval of the awarding federal agency, regardless of amount. (3) The contract is for federally -required audit services. (4) A subcontract is also a covered transaction if it is awarded by the contractor of a recipient or subrecipient and requires either federal approval, or is in excess of S25,000. This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180 and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000.
