subrecipients from coverage, the provisions of this Circular shall be applied
to subrecipients performing work under awards if such subrecipients are
institutions of higher education, hospitals or other non-profit organizations.
State and local government subrecipientsare subject to the provisions of
regulations implementing the grants management common rule,"Unifonn
Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to
State and Local Governments," published at 53 FR 8034 (3/1 1/88).
SUBPART B - Pre-Award Requirements
_.10 Purpose. Sections _.11 through _.17 prescribes forms and
instructions and other pre-award matters to be used in applying for Federal
awards.
_.11 Pre-award policies,
'.
(a) Use of Grants and Cooperative Agreements, and Contracts. In each
instance, the Federal aWarding agency shall decide on the appropriate
award instrument (i.e., grant, cooperative agreement, or contract). The
Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act (31 U.S.c. 6301-08)
governs the use of grants, cooperative agreements and contracts. A grant or
cooperative agreement shall be used only when the principal purpose of a
transaction is to accomplish a public purpose of support or stimulation
authorized by Federal statute. The statutory criterion for choosing between
grants and cooperative agreements is that for the latter, "substantial
involvement is expected between the executive agency and the State, local
government, or other recipient when carrying out the activity contemplated
in the agreement." Contracts shall be used when the principal purpose is
acquisition of property or services for the direct benefit or use of the
Federal Government.
(b) Public Notice and Priority Setting. Federal awarding agencies shall
notify the public of its intended funding priorities for discretionary grant
programs, unless funding priorities are established by Federal statute.
_.12 FonnsfQxmmlyjng for Federal assistan.ç~~ .
(a) Federal awarding agencies shall comply with the applicable report
clearance requirements of 5 CFR part 1320, "Controlling Paperwork
Burdens on the Public," with regard to all fonns used by the Federal
awarding agency in place of or as a supplement to the Standard Form 424
(SF-424) series.
(b) Applicants shall use the SF -424 series or those forms and instructions
prescribed by the Federal awarding agency.
(c) For Federal programs covered by E.O. 12372, "Intergovernmental
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/al 1 O/printlal 10.html
10/16/2002
Circular No. A- 110 -- Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements .. Page 12 of 51
Review of Federal Programs," the applicant shall complete the appropriate
sections of the SF-424 (Application for Federal Assistance) indicating
whether the application was subject to review by the State Single Point of
Contact (SPOC). The name and address of the SPOC for a particular State
can be obtained from the Federal awarding agency or the Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance. The SPOC shall advise the applicant
whether the program.forwhich application is made has been selected by
that State for review.
(d) Federal awarding agencies that do not use the SF-424 form should
indicate whether the application is subject to review by the State under £.0.
12372.
_.13 Debarment and suspen~i()n. Federal awarding agencies and
recipients shall comply with the nonprocurement debarment and
suspension common rule implementing £.O.s 12549 and 12689,
"Debarment and Suspension." This common rule restricts subawards and
contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended or otherwise
excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs
or activities.
_,14 Special rl\vard conditions. If an applicant or recipient: (a) has a
history of poor performance, (b) is not financially stable, (c) has a
management system that does not meet the standards prescribed in this
Circular, (d) has not conformed to the terms and conditions of a previous
award, or (e) is not otherwise responsible, Federal awarding agencies may
impose additional requirements as needed, provided that such applicant or
recipient is notified in writing as to: the nature of the additional'
requirements, the reason why the additional requirements are being
imposed, the nature of the corrective action needed, the time allowed for
completing the corrective actions, and the method for requesting
reconsideration of the additional requirements imposed. Any special
conditions shall be promptly removed once the conditions that prompted
them have been corrected.
. I 5 Metric system of measurement. The Metric Conversion Act, as
- -
amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act (15 U.S.C. 205)
declares that the metric system is the preferred measurement system for
U.S. trade and commerce. The Act requires each Federal agency to
establish a date or dates in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce,
when the metric system of measurement will be used in the agency's
procurements, grants, and other business-related activities. Metric
implementation may take longer where the use of the system is initially
impractical or likely to cause significant inefficiencies in the
accomplishment of federally-funded activities. Federal awarding agencies
shall follow the provisions ofE.O. 12770, "Mètric Usage in Federal
Government Programs."

by the recipient, and (2) fmancial management systems.that meet the
standards for fund control and accountability as established in Section
_.21. Cash advances to a recipient organization shall be limited to the
minimum amounts needed and be timed to be in accordance with the
actual, immediate cash requirements of the recipient organization in
carrying out the purpose of the approved program or project. The timing
and amount of cash advances shall be as close as is administratively
feasible to the actual disbursements by the recipient organization for direct
program or project costs and the proportionate share of any allowable

awarding agency shall make payment within 30 days after
receipt of the billing, unless the billing is improper.
(2) Recipients shall be authorized to submit request for
reimbursement at least monthly when electronic funds
transfers are not used. .
(f) If a recipient cannot meet the criteria for advance payments and the
Federal awarding agency has determined that reimbursement is not feasible
because the recipient lacks sufficient working capital, the Federal awarding
agency may provide cash on a working capital advance basis. Under this
procedure, the Federal awarding agency shall advance cash to the recipient
to cover its estimated disbursement needs for an initial period generally
geared to the awardee's disbursing cycle. Thereafter, the Federal awarding
agency shall reimburse the recipient for its actual cash disbursements. The
working capital advance method of payment shall not be used for recipients
unwilling or unable to provide timely advances to their subrecipient to meet
the subrecipient's actual cash disbursements.
(g) To the extent available, recipients shall disburse funds available from
repayments to and interest earned on a revolving fund, program income,

(1) Except for paragraph (i)(2), Federal
awarding agencies shall not require separate depository
accounts for funds provided to a recipient or establish any
eligibility requirements for depositories for funds provided to a
recipient. However, recipients must be able to account for the
receipt, obligation and expenditure of funds.
(2) Advances of Federal funds shall be deposited and
maintained in insured accounts whenever possible.
G) Consistent with the national goal of expanding the opportunities for

balance so high that it would not be feasible within the
expected Federal and non-Federal cash resources:
(1) For those entities where CMIA and its implementing regulations do not
apply, interest earned on Federal advances deposited in interest bearing
accounts shall be remitted annually to Department of Health and Human
Services, Payment Management System, Rockville, MD 20852. Interest
amounts up to $250 per year may be retained by the recipient for
administrative expense. State urtiversities and hospitals shall comply with
CMIA, as it pertains to interest. If an entity subject to CMIA uses its own
funds to pay pre-award costs for discretionary awards without prior written
approval from the Federal awarding agency, it waives its right to recover
the interest under CMIA.
(m) Except as noted elsewhere in this Circular, only the following fonns
shall be authorized for the recipients in requesting advances and .
reimbursements. Federal agencies shall not require inorethan an original
and two copies of these forms.

incurring the costs. Thus, allowability of costs incurred by State, local or
federally-recognized Indian tribal governments is determined in accordance
with the provisions ofOMB Circular A-87, "Cost Principles for State,
Local, and Indian Tribal Governments." The allowability of costs incurred
by non-profit organizations is determined in accordance withthe provisions
ofOMB Circular A-122, "Cost Principles for Non-Profit Organizations."
The allowability of costs incurred by institutions of higher education is
determined in accordance with the provisions ofOMB Circular A-21,
"Cost Principles for Educational Institutions." The allowability of costs
incurred by hospitals is determined in accordance with the provisions of
Appendix E of 45 CFR part 74, "Principles for Detennining Costs
Applicable to Research and Development Under Grants and Contracts with
Hospitals." The allowability of costs incurred by commercial organizations
and those non-profit organizations listed in Attachment C to Circular A-
122 is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) at 48 CFR part 31.
_.28P-~.IiQçL(xLZlvajJgÞiJÜYQffunci$. Where a funding period is specified,
a recipient may charge to the grant only allowable costs resulting from
obligations incurred during the funding period and any pre-award costs
authorized by the Federal awarding agency.

(a) OMB authorizes conditional exemption from OMB administrative
requirements and cost principles circulars for certain Federal programs with
statutorily-authorized consolidated planning and consolidated
administrative funding, that are identified by a Federal agency and
approved by the head of the Executive department or establish.m.ent. A
Federal agency shall consult withOMB during its consideration of whether
to grant such an exemption.
(b) To promote efficiency in State and local program administration, when
Federal non-entitlement programs with common purposes have specific
statutorily"'-authorized consolidated planning and consolidated
administrative funding and where most of the State agency's resources
come from non-Federal sources, Federal agencies may exempt these
covered State-administered, non-entitlement grant programs from certain
OMB grants management requirements. The exemptions would be from all
but the allocability of costs provisions of OMB Circulars A-87 (Attach.m.ent
A, subsection C.3), "Cost Principles for State, Local, and Indian Tribal
Governments," A-21 (Section C, subpart 4), "Cost Principles for
Educational Institutions," and A-I22 (Attachment A, subsection A.4),
"Cost Principles for Non-Profit Organizations," and from all of the
administrative requirements provisions of OMB Circular A-II 0, "Uniform
Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions
of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations," and
the agencies' grants management common rule.
;.'. ,:~.
(c) When a Federal agency provides this flexibility, as a prerequisite to a
State's exercising this option, a State must adopt its own written fiscal and
administrative requirements for expending and accounting for all funds,
which are consistent with the provisions ofOMB Circular A-87, and
extend such policies to all subrecipients. These fiscal and administrative
requirements must be sufficiently specific to ensure that: funds are used in
compliance with all applicable Federal statutory and regulatory provisions,
costs are reasonable and necessary for operating these programs, and funds
are not be used for general expenses required to carry out other
responsibilities of a State or its subrecipients.
Property Standards
_.30 Purpose of property standards. Sections _.31 through _.37 set
forth uniform standards governing management and disposition of property
furnished by the Federal Government whose cost was charged to a project
supported by a Federal award. Federal awarding agencies shall require
recipients to observe these standards under awards and shall not impose
additional requirements, unless specifically required by Federal statute. The
recipient may use its own property management standards and procedures
provided it observes the provisions of Sections _.31 through _.37.

_.3llp:mran~~ COy~~mgè, Recipients a provide the
equivalent insurance coverage for real property and equipment acquired
with Federal funds as provided to property owned by the recipient.
Federally-owned property need not be insured unless required by the terms
and conditions of the award.
_.32 Realproperty. Each Federal awarding agency shall prescribe
requirements for recipients concerning the use and disposition of real
property acquired in whole or in part under awards. Unless otherwise
provided by statute, such requirements, at a minim urn, shall contain the
following.
(a) Title to real property shall vest in the recipient subject to the condition
that the recipient shall use the real property for the authorized purpose of
the project as long as it is needed and shall not encumber the property
without approval of the Federal awarding agency.
(b) The recipient shall obtain written approval by the Federal awarding
agency for the use of real property in other federally-sponsored projects
when the recipient determines that the property is no longer needed for the
purpose of the original project.. Use in other projects shall be limited to
those under federally-sponsored projects (i.e., awards) or programs that
have purposes consistent with those authorized for support by the Federal
awarding agency.
. (c) When the real property is no longer needed as provided in paragraphs
(a) and (b), the recipient shall request disposition instructions from the
Federal awarding agency or its successor Federal awarding agency. The
Federal awarding agency shall observe one or more of the following
disposition instructions.
(1) The recipient may be permitted to retain title without
further obligation to the Federal Government after it
compensates the Federal Government for that percentage of the
current fair market value of the property attributable to the
Federal participation in the project.
(2) The recipient may be directed to sell the property under
guidelines provided by the Federal awarding agency and pay
the Federal Government for that percentage of the current fair
market value of the property attributable to the Federal
participation in the project (after deducting actual and
reasonable selling and fix-up expenses, if any, from the sales
proceeds). When the recipient is authorized or required to sell
the property, proper sales procedures shall be established that
provide for competition to the extent practicable and result in
the highest possible return.

(3) The recipient may be directed to transfer title to the
property to the Federal Government or to an eligible third party
provided that, in such cases, the recipient shall be entitled to
compensation for its attributable percentage of the current fair
market value of the property.
/-
_.33 Federally-o\\:11ed and exempt property.
(a) Federally-owned property.
(1) Title to federally-owned property remains vested in the
Federal Government. Recipients shall submit annually an
inventory listing of federally-owned property in their custody
to the Federal awarding agency. Upon completion of the award
or when the property is no longer needed, the recipient shall
report the property to the Federal awarding agency for further
Federal agency utilization.
(2) If the Federal awarding agency has no further need for the
property, it shall be declared excess and reported to the
General Services Administration, unless the Federal awarding
agency has statutory authority to dispose of the property by
alternative methods (e.g., the authority provided by the Federal
Technology Transfer Act (15 U,S.C. 3710 (I» to donate
research equipment to educational and non-profit organizations
in accordance with E.O. 12821, "Improving Mathematics and
Science Education in Support of the National Education
Goals. ") Appropriate instructions shall be issued to the
recipient by the Federal awarding agency.
.'.,'
(b) Exempt property. When statutory authority exists, the Federal awarding
agency has the option to vest title to property acquired with Federal funds
in the recipient without further obligation to the Federal Government and
under conditions the Federal awarding agency considers appropriate. Such
property is "exempt property." Should a Federal awarding agency not
establish conditions, title to exempt property upon acquisition shall vest in
the recipient without further obligation to the Federal Government.
_.34 Equipmcnt.
(a) Title to equipment acquired by a recipient with Federal funds shall vest
in the recipient, subject to conditions of this section.
(b) The recipient shall not use equipment acquired with Federal funds to
provide services to non-Federal outside organizations for a fee that is less
than private companies charge for equivalent services, unless specifically
authorized by Federal statute, for as long as the Federal Government retains
an interest in the equipment.

projects or programs if such other use will not interfere with the work on
the project or program for which the equipment was originally acquired.
First preference for such other use shall be given to other projects or
programs sponsored by the Federal awarding agency that financed the
equipment; second preference shall be given to projects or programs
sponsored by other Federal awarding agencies. If the equipment is owned
by the Federal Government, use on other activities not sponsored by the
Federal Government shall be permissible if authorized by the Federal
awarding agency. User charges shall be treated as program income.

(3) A physical inventory of equipment shall be taken and the
results reconciled with the equipment records at least once
every two years. Any differences between quantities
determined by the physical inspection and those shown in the
accounting records shall be investigated to determine the
causes of the difference. The recipient shall, in connection with
the inventory, verify the existence, current utilization, and
continued need for the equipment.
(4) A control system shall be in effect to insure adequate
safeguards to prevent loss, damage, or theft of the equipment.
Any loss, damage, or theft of equipment shall be investigated
and fully documented; if the equipment was owned by the

successor. The amount of compensatlOn snaIl becÖh1puted by applYIng the
percentage of Federal participation in the cost of the original project or
program to the current fair market value of the equipment. If the recipient
has no need for the equipment, the recipient shall request disposition
instructions from the Federal awarding agency. The Federal awarding
agency shall determine whether the equipment can be used to meet the
agency's requirements. If no requirement exists within that agency, the
availability of the equipment shall be reported to the General Services
Administration by the Federal awarding agency to determine whether a
-requirement for the equipment exists in other Federal agencies. The Federal
awarding agency shall issue instructions to the recipient no later than 120
calendar days after the recipient's request and the following procedures
shall govern.
.~
(1) If so instructed or if disposition instructions are not issued
within 120 calendar days after the recipient's request, the
recipient shall sell the equipment and reimburse the Federal
awarding agency an amount computed by applying to the sales
proceeds the percentage of Federal participation in the cost of
the original project or program. However, the recipient shall be
permitted to deduct and retain from the Federal share $500 or
ten percent of the proceeds, whichever is less, for the
recipient's selling and handling expenses.
(2) If the recipient is instructed to ship the equipment
elsewhere, the recipient shall be reimbursed by the Federal
Government by an amount which is computed by applying the
percentage of the recipient's participation in the cost of the
original project or program to the current fair market value of
the equipment, plus any reasonable shipping or interim storage
costs incurred. .
(3) If the recipient is instructed to otherwise dispose of the
equipment, the recipient shall be reimbursed by the Federal
awarding agency for such costs incurred in its disposition.
(4) The Federal awarding agency may reserve the right to
transfer the title to the Federal Government or to a third party
named by the Federal Government when such third party is
otherwise eligible under existing statutes. Such transfer shall
be subject to the following standards.
(i) The equipment shall be appropriately identified
in the award or otherwise made known to the
recipient in writing.
(ii) The Federal awarding agency shall issue
disposition instructions within 120 calendar days

after receipt of a final inventory. The final
inventory shaUlist all equipment acquired with
grant funds and Jederally-o\VI1ed equipment. If the
Federal awarding agency fails to issue disposition
instructions within the 120 calendar day period,
the recipient shall apply the standards of this
section, as appropriate.
r
(iii) When the Federal awarding agency exercises
its right to take title, the equipment shall be
subject to the provisions for federally-o\VI1ed
equipment.
_.35 Supplies and other expendable property.
(a) Title to supplies and other expendable property shall vest in the
recipient upon acquisition. If there is a residual inventory of unused
supplies exceeding $5000 in total aggregate value upon termination or
completion of the project or program and the supplies are not needed for
any other federally-sponsored project or program, the recipient shall retain
the supplies for use on non-Federal sponsored activities or sell them, but
shall, in either case, compensate the Federal Government for its share. The
amount of compensation shall be computed in the same manner as for
equipment.
(b) The recipient shall not use supplies acquired with Federal funds to
provide services to non-Federal outside organizations for a fee that is less
than private companies charge for equivalent services, unless specifically
authorized by Federal statute as long as the Federal Government retains an
interest in the supplies.

agency action that has the force and effect oflaw, the Federal awarding
agency shall request, and the recipient shall provide, within a reasonable
time, the research data so that they can be made available to the public
through the procedures established under the FOIA. If the Federal awarding
agency obtains the research data solely in response to a FOrA request, the
agency may charge the requester a reasonable fee equaling the full
incremental cost of obtaining the research data. This fee should reflect costs
incurred by the agency, the recipient, and applicable subrecipients. This fee
is in addition to any fees the agency may assess under the FOIA (5 U.S.c.
552(a)(4)(A)).
(2) The following definitions apply for purposes of paragraph
(d) of this section:
¿.
(i) Research data is defined as the recorded
factual material commonly accepted in the
scientific community as necessary to validate
research findings, but not any of the following:
preliminary analyses, drafts of scientific papers,
plans for future research, peer reviews, or
communications with colleagues. This "recorded"
material excludes physical objects (e.g., laboratory
samples). Research data also do not include:

publicly and officially cites the research findings
in support of an agency action that has the force
and effect of law.
(e) Title to intangible property and debt instruments acquired under an
award or subaward vests upon acquisition in the recipient. The recipient
shall use that property for the originally-authorized purpose, and the
recipient shall not encumber the property without approval of the Federal
awarding agency. When no longer needed for the originally authorized
purpose, disposition of the intangible property shall occur in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph _.34(g).
_.37 PJ:QP-~rt-ytIllstI~li!!içm~hÜ2, Real property, equipment, intangible
property and debt instruments that are acquired or improved with Federal
funds shall be held in trust by the recipient as trustee for the beneficiaries of
the project or program under which the property was acquired or improved.
Agencies may require recipients to record liens or other appropriate notices
of record to indicate that personal or real property has been acquired or
improved with Federal funds and that use and disposition conditions apply
to the property.

Procurement Standards
_.40 Purpose of procurement standard$, Sections _.41 through _.48
set forth standards for use by recipients in establishing procedures for the
procurement of supplies and other expendable property, equipment, real
property and other services with Federal funds. These standards are
furnished to ensure that such materials and services are obtained in an
effective manner and in compliance with the provisions of applicable
Federal statutes and executive orders. No additional procurement standards
or requirements shall be imposed by the Federal awarding agenCies upon
recipients, unless specifically required by Federal statute or executive order
or approved by OMB.
_.4 I Recipient responsibilities. The standards contained in this section
do not relieve the recipient of the contractual responsibilities arising under

all contractual and administrative issues arising out of procurements
entered into in support of an award or other agreement. This includes
disputes, claims, protests of award, source evaluation or other matters of a
contractual nature. Matters concerning violation of statute are to be referred
to such Federal, State or local authority as may have proper jurisdiction.
_.42 Codes of conduct. The recipient shall maintain v.TÏtten standards of
conduct governing the performance of its employees engaged in the award
and administration of contracts. No employee, officer, or agent shall
participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported
by Federal funds if a real or apparent conflict of interest would be involved.
Such a conflict would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any
member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an
organization which employs or is about to employ any of the parties
indicated herein, has a financial or other interest in the flrm selected for an
award. The officers, employees, and agents of the recipient shall neither
solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, oranything of monetary value from
contractors, or parties to subagreements. However, recipients may set
standards for situations in which the fmancial interest is not substantial or
the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. The standards of conduct
shall provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such
standards by officers, employees, or agents of the recipient.

~.43 Ç9rnpetition. All procurement transactions shall be conducted in a
manner to provide,.to the maximum extent practical, open and free
competition. The recipient shall be alert to organizational conflicts of
interest as well as noncompetitive practices among contractors that may
restrict or eliminate competition or otherwise restrain trade. In order to
ensure objective contractor perfonnance and eliminate unfair competitive
advantage, contractors that develop or draft specifications, requirements,
statements of work, invitations for bids and/or requests for proposals shall
be excluded from competing for such procurements. A wards shall be made
to the bidder or offeror whose bid or offer is responsive to the solicitation
and is most advantageous to the recipient, price, quality and other factors
considered. Solicitations shall clearly set forth all requirements that the
bidder or offeror shall fulfill in order for the bid or offer to be evaluated by
the recipient. Any and all bids or offers may be rejected when it is in the
recipient's interest to do so.
--:-.44 Procurement procedures.
(a) All recipients shall establish written procurement procedures. These
procedures shall provide for, at a minimum, that (1), (2) and (3) apply.

purchase alternatives to determine which would be the most
economical and practical procurement for the Federal
Government.
.,.~
(3) Solicitations for goods and services provide for all of the
following.
(i) A clear and accurate description of the
technical requirements for the material, product or
service to be procured. In competitive
procurements, such a description shall not contain
features which unduly restrict competition.
(ii) Requirements which the bidder/offeror must

(vi) Preference, to the extent pracûçable and
economically feasible, for products and services
that conserve natural resources and protect the
environment and are energy efficient.
(b) Positive efforts shall be made by recipients to utilize small businesses,
minority-owned finns, and women's business enterprises, whenever
possible. Recipients of Federal awards shall take all of the following steps
to further this goal.
(1) Ensure that small businesses, minority-owned firms, and
women's business enterprises are used to the fullest extent
practicable.

reimbursable contracts, purchase orders, and incentive contracts) shall be
determined by the recipient but shall be appropriate for the particular
procurement and for promoting the best interest of the program or project
involved. The "cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost" or "percentage of
construction cost" methods of contracting shall not be used.
(d) Contracts shall be made only with responsible contractors who possess
the potential ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions
of the proposed procurement. Consideration shall be given to such matters
as contractor integrity, record of past performance, financial and technical
resources or accessibility to other necessary resources. In certain
circumstances, contracts with certain parties are restricted by agencies'
implementation ofE.O.s 12549 and 12689, "Debarment and Suspension."
