Sec.  247.14  Procurement and property management standards.

    (a) Requirements. State and local agencies shall comply with the 
requirements of Circular A-102, Attachment 0 for procurement of 
equipment and other services with Program funds. These requirements are 
adopted by FNS to ensure that such materials and services are obtained 
for the Program in an effective manner and in compliance with the 
provisions of applicable law and executive orders.
    (b) Contractual responsibilities. The standards contained in 
Circulars A-90, A-102 and A-110, where applicable, do not relieve the 
State or local agency of the responsibilities arising under its 
contracts. The State agency is the responsible authority, without 
recourse to FNS, regarding the settlement and satisfaction of all 
contractual and administrative issues arising out of procurements 
entered into in connection with the Program. This includes, but is not 
limited to: Disputes, claims, protests of awards, source evaluation, or 
other matters of a contractual nature. Matters concerning violation of 
law are to be referred to such local, State or Federal authority as may 
have proper jurisdiction.

where applicable.
    (d) Property acquired with Program funds. State and local agencies 
shall observe the standards prescribed in A-102, Attachment N, and A-
110, Attachment N, where applicable, in their utilization and 
disposition of property acquired in whole or in part with Program funds.
