[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 49, Volume 1] [Revised as of October 1, 2004] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 49CFR29.220] [Page 348-349] TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION Subtitle A--Office of the Secretary of Transportation PART 29_GOVERNMENTWIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT)--Table of Contents Subpart B_Covered Transactions Sec. 29.220 Are any procurement contracts included as covered transactions? (a) Covered transactions under this part-- (1) Do not include any procurement contracts awarded directly by a Federal agency; but (2) Do include some procurement contracts awarded by non-Federal participants in nonprocurement covered [[Page 349]] transactions (see appendix to this part). (b) Specifically, a contract for goods or services is a covered transaction if any of the following applies: (1) The contract is awarded by a participant in a nonprocurement transaction that is covered under Sec. 29.210, and the amount of the contract is expected to equal or exceed $25,000. (2) The contract requires the consent of a(n) DOT official. In that case, the contract, regardless of the amount, always is a covered transaction, and it does not matter who awarded it. For example, it could be a subcontract awarded by a contractor at a tier below a nonprocurement transaction, as shown in the appendix to this part. (3) The contract is for federally-required audit services.
