                     Subpart B_Covered Transactions

 

Sec. 620.220  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 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. 620.210, and the amount of the 

contract is expected to equal or exceed $25,000.

    (2) The contract requires the consent of a(n) National Science 

Foundation 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.
