[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 24, Volume 1] [Revised as of April 1, 2006] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 24CFR24.220] [Page 252] TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT PART 24_GOVERNMENTWIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT)--Table of Contents Subpart B_Covered Transactions Sec. 24.220 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. 24.210, and the amount of the contract is expected to equal or exceed $25,000. (2) The contract requires the consent of a(n) HUD 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.
