Sec.  235.9  Procurement and property management standards.

    (a) Requirements. State agencies shall comply with the requirements 
of 7 CFR part 3016 concerning the procurement of supplies, equipment and 
other services with State Administrative Expense Funds.
    (b) Contractual responsibilities. The standards contained in 7 CFR 
part 3016 do not relieve the State agency of any contractual 
responsibilities under its contract. 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 source evaluation, protests, disputes, claims, or 
other matters of a contractual nature. Matters concerning violation of 
law are to be referred to the local, State or Federal authority that has 
proper jurisdiction.
    (c) Procurement procedure. The State agency may use its own 
procurement procedures which reflect applicable State laws and 
regulations, in accordance with 7 CFR part 3016.
    (d) Property acquired with State administrative expense funds. State 
Agencies shall comply with the requirements of 7 CFR part 3016 in their 
utilization and disposition of property acquired in whole or in part 
with State Administrative Expense Funds.
