                        TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION
 
          Subtitle A--Office of the Secretary of Transportation
 
PART 29_GOVERNMENTWIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT)--Table of 
 
                     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 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.
    (c) The contract is awarded by any contractor, subcontractor, 
supplier, consultant or its agent or representative in any transaction, 
regardless of tier, to be funded or provided by the

DOT under a nonprocurement transaction that is expected to equal or 
exceed $25,000. [See optional lower tier coverage shown in the diagram 
in the appendix to this part.]
