Sec. 249.21  Procurement and property management.

    (a) Requirements. State agencies must comply with the requirements 
of part 3016 of this title for procurement of supplies, equipment and 
other services with SFMNP funds. These requirements are adopted for use 
by FNS to ensure that such materials and services are obtained for the 
SFMNP in an effective manner and in compliance with the provisions of 
applicable laws and executive orders.
    (b) Contractual responsibilities. The standards contained in part 
3016 of this title do not relieve the State agency of the 
responsibilities arising under its contracts. 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 SFMNP. This 
includes, but is not limited to, disputes, claims, protests of award, 
source evaluation, or other matters of a contractual nature. Matters 
concerning violation of law are to be referred to such local, State or 
Federal authority as may have proper jurisdiction.
    (c) State regulations. The State agency may use its own procurement 
regulations provided that:
