3 Sources 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative, Cost Principles & Audit Requirements for Federal Awards referred to as the Uniform Guidance Also 45 CFR 75 for HHS Awards
4 Uniform Guidance: Structure at a Glance Subpart A: Definitions Subpart B: General Conditions Subpart C: Pre-Award Conditions Subpart D: Post-Award Requirements Subpart E: Cost Principles Subpart F: Audit Requirements 4
5 Major Themes of the Uniform Guidance
6 Subpart D: Post Award Rules New Internal Controls Establish and maintain effective internal controls over award and comply with regulations and terms and conditions of the award Evaluate and monitor for compliance Take prompt action with instances of non-compliance or if identified in audit findings Take reasonable steps to safeguard Personal Identifiable Information (PII)* that is not already public *PII means information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual s identity or combined with other personal data new 6
7 Subpart C Pre-Award Conditions (Expanded) Agency Review of Risk Posed by Applicants (c) In evaluating risk, the FAA must use a Risk-based approach depending on: Major Theme of Uniform Guidance (4) Reports and findings from audits performed under Subpart F {Single Audits} Audit Requirements of this part or the reports and findings of any other available audits Is there a corrective action plan? Is the PTE monitoring sub s audit findings? Will the PTE enforce if sub does not comply? 7
8 Financial Management (a) NFE s financial management system must: 1. Provide records documenting compliance with Federal statutes, regulations and terms & conditions of award 2. Sufficient to track funds to a level of expenditures 3. To ensure that such funds have been used in accordance with Federal statutes, regulations and terms and conditions of the award 8
9 Changes, Joint Interim Rule, COFAR, FAQs, Start Date
10 Some of the Changes Non-Federal Entity (NFE) [2 CFR ] New section for sub-recipient monitoring Only a 3 year document retention Change in procurement, A-133 and definitions from vendor to contractor Simplified acquisition threshold will be updated to $150,000 from $100,000 Small purchase threshold deleted of $25k Threshold level for equipment capitalization owned by organization is unchanged at $5,000 Single audit threshold from $500k to $750k 10
11 Impact of the Joint Interim Rule* Technical Fixes *Issued December 19, 2014 by all Grant-making Agencies
12 Impact of the Joint Interim Rule Technical Fixes A Move Away from Using DUNS Data Universal Numbering System has been replaced with reserved Appendix 1 (Section D.3) changes from DUNS to Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) The requirements for the UEI will be in SAM Previously the DUNS number was the primary identifier for NFE s in SAM and for applications For new applications, all NFE s must go to SAM for instructions to obtain a UEI for acceptability in applying via Grants.gov Also mentioned for sub-recipient Federal award identification in (a)(1) 12
13 13
14 What are FAQs? COFAR issued FAQs Intended to provided additional context and background to the Uniform Guidance (UG) The last update was FAQ dated 9/9/ Asked-Questions.pdf Any discrepancy between the FAQ and the UG, the UG governs 14
15 What is New under the Uniform Guidance
16 Subpart B: General Provisions Non-Federal Entity (NFE) disclose any potential conflicts-of-interest to Federal Awarding Agency (FAA) or Pass-Through Entity (PTE) New NFE must disclose in a timely manner any violations of criminal law: fraud, bribery, gratuity violations New Failure to disclose may result in remedies in including suspension and debarment 16
17 Subpart D: Post Award Rules New & Change to Period of Performance & Supplies New period of performance section NFE may charge to a Federal award only allowable costs during the period of performance Any costs incurred before the grant was awarded that was specifically authorized Under supplies, including the costs of computing devices per cost principle Materials & Supplies
18 Property Management Standards Equipment threshold is $5,000, or less if NFE s capitalization policy <$5,000 for equipment and > 1 year useful life Title is no longer < $5,000 goes to NFE, or > $5,000 goes to government, except impacts disposition (e)(1)+(2) Title is conditional upon acquisition by NFE (a) per a Property Trust arrangement Agency property manager / administrator Grants Management Officer for your grant/cooperative agreement Conditional means although ownership vests with the NFE, it is still subject to use, management & disposition of equipment per FAQ 8/
19 The Procurement Standards
20 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 Procurement COFAR FAQ: (11/26/14) Procurement ( ) FAQ [1] Micro-purchases under $3,000 (supplies or services) 1. Purchase orders may be awarded without soliciting any competitive quotations if the NFE considers the cost to be reasonable. 2. To the extent practicable, the NFE must distribute their purchases equitably among qualified suppliers 20
21 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 Procurement COFAR FAQ: (11/26/14) Procurement ( ) FAQ [1] Micro-purchases under $3,000 (supplies or services) EXAMPLE: Purchase of a laptop in the amount of $2,000 can be treated as a micro-purchase No competitive price quotations are required for purchase Cost or price analysis is not required 21
22 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 Procurement COFAR FAQ: (11/26/14) Procurement ( ) FAQ If org has a policy that provides strategic sourcing or bulk purchase arrangements The NFE must consider procuring from 1 of a number of computer / office supply stores Such policies should dictate the purchase of a laptop to be rotated among qualified suppliers if they offer a similar price based on prescribed laptop features 22
23 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 Procurement COFAR FAQ: (11/26/14) Procurement ( ) FAQ [2] Purchases under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold currently set at $150,000 All purchases between $3,000 and $150,000 Small purchase procedures are relatively simple and informal Price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources (number of sources > 1, whereas 1 = sole source) The NFE has discretion as to the amount of qualified sources and the method(s) of obtaining price quotations 23
24 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 Procurement COFAR FAQ: (11/26/14) Procurement ( ) FAQ [2] Purchases under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold currently set at $150,000 Price or rate quotations can be: Written or verbal Vendor price list on website Generated via online search engine Small purchases do not require cost or price analysis 24
25 General Procurement Standards (c)(1),(2) Must have written procurement policy Must have Code of Conduct to manage conflicts of interest. Avoid appearance of family, financial or other interest in vendor Anti-kickback policy No gratuities to federal officials Manage organization conflict of interest such as with affiliates, parent company 25
26 Procurement Standards General Procurement Standards.318 Avoid purchasing unnecessary items.318(d) Initiate process w/ purchase request/p.o. (best practice) If necessary, perform lease vs. buy analysis to ascertain the lowest cost method.318(d) Stipulate the type of procurement: FP, T&M.318(i) Ensure vendors aren t on excluded parties list SAM: Agency Review Risk Posed by Applicants Contracts awarded based on contractor integrity, record of past performance, and financial & technical capability.318(h) 26
27 Procurement General Procurement Standards.318(i)&(j) Maintain records sufficient to detail history of procurement: rationale for method of procurement, contract type, selection or rejection, basis of price Limit the use of Time & Material contracts: only use when no other contract is suitable Set a ceiling price, if contract exceeds ceiling it is at their own risk Higher degree of oversight for effective cost controls and efficient methods 27
28 Procurement Full and open competition without restrictive practices: Unreasonable requirements to qualify to do business Unnecessary experience and excessive bonding Noncompetitive pricing practices between firms/affiliates Noncompetitive awards to consultants on retainer Specify only brand names instead of allowing an equal product offered Avoid the use of geographic preference laws RFP publicized and solicited from an adequate number of qualified sources 28
29 Procurement (f) Procurement by noncompetitive proposals when: (sole source) No Threshold at any level The item is available only from a single source Public emergency will be delayed by competition Awarding agency authorizes noncompetitive proposals After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate More than one [qualified] source submitting an offer is competition per (d), else sole source 29
30 Contract Cost & Price Must perform cost or price analysis Cost & price analysis performed with every procurement action > $150,000 including contract modifications NFE negotiate profit as a separate element of the price for each contract w/no competition and all cases where cost analysis is performed 30
31 Contract Cost & Price Must perform cost or price analysis A fair and reasonable profit should be based on: Complexity of the work to be performed Risk borne by contractor Contractor s investment The amount of subcontracting The quality of its record of past performance Industry profit rates in the surrounding geographical area for similar work 31
32 Methods of Procurement Procurement by micro-purchases: adequate suppliers under $3,000 no competition Procurement by Small Purchase Procedures under Simple Acquisition Threshold requires adequate number of qualified sources Procurement by sealed bids: fixed price, lowest bid if meet all qualifications Procurement by competitive proposals for fixed price or cost reimbursable 32
33 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 COFAR FAQ Update: (8/29/14) Indirect cost procurements FAQ Since they are not a direct cost procurement, they do not follow the procurement standards Uniform guidance procurement rules do not apply to acquisitions in the indirect cost areas Uniform guidance procurement rules only apply to the acquisition of goods and services that are directly charged to a Federal award. 33
34 Fixed Amount Awards
35 Subpart C Pre-Award Conditions (b) New Use of Fixed Awards Payments are based on achieving specific requirements Federal amount is negotiated using the cost principles as a guide There is no government review of actual cost incurred Project scope is specific Paid in partial payments based on milestones, unit prices, or full payment upon completion 35
36 Impact of the Joint Interim Rule Technical Fixes Fixed Award / Sub-Awards (b)(1) new verbiage: The FAA or passthrough entity may use fixed amount awards if the project scope is specific and if adequate cost, historical, or unit pricing data is available to establish a fixed amount award based on reasonable estimate of actual cost. Old language was with assurance that the NFE will realize no increment above actual cost. Agencies still have to provide more specific guidance as to the form and details of fixed awards / subawards 36
37 Subpart C Pre-Award Conditions (b) New Use of Fixed Awards Cannot have cost sharing NFE must certify at the end of the award that the project was completed or level of effort was achieved Change in principal investigator or scope of effort must receive prior approval Fixed awards means the NFE provides a level of support regardless of the amount of actual cost incurred Reduces administrative burden and recordkeeping Accountability is based on performance and results Awards/sub-awards for fixed amounts based on simple acquisition threshold of $150,
38 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 Fixed Awards COFAR FAQ: (11/26/14) Fixed Amount Awards ( ) FAQ Are appropriate when the work to be performed can be priced with a reasonable degree of certainty Examples of NFE pricing mechanisms are: (1) Past experience with similar types of work and outcomes with reliably predicted costs (2) NFE can easily obtain price estimates (bids, quotes, catalog pricing) for the significant cost elements 38
39 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 Fixed Awards COFAR FAQ: (11/26/14) Fixed Amount Awards ( ) FAQ Salaries subject to, e.g. ACF or NIH statutory limits, are not mandatory cost-share or match Rather they are statutory limitations that cap charges to a Federal award Amounts above the cap are paid at the discretion of the NFE Since the statutory salary caps are not match, they can be used in fixed amount awards 39
40 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 Fixed Awards COFAR FAQ: (11/26/14) Fixed Amount Awards & End of Award Certifications ( ) FAQ If the FAA does not prescribe the requirements for an end of fixed award certification then: (1) The recipient or sub should certify completion (2) Per (c)(3), a reduction of more than 25% of the level of effort must be reported to the FAA and requires a downward adjustment Reduction methods may include: (a) Adjustment based on percentage of completed work (b) Adjustment based on actual costs incurred-to-date 40
41 Sub-Recipient Monitoring Procedures & Requirements for Pass-Through Entities (PTE)
42 Sub-Recipient Monitoring A Pass-Through Entity (PTE): nonfederal entity provides awards to subrecipient to carry out a federal program Federal award to subrecipient vs. payment of goods and services to a vendor, now contractor
43 Definition of Sub-recipient.330 Federal award characteristics: 1. Determines who is eligible to receive federal assistance 2. Performance measured against objectives of federal program to determine if met 3. Responsibility for programmatic decision making programmatic work is unique 4. Responsibility to follow federal program compliance requirements 5. Use federal funds to carry-out a Federal activity 43
44 Definition of Contractor Procurement relationship with contractor relating to Goods & Services (G&S): 1. Provides G&S within normal business operations 2. Provides similar G&S to many diff. purchasers 3. Operates in a competitive environment 4. G&S are ancillary to operation of federal program 5. Not subject to compliance requirements of a Federal program Use of judgment in making determination as whether the relationship is a sub-recipient or contractor: substance over form 8-29 FAQ vendor & contractor has same meaning 44
45 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 COFAR FAQ Update: (8/29/14).23-2 If PTE calls a sub-award a contract it must treat it as a sub-award per Sub-Recipient and Contractor Determinations Likewise if a PTE has a contract and calls a subcontract or a vendor agreement it must treat it as a contract per
46 Sub-Recipient Monitoring Federal award identification to subrecipient: CFDA title and Federal Award Identification No. Unique Entity Identifier association w/sub s name Award name and number Award year Name of award agency Flow down clauses Total amount of Federal Award Other information such as indirect rate 46
47 Sub-Recipient Monitoring The sub-award agreement must include: Permit PTE and auditors to have access to their records and financial statements Terms and conditions for closeout of sub-award 47

49 Sub-Recipient Monitoring Evaluate each sub-recipient s risk of non-compliance w/federal regs, terms & conditions in order to determine the appropriate sub-recipient monitoring considering such factors as: The sub-recipient s prior experience with sub-awards Results of previous audits including Single Audit Whether sub-recipient has new personnel (training) and new or substantially changed systems The extent of Federal awarding agency monitoring, if the sub-recipient has direct awards with agencies Consider adding specific conditions per
50 Sub-Recipient Monitoring Monitor the sub-recipient s activities to ensure the sub-award is used for authorized purposes. PTE monitoring must include: Reviewing financial and programmatic reports Follow-up, ensuring sub-recipient takes timely and appropriate action on all deficiencies pertaining to the Federal sub-award detected from audits and on-site reviews Issue management decision on audit findings from the PTE to the sub-recipient 50
51 Sub-Recipient Monitoring Based on the PTE s assessment of risk posed by the sub-recipient, consider using these monitoring tools To ensure proper accountability; compliance with program requirements; achievement of performance goals: Provide training and technical assistance on program-related matters Perform on-site reviews of program operations Arrange for agreed-upon-procedures engagements per
52 Sub-Recipient Monitoring Verify sub-recipient had a Single Audit per Subpart F when they have expended or exceeded the threshold per Consider whether the results of audits, on-site reviews or other monitoring indicate conditions that necessitate adjustments to PTE own records Consider taking enforcement action against noncompliant sub-recipients per remedies 52
53 What s New with Indirect Rates
54 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 COFAR FAQ Update: (9/9/15) FAQ Voluntary under-charging, or waiving the recovery of 100% of applied indirect costs If a Non-Federal Entity (NFE) [2 CFR ] voluntarily (without coercion) decides to charge less than the established negotiated rate or waive the NICRA entirely, is a permissible practice Sometimes the NFE requires more funds for direct program efforts and thus reduces the amount of applied indirect or no indirect rate though they have a negotiated indirect rate 54
55 Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 COFAR FAQ Update: (9/9/15) FAQ.19-1 Cognizant Agency for Indirect Cost Even though a cognizant agency (by statute) does not allow the NFE to recover indirect cost for a particular program: Example: CFDA HIV Emergency Relief Project Grants Such cognizant agency is still responsible to negotiate indirect cost 55
