Notice of Procurement Process Changes (effective July 1, 2018) due to Uniform Guidance
Funds affected:
Federal and Federal flow-through dollars.
Uniform Guidance Overview
Uniform Guidance (鈥淯G鈥) is a set of regulations (located at 2 CFR 200) that consolidates federal guidelines impacting research administration. Per the OMB website, this guidance 鈥渟upersedes and streamlines requirements from OMB Circulars A-21, A-87, A-110, and A-122 (which have been placed in 2 C.F.R. Parts 220, 225, 215, and 230); Circulars A-89, A-102, and A-133; and the guidance in Circular A-50 on Single Audit Act follow-up.鈥
Impact to the 糖心Vlog Community
Since 糖心Vlog has previously followed State/BOG regulations, changes to procurement practices should be minimal. 糖心Vlog Procurement has partnered with the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) to collaboratively communicate and coordinate the execution of this new requirement. The new regulation became effective on July 1, 2018 and affects all purchases with federal and federal flow-through dollars. As of August 14, 2019, 糖心Vlog鈥檚 micro purchase threshold (MPT) is $20,000 which will impact the 鈥渢wo-quote鈥 requirement for purchases with these funds.
Any questions about this and other UG requirements should be directed to sponsoredprograms@fau.edu.
