Common use of Procurement Guidelines Clause in Contracts

Procurement Guidelines. NCTCOG, in reviewing subgrantee procurement procedures and policies, will determine consistency with 2 CFR Part 200 or the applicable federal law regulating procurement. Stated therein are the governing regulations and implementing guidelines for all procurement activity undertaken with grant funds. Some of those items, with particular applicability to NCTCOG grants, are: • Subgrantees will maintain a contract administration system which ensures that contractors perform in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications of their contracts or purchase orders. • Procedures will allow for analysis of the most economical approach in purchasing, including lease versus purchase alternatives. Each proposed procurement must be reviewed to avoid the purchase of unnecessary or duplicative items. • Subgrantees will make awards only to responsible contractors possessing the ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions of a proposed procurement. Consideration will be given to such matters as contractor integrity, compliance with public policy, record of past performance, and financial and technical resources. • Subgrantees will maintain records sufficient to detail the significant history of procurement. • These standards do not relieve the subgrantee of any contractual responsibilities under its NCTCOG contracts. The subgrantee is responsible, in accordance with good administrative practice and sound business judgment, for the settlement of all contractual administrative issues arising out of any procurement entered in support of a NCTCOG grant. These include, but are not limited to, source evaluation, protests, disputes, and claims.
