Applicants must comply with Federal procurement requirements as a condition of receiving Public Assistance funding for contract costs for eligible work. Federal procurement requirements for State and Territorial governments are different than those for Tribal and Local governments and private nonprofits.

State and Territorial government Applicants must:

• Follow the same policies and procedures they would use for procurements with non-Federal funds
• Comply with 2 Code of Federal Regulations 200.322, Procurement of recovered materials
• Ensure that every purchase order or other contract includes any clauses required by 2 Code of Federal Regulations 200.326

FEMA does not typically review State or Territorial procurement policies or procedures. In certain circumstances, FEMA may review State or Territorial procurement policies or procedures or request that a State or Territorial attorney certify in writing whether the Applicant complied with the State’s or Territorial’s procurement policies and procedures.
