Contract Provisions Guide <br />5 <br /> <br />Sample language for some of the federally recommended clauses. <br />This Guide does not provide: <br /> Sample language for certain federally required or recommended clauses that must be <br />included in accordance with the NFE’s applicable laws, rules, and procedures. <br /> Provisions required by applicable state, tribal, or local laws or rules separate from the federal <br />provisions. <br />Many of the provisions described in this Guide only apply when certain circumstances are present, <br />such as the type of work being procured, the dollar amount, or the date when it is procured. Each <br />section will describe the applicable requirements. <br />NOTE: The NFE is solely responsible for ensuring that all language included in its contracts meets the <br />requirements of 2 C.F.R. Part 200, including 2 C.F.R. § 200.327 and Appendix II. While the Contract <br />Provisions Guide provides general guidance, NFEs should reach out to their applicable FEMA grant <br />program representative(s) if they have specific questions on the applicability of the contract <br />provisions to a particular FEMA grant program. NFEs are encouraged to visit www.fema.gov for <br />additional information regarding FEMA grant programs and www.fema.gov/grants/procurement for <br />procurement under grants reference material. <br />Summary of Applicable Federal Procurement Standards <br />For the NFE to determine which federal procurement rules to follow, it must first determine whether <br />it is a state entity or a non-state entity. Below are the federal procurement rules applicable to state <br />and non-state entities effective November 12, 2020: <br /> State entities 2, including their agencies and instrumentalities, must follow their own documented <br />procurement policies and procedures when purchasing under a FEMA award pursuant to 2 C.F.R. <br />§ 200.317. These entities must also comply with socioeconomic affirmative steps (2 C.F.R. § <br />200.321), requirement for domestic preferences for procurement (2 C.F.R. § 200.322), the <br />requirements for procurement of recovered materials (2 C.F.R. § 200. 323) and ensure that all <br />necessary contract provisions are included in their contracts (2 C.F.R § 200.327). <br /> NFEs other than states (collectively referred to as non-state entities 3), which include local <br />governments, tribes and eligible private nonprofit organizations, must have documented <br />procurement policies and procedures, which reflect applicable local, state or tribal law, and <br />ensure compliance with the federal requirements listed at 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.318 – 200.327. <br /> <br />2 A state entity is “any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, <br />U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and any <br />agency or instrumentality thereof exclusive of local governments.” 2 C.F.R. § 200.1 <br />3 A non-state entity is any non-federal entity (as defined above) other than a state (as defined above). <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.317/Wood Rodgers, Inc.
