FTA Issues Procurement Guidance for Grant Recipients<\/h2>\n

Published on: <\/strong><\/em>March 17, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n

In recent months, several transit stakeholders have asked FTA to clarify recipients\u2019 authority to amend the prices of existing contracts or to structure their contracts using advance or progress payments.<\/p>\n

FTA has published guidance, in the form of frequently asked questions<\/a>, to respond to these questions.<\/p>\n

Additionally, FTA advises recipients to consult the Procurement Standards of the Uniform Administrative Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR 200.317-200.327)<\/a> and FTA\u2019s Circular 4220, Third-Party Contracting Guidance<\/a>, for further information.<\/p>\n

Recipients with questions about the requirements that apply to their federally funded procurements should contact their respective FTA regional offices<\/a>.<\/p>\n
