Did you know that all non-Federal entities seeking federal grants must now have a compliant procurement system in operation for fiscal years beginning on or after December 26, 2017?!
Is your organization compliant with the latest Procurement Standards as outlined in the uniform guidance? Do your policies facilitate competition when acquiring property or services with federal funds?
In this Procurement Standards for Grantees Boot Camp from Thompson Grants, a 3-hour OnDemand video recording led by grant consultant Dan Durst, will get you and your team up-to-speed on specific procurement techniques and what organizations must do to remain compliant. If your organization can’t demonstrate a compliant procurement system, your current and future funding is at risk. You will cover the following topics:
- Elements of full and open competition
- Required procurement policies
- Roles and responsibilities of key individuals
- Operational workflow for each method of procurement
- How to conduct cost or price analysis
- And much more!
Remember, even if your funds don’t come straight from the federal government, these rules still apply to you as a subrecipient.
