Re: CFDA numbers and contracts Herbert B. Chermside 05 Feb 2004 11:37 EST

CFDA is Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance.

No CFDA number associated with any federal contract; contract is
procurement, not assistance.

No CFDA number associated with some grants, e.g. from AID Department of
State, because they are "foreign" rather than "domestic".

But good luck in getting some auditors to understand that reason for not
having CFDA numbers for some federal programs!
