I'd pass on whatever I wanted them to comply with.  The contract is between
Mich Tech and the UK organization.  A-133 doesn't apply to "non-US based
entities" for awards they might receive directly or as a subrecipient but
that doesn't preclude our using the guidelines in A-133.  You might even
consider going to the UK and doing your own audit.

Subject: Subcontracting to a foreign entity under an NSF grant

I am embarrassed to have to ask this question as I know that it has been
discussed to death in the past, but...  I am writing a subcontract in excess
of $100,000 to a an entity in the UK.  How do we handle flow downs of such
things as A-21 and A-133 requirements?

Mike
