Would you mind telling me what grant you received? We are a community
college that is laging behind in equipment and technology - it is hard
to find grants that will pay for upgrades. I doubt that anythiing we do
would be in competition with you.

We have a Department of Education grant for equipment and supply
purchases to upgrade our science labs. This is a 4 part question
e-mail.
1. At what dollar threshold would we have to go out for a formal RFP?
2. How is the threshold calculated? On per unit costs or total award
or some other method?
3. Is the threshold $25,000 as referenced in EDGAR 74,
Administration of Grants & Agreements with Institutions of Higher
Education, Hospitals, & Other Non-profit organizations, under
Subpart C, 74.40-74.48 ?
Specifically under section 74.44, (5) (e) (2) it states:
(e) Recipients shall, on request, make available for the Secretary,
pre-award review and procurement documents, such as request for
proposals or invitations for bids, independent cost estimates, etc.,
when any of the following conditions apply:
(1) A recipient's procurement procedures or operation fails to
comply with the procurement standards in this part.
(2) The procurement is expected to exceed the small purchase
threshold fixed at 41 U.S.C. 403 (11) (currently $25,000) and is to be
awarded without competition or only one bid or offer is received in
response to a solicitation.
4. Does anyone know the link to 41 U.S.C. 403 (11) to find out if
the small purchase threshold is still fixed at $25,000 or has that
amount changed?
Thank you in advance.
