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. "If we knew what it was we were doing, It would not be research would it?" Albert Einstein Susan W.

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. -- Rachel Cockrell Asst.
