"Assistance" refers to grants and cooperative agreeements and expressly not
to contracts.
PL 95-224.

But there's no statement that CFDA's do not refer to contracts; that's like
asking where there is a statement that apples are not oranges --
logically, definitions are inclusive, not exclusive, statements.

Good Luck with your auditors!!
