(a) States. When procuring property
and services under a grant, a State will
follow the same policies and procedures
it uses for procurements from its non-
Federal funds. The State will ensure

tract includes any clauses required by
Federal statutes and executive orders
and their implementing regulations.
Other grantees and subgrantees will
follow paragraphs (b) through (i) in
this section.
28 CFR Ch. | (7-1-10 Edition)
(b) Procurement standards. (1) Grant-
ees and subgrantees will use their own
procurement procedures which reflect
applicable State and local laws and
regulations, provided that the procure-
ments conform to applicable Federal
law and the standards identified in this
section.
(2) Grantees and subgrantees will
maintain a contract administration
system which ensures that contractors
perform in accordance with the terms,
conditions, and specifications of their
contracts or purchase orders.
(3) Grantees and subgrantees will
maintain a written code of standards of
conduct governing the performance of
their employees engaged in the award
and administration of contracts. No
employee, officer or agent of the grant-
ee or subgrantee shall participate in se-
lection, or in the award or administra-
tion of a contract supported by Federal
funds if a conflict of interest, real or
apparent, would be involved. Such a
conflict would arise when:
(i) The employee, officer or agent,
(ii) Any member of his immediate
family,
(ili) His or her partner, or
(iv) An organization which employs,
or is about to employ, any of the
above, has a financial or other interest
in the firm selected for award. The
grantee’s or subgrantee’s officers, em-
ployees or agents will neither solicit
nor accept gratuities, favors or any-
thing of monetary value from contrac-
tors, potential contractors, or parties
to subagreements. Grantee and sub-
grantees may set minimum rules where
the financial interest is not substantial
or the gift is an unsolicited item of
nominal intrinsic value. To the extent
permitted by State or local law or reg-
ulations, such standards or conduct
will provide for penalties, sanctions, or
other disciplinary actions for viola-
tions of such standards by the grant-
ee’s and subgrantee’s officers, employ-
ees, or agents, or by contractors or
their agents. The awarding agency may
in regulation provide additional prohi-
bitions relative to real, apparent, or
potential conflicts of interest.
(4) Grantee and subgrantee proce-
dures will provide for a review of pro-
posed procurements to avoid purchase
of unnecessary or duplicative items.
