98.220—Are any procurement contracts included as covered transactions?
(2)
Do include some procurement contracts awarded by non-Federal participants in nonprocurement covered transactions (see appendix to this part).
(b)
Specifically, a contract for goods or services is a covered transaction if any of the following applies:
(1)
The contract is awarded by a participant in a nonprocurement transaction that is covered under § 98.210, and the amount of the contract is expected to equal or exceed $25,000.
(2)
The contract requires the consent of a(n) Department of Labor official. In that case, the contract, regardless of the amount, always is a covered transaction, and it does not matter who awarded it. For example, it could be a subcontract awarded by a contractor at a tier below a nonprocurement transaction, as shown in the appendix to this part.
