Proposals

All contracts awarded by a recipient, including those for amounts less than the simplified acquisition threshold, shall contain the provisions described in paragraphs 1 through 8 in Appendix A of OMB Circular A-110, as applicable, with the following clarifications:

A.1. Equal Employment Opportunity. The reference to "40 CFR part 60" in paragraph 1 of the Appendix in OMB Circular A-110 is replaced by "40 CFR chapter 60." The text of Executive Order 11246 may be found at 3 CFR, 1964-1965 Comp., p.339, and that of Executive Order 11375 may be found at 3 CFR, 1966-1970 Comp., p. 684.

A.2. Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327-333). In paragraph 4 of the Appendix in OMB Circular A-110, the words "all contracts awarded by recipients in excess of $2000 for construction contracts and in excess of $2500 for other contracts that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers" are replaced by "all contracts awarded by recipients in excess of $100,000 for construction or other purposes that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers."

A.3. Debarment and Suspension (E.O.s 12549 and 12689). Paragraph 8 of the Appendix in OMB Circular A-110 applies to contract awards that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold and certain other contract awards described in the Federal awarding agency’s codification of the Governmentwide rule implementing Executive Order 12549 (3 CFR, 1986 Comp., p. 189) and Executive Order 12689 (3 CFR, 1989 Comp., p. 235). The reference to the "small purchase threshold" in the final sentence of paragraph 8 is replaced by "simplified acquisition threshold" (currently $100,000).
