Knowing the federal procurement rules when purchasing goods and services under a FEMA grant program, including Public Assistance, will help increase your chance of securing and keeping the funding you need.

Keep in mind that different sets of rules apply depending on your entity type, the cost of your goods or services, contract type, and procurement method.

The UNC School of Government is partnering with FEMA’s Procurement Disaster Assistance Team (PDAT) to offer two trainings on federal procurement standards applicable to local governments (2 C.F.R. §§ 200.317 – 200.327). The target audience for these trainings is FEMA award recipients and subrecipients in North Carolina affected by Hurricane Helene. This includes state, tribal, and local government representatives, as well as nonprofit organization staff and other non-federal entity partners supporting response and recovery efforts under DR-4827-NC.
