AGA Subrecipient vs. Contractor Checklist (1).pdf

The PDF document provides a checklist to help recipients of federal funds determine whether the entity receiving the funds should be classified as a subrecipient or a contractor. It defines terms such as recipient, subrecipient, and contractor, and outlines characteristics and explanations to assist in making the classification. The checklist covers aspects like decision-making authority, nature of award, award risk, criteria for selection, and the entity's business environment. It emphasizes the importance of considering the totality of responses rather than individual indicators to determine the relationship correctly. The document aims to guide recipients in understanding the distinctions between subrecipients and contractors based on specific criteria and characteristics outlined in the Uniform Guidance issued by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.
