{"data":{"id":"us/2-cfr-1600.220","jurisdiction":"us","citation":"2 CFR 1600.220","heading":"What contracts and subcontracts are covered transactions?","body":"First-tier procurements (i.e., primary contracts) under a covered nonprocurement transaction are covered transactions. Although the OMB guidance at 2 CFR 180.220(c) allows a Federal agency to do so (see also optional lower tier coverage in the figure in the appendix to 2 CFR part 180), DFC does not extend coverage of nonprocurement suspension and debarment requirements beyond first-tier procurement under a covered nonprocurement transaction. Moreover, for purposes of determining whether a procurement contract is included as a covered transaction, the threshold in 2 CFR 180.220(b) is increased from $25,000 to the “simplified acquisition threshold” as defined in 48 CFR 2.101.","path":["Title 2—Federal Financial Assistance","Subtitle B—Federal Agency Regulations for Grants and Agreements","CHAPTER XVI—US International Development Finance Corporation","PART 1600—NONPROCUREMENT DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION","Subpart B—Covered Transactions"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-2.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:23:42Z","sha256":"5a153f658663b1dbdd05dffcdc59bb116edd3f9513a65d3933e174bc42ca3a75","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/2-cfr-1600.215","next":"us/2-cfr-1600.332"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
