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.\n(3) The contract is for federally-required audit services.","path":["Title 5—Administrative Personnel","CHAPTER I—OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT","SUBCHAPTER B—CIVIL SERVICE REGULATIONS","PART 919—GOVERNMENTWIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT)","Subpart B—Covered Transactions"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-5.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:23:53Z","sha256":"be25768aceeb46e986f6f763123c12393ffd6fda05115b09913fdd4b486724dd","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/5-cfr-919.215","next":"us/5-cfr-919.225"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
