Procurement Training for FEMA Grant Recipients
FEMA is hosting two webinars regarding procurements under FEMA awards and requirements for Recipients and subrecipients when procuring services and supplies with funding under Stafford Act grant programs (Hazard Mitigation Grant Program [HMGP] and Pre-Disaster Mitigation [PDM]). This information will also apply to Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) awards.
The webinar will cover requirements set forth in the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR 200) so that participants can identify and avoid potential violations of the Federal procurement requirements. Violations of the Federal procurement requirements can result in reduced Federal grant funding.
The goal of the webinar is to reduce applicant violations of the Federal procurement regulations by training participants on the Federal procurement requirements set forth at 2 CFR Sections 200.317 through 200.326.
The webinar content and log-in information is the same for both sessions. Closed captioning will be provided.
