Background Information
On April 22, 2024, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) revised sections of OMB Guidance for Grants and Agreements found in Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These revisions apply to all of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awards with a federal award date or disaster declaration date on or after October 1, 2024, unless specified otherwise. The changes include updates to the federal procurement standards, which govern how FEMA award recipients and subrecipients must conduct purchasing under a FEMA award. Recipients and subrecipients must follow the federal procurement standards outlined in 2 C.F.R. ?? 200.317 - 200.327.
FEMA has implemented new provisions effective in 2024 that apply to all Agreements containing federal grants. Both parties (Ceres Environmental Services, Inc., and the City of North Port) mutually desired to amend the original Contracts to incorporate the new FEMA provisions. The Fifth Amendment to Agreement No. 2019-48.001 is a result of incorporating these new FEMA provisions.
