recipient is responsible for reporting data on payments made to both sub - recipients and <br />vendors. However, as noted in Section 2.3, the reporting requirements for payments <br />made to sub - recipients are not the same as the reporting requirements for payments made <br />to vendors. <br />A sub - recipient is a non - Federal entity that expends Federal awards received from <br />another entity to carry out a Federal program but does not include an individual who is a <br />beneficiary of such a program.b <br />Specifically, sub - recipients are non - Federal entities that are awarded Recovery funding <br />through a legal instrument from the prime recipient to support the performance of any <br />portion of the substantive project or program for which the prime recipient received the <br />Recovery funding. Additionally, the terms and conditions of the Federal award are <br />carried forward to the sub - recipient. It is possible that a sub - recipient for one award may <br />also be a prime recipient of another Federal award provided directly from the Federal <br />Government. <br />Under this Guidance, sub - recipients that receive all or a portion of Recovery funding <br />from a prime recipient may be delegated the responsibility by the prime recipient to <br />report information into the central reporting solution at www.FederalEeporting_gov. This <br />Guidance does not provide for such a delegation to vendors. The policy regarding <br />delegation of reporting by the prime recipient is further described in Section 2.3 of this <br />Guidance. <br />A vendor is defined as a dealer, distributor, merchant, or other seller providing goods or <br />services that are required for the conduct of a Federal program.7 Prime recipients or sub - <br />recipients may purchase goods or services needed to carry out the project or program <br />from vendors. Vendors are not awarded funds by the same means as sub - recipients and <br />are not subject to the terms and conditions of the Federal financial assistance award. <br />The characteristics of a vendor that make it distinct from a sub - recipient are summarized <br />below. A vendor: <br />(1) Provides the goods and services within normal business operations; <br />(2) Provides similar goods or services to many different purchasers; <br />(3) Operates in a competitive environment; <br />(4) Provides goods or services that are ancillary to the <br />operation of the Federal program; and <br />(5) Is not subject to compliance requirements of the Federal program. <br />6 Refer to OMB Circular A -133 for additional information and definitions. OMB Circular A -110, Uniform <br />Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, <br />and other Non - profit Organizations, as codified in 2 CFR 215, provides further clarification on the <br />definition of a sub- recipient. <br />7 Refer to OMB Circular A -133 for additional information and definitions. <br />7 <br />
