| Abstract | This manual provides Federal Transit Administration (FTA) recipients with examples of procurement practices and lessons learned from a variety of third party procurements undertaken by FTA recipients. It is divided into four major sections that cover the entire procurement cycle: Planning, Selecting Type of Contracting Method, Evaluation of Proposals and Contract Award, and Contract Administration. The topics discussed in each section are derived from Federal statutes, regulations, and guidance that affect recipients’ FTA assisted procurements. It does not include any requirements that are not included in statutes, regulations, FTA Circular 4220.1F, FTA’s Master Agreement, or the Uniform Guidance (also referred to as the “Super Circular,” found at 2 C.F.R. 200, replacing and superseding FTA’s Common Grant Rules found at 49 C.F.R. 18). Examples of procurement practices and lessons learned are provided to help recipients improve their internal procurement processes and avoid common pitfalls. In addition to this manual, FTA provides other resources and guidance on the Procurement page of its website and recipients and vendors are encouraged to sign up for email alerts when FTA posts updates to procurement issues. FTA posts responses to procurement questions it receives from recipients and vendors that may be of general interest to FTA recipients. These Frequently Asked Questions are located on the Procurement page of FTA’s website. |
