Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a procurement contract specific to economic programs?

Economic program administration often involves federal grants and strict compliance requirements. A tailored contract ensures you include necessary clauses like audit access, performance milestones, and adherence to 2 CFR 200, which generic contracts may miss.

Can this contract be used for both goods and services?

Yes, the template is flexible. You can select the procurement type (e.g., IT, research, supplies) and the scope of work section will adapt to describe the specific deliverables.

Is this a legally binding document?

When signed by both parties, it becomes a binding contract. However, this tool generates a draft that should be reviewed by your legal counsel to ensure it meets all state and federal requirements for your specific situation.
