Decatur asked to adopt Uniform Guidance procurement policy for federally funded projects

Jun 23, 2025

The village clerk recommended adopting a procurement policy aligned with 2 C.F.R. Part 200 that sets purchase thresholds, procurement methods, documentation standards and M/WBE solicitation steps for federally funded contracts; the draft repeatedly cites federal Uniform Guidance and also references state bid provisions (draft cites G.S. sections).

The full story

Clerk/Treasurer Megan Duncan submitted a draft Uniform Guidance Procurement Policy intended to govern purchases, services and construction when federal funds (2 C.F.R. Part 200) are used in whole or in part. The packet frames the policy around compliance with federal procurement standards and lists procurement methods and thresholds tied to the Uniform Guidance: micro‑purchases (construction under $3,500), small purchase procedures ($3,500 up to $90,000 for services and purchases), competitive sealed bids or other more restrictive procedures for larger contracts, and additional requirements for architectural and engineering services and construction procurements.
