Subrecipient versus Vendor
When Federal funds are involved, a determination will be made whether the third-party entity is a sub-recipient or a vendor in accordance with OMB Circular A-133 definitions. Vendors are not subject to the same level of monitoring required for subrecipients, however the State of Vermont will require that its vendors comply with all applicable Federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and with the provisions of the subcontract agreements.
