DOE uses Prime Contractor but the Fed Recovery uses prime recipient. Are they synonymous?
FederalReporting.gov uses Prime Recipient in a generic sense on their webpage to refer to all direct recipients of funds including grants, loans, and contractors. However, the reporting requirements are different depending on whether your award is in the form of a grant or loan or in the form of a contract. In the FederalReporting.gov reporting process, recipients are asked to identify themselves as a grant/loan recipient or a contractor. For reporting purposes, a prime recipient is defined as a non-federal organization receiving Recovery Act funding (grants, loans, or cooperative agreements) directly from the Federal Government. A prime contractor is defined as a non-federal organization that has entered into a mutually binding legal agreement (i.e. contract) with DOE (with ARRA funds) that requires the prime contractor to provide services and/or supplies.
