Is an engineering design consultant with a contract in excess of $25,000 a sub-recipient or a vendor?
The tasks to be performed by the design consultant would need to be known in order to accurately define the consulting firm’s relationship to the awarding entity. Please review the definitions of Sub-recipients and Vendors in Section 2.2 and in the Appendix of OMB Memorandum M-09-21 (pdf). The key difference between a sub-recipient and a vendor is that sub-recipient activities directly execute the mission, whereas vendors provide products or services that indirectly support the mission.
