Is there a threshold below which CCR registration is not required? For example, is CCR registration required for vendors of off-the-shelf equipment?
OMB has proposed a threshold of $25,000 for the purposes of Section 1512 reporting. If the final OMB guidance allows grantees to aggregate sub-awards below that amount, we do not anticipate that CCR registration would be required for those sub-recipients and contractors. Purchases of off-the-shelf equipment from a vendor, for example an office supply store, would not trigger a requirement for the vendor to register, The expense would simply be included in total project costs and outlays, not treated as a separate procurement. CCR-do the requirements apply to prime contractors only or to subcontractors also? Answer: Unless a contractor has contracts directly with the Federal government (not with a transit agency that has a Federal grant), the contractor does not need to register in CCR. For the purposes of 1512 reporting, the direct recipient and any sub-recipients that the direct recipient has delegated to report in FederalReporting.Gov must register in CCR.
