Where can we find definitive direction on determining whether a contractor is defined as a sub-recipient or a vendor?
OMB offers the following definitions for a sub-recipient and vendor: A sub-recipient is a non-Federal entity that expends Federal awards received from another entity to carry out a Federal program but does not include an individual who is a beneficiary of such a program. Specifically, sub-recipients are non-Federal entities that are awarded Recovery funding through a legal instrument from the prime recipient to support the performance of any portion of the substantive project or program for which the prime recipient received the Recovery funding. A vendor is defined as a dealer, distributor, merchant, or other seller providing goods or services that are required for the conduct of a Federal program.
