USDOT Office for Subaward and Contract Authorization: FHWA Office of Acquisition and Grants 
Management 
SUBAWARDS AND CONTRACTS APPROVAL  
Note: See 2 CFR § 200.331, Subrecipient and contractor determinations, for definitions of subrecipient 
(who is awarded a subaward) versus contractor (who is awarded a contract).  
Note: Recipients with a procurement system deemed approved and accepted by the Government or by 
the Agreement Officer (the “AO”) are exempt from the requirements of this clause. See 2 CFR 200.317 
through 200.327.  
In accordance with 2 CFR 200.308(f)(6), the recipient or subrecipient shall obtain prior written approval 
from the USDOT agreement officer for the subaward, if the subaward activities were not proposed in the 
application or approved in the Federal award. This provision is in accordance with 2 CFR 200.308 (f) 
(6) and does not apply to procurement transactions for goods and services. Approval will be issued 
through written notification from the AO or a formal amendment to the Agreement.  
The following subawards and contracts are currently approved under the Agreement by the AO. This list 
does not include supplies, material, equipment, or general support services which are exempt from the 
pre-approval requirements of this clause. 
5.2 
Reimbursement Requests 
(a) The Recipient may request reimbursement of costs incurred within the budget period of this agreement 
if those costs do not exceed the amount of funds obligated and are allowable under the applicable cost 
provisions of 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart E. The Recipient shall not request reimbursement more 
frequently than monthly. 
(b) The Recipient shall use the DELPHI iSupplier System to submit requests for reimbursement to the 
payment office. When requesting reimbursement of costs incurred or credit for cost share incurred, 
the Recipient shall electronically submit supporting cost detail with the SF-270 (Request for Advance 
or Reimbursement) or SF-271 (Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement for Construction 
Programs) to clearly document all costs incurred. 
(c) The Recipient’s supporting cost detail shall include a detailed breakout of all costs incurred, including 
direct labor, indirect costs, other direct costs, travel, etc., and the Recipient shall identify the Federal 
share and the Recipient’s share of costs. If the Recipient does not provide sufficient detail in a request 
for reimbursement, the Agreement Officer’s Representative (the “AOR”) may withhold processing 
that request until the Recipient provides sufficient detail. 
(d) The USDOT shall not reimburse costs unless the AOR reviews and approves the costs to ensure that 
progress on this agreement is sufficient to substantiate payment. 
(e) In the rare instance the Recipient is unable to receive electronic funds transfers (EFT), payment by 
EFT would impose a hardship on the Recipient because of their inability to manage an account at a 
financial institution, and/or the Recipient is unable to use the DELPHI iSupplier System to submit 
their requests for disbursement, the FHWA may waive the requirement that the Recipient use the 
DELPHI iSupplier System. The Recipient shall contact the Division Office Lead Point of Contact for 
instructions on and requirements related to pursuing a waiver.  
(f) The requirements set forth in these terms and conditions supersede previous financial invoicing 
requirements for Recipients.
