d. Non-Competitive Procurement Contracts In Excess of Simplified Acquisition
Threshold
If an applicant proposes to make one or more non-competitive procurements of products
or services, where the non-competitive procurement will exceed the simplified
acquisition threshold (also known as the small purchase threshold), which is currently
set at $150,000, the application should address the considerations outlined in the
OJP
Financial
Guide.
5. Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (if applicable)
Indirect costs are allowed only if the applicant has a federally approved indirect cost rate.
(This requirement does not apply to units of local government.) Attach a copy of the
federally approved indirect cost rate agreement to the application. Applicants that do not
have an approved rate may request one through their cognizant federal agency, which will
review all documentation and approve a rate for the applicant organization, or, if the
applicant’s accounting system permits, costs may be allocated in the direct cost categories.
For assistance with identifying your cognizant agency, please contact the OJP Office of the
Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) Customer Service Center at 1-800-458-0786 or
at ask.ocfo@usdoj.gov. If DOJ is the cognizant federal agency, applicants may obtain
information needed to submit an indirect cost rate proposal

6. Applicant Disclosure of High Risk Status
Applicants are to disclose whether they are currently designated high risk by another federal
grant making agency. This includes any status requiring additional oversight by the federal
agency due to past programmatic or financial concerns. If an applicant is designated high
risk by another federal grant making agency, you must email the following information
to
OJPComplianceReporting@usdoj.gov
at the time of application submission:
The federal agency that currently designated the applicant as high risk;
Date the applicant was designated high risk;
The high risk point of contact name, phone number, and email address, from that
federal agency; and
Reasons for the high risk status;
OJP seeks this information to ensure appropriate federal oversight of any grant award.
Unlike the Excluded Parties List, this high risk information does not disqualify any
organization from receiving an OJP award. However, additional grant oversight may be
included, if necessary, in award documentation.
