<br />(currently at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform).
<br />ii. "Entity", as it is used in this award term, means all of the following, as
<br />defined at 2 CFR part 25, subpart C, as a Governmental organization,
<br />which is a state, local government, or Indian Tribe; or a foreign public
<br />entity; or a domestic or foreign nonprofit organization; or a domestic or
<br />foreign for-profit organization; or a federal agency, but only as a sub-
<br />recipient under an award or subaward to a non-federal entity.
<br />iii. "Subaward" means a legal instrument to provide support for the
<br />performance of any portion of the substantive project or program for which
<br />you received this award and that you as the recipient award to an eligible
<br />subrecipient. It does not include your procurement of property and services
<br />needed to carry out the project or program (for further explanation, see
<br />Sec. 210 of the attachment to OMB Circular A-133, "Audits of States,
<br />Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations") and may be provided
<br />through any legal agreement, including an agreement that you consider a
<br />contract.
