Third Party Contract Provisions Matrix May 2025

This matrix outlines the clauses and certifications that FTA recipients and subrecipients must include in third-party contracts awarded under an FTA financial assistance award. It reflects current requirements from the FTA Master Agreement (version 33), 2 CFR Part 200, and other applicable federal regulations. The table clearly identifies thresholds for when each provision applies, based on contract value and type (e.g., construction, services, or contracts involving ocean transport).

This document is intended as a compliance aid. While not mandatory, it reflects FTA’s interpretation of applicable requirements and can help recipients meet federal procurement standards. Please refer to the version of the Master Agreement incorporated into your award for definitive guidance.
