# §601.220. What contracts and subcontracts, in addition to those listed in 2 CFR 180.220, are covered transactions?


In addition to the contracts covered under [2 CFR 180.220(b)](/cfr/2/180.220.md?p=b) of the OMB guidance, this part applies to any contract, regardless of tier, that is awarded by a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, consultant, or its agent or representative in any transaction, if the contract is to be funded or provided by the DOS under a covered nonprocurement transaction and the amount of the contract is expected to equal or exceed $25,000. This extends the coverage of the DOS nonprocurement suspension and debarment requirements to all lower tiers of subcontracts under covered nonprocurement transactions, as permitted under the OMB guidance at [2 CFR 180.220(c)](/cfr/2/180.220.md?p=c) (see optional lower tier coverage in the figure in the appendix to [2 CFR part 180](/cfr/2/part180.md)).
