# §19.220. Are any procurement contracts included as covered transactions?

- (a) **Covered transactions under this part—**
  - (1) Do not include any procurement contracts awarded directly by a Federal agency; but
  - (2) Do include some procurement contracts awarded by non-Federal participants in nonprocurement covered transactions (see appendix to this part).
- (b) Specifically, a contract for goods or services is a covered transaction if any of the following applies:
  - (1) The contract is awarded by a participant in a nonprocurement transaction that is covered under [§ 19.210](/cfr/31/19.210.md), and the amount of the contract is expected to equal or exceed $25,000.
  - (2) **The contract requires the consent of a(n) Department of the Treasury official.** In that case, the contract, regardless of the amount, always is a covered transaction, and it does not matter who awarded it. For example, it could be a subcontract awarded by a contractor at a tier below a nonprocurement transaction, as shown in the appendix to this part.
  - (3) **The contract is for federally-required audit services.**
