# §95.613. Procurement standards.

- (a) **General.** Procurements of ADP equipment and services are subject to the procurement standards prescribed by 2 CFR parts [200](/cfr/2/part200.md) and [300](/cfr/2/part300.md) regardless of any conditions for prior approval. The Department retains the authority to provide greater oversight including requiring a State to comply with [2 CFR 200.319](/cfr/2/200.319.md) if the Department determines that the State procurement process is an impediment to competition that could substantially impact project cost or risk of failure.
- (b) Those standards, as well as the requirement for prior approval, apply to ADP services and equipment acquired by a State or local agency, and the ADP services and equipment acquired by a State or local Central Data Processing facility primarily to support the Social Security Act programs covered by this subpart. Service agreements are exempt from these procurement standards.
