Equipment
Notes for Equipment Section
Your agency is authorized to purchase equipment as listed in the approved DHS/FEMA 2015 US&R Task Force Equipment Cache List, or any subsequently approved DHS/FEMA US&R Equipment list. Task Force personnel are reminded and directed not to exceed quantity and/or cost caps as listed on the cache list. Task Force must follow department procurement regulations, which are in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 to ensure reasonable prices are obtained. The US&R Program Office and the Grants Office Assistance Officer must provide written approval for any other equipment not identified on approved cache list(s), in program guidance, or specifications. Those Task Forces who maintain an IST Medical Cache are to include the appropriate amount below for replacement of equipment and pharmaceuticals.

However, due to the dynamic program, the requirements for these items (within the amount approved at time of award for this object class) may change. Any changes to listed items will be reflected in the Performance Reports, noting the reason for the change and the Task Force will not be required to submit a budget change if items are on the approved cache lists, noted in the statement of work, or authorized by program guidance or directives. Rolling or floating equipment requires the specifications to be submitted to the US&R Branch/Grants Assistance Officer for prior approval. The general definition of ‘‘Equipment’’ out of the CFR is: "Equipment" means an article of nonexpendable, tangible personal property having a useful life of more than one year and an acquisition cost which equals or exceeds the lesser of the capitalization level established by the governmental unit for financial statement purposes, or $5000.
