iii. Executive Order 14173: Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.

1. This award term implements Executive Order 14173, 90 FR 8633 (Jan. 21, 2025). By accepting a U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) financial assistance Award or Award Amendment (as the case may be) and expending federal funding thereunder, the recipient:

a. Agrees that compliance in all respects with all applicable

Federal anti-discrimination laws is material to the government’s payment decisions for purposes of section 3729(b)(4) of Title 31 United States Code;

b. Certifies to the Department that it does not operate any programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion that violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws; and

c. Further certifies to the Department that it does not participate in any illegal preferences, mandates, policies, programs, activities, guidance, regulations, enforcement actions, consent orders, and requirements, that violate any applicable federal anti-discrimination laws.

2. Affirmative Duty to Monitor for and to Report Potential Inconsistencies: The recipient must actively monitor its administration of an award to ensure that its activities do not violate the requirements of such award. At any time during the period of performance of this award, if the recipient believes that any of the activities in its approved scope of work may be inconsistent with the policies as outlined above, the recipient has an affirmative duty to immediately stop work on those potentially inconsistent activities and immediately contact the Grants Officer named in the Notice of Award (NoA) to determine whether the potentially inconsistent activities may proceed under this award. The performance of activities that violate or are otherwise inconsistent with requirements as outlined above will result in appropriate enforcement action pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.339, including the disallowance of costs and possible termination of a portion or all of this award.

D. Limitation of Liability and Enforcement Actions. In no event will NIST or DOC be responsible for application preparation costs. Publication of this announcement does not obligate NIST to award any specific project or to obligate any available funds. NIST reserves the right to halt activity under the award through enforcement procedures under 2 C.F.R. 200.339-.341, Remedies for Non-compliance, if the recipient is not fulfilling the requirements of the project as outlined in the grant award. Non-compliance with a federally

2026-NIST-CICGP-01

04/10/2026 approved project may result in termination of the award as described in 2 C.F.R.

200.339.

E. Supporting Documentation. Prior to award or following the issuance of an award, NIST may require recipients to provide draft copies of sub-tier agreements, including subawards and contracts, as well as subrecipient performance monitoring plans.

4) Audit requirements. The DOC Financial Assistance General Terms and Conditions, Section D.01, and 2 CFR part 200 subpart F, adopted by the DOC through 2 CFR § 1327.101, require any non-federal entity (i.e., including non-profit institutions of higher education and non-profit organizations) that expends federal awards of $1,000,000 or more in the recipient’s fiscal year to conduct a single or program specific audit in accordance with the requirements set out in the subpart.

Additionally, unless otherwise specified in the terms and conditions of the award, entities that are not subject to Subpart F of 2 CFR part 200 (e.g., for-profit commercial entities) that expend $1,000,000 or more in DOC funds during their fiscal year must submit to the grants officer either: (i) a financial related audit of each DOC award or subaward in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards; or (ii) a project specific audit for each award or subaward in accordance with the requirements contained in 2 CFR § 200.507. Applicants are reminded that NIST, the DOC Office of Inspector General, or another authorized federal agency may conduct an audit of an award at any time.

5) Reporting Requirements. The following reporting requirements described in

Sections A.01, Reporting Requirements, of the DOC Financial Assistance General Terms and Conditions apply to awards in this program:

D. Recipient Integrity and Performance Matters. In accordance with section 872 of Public Law 110-417 (as amended; see 41 U.S.C. 2313), if the total value of a recipient’s currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from all Federal awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000 for any period of time during the period of performance of an award made under this NOFO, then the recipient shall be subject to the requirements specified in Appendix XII to 2 C.F.R. Part 200 for maintaining the currency of information relating to certain civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings involving the recipient that is reported in SAM.gov.

E. Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. Part 170, all recipients of a federal award made on or after October 1, 2010, are required to comply with reporting requirements under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Public Law No. 109-282).

In general, all recipients are responsible for reporting sub-awards of $30,000 or more. In addition, recipients that meet certain criteria are responsible for reporting executive compensation. Applicants must ensure they have the necessary processes and systems in place to comply with the reporting requirements should they receive funding. Also see the Federal Register notice published September 14, 2010, at 75 FR 55663.

III. Other Information:

1) Allowable Costs. Funds awarded cannot necessarily pay for all the costs that the recipient might incur while carrying out an award. Generally, costs that are allowed include salaries, equipment, supplies, contractual, and other (see also Section I.9) if this NOFO), if these are allowable under the award. Allowable costs are determined by reference to the Cost Principles set forth in Subpart E of 2 C.F.R. Part 200, adopted by the DOC pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 1327.101. All cost reimbursement subawards (e.g., subgrants, subcontracts) are subject to those federal cost principles applicable to the particular type of organization concerned. The recipient may request approval of pre-award costs; however, all costs incurred before the Federal awarding agency makes the Federal award are at the recipient's risk.

2) Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In the event that an application contains information or data that you do not want disclosed prior to award for purposes other than the evaluation of the application, mark each page containing such information or data with the words "Privileged, Confidential, Commercial, or Financial Information - Limited Use" at the top of the page to assist NIST in making disclosure determinations. DOC regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C 552, are found at 15 C.F.R. Part 4, Public Information, which sets forth rules for DOC to make requested materials, information, and records publicly available under FOIA. The contents of funded applications may be subject to requests for release under the FOIA. Based on the information provided by you, the https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-II/part-200/appendix-Appendix%20XII%20to%20Part%20200 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2010/09/14/2010-22705/requirements-for-federal-funding-accountability-and-transparency-act-implementation

2026-NIST-CICGP-01

04/10/2026 confidentiality of the content of funded applications will be maintained to the maximum extent permitted by law.

3) Acknowledgment. Signage associated with construction projects should acknowledge NIST participation.

4) Build America, Buy America Act (BABA). For additional information on BABA and how it applies to construction awards issued pursuant to this NOFO, please visit

BABA.

5) Unique Entity Identifier and System for Award Management (SAM). Pursuant to 2 C.F.R. part 25, applicants and recipients are required to: (i) be registered in SAM before submitting its application; (ii) provide a valid unique entity identifier in its application; and (iii) continue to maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times during which it has an active Federal award or an application or plan under consideration by a Federal awarding agency, unless otherwise excepted from these requirements pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 25.110. NIST will not make a Federal award to an applicant until the applicant has complied with all applicable unique entity identifier and SAM requirements and, if an applicant has not fully complied with the requirements by the time that NIST is ready to make a Federal award pursuant to this NOFO, NIST may determine that the applicant is not qualified to receive a Federal award and use that determination as a basis for making a Federal award to another applicant.

6) Intergovernmental Review. Applications submitted by State and local governments are subject to Executive Order (E.O.) 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs,” pursuant to which each State designates an entity to coordinate, and review proposed federal financial assistance and direct federal development. All other applicants should consult the Intergovernmental Review State Single Point of Contact (SPOC) to determine whether the application is subject to State review pursuant to E.O. 12372.

7) Supporting Documentation. Prior to award or following the issuance of an award, NIST may require recipients to provide draft copies of sub-tier agreements, including subawards and contracts, as well as subrecipient performance monitoring plans.
