About this file
This document is a Subrecipient vs Contractor Determination Tool updated in April 2025, developed by the Joint Powers Management Authority (JPMA) in Colorado, for use in evaluating whether entities receiving funds under the WIC Mobile Food App contract should be classified as subrecipients or contractors. The tool provides guidance to the administering agency on applying federal criteria to make this determination, which has significant implications for compliance requirements, reporting obligations, and administrative oversight. The document addresses the distinction between these two classifications as they relate to federal funding flowing through state and local government entities, ensuring proper stewardship of public funds and regulatory adherence.
The determination tool establishes a framework for analyzing factors such as the scope of work, degree of independence, performance monitoring, and compliance requirements to classify entities appropriately. This classification is essential for understanding funding flow, establishing proper contract terms, implementing appropriate oversight mechanisms, and ensuring compliance with applicable federal regulations and grant conditions. The tool serves as a reference document to promote consistency in determinations across the WIC program and related initiatives within Colorado's procurement processes.
