The FTA Circular 4220.1F defines the requirements that grantees must meet in awarding third party contracts.  FTA has also published a "Self-Assessment Guide" for grantees. The Guide takes you through a series of questions allowing you to review your procurement procedures to see if they contain all of the requirements in FTA Circular 4220.1F. (Revised: May 2010)
