Grant Resources

This page serves as a resource hub for assisting applicants and grantees with required documentation on Future Ready Iowa grants. Please see below for information on SAM.GOV Registration and Activation, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Authorization, and Procurement Policy.
 

SAM.GOV Registration and Activation

All grantees are required to have an active SAM.gov unique code (previously the DUNS number).  If you do not have a SAM.gov code, you will be required to register and activate a SAM.gov code before any agreement with IWD will be fully executed.  The information on your SAM.gov registration MUST MATCH the information on your W-9.

The SAM.gov Help Guide and SAM.gov Registering After UEI Guidance can be found at these links:

Dept Admin Services – State Accounting Enterprise

Procurement Policy

All grantees are required to provide a copy of their procurement policy to IWD along with the return of their executed agreement. 

What does a procurement policy do? The purpose of a procurement policy is to ensure that best value – the most advantageous balance of price, quality, and performance – is obtained when purchasing business-related products and services, and to minimize fraud, waste, and abuse in purchasing.

The procurement policy must outline the following purchases:

  • Micro-purchases - purchase of supplies or services under $10,000
  • Small Purchases - purchase of supplies or services over $10,000 but under $250,000
  • Purchases $250,000 and over

Please note: It is the Grantee’s responsibility to consult with qualified and knowledgeable legal counsel to determine any specific rules or requirement that apply to their individual circumstances.
