LAC 40:XVII.1501. Public and Private Agencies

A. All procurement of goods and services, including leases, with Community Services Block Grant funds in whole or part shall be done in accordance with the state of Louisiana Procurement Regulations unless other requirements are specified in these rules or the subgrantees' or federal procurement requirements are more restrictive. The procurement requirements that are the most restrictive must be followed, except that subgrantees that are part of local government shall be allowed to utilize their approved procurement regulations for audits when their audit is part of the local government audit and are exempt from the state procurement requirements for leasing of space when they are located in a facility owned by the parish government they are a part of. Further, the Department of Labor may issue reasonable modifications to the state rules when it determines that such modifications are in the best interest of the state and the CSBG Program. Specific procurement regulations shall be issued from time to time and shall be substantially in compliance with R.S. 39, Chapter 17, The Louisiana Procurement Code.
