It does not include payments to a contractor or payments to an individual that is a beneficiary of a federal or other program. A subaward may be provided through any form of legal Agreement, including an Agreement that the pass-through entity considers a contract. Also see 2 C.F.R. Part 200 (as updated). For federal subawards, a subaward is for the purpose of carrying out a portion of a Federal award and creates a federal assistance relationship with the subrecipient (2 C.F.R. Part 200 (as updated)). If this Agreement is a federal subaward, the subaward amount is the grant program amount in the Project Funding Section. subrecipient — Subrecipient means an entity that receives a subaward.
