This page will help you:

                        - Discover resources to help you follow the rules and avoid common mistakes

## Rules to Follow Based on Your Entity Type

There are different sets of procurement rules that apply depending on whether you are a state or a non-state entity.

First, determine whether you are a state or non-state entity.

### State Entities

Includes any U.S. state or territory as well as any state agency or instrumentality of that state or territory.

### Non-State Entities

Includes local governments, tribal governments, institutions of higher education, hospitals, houses of worship and private nonprofit organizations.  

Next, become familiar with the rules that apply to your entity type.

### State Entity

Make sure to follow applicable federal procurement regulations, and remember:
                            - Follow state procurement policies and procedures.
                            - Comply with requirements for socioeconomic affirmative steps, domestic preferences for procurement, procurement of recovered materials, and  prohibitions on expending FEMA award funds for covered telecommunications equipment or services .
                            - Include all federally required contract provisions. See the  contract provision template .

### Non-State Entity

Make sure to follow applicable federal procurement regulations, and remember:
                            - Confirm that your entity has written procurement procedures that ensure all solicitation documents include a clear description of the need for the goods or services being procured.
                            - When local, state and federal rules differ, follow the rule that allows for compliance with all applicable layers.
                            - Understand the  emergency and exigency exception  before sole-sourcing.
                            - Be aware that provisions for competition, methods of procurement, socioeconomic contracting, cost and price analyses, bonding requirements, domestic preferences, prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment or services, etc. may apply.
                            - Include all federally required contract provisions. See the  contract provision template .

When a disaster strikes, communities must often act quickly to protect life, public health or safety, and property. Learn about the exception during emergency and exigency situations.
