FEMA provides PA funding for contract costs based on the terms of the contract if an applicant meets federal procurement and contracting requirements. The Applicant has not provided information demonstrating it complied with federal procurement and contracting requirements. To be eligible, costs must be directly tied to the performance of eligible work, adequately documented, and necessary and reasonable to accomplish the work properly and efficiently. The Applicant did not provide documentation to substantiate that the claimed contract costs are directly tied to eligible work and reasonable.

FEMA finds the Applicant did not demonstrate that it complied with federal procurement and contracting requirements and has not substantiated that the claimed costs are reasonable. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
