Uniform Guidance defines a subrecipient as a nonfederal entity that receives a subaward from apassthrough entity to carry out part of a federal program but does not include an individual who isa beneficiary of such program or payments to a contractor. A contractor is an entity that receives acontract by which a nonfederal entity purchases property or services needed to carry out theproject or program under a federal award. A nonfederal entity may concurrently receive federalfunds as a recipient, subrecipient, and contractor, depending on the substance of its agreementswith federal awarding agencies and passthrough entities. Therefore, St. Jude must make caseby case determinations whether each agreement it makes for the disbursement of federal programfunds casts the party receiving the funds as a subrecipient or a contractor based on the UniformGuidance definitions and managements judgement.
