What happens if an applicant doesn't follow the procurement rules?

If an applicant fails to comply with any term of an award (including the contracting requirements discussed in this Fact Sheet), whether stated in a Federal statute or regulation, an assurance, in a State plan or application, a notice of award, or elsewhere, FEMA may:

• Temporarily withhold payment, or take more severe enforcement action;

• Disallow all or part of the cost of the activity or action not incompliance;

• Wholly or partly suspend or terminate the applicant's current award;

• Withhold further awards; or

• Take other remedies that may be legally available.
