The University has several policies that address Procurement Standards that provide important guidance in the way that procurement activities are conducted. 

The University’s procurement policies are intended to be consistent with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP), Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards Found at 2 CFR 200, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). University departments will ensure that each transaction is classified or defined as an allowable expenditure using the appropriate spend category in the Workday Financials System. For sponsored programs, certain purchases may be unallowable.

Brown University implemented the Uniform Guidance Procurement Rules detailed in 2 CFR 200.317 - 200.326 as of July 1, 2018.
