This regulation provides definitions for terms used across various subchapters related to Department of Defense (DoD) grants and agreements, ensuring clarity and consistency in their application. It outlines the precedence of term definitions when national policy requirements conflict with standard definitions and specifies where to find definitions for terms related to governmentwide cost principles and single audit requirements. Additionally, it details context-dependent definitions for terms like acquisition and procurement, distinguishing between actions at the prime tier by DoD components and actions at lower tiers by recipients and subrecipients.
