Scenario #3: A state fish and wildlife agency receives a Sport Fish Restoration grant to compare growth, mortality, and recruitment of northern-strain vs Florida-strain largemouth bass in Lake Bobber. The state fish and wildlife agency will use its internal research biologist staff to conduct the research. However, they do not have the equipment and expertise to run the genetic samples from all largemouth bass collected. They enter into a relationship with a university that will perform the genetic testing of samples to determine which largemouth bass are northern-strain vs Florida-strain. Once completed, the university will provide the results back to the state fish and wildlife agency staff who will in turn then perform the data analysis and develop the final report. Under this scenario, the state fish and wildlife agency acts as the non-Federal entity and the university acts as a contractor. A contractor determination is appropriate because the university is (1) providing goods or services within normal business operations; (2) providing similar goods and services to many different purchasers; (3) providing goods or services that are ancillary to the operation of the Federal program; and (4) not subject to compliance.
