Definition
A "subrecipient" is defined in 2 CFR 200.93 as a non-Federal entity that receives a subaward (as defined in 2 CFR 200.92) from a pass-thru-entity to carry out part of a Federal program; but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such program. A subrecipient may also be a recipient of other Federal awards directly from a Federal awarding agency.
A "contractor" is defined in 2 CFR 200.23 as an entity that receives a contract, which according to 2 CFR 200.22 is defined as a legal instrument by which a non-Federal entity purchases property, goods, or services needed to carry out the project or program under a Federal award. This term does not include a legal instrument, even if the non-Federal entity considers it a contract, when the substance of the transaction meets the definition of a Federal award or subaward (as defined in 2 CFR 200.92).
