If a school needs to purchase a contract to a single vendor beyond $25,000, allocate the first $25,000 under Commitment Item # 580030 at Budget Item # 50002. The amount beyond $25,000 needs to be allocated under Commitment Item # 510010 at Budget Item # 50255. Essentially, up to $25,000 in a contract expenditure will be subject to indirect cost rate calculation and any amount beyond that is considered a subagreement and will be exempt from such (California School Accounting Manual, 2019 Edition, Procedure 915). In addition, there will be a review process for contracts purchased with Title I funds. The review process will require schools to upload the required Title I documentation in the Shopping Cart. Note: Contracted personnel may not perform the duties of any classified, unclassified, or certificated employee. Questions should be referred to the Contract Administration Branch at (213) 241-3039.
