Content of a Deviation Request Clause Samples
The 'Content of a Deviation Request' clause defines the required information and documentation that must be included when formally requesting a deviation from established procedures, specifications, or contract terms. Typically, this clause outlines the need to specify the exact nature of the deviation, the reasons for the request, and any supporting evidence or impact assessments. By standardizing the content of such requests, the clause ensures that all necessary details are provided for informed decision-making, thereby streamlining the review process and reducing misunderstandings.

a. USAID has a responsibility to notify the public of its funding priorities in assistance programs (2 CFR 200.203-204).

(1) Assistance programs that are only published through an entry on the Assistance Listing on the System for Award Management at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇ for a Development Objective; NOTE: USAID, at present, does not publish assistance programs solely through Assistance Listing entries;
(2) Awards that USAID limits to non-U.S. organizations, and which will be for less than $25,000; and
(3) Awards for which eligibility is restricted to a single source in accordance with procedures in 303.3.6.5.
