Board Meeting
Agenda Item
MEETING DATE: February 5, 2024
TO: HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
SUBJECT: Resolution to Increase Micro-Purchase Threshold
REQUESTED BY: Administration
REQUEST:
In 2020, the federal Office of Management and Budget revised the Uniform Guidance to
allow non-Federal entities to raise the threshold for micro-purchases. This resolution
will raise the County's micro-purchase threshold from $10,000 to $30,000 for the
purchase of "apparatus, supplies, materials, or equipment," and "construction or
repair work" and $50,000 for the procurement of other services. One year ago, the
Board approved this resolution, which has relieved some of the administrative burden
associated with grant funding. The Resolution is only effective for one year so annual
re-certification is required.

A RESOLUTION
BY THE HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
AUTHORIZING AN INCREASE IN
THE MICRO-PURCHASE THRESHOLD
WHEREAS, from time to time, the County of Harnett (the “County”) purchases goods and services using federal
funding subject to the procurement standards in 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart D; and
WHEREAS, the County’s procurement of such goods and services is subject to the County of Harnett’s
Purchasing Policy & Procedures, as most recently amended on January 1, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the County is a non-Federal entity under the definition set forth in 2 C.F.R. § 200.1; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to 2 C.F.R. 200.320(a)(1)(ii), a non-Federal entity may award micro-purchases without
soliciting competitive price or rate quotations if the non-Federal entity considers the price to be reasonable based on
research, experience, purchase history or other information and documents that the non-Federal entity files
accordingly; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to 2 C.F.R. 200.320(a)(1)(iii), a non-Federal entity is responsible for determining and
documenting an appropriate micro-purchase threshold based on internal controls, an evaluation of risk, and its
documented procurement procedures; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.320(a)(1)(iv), a non-Federal entity may self-certify on an annual basis a
micro-purchase threshold not to exceed $50,000 and maintain documentation to be made available to a Federal
awarding agency and auditors in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.334; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.320(a)(1)(iv), such self-certification must include (1) a justification for
the threshold, (2) a clear identification of the threshold, and (3) supporting documentation, which, for public
institutions, may be a “higher threshold consistent with State law”; and
WHEREAS, G.S. 143-129(a) and G.S. 143-131(a) require the County to conduct a competitive bidding process
for the purchase of (1) “apparatus, supplies, materials, or equipment” where the cost of such purchase is equal to or
greater than $30,000, and (2) “construction or repair work” where the cost of such purchase is greater than or equal
to $30,000; and
WHEREAS, North Carolina law does not require a unit of local government to competitively bid for purchase
of services other than services subject to the qualifications-based selection process set forth in Article 3D of Chapter
143 of the North Carolina General Statutes (the “Mini-Brooks Act”); and
WHEREAS, G.S. 143-64.32 permits units of local government to exercise, in writing, an exemption to the
qualifications-based selection process for services subject to the Mini-Brooks Act for particular projects where the
aggregate cost of such services do not exceed $50,000; and
HCBOC 013024 ws Pg. 14
WHEREAS, pursuant to 2 C.F.R. 200.320(a)(1)(iv), the Board of the County now desires to adopt higher micro-
purchase thresholds than those identified in 48 C.F.R. § 2.101.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF THE COUNTY:
1. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.320(a)(1)(iv) and the applicable provisions of North Carolina law, the
County hereby self-certifies the following micro-purchase thresholds, each of which is a “higher threshold consistent
with State law” under 2 C.F.R. § 200.320(a)(1)(iv)(C) for the reasons set forth in the recitals to this resolution:
A. $30,000, for the purchase of “apparatus, supplies, materials, or equipment”; and
B. $30,000, for the purchase of “construction or repair work”; and
C. $50,000, for the purchase of services not subject to competitive bidding under North Carolina
law; and
D. $50,000, for the purchase of services subject to the qualifications-based selection process in
the Mini-Brooks Act; provided that such threshold shall apply to a contract only if the County has exercised an
exemption to the Mini-Brooks Act, in writing, for a particular project pursuant to G.S. 143-64.32. If the exemption is
not authorized, the micro-purchase threshold shall be $0.
2. The self-certification made herein shall be effective as of the date hereof and shall be applicable until
the 30th day of June, 2023, but shall not be applicable to Federal financial assistance awards issued prior to November
12, 2020, including financial assistance awards issued prior to that date under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Support (CARES) Act of 2020 (Pub. L. 116-136).
3. In the event that the County receives funding from a federal grantor agency that adopts a threshold
more restrictive than those contained herein, the County shall comply with the more restrictive threshold when
expending such funds.
4. The County shall maintain documentation to be made available to a Federal awarding agency, any pass-
through entity, and auditors in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.334.
5. The County Manager of the County is hereby authorized, individually and collectively, to revise the
Purchasing Policy of the County to reflect the increased micro-purchase thresholds specified herein, and to take all
such actions, individually and collectively, to carry into effect the purpose and intent of the foregoing resolution.
