Sec. 6305. Using cooperative agreements
An executive agency shall use a cooperative agreement as the legal
instrument reflecting a relationship between the United States
Government and a State, a local government, or other recipient when--
(1) the principal purpose of the relationship is to transfer a
thing of value to the State, local government, or other recipient to
carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized by a
law of the United States instead of acquiring (by purchase, lease,
or barter) property or services for the direct benefit or use of the
United States Government; and
(2) substantial involvement is expected between the executive
agency and the State, local government, or other recipient when
carrying out the activity contemplated in the agreement.
