If the other organization:
- Has performance measured against whether the objectives of the program are met
- Has responsibility for programmatic decision-making

If the other organization:
- Provides goods and services within normal business operations
- Provides similar goods or services to many different purchasers
- Operates in a competitive environment
then the other organization is considered a vendor, and SPAdmin will not generate a subaward agreement for the other institution. Finance and Business Services negotiates vendor agreements. See the side-bar at right for more information on vendor agreements.
