22VAC30-60-300. Contract awards to Area Agencies on Aging.
The Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services is authorized under § 51.5-135 of the Code of Virginia to award grants or contracts, or a combination of both, to a designated Area Agency on Aging to administer programs under an approved area plan. The Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services has determined that the contracts mechanism is the appropriate vehicle for making awards to Area Agencies on Aging in furtherance of its purpose under its approved area plan. Even though the procuring mechanism is called a contract, for purposes of interpreting federal regulations, the provisions for grants and grantees shall apply to an Area Agency on Aging rather than the provisions for contracts.
