Q-U71. Can a sponsor be reimbursed for sponsor-furnished proprietary equipment and materials (i.e., baggage handling system equipment or steel for a terminal project) that were procured separately for a non-federally funded project?

FAA will only reimburse sponsors for eligible project related costs incurred on or after November 15, 2021, which is the date of enactment of IIJA. See Q-U24. Sponsor furnished materials and equipment must be purchased (cost incurred) after IIJA was enacted and follow federal contract provisions, including 2 CFR 200, to be eligible for reimbursement, installation, inspection, and testing. In addition, Buy American and Buy America, Build America must be followed for the costs of the equipment and/or materials to be eligible for reimbursement. See Q-U24 for reimbursement requirements for the FY 2023 and future ATP, FCT Competitive, and other IIJA related NOFOs.
