Federal Regulations for Equipment Purchases

***On October 1, 2024, The Federal Regulations under 2 CFR 200 increased the capitalization threshold for the definition of equipment from a purchase value of $5,000 to $10,000. The University of Washington has not implemented the higher equipment value threshold at this time and the current threshold remains $5,000. 

A University-wide announcement will occur when the threshold is increased to $10,000. Until that time, the University will continue to use the $5,000 threshold.

 

Purchase of equipment on federal Awards requires written approval from federal sponsors, unless otherwise allowed in the sponsor Terms & Conditions or waived in the Award.
