The purpose of the document is to clarify the financial constraints on certain professional services in the context of federal and local Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and grants. By defining included and excluded services, the document aids government agencies and contractors in budget planning and compliance, ensuring transparency and clarity in procurement processes. This comprehensive classification reflects a structured approach to managing project costs and aligns with established regulations in government contracting.
