    The purposes of this chapter are to--
        (1) promote a better understanding of United States Government 
    expenditures and help eliminate unnecessary administrative 
    requirements on recipients of Government awards by characterizing 
    the relationship between executive agencies and contractors, States, 
    local governments, and other recipients in acquiring property and 
    services and in providing United States Government assistance;
        (2) prescribe criteria for executive agencies in selecting 
    appropriate legal instruments to achieve--
            (A) uniformity in their use by executive agencies;
            (B) a clear definition of the relationships they reflect; 
        and
            (C) a better understanding of the responsibilities of the 
        parties to them; and

        (3) promote increased discipline in selecting and using 
    procurement contracts, grant agreements, and cooperative agreements, 
    maximize competition in making procurement contracts, and encourage 
    competition in making grants and cooperative agreements.
