In general, purchases made as a DIRECT charge to a government  grant are NOT subject to sales tax.  However, purchases made as an indirect charge ARE subject to sales tax.

Do a web search for “sales tax exemption form” within your state to see if there is a downloadable form for you to provide to your vendor when placing a purchase.
