Summary

This regulation provides guidelines for Federal agencies on implementing a government-wide debarment and suspension system for nonprocurement programs, ensuring that only responsible persons participate in Federal transactions. It outlines the responsibilities of both participants and Federal officials in verifying eligibility and managing exclusions, which are recorded in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) to maintain a consolidated list of excluded or disqualified individuals and entities. The guidelines also detail the processes for suspension and debarment actions, including the causes, procedures, and potential remedies, aiming to protect public interest by excluding those not presently responsible from Federal programs.
