This regulation adopts the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines for nonprocurement debarment and suspension, customizing them for the Department of State (DOS) to manage exclusions from participating in federal transactions. It specifies who must comply with these guidelines, including participants in covered transactions, respondents in DOS actions, and DOS officials involved in nonprocurement activities, and outlines the procedures for extending these requirements to lower-tier subcontractors. Additionally, it designates the DOS Procurement Executive as the authority responsible for granting exceptions and defining key roles such as the Debarring and Suspending Officials.
