This regulation outlines the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) policies and procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension, adopting and supplementing guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). It specifies who is subject to these policies, including participants in covered transactions, respondents in VA actions, and VA officials involved in nonprocurement transactions, and details the methods for communicating and enforcing these requirements across different tiers of transactions. Additionally, it defines specific roles within the VA, such as debarring and suspending officials, and introduces a process for limited denial of participation, which can be imposed by field facility directors under certain conditions related to performance and compliance in VA programs.
