Debarment for a criminal conviction

Debarment for a criminal conviction under Sections 274 or 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 USC 1324 or 1324a). Contractors are excluded from receiving contracts and from directly or indirectly receiving benefits under Federal nonprocurement programs, and agencies shall not solicit offers from, award contracts to renew or otherwise extend the duration of current contracts, or consent to subcontracts with these contractors, unless the acquiring agency’s head or a designee determines that there is a compelling reason for such action. Government prime contractors, when required by the terms of their contract, shall not enter into any subcontract equal to or in excess of $30,000 with a contractor that is debarred, suspended, or proposed for debarment, unless there is a compelling reason to do so. Exceptions to this treatment require a written determination by the head of the Federal agency or designee stating the reasons for entering into the transaction. Debarments are for a specified term as determined by the debarring agency and as indicated in the listing.
