Partial denial of Federal contracts by a sentencing judge

Code BB
Partial denial of Federal contracts by a sentencing judge pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 on the basis of a conviction(s) for a Federal or State offense relating to the distribution or possession of controlled substances. Listed persons shall not be issued contracts or subcontracts, grants, loans, and/or professional or commercial licenses as specified by the sentencing judge which are provided by an agency of the United States or by appropriated funds of the United States. Contact the U.S. Department of Justice's Denial of Federal Benefits Project point of contact listed to determine the extent to which benefits have been denied. The denial shall terminate on the date included in the listing. Persons convicted for a third offense relating to distribution of controlled substances after the effective date of the Act shall be denied benefits permanently. Therefore, the termination date for such denials shall be listed as "Permanent" (Perm.). NOTE A denial of benefits under Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 does not include benefits relating to long-term drug treatment programs for addiction for any person who declares himself an addict, provides a reasonable body of evidence to substantiate this declaration, and submits to a long-term treatment program for addiction, or is deemed to be rehabilitated pursuant to rules established by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The denial of benefits may also be suspended on the basis of the person's participation or good faith effort to participate in a supervised rehabilitation program. Contact the U.S. Department of Justice's Denial of Federal Benefits Project point of contact listed to verify any assertions that the denial of benefits does not apply, or has been waived or suspended on this basis.
