Part 3017 - GOVERNMENTWIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION(NONPROCUREMENT) |
Subpart A - General |
§ 3017.145 - Does this part address persons who are disqualified, as well as those who are excluded from nonprocurement transactions?
-
Except if provided for in Subpart J of this part, this part—
(a) Addresses disqualified persons only to—
(1) Provide for their inclusion in the
EPLS; and(2) State responsibilities of Federal agencies and participants to check for disqualified persons before entering into covered transactions.
(b) Does not specify the—
(1) Department of Agriculture transactions for which a disqualified person is ineligible. Those transactions vary on a case-by-case basis, because they depend on the language of the specific statute, Executive order, or regulation that caused the disqualification;
(2) Entities to which the disqualification applies; or
(3) Process that the agency uses to disqualify a person. Unlike exclusion, disqualification is frequently not a discretionary action that a Federal agency takes.
