Title: Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) and Governmentwide Requirements for Drug-Free Workplace (Grants) 29 CFR 98
Abstract: This document proposed substantive changes and amendments to the Governmentwide nonprocurement common rule for debarment and suspension and the Governmentwide rule implementing the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988. The most significant changes are: (1) This proposed common rule on debarment and suspension would limit the mandatory lower tier application of an exclusion to the first procurement level under a nonprocurement covered transaction; (2) This proposed common rule on debarment and suspension would set the dollar threshold on prohibited lower-tier procurement transactions with excluded persons at $25,000; (3) Both this proposed rule on debarment and suspension and the proposed rule on drug-free workplace requirements would eliminate the mandate for agencies and participants to obtain written certifications from awardees or persons with whom they propose to enter into covered transactions. The proposed rules will allow agencies and participants the flexibility to use other means if they so choose, such as award conditions or electronic access to the GSA List on the Internet, to enforce compliance with the rules; and (4) The proposed rule on drug-free workplace requirements would be separated from this proposed rule on debarment and suspension. The drug-free workplace requirements currently are in subpart F of the debarment and suspension nonprocurement common rule.
