Prohibition on Contracting with Delinquent Taxpayers and Felons | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

Last December, the FAR Councils published an interim rule that prohibits the Federal Government from entering into a contract with any corporation having a delinquent Federal tax liability or a felony conviction under any Federal law, unless the agency has considered suspension or debarment of the corporation and has made a determination that this further action is not necessary to protect the interests of the Government. This prohibition was required to implement sections of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015.
