Proposed FAR Rule Bars New Orders to Debarred, Suspended Contractors
In a move to make civilian agencies consistent with the Defense Department, the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council proposed changes to FAR 9.405 that would prohibit agencies from placing orders against existing contracts with contractors that have been suspended, debarred or are facing debarment unless there is a “compelling reason” for doing so. Agencies shall not (1) place orders expanding the guaranteed minimum under ID/IQ contracts (2) place orders against optimal use Federal Supply Schedule contracts or (3) add new work, exercise options or otherwise extend the duration of current contracts or orders (Fed. Reg. 67,281).
