Debarment Procedures

Debarment procedures are formal processes used by government agencies to restrict companies or individuals from participating in federal contracts or programs due to misconduct, such as fraud, dishonesty, or failure to meet requirements. The process typically involves issuing notices, allowing the accused to respond, and providing an opportunity for appeal. The goal is to protect the integrity of government programs while ensuring fair treatment. Once debarred, the entity is temporarily or permanently prevented from engaging in new federal business, maintaining accountability and promoting integrity in government contracting.
