BILLING CODE 6015–01–P OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Debarment, Suspension, and Ineligibility of Contractors The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is providing notice of its intent to adopt the policies and procedures contained in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) regarding the debarment, suspension, and ineligibility of government contractors. As an executive agency, OPM follows the FAR as appropriate and applicable. As OPM’s procurement rules are not contained in the Code of Federal Regulations, these new rules will be contained in an internal OPM document referred to as ‘‘Contracting Policy No. 9.4: OPM Suspension and Debarment Program’’ (hereinafter, OPM’s contracting policy). As such, the proposed policy regarding debarment and suspension will be added to OPM’s contracting policies. However, persons or entities seeking Government contracts could potentially be adversely affected if, pursuant to the proposed policy, they were debarred, suspended, or proposed for debarment by OPM. As such, OPM is providing interested persons an opportunity for notice and comment on this proposed policy. DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 25, 2013. OPM will publish the effective date of the proposed policy when responding to comments in a future notice. ADDRESSES: Address all comments concerning this proposed policy to: U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Contracting; Attention: Contracting Policy, 1900 E Street NW., Washington, DC 20415; or email patricia.broome@opm.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia W. Broome, Director, Contracting Policy, 202–606–2952. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OPM is required by law to seek comments before issuing a policy that has general applicability and legal effect.

Jkt 229001 PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 invites interested persons to comment on this proposed policy by submitting written comments. OPM will consider all comments received on or before the closing date for comments and may change the proposed policy based on the comments received. Under OPM’s proposed policy, OPM will follow FAR Subpart 9.4. OPM’s Contracting Policy 9.4 states that it is OPM’s policy to follow the FAR, and OPM has long-maintained procedures, consistent with FAR Subpart 9.4, that ensure that it contracts only with those entities and individuals (hereinafter, contractors) who are responsible. To make clear that FAR Subpart 9.4 applies, OPM has developed its Contracting Policy to formally and explicitly adopt FAR Subpart 9.4. Except as provided in FAR Subpart 9.4, OPM will not solicit offers from, award contracts to, or consent to subcontracts with contractors who are listed on the Excluded Parties List System on the System for Award Management (SAM/EPLS), which is maintained by the General Services Administration. Further, if OPM debars, proposes for debarment, or suspends a contractor, OPM will, consistent with FAR Subpart 9.4, list that contractor in the SAM/EPLS. Consistent with FAR 9.405–1, OPM may continue an existing contract with a contractor despite the fact that the contractor has subsequently been debarred, proposed for debarment, or suspended if it is determined in the best interest of the Government to do so. Consistent with the definitions of ‘‘debarring official’’ and ‘‘suspending official’’ contained at FAR 9.403, the Director, as the head of OPM, will serve as the debarring official and suspending official (hereinafter, debarment/ suspension official). The Director may designate another OPM official to serve as the debarment/suspension official. The Director or other designated Debarment Official will also be responsible for deciding whether to solicit offers from, award contracts to, or consent to subcontracts with contractors who have been debarred, suspended, or proposed for debarment, and whether to terminate a current contract or subcontract in existence at the time the contractor was debarred, suspended, or proposed for debarment. OPM’s Contracting Policy Office (CPO), which is responsible for the majority of OPM’s contracting activities, will be designated as the OPM unit with primary responsibility for investigating and referring potential debarment and suspension actions to the debarment/ suspension official for his or her consideration. OPM’s procurement activities are largely centralized in CPO, E:\FR\FM\21FEN1.SGM 21FEN1
