PART 2109 - CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS       Authority:                            5 U.S.C. 8716; 40 U.S.C. 486(c); 48 CFR 1.301.          Source:                            58 FR 40374, July 28, 1993, unless otherwise noted.                                       Subpart 2109.4 - Debarment, Suspension, and Ineligibility                                                         2109.408 Certification regarding debarment, suspension, proposed debarment and other responsibility matters.                                                            2109.409 Certification and contract clause.                                                                             Subpart 2109.70 - Minimum Standards for FEGLI Program Contractors                                                         2109.7001 Minimum standards for FEGLI Program contractors.    **Parent topic:**  SUBCHAPTER B - ACQUISITION PLANNINGSubpart 2109.4 - Debarment, Suspension, and Ineligibility    2109.408 Certification regarding debarment, suspension, proposed debarment and other responsibility matters.       FAR subpart 9.4 is implemented by changing the FAR offeror's certification at FAR 52.209-5 (which is part of a solicitation) to a pre-contract certificate and a contract clause. These provisions reflect the FEGLI Program's statutory exemption from competitive bidding (5 U.S.C. 8709), which obviates the issuance of solicitations.2109.409 Certification and contract clause.       (a) The contracting officer may require the precontract certificate in 2152.209-70 to be filed prior to or during negotiations.          (b) The contracting officer shall insert the clause at 2152.209-71 in all FEGLI Program contracts.Subpart 2109.70 - Minimum Standards for FEGLI Program Contractors    2109.7001 Minimum standards for FEGLI Program contractors.       (a) The Contractor must meet the requirements of chapter 87 of title 5, United States Code; part 870 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations; chapter 1 of title 48, Code of Federal Regulations; and the standards in this subpart. The Contractor must continue to meet these and the following statutory and regulatory requirements while under contract with OPM. Failure to meet these requirements and standards is cause for OPM's termination of the contract in accordance with part 2149 of this chapter.          (b) The contractor must actually be engaged in the life insurance business and must be licensed to transact life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance under the laws of all the States and the District of Columbia at the time of application.          (c) The contractor must not be a Federal, State, local or territorial government entity.          (d) The contractor must not be debarred, suspended or ineligible to participate in Government contracting or subcontracting for any reason.          (e) The contractor must keep statistical and financial records regarding the FEGLI Program separate from that of all its other lines of business.          (f) The Contractor agrees to enter into annual premium rate redeterminations with OPM.          (g) The Contractor must furnish such reasonable reports as OPM determines are necessary to administer the FEGLI Program. The cost of preparation of such reports will be considered an allowable expense within the administrative expense ceiling defined in section 2152.231-70 of this chapter.          (h) The contractor must establish and maintain a system of internal control that provides reasonable assurance that:          (1) The payment of claims and other expenses is in compliance with legal, regulatory, and contractual guidelines;          (2) Funds, property, and other FEGLI Program assets are safeguarded against waste, loss, unauthorized use, or misappropriation;          (3) Revenues and expenditures applicable to FEGLI Program operations are properly recorded and accounted for to permit the preparation of reliable financial reporting and to maintain accountability over assets; and,          (4) Data are accurately and fairly disclosed in all reports required by OPM.          (i) The contractor must permit representatives of OPM and of the General Accounting Office to audit and examine records and accounts pertaining to the FEGLI Program at such reasonable times and places as may be designated by OPM or the General Accounting Office.
