Name check review. All non-profit

a name check review process. Name

checks are intended to reveal if any key

individuals associated with the

recipient have been convicted of, or are

presently facing, criminal charges such

as fraud, theft, perjury, or other matters

that significantly reflect on the

recipient’s management, honesty, or

financial integrity.

False Statements. A false statement on

the application is grounds for denial or

termination of funds and grounds for

possible punishment by a fine or

imprisonment (18 U.S.C. 1001).

4. Past Performance. Unsatisfactory

performance under prior Federal awards

may result in an application not being

5. Delinquent Federal Debts. No

award of Federal funds shall be made to

an applicant who has an outstanding

delinquent Federal debt until either:

a. The delinquent account is paid in

full;

b. A negotiated repayment schedule is

established and at least one payment is

received; or

c. Other arrangements satisfactory to

DOC are made.

6. Buy American-Made Equipment or

Products. Applicants are hereby notified

that they are encouraged, to the extent

feasible, to purchase American-made

equipment and products with funding

under this program.

7. Preaward Activities. If applicants

incur any costs prior to an award being

made, they do so solely at their own risk

of not being reimbursed by the

Government. Notwithstanding any

verbal or written assurance that may

have been received, there is no

obligation on the part of DOC to cover

Preaward costs.

assistance for this program will also
