by a principal to timely disclose to the government, in connection with the award, performance, or closeout 

of a government contract performed by the contractor or a subcontract awarded there under, credible 

evidence of a violation of federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, or gratuity violations 

found in title 18 of the United States Code or a violation of the False Claims Act. (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733)

ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law within their organization; and timely report any 

violations of federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery or gratuity violations found in title 

18 of the United States Code or any violations of the False Claims Act. (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733). When FAR 

52.203-13 is included in the contract, contractors must provide a copy of its written code of business ethics
