The nonprocurement debarment and suspension rule is applicable to all primary and lower tier transactions. The grounds for debarment and suspension focus on the commission of fraud or wrongdoing, whether against a Federal agency, State or individual. It is the act of wrongdoing, and not the program or victim, that is relevant. Further, mere technical cause for debarment does not require an agency to debar. Additionally, adequate evidence to suspect the commission of an offense is sufficient grounds for initiating suspension action.
Indictment is considered adequate evidence for purposes of suspension actions.
