                       Subpart B--Effect of Action
 
Sec. 1229.225  Failure to adhere to restrictions.

    Except as permitted under Sec. 1229.215 or Sec. 1229.220 of these 
regulations, a participant shall not knowingly do business under a 
covered transaction with a person who is debarred or suspended, or with 
a person who is ineligible for or voluntarily excluded from that covered 
transaction. Violation of this restriction may result in disallowance of 
costs, annulment or termination of award, issuance of a stop work order, 
debarment or suspension, or other remedies, as appropriate. A 
participant may rely upon the certification of a prospective participant 
in a lower tier covered transaction that it and its principals are not 
debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the 
covered transaction (see Appendix B), unless it knows that the 
certification is erroneous. An agency has the burden of proof that such 
participant did knowingly do business with such a person.
