Sec. 17.225  Failure to adhere to restrictions.



    (a) Except as permitted under Sec. 17.215 or Sec. 17.220, a 

participant shall not knowingly do business under a covered transaction 

with a person who is--

    (1) Debarred or suspended;

    (2) Proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4; or

    (3) Ineligible for or voluntarily excluded from the covered 

transaction.

    (b) Violation of the restriction under paragraph (a) of this section 

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.

    (c) 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, proposed for debarment under 48 

CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the 

covered transaction (See Appendix B of these regulations), unless it 

knows that the certification is erroneous. An agency has the burden of 

proof that a participant did knowingly do business with a person that 

filed an erroneous certification.
