                            Subpart A_General

 

Sec. 620.145  Does this part address persons who are disqualified, as 

well as those who are excluded from nonprocurement transactions?



    Except if provided for in Subpart J of this part, this part--

    (a) Addresses disqualified persons only to--

    (1) Provide for their inclusion in the EPLS; and

    (2) State responsibilities of Federal agencies and participants to 

check for disqualified persons before entering into covered 

transactions.

    (b) Does not specify the--

    (1) National Science Foundation transactions for which a 

disqualified person is ineligible. Those transactions vary on a case-by-

case basis, because they depend on the language of the specific statute, 

Executive order, or regulation that caused the disqualification;

    (2) Entities to which the disqualification applies; or

    (3) Process that the agency uses to disqualify a person. Unlike 

exclusion, disqualification is frequently not a discretionary action 

that a Federal agency takes.
