Sec. 3003.203  Reporting suspected violations of the Gratuities clause.





    (a) Suspected violations of the Gratuities clause shall be reported 

to the contracting officer responsible for the acquisition (or the COCO 

if the contracting officer is suspected of the violation). The 

contracting officer (or the COCO) shall obtain from the person reporting 

the violation, and any witnesses to the violation, the following 

information:

    (1) The date, time, and place of the suspected violation;

    (2) The name and title (if known) of the individual(s) involved in 

the violation; and

    (3) The details of the violation (e.g., the gratuity offered or 

intended) to obtain a contract or favorable treatment under a contract.

    (4) The person reporting the violation and witnesses (if any) shall 

be requested to sign and date the information certifying that the 

information furnished is true and correct.

    (b) The contracting officer shall submit the report to the COCO 

(unless the alleged violation was directly reported to the COCO) and the 

Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) for further action. The COCO and 

HCA will determine, with the advice of OE legal counsel, whether the 

case warrants submission to the OIG, or other investigatory 

organization.
