Sec. 29.110  What is the purpose of the nonprocurement debarment and 

suspension system?



    (a) To protect the public interest, the Federal Government ensures 

the integrity of Federal programs by conducting business only with 

responsible persons.

    (b) A Federal agency uses the nonprocurement debarment and 

suspension system to exclude from Federal programs persons who are not 

presently responsible.

    (c) An exclusion is a serious action that a Federal agency may take 

only to protect the public interest. A Federal agency may not exclude a 

person or commodity for the purposes of punishment.
