                     Subpart B_Covered Transactions

 

Sec. 29.215  Which nonprocurement transactions are not covered 

transactions?



    The following types of nonprocurement transactions are not covered 

transactions:

    (a) A direct award to--

    (1) A foreign government or foreign governmental entity;

    (2) A public international organization;

    (3) An entity owned (in whole or in part) or controlled by a foreign 

government; or

    (4) Any other entity consisting wholly or partially of one or more 

foreign governments or foreign governmental entities.

    (b) A benefit to an individual as a personal entitlement without 

regard to the individual's present responsibility (but benefits received 

in an individual's business capacity are not excepted). For example, if 

a person receives social security benefits under the Supplemental 

Security Income provisions of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 1301 et 

seq., those benefits are not covered transactions and, therefore, are 

not affected if the person is excluded.

    (c) Federal employment.

    (d) A transaction that the Department of Transportation needs to 

respond to a national or agency-recognized emergency or disaster.

    (e) A permit, license, certificate, or similar instrument issued as 

a means to regulate public health, safety, or the environment, unless 

the Department of Transportation specifically designates it to be a 

covered transaction.

    (f) An incidental benefit that results from ordinary governmental 

operations.

    (g) Any other transaction if the application of an exclusion to the 

transaction is prohibited by law.
