    The HCA shall review the report and consult with the Offices of 

General Counsel and Inspector General to determine whether further

affords the contractor the opportunity to make a written or oral 

response within a reasonable, specified period after receipt of the 

notice. The notice shall be sent by certified mail with return receipt 

requested. Oral presentations shall follow the procedures outlined in 

FAR 3.204(b). The HCA shall furnish copies of any adverse determination 

to the contracting officer and the Department Debarring Officer for 

their subsequent considerations under FAR 3.204(c)(1) and (2),
