Sec. 3003.203  Reporting suspected violations of the Gratuities clause.

    (a) Suspected violations shall be reported to the contracting

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 the Component legal counsel, 
whether the case warrants submission to the OIG, or other investigatory 
organization.
