Abstract: This clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements: a. FAR 52.209-1, Qualification Requirements. Contracting officers use the collected information to ensure that an offeror, manufacturer, source, product or service covered by a qualification requirement meets the standards specified in the solicitation or contract. b. FAR 52.209-2, 52.209-10, and 52.212-3(n), Prohibition on Contracting with Inverted Domestic Corporations. Contracting officers use the collected information in the source selection process, in evaluating an offeror’s responsibility for contract award. When an offeror provides an affirmative response to the representation in FAR provisions 52.209-2 or 52.212-3(n), the contracting officer is prohibited from making an award to that offeror unless an exception at FAR 9.108-2(b) applies or the requirement is waived in accordance with the procedures at FAR 9.108-4. The information provided by contractors under FAR clause 52.209-10 is used to determine if the Government is prohibited from paying the contractor for activities performed after the date when it becomes an inverted domestic corporation or subsidiary. c. FAR 52.209-5, 52.209-6, and 52.212-3(h), Debarment, Suspension, and other Responsibility Matters. Contracting officers use the collected information to determine an offeror’s responsibility for contract award. When an offeror provides an affirmative response to the certification in FAR provisions 52.209-5 or 52.212-3(h), the contracting officer is required to request additional information from the offeror and notify, prior to proceeding with award, the agency official responsible for initiating debarment or suspension action. Prime contractors use the collected information under paragraph (c) of the FAR clause at 52.209-6 to determine a subcontractor’s responsibility. d. FAR 52.209-7 and 52.209-9, Information Regarding Responsibility Matters and Updates to that Publicly Available Information. Contracting officers use the collected information to determine an offeror’s responsibility for contract award. When an offeror provides an affirmative response to the certification in FAR provision 52.209-7, the contracting officer is required to request additional information from the offeror and notify, prior to proceeding with award, the agency official responsible for initiating debarment or suspension action. Contracting officers use the collected information under FAR clause 52.209-9 in determining contractor’s responsibility when they are an offeror for subsequent procurements. e. FAR 52.209-11, 52.209-12, and 52.212-3(q), Prohibition on Contracting With Corporations with Delinquent Taxes or a Felony Conviction. Contracting officers use the collected information to determine an offeror’s responsibility for contract award. When an offeror provides an affirmative response to the representation in FAR provision 52.209-11 or 52.212-3(q), the contracting officer is required to request additional information from the offeror and notify the agency official responsible for initiating debarment or suspension action. f. FAR 52.209-13, Violations of Arms Control Treaties or Agreements with the United States.
