By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective lower tier participant is providing the <br /> certification set out below. <br /> 2. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed <br /> when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier <br /> participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to <br /> the Federal Government, the department or agency with which this transaction originated may <br /> pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment. <br /> 3. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the person to which <br /> this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its <br /> certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed <br /> circumstances. <br /> 4. The terms"covered transaction,""debarred," "suspended,""ineligible,""lower tier covered <br /> transaction," "participant,""person,""primary covered transaction,""principal,""proposal,"and <br /> "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and <br /> Coverage sections of rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You may contact the person to <br /> which this proposal is submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations. <br /> 5. The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the proposed <br /> covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered <br /> transaction with a person which is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded <br /> from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency with <br /> which this transaction originated. <br /> 6. The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will include <br /> the clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment Suspension, Ineligibility, and Voluntary <br /> Exclusion -- Lower Tier Covered Transactions,"without modification, in all lower tier covered <br /> transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions. <br /> 7. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a <br /> lower tier covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded <br /> from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may <br /> decide the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Each <br /> participant may, but is not required to, check the Non-procurement List. <br /> 8. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of <br /> records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and <br /> information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent <br /> person in the ordinary course of business dealings. <br /> 9. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 5 of these instructions, if a participant in a <br /> covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person which is <br /> suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntary excluded from participation in this transaction, in <br /> addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency with <br /> which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or <br /> debarment. <br /> 86 <br />
