The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will <br /> include this clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and <br /> Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transaction," without modification, in all lower tier <br /> covered 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 <br /> participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not proposed for debarment under <br /> applicable CFR, debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from covered <br /> transactions, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the <br /> method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals.

Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 5 of these instructions, if a participant in <br /> a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person <br /> who is proposed for debarment under applicable CFR, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or <br /> voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies <br /> available to the Federal Government, the department or agency with which this transaction <br /> originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment. <br /> Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-- <br /> Lower Tier Covered Transactions <br /> The prospective lower tier participant certifies, by submission of this proposal or contract, that <br /> neither it nor its principals is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared <br /> ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction by any Federal <br /> department or agency. Where the prospective lower tier participant is unable to certify to any of <br /> the statements in this certification, such prospective participant shall attach an explanation to <br /> this form. <br /> Bidder or Contractor Signature: <br /> Date: <br /> Print Name and Title: <br /> 29 <br />
