As part of the President’s Campaign to cut Fraud, Waste, and Abuse, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) has directed agencies to “ensure they are fully equipped to suspend and debar contractors and other recipients whenever necessary to protect the government’s interest.” The Administration believes that effective suspension and debarment programs play an important role in protecting taxpayer money. By using suspension and debarment procedures effectively, agencies can ensure that contractors who lack business integrity and honesty do not receive any portion of the public fisc. However, the Administration does not believe agencies are currently taking full advantage of these essential tools.
