This is a certification document regarding debarment, suspension, ineligibility, and voluntary exclusion for lower tier covered transactions, as defined by 45 CFR Part 76. The document serves as a prerequisite certification that prospective lower tier participants must complete and submit with their proposals. By signing and submitting this certification, the prospective participant confirms to the best of its knowledge and belief that neither it nor its principals are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in federal transactions by any federal department or agency.

If a prospective lower tier participant is unable to certify compliance with the above conditions, the participant must attach a detailed explanation to its proposal. The prospective lower tier participant further agrees that upon submission of this certification, it will include this clause in all subsequent lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions without modifications. An authorized signature is required to validate the certification.
