This document is a Deviation (2012-00004) addressing prohibitions against contracting with corporations that have unpaid delinquent tax liability or felony convictions under federal law. The deviation, issued in January 2012, stipulates that funds from the Consolidated Appropriations Act cannot be used to enter into contracts with corporations that: (1) have unresolved federal tax liabilities where all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted, or (2) have been convicted of a felony criminal violation under federal law within the preceding 24 months. The document requires corporations to represent their status regarding these two specific conditions, with potential suspension or debarment possible if the awarding agency determines such action is necessary to protect government interests.
