Do these guidelines cover persons who are disqualified, as well as those who are excluded from nonprocurement transactions?
2 C.F.R. § 180.45
in effectEffective: 2024-07-01A Federal agency may add a subpart covering disqualifications to its regulation implementing these guidelines, but the guidelines in subparts A through I of this part—
(a) Address disqualified persons only to—
(1) Provide for their inclusion in SAM Exclusions; and
(2) State responsibilities of Federal agencies and participants to check for disqualified persons before entering into covered transactions.
(b) Do not specify the—
(1) Transactions for which a disqualified person is ineligible. Those transactions vary on a case-by-case basis, because they depend on the language of the specific statute, Executive order or regulation that caused the disqualification;
(2) Entities to which a disqualification applies; or
(3) Process that a Federal agency uses to disqualify a person. Unlike exclusion under subparts A through I of this part, disqualification is frequently not a discretionary action that a Federal agency takes, and may include special procedures.
