1 . By signing and submitting this certification with the proposal, the prospective lower tier participant is providing the certification
set out below.
2. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was
entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in
addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the Department may pursue available remedies, including
suspension and/or debarment.
3. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the person to which this proposal is submitted. If
at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become
erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
4. The terms 'covered transaction', 'debarred', 'suspended', 'ineligible', 'lower tier covered transaction','participant', 'person', primary
covered transaction', 'principal', 'proposal', and 'voluntarily excluded', as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the
Definitions and Coverage sections of the rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You may contact the person to which this
proposal is being submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations.
5. The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the proposed covered transaction be
entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared
ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the Department or agency with
