<br />D. The terms covered transaction, debarred, suspended, ineligible, lower tier covered transaction, participant, person,
<br />primary covered transaction, principal, proposal, and voluntarily excluded, as used in this clause, have the meanings
<br />set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of the rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You may contact
<br />the person to whom this contract is submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations.
<br />E. The prospective contractor agrees by submitting this contract that, should the proposed covered transaction be
<br />entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred,
<br />suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in thi s covered transaction, unless
<br />authorized by DOH.
<br />F. The prospective contractor further agrees by submitting this contract that it will include the clause titled
<br />Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion -- Lower Tier Covered
<br />Transaction, provided by HHS, without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations
<br />for lower tier covered transactions.
<br />G. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective particip ant in a lower tier
<br />covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered
<br />transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency
<br />by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to, check the
<br />Nonprocurement List (of excluded parties).
<br />H. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to
<br />render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not
<br />required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
<br />I. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph F. of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction
<br />knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or
<br />voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal
<br />Government, DOH may terminate this transaction for cause or default.
