WEMS <br />rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the federal government, the <br />department or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including <br />suspension and/or debarment. <br />33.3. The lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the WTSC if at any time the <br />lower tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous <br />by reason of changed circumstances. <br />33.4. The terms covered transaction, civil judgement, debarment, suspension, ineligible, participant, <br />person, principal, and voluntarily excluded, as used in this clause, are defined in 2 CFR parts 180 and <br />1200. <br />33.5. The lower tier participant agrees by signing this Agreement that it shall not knowingly enter into any <br />lower tier covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart <br />9.4, debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered <br />transaction, unless authorized by WTSC. <br />33.6. The lower tier participant further agrees by signing this Agreement that it will include the clause <br />titled "Instructions for Lower Tier Certification" including the "Certification Regarding Debarment, <br />Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion - Lower Tier Covered Transaction," without modification, <br />in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions, and will <br />require lower tier participants to comply with 2 CFR part 180 and 23 CFR part 1200. <br />33.7. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a <br />lower tier covered transaction that it is not proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, <br />debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that <br />the certification is erroneous. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals are not <br />suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. To verify the eligibility <br />of its principals, as well as the eligibility of any prospective lower tier participants, each participant may, <br />but is not required to, check the System for Award Management Exclusions website <br />(https://www.sam.gov/). <br />33.8. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of <br />records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and <br />information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent <br />person in the ordinary course of business dealings. <br />33.9. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 33.5. of these instructions, if a participant in a <br />covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is proposed <br />for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded <br />from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal government, <br />the department or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including <br />suspension or debarment. <br />Page 14 of 20 <br />
