Reading Room Document

Notices concerning convictions which are cognizable as grounds for debarment of bidders on federal contracts.

The document discusses the Federal Procurement Regulations (FPR) and the guidelines for debarment of bidders on federal contracts. It highlights the need for better communication and notification of antitrust convictions to ensure compliance with the FPR. The conclusions reached in the document emphasize the importance of establishing better liaison procedures within the Department of Justice and with other federal departments and agencies to promptly notify federal procurement officials of antitrust convictions. The questions presented for review include how to strengthen liaison within the Department of Justice and with other departments and agencies of the Executive Branch, as well as how to handle convictions that occurred prior to the date of the memorandum.
