<br />transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency with which this transaction originated.
<br />0_ The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will include
<br />the clause titled "Instructions for Lower Tier Participant Certification" including the "Certification
<br />Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion - Lower Tier Covered

<br />lower tier covered transactions and will require lower tier participants to comply with 2 CFR parts

<br />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
<br />9.4, debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it
<br />knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals
<br />are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. To verify
<br />the eligibility of its principals, as well as the eligibility of any prospective lower tier participants, each
<br />participant may, but is not required to, check the System for Award Management Exclusions website
<br />(https://www.sam.gov/).
<br />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 />9. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 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
<br />proposed for debarment under 48 CFR Part 9, subpart 9.4, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or
<br />voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to
<br />the Federal government, the department or agency with which this transaction originated may
<br />pursue available remedies, including suspension or debarment.
