In connection with transactions subject to federal suspension and debarment requirements, the district is prohibited from entering into transactions with parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in federal assistance programs or activities.
When soliciting bids or otherwise preparing to enter into such a transaction, the superintendent [or designee] will use at least one of the following verification methods to ensure that any parties to the transaction are not suspended or debarred prior to committing to any sub-award, purchase, or contract.

A non-federal entity or applicant for a federal award must disclose, in a timely manner, in writing to the federal awarding agency or pass-through entity all violations of federal criminal law involving fraud, bribery, or gratuity violations potentially affecting the federal award.

(See also 2 CFR Part 180, 31 U.S.C. 3321, and 41 U.S.C. 2313). It is the responsibility of the superintendent to timely report to the relevant federal or pass-through agency any violations of federal criminal law involving fraud, bribery, or gratuity potentially impacting a federal grant.
