This contract is subject to the federal requirements of Subpart C of 2 CFR Part 180 and Part 1532 regarding Debarment and Suspension. Bidder shall comply with the assurances provided with the bid that leads to a contract.

Recipients of federal grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and loans are prohibited by 31 U.S.C. § 1352 from using federal funds to pay any person for influencing or attempting to influence any officer or employee of an agency, a member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress with respect to the award, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any of these instruments.

Three important laws prohibit discrimination in the provision of the services or benefits, on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, handicap or age, in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. These laws are:

• Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (pdf), 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., as amended, states that “No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
• Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794 et seq., as amended and supplemented by Executive Orders 11914 and 11250, states that “(n)o otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States…shall, solely by reason of his or her disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance…,” and
• The Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (pdf) (135 KB), 42 U.S.C. § 6101 et seq., as amended, states that “(n)o person in the United States shall, on the basis of age, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity receiving financial assistance…”
