Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension

The Department of Defense (DoD) is revising the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoDGARs) to adopt and implement Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance on nonprocurement suspension and debarment and to make needed technical corrections. DoD is adopting and implementing the OMB guidance in a new part in title 2 of the CFR, the Governmentwide title recently established for OMB guidance and agencies' implementing regulations on grants and agreements. The Department also is removing the common rule on nonprocurement suspension and debarment that is in 32 CFR, Chapter I, Subchapter C, since the common rule is superseded by the new part implementing the OMB guidance. Adopting and implementing the OMB guidance and removing the common rule completes the DoD actions that the OMB guidance specifies. This regulatory action also is the first step toward relocating all of the DoDGARs to 2 CFR.
