Contractor Suspension and Debarment

Administrative Agreements

New enforcement methods such as “Administrative Agreements” are being proposed to help make suspension and debarments fair for both the Government and contractor. Under this type of agreement, the Government agency will rehabilitate the contractor through remedial administrative measures rather than disqualify the contractor. This allows the Government an opportunity to assess and influence a company’s corporate ethical climate and require the contractor to enter into a written agreement to establish and maintain standards of conduct and internal control systems.

At Landon & Rian Enterprises, Inc., we focus on helping understaffed Government agencies and contractors ensure the Administrative Agreement agreed to by both parties is efficiently evaluated and monitored.
