Overview
In July 2004, the state’s Operational Services Division and the Office of the Comptroller of the Commonwealth jointly issued the policy “State Finance Law and General Contract Requirements,” which states the following:
All departments must check the debarred vendor lists below before awarding or renewing a contract in order to ensure that they are not awarding a contract to a debarred vendor.
No Department shall knowingly accept a response of award a contract to any Contractor, or approve a subcontract to any party which is currently subject to any state of federal debarment order or determination. . . .
The following websites contain lists, which are updated periodically, of businesses, which have been debarred:
- Federal Government’s Excluded Parties List System
- [The state] Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance’s Debarred Contractor’s List
- Businesses Issued Stop Work Orders by the Department of Industrial Accidents
- Office of the Attorney General Debarment List
- Contractors Suspended or Debarred by [the Massachusetts Department of Transportation]
