Welcome to VA’s website on debarments relating to 38 United States Code (USC) § § 8127 of Public Law 109-461, the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006.

A debarment committee (“the 8127 Debarment & Suspension Committee”) has been established to process debarment referrals relating to misrepresentations of eligibility for status as a small business concern owned and controlled by a veteran (VOSB) or as a small business concern owned and controlled by a veteran with service-connected disabilities (SDVOSB).  Included in these debarment actions are misrepresentations pertaining to the Limitation on Subcontracting provisions of VAAR 852.219-10, VA Notice of Total Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside, and VAAR 852.219-11, VA Notice of Total Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside.

The committee consists of representatives from the Office of Acquisition & Logistics, the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization, the Office of General Counsel, and the Veterans Health Administration.  The committee will review referrals for debarment (and suspensions) and make formal recommendations to the debarring official pursuant to the procedures in VAAR 809.406-3.
