Federal Acquisition Regulation for procurement contracts (48 CFR part 9, 
subpart 9.4) and the common rule, Government-wide Debarment and 
Suspension (Nonprocurement), that implements Executive Order 12549 and 
Executive Order 12689. Suspension of a recipient is a distinct and 
separate action from suspension of an award or suspension of payments
