Sec.  1173.670  Suspension.



    Suspension means an action taken by a Federal agency that 

immediately prohibits a recipient from participating in Federal 

Government procurement contracts and covered nonprocurement transactions 

for a temporary period, pending completion of an investigation and any 

judicial or administrative proceedings that may ensue. A recipient so 

prohibited is suspended, in accordance with the 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 under an award.
