Defense Procurement Fraud Debarment Clearinghouse
The Defense Procurement Fraud Debarment Clearinghouse,
operated by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), Office of
Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, was established by
Section 815, Subsection 10, of the National Defense Authorization
Act for fiscal year (FY) 1993 [Public Law 102-484, United States
Code, Section 2408 (c)]. This provision required the U.S. Attorney
General to establish a single point of contact for contractors or
subcontractors of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to promptly
confirm whether potential employees have been convicted of defense
contract-related fraud or any other felony. The clearinghouse serves
as this point of contact.
DOD contractors and subcontractors must verify this information
because individuals who have been convicted of fraud or any other
felony arising out of a contract with DOD are prohibited from
contracting with DOD under the National Defense Authorization Act of
1989 (Public Law 100-456).
