What Contractors Need to Know About Combating-Trafficking Compliance

The Federal Government requires every Federal contract, grant, and cooperative agreement to include an obligation that the recipient of the Federal funds comply with its policy to combat human trafficking. A failure to comply with the policy may result in negative consequences, including criminal and civil liability, suspension or debarment, termination of the agreement, and a negative past performance rating. This program is designed to help attendees understand the obligations that the Government’s clauses (FAR 52.222-50, “Combating Trafficking in Persons” and 2 CFR 175.15) require contractors to meet, with the focus of the program on FAR 52.222-50’s general requirements.
