(1) # Are, # are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible

civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection
with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local government contract or
subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or
commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making

delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds the threshold at 9.104-5(a)(2) for which the
liability remains unsatisfied.
(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:
(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been
assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or
judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not
finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.
(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the
taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A
taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.
(ii) Examples.
(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which
entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a
delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court
review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial
appeal rights.
(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability,
and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to
request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further
appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of
the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the
taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax
because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will
not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.
(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The
taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms.
The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full
payment.
(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent
because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy
Code).
(i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products
(Executive Order 13126). [The Contracting Officer must list in paragraph (i)(1)
