Legal corpus: U.S. Code titles 1–11 from pinned OLRC XML (11,050 sections)
Raw OLRC USLM XML zips @ release 119-100 (retrieved 2026-07-04 via Atlas depot), ingested with the standard pipeline: raw snapshot -> per-section OKF markdown -> manifest + checksums. Title 52 untouched. LegalText: 171 -> 11,221. Titles 12-54 await a clean OLRC retry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

(a) Money appropriated to the Department of Defense may not be spent under a contract other than a contract for personal services unless that contract provides that—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) the United States may, by written notice to the contractor, terminate the right of the contractor to proceed under the contract if the Secretary concerned or his designee finds, after notice and hearing, that the contractor, or his agent or other representative, offered or gave any gratuity, such as entertainment or a gift, to an officer, official, or employee of the United States to obtain a contract or favorable treatment in the awarding, amending, or making of determinations concerning the performance, of a contract; and
|
||||
|
||||
(2) if a contract is terminated under clause (1), the United States has the same remedies against the contractor that it would have had if the contractor had breached the contract and, in addition to other damages, is entitled to exemplary damages in an amount at least three, but not more than 10, as determined by the Secretary or his designee, times the cost incurred by the contractor in giving gratuities to the officer, official, or employee concerned.
|
||||
|
||||
The existence of facts upon which the Secretary makes findings under clause (1) may be reviewed by any competent court.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) This section does not apply to a contract that is for an amount not greater than the simplified acquisition threshold (as defined in section 134 of title 41).

# 10 U.S.C. § 4654 - Prohibition against doing business with certain offerors or contractors
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the Secretary of a military department may not solicit an offer from, award a contract to, extend an existing contract with, or, when approval by the Secretary of the award of a subcontract is required, approve the award of a subcontract to, an offeror or contractor which to the Secretary’s knowledge has been debarred or suspended by another Federal agency unless—
|
||||
|
||||
(A) in the case of debarment, the debarment of the offeror or contractor by all other agencies has been terminated or the period of time specified for such debarment has expired; and
|
||||
|
||||
(B) in the case of a suspension, the period of time specified by all other agencies for the suspension of the offeror or contractor has expired.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply in any case in which the Secretary concerned determines that there is a compelling reason to solicit an offer from, award a contract to, extend a contract with, or approve a subcontract with such offeror or contractor.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Whenever the Secretary concerned makes a determination described in subsection (a)(2), he shall, at the time of the determination, transmit a notice to the Administrator of General Services describing the determination. The Administrator of General Services shall maintain each such notice on a publicly accessible website to the maximum extent practicable.
|
||||
|
||||
(c) In this section:
|
||||
|
||||
(1) The term “debar” means to exclude, pursuant to established administrative procedures, from Government contracting and subcontracting for a specified period of time commensurate with the seriousness of the failure or offense or the inadequacy of performance.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) The term “suspend” means to disqualify, pursuant to established administrative procedures, from Government contracting and subcontracting for a temporary period of time because a concern or individual is suspected of engaging in criminal, fraudulent, or seriously improper conduct.
|
||||
|
||||
(d) The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe in regulations a requirement that each contractor under contract with the Department of Defense shall require each contractor to whom it awards a contract (in this section referred to as a subcontractor) to disclose to the contractor whether the subcontractor is or is not, as of the time of the award of the subcontract, debarred or suspended by the Federal Government from Government contracting or subcontracting. The requirement shall apply to any subcontractor whose subcontract is in an amount greater than the simplified acquisition threshold (as defined in section 134 of title 41). The requirement shall not apply in the case of a subcontract for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services (as defined in sections 103 and 103a, respectively, of title 41).

# 10 U.S.C. § 4655 - Prohibition of contractors limiting subcontractor sales directly to the United States
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Each contract for the purchase of supplies or services made by the Department of Defense shall provide that the contractor will not—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) enter into any agreement with a subcontractor under the contract that has the effect of unreasonably restricting sales by the subcontractor directly to the United States of any item or process (including computer software) made or furnished by the subcontractor under the contract (or any follow-on production contract); or
|
||||
|
||||
(2) otherwise act to restrict unreasonably the ability of a subcontractor to make sales to the United States described in clause (1).
|
||||
|
||||
(b) This section does not prohibit a contractor from asserting rights it otherwise has under law.
|
||||
|
||||
(c) This section does not apply to a contract that is for an amount not greater than the simplified acquisition threshold (as defined in section 134 of title 41).
|
||||
|
||||
(d) (1) An agreement between the contractor in a contract for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services and a subcontractor under such contract that restricts sales by such subcontractor directly to persons other than the contractor may not be considered to unreasonably restrict sales by that subcontractor to the United States in violation of the provision included in such contract pursuant to subsection (a) if the agreement does not result in the United States being treated differently with regard to the restriction than any other prospective purchaser of such commercial products or commercial services from that subcontractor.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) In paragraph (1), the terms “commercial product” and “commercial service” have the meanings given those terms in sections 103 and 103a, respectively, of title 41.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Limitation on Criminal History Inquiries.— (1) In general.— Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3), the head of an agency—
|
||||
|
||||
(A) may not require that an individual or sole proprietor who submits a bid for a contract to disclose criminal history record information regarding that individual or sole proprietor before determining the apparent awardee; and
|
||||
|
||||
(B) shall require as a condition of receiving a Federal contract and receiving payments under such contract that the contractor may not verbally or through written form request the disclosure of criminal history record information regarding an applicant for a position related to work under such contract before such contractor extends a conditional offer to the applicant.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) Otherwise required by law.— The prohibition under paragraph (1) does not apply with respect to a contract if consideration of criminal history record information prior to a conditional offer with respect to the position is otherwise required by law.
|
||||
|
||||
(3) Exception for certain positions.— (A) In general.— The prohibition under paragraph (1) does not apply with respect to—
|
||||
|
||||
(i) a contract that requires an individual hired under the contract to access classified information or to have sensitive law enforcement or national security duties; or
|
||||
|
||||
(ii) a position that the Secretary of Defense identifies under the regulations issued under subparagraph (B).
|
||||
|
||||
(B) Regulations.— (i) Issuance.— Not later than 16 months after the date of enactment of the Fair Chance to Compete for Jobs Act of 2019, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Administrator of General Services, shall issue regulations identifying additional positions with respect to which the prohibition under paragraph (1) shall not apply, giving due consideration to positions that involve interaction with minors, access to sensitive information, or managing financial transactions.
|
||||
|
||||
(ii) Compliance with civil rights laws.— The regulations issued under clause (i) shall—
|
||||
|
||||
(I) be consistent with, and in no way supersede, restrict, or limit the application of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.) or other relevant Federal civil rights laws; and
|
||||
|
||||
(II) ensure that all hiring activities conducted pursuant to the regulations are conducted in a manner consistent with relevant Federal civil rights laws.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Complaint Procedures.— The Secretary of Defense shall establish and publish procedures under which an applicant for a position with a Department of Defense contractor may submit a complaint, or any other information, relating to compliance by the contractor with subsection (a)(1)(B).
|
||||
|
||||
(c) Action for Violations of Prohibition on Criminal History Inquiries.— (1) First violation.— If the Secretary of Defense determines that a contractor has violated subsection (a)(1)(B), the Secretary shall—

||||

||||
|
||||
(2) is necessary in the interest of national security.

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
(2) an identification of the contractor or subcontractor that is the subject of the waiver request; and
|
||||
|
||||
(3) an identification of the purpose of the sale, licensing, or transfer of covered individually identifiable Department employee data that is the subject of the waiver request.
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Definitions.— In this section:
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
(A) identifies such employee; or
|
||||
|
||||
(B) which may be used to infer, by either direct or indirect means, the identity of such an employee to whom the information applies.
