Contract Insights

As a government contractor, you're likely familiar with the intricacies of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Among these, FAR clause 52.209-6, aptly titled "Protecting the Government's Interest When Subcontracting With Contractors Debarred, Suspended, or Proposed for Debarment," stands out as a critical requirement. It essentially mandates that prime contractors like you must take serious steps to avoid working with any entities that are excluded from federal contracting.

Now, in today's ever-evolving regulatory landscape, simply checking SAM.gov isn't enough. Competent contractors and legal teams understand that thorough due diligence now extends to verifying subcontractors against the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list as well.

That's where CobbleStone Contract Insight^® contract lifecycle management (CLM) software comes into play. Our comprehensive solution is specifically designed to help you effectively manage FAR 52.209-6 compliance by seamlessly integrating robust OFAC and SAM.gov debarred vendor verification directly into your subcontractor management processes.
