FAR 3.501-2 says that the government can't do business with someone who pays or offers bribes to win contracts. It helps keep things honest and fair. This rule protects taxpayer money and makes sure everyone plays by the same rules in government contracting.
FAR 3.501-2 says it’s not okay to pay someone to help win a government contract unless it follows the rules. This stops unfair or secret deals. It protects the government and makes sure everyone plays fair. If you hire someone to help with bidding, the process must be open and honest.
Many people misread FAR 3.501-2 by thinking it only applies to written kickbacks, but verbal or hidden agreements count too. Another common mistake is forgetting that both the payer and the receiver can get in trouble—even if no money changes hands. Some also fail to report suspected kickbacks, which is required. These errors can lead to serious penalties and create unfair competition. Always stay alert, follow the rules, and report anything suspicious to stay in compliance.
