FAR 3.909-3 is the rule that stops the government from hiring people who lied about crimes. It keeps government workers honest and fair.
FAR 3.909-3 says companies can’t get paid by the government if they make their workers sign illegal non-disclosure agreements. It helps protect whistleblowers—people who speak up about bad behavior. This rule makes sure workers can report fraud or waste without getting in trouble. It keeps government work honest and fair.
FAR 3.909-3 says that contractors must tell the government if someone working on a contract has a felony for lying or stealing, like fraud or bribery. This helps keep trust and honesty in government work. It’s like checking that everyone on the team plays fair before starting the game. This rule is part of government contract compliance to protect taxpayer money and support ethical contracting.
A common mistake with FAR 3.909-3 is not checking if a job applicant has been listed in the System for Award Management (SAM) as ineligible. Some forget to review the SAM exclusions list before hiring, which can violate rules. Others think this check is only needed once, but it must be done before every covered hiring. These slip-ups can lead to serious penalties. Always review the SAM list carefully and follow FAR rules to stay compliant.
