January 27, 2010
On January 20, 2010, President Obama issued a memorandum directing OMB to evaluate practices of contracting officers and debarring officials in response to contractors' certifications regarding serious tax delinquencies and to provide him, within 90 days, recommendations to ensure that contractors with any such delinquencies are not awarded new federal contracts. Additionally, the President directed the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to conduct a review of the accuracy of contractors' certifications of non-delinquency that companies bidding for federal contracts must submit.
