Sec. 701. Drug-free workplace requirements for Federal contractors

-STATUTE-

(a) Drug-free workplace requirement

(1) Requirement for persons other than individuals

No person, other than an individual, shall be considered a

responsible source, under the meaning of such term as defined in

section 403(8) of this title, for the purposes of being awarded a

contract for the procurement of any property or services of a

value greater than the simplified acquisition threshold (as

defined in section 403(11) of this title) by any Federal agency,

other than a contract for the procurement of commercial items (as

defined in section 403(12) of this title), unless such person

agrees to provide a drug-free workplace by -

(A) publishing a statement notifying employees that the

unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession,

or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in the person's

workplace and specifying the actions that will be taken against

employees for violations of such prohibition;

(B) establishing a drug-free awareness program to inform

employees about -

(i) the dangers of drug abuse in the workplace;

(ii) the person's policy of maintaining a drug-free

workplace;

(iii) any available drug counseling, rehabilitation, and

employee assistance programs; and

(iv) the penalties that may be imposed upon employees for

drug abuse violations;

(C) making it a requirement that each employee to be engaged

in the performance of such contract be given a copy of the

statement required by subparagraph (A);

(D) notifying the employee in the statement required by

subparagraph (A), that as a condition of employment on such

contract, the employee will -

(i) abide by the terms of the statement; and

(ii) notify the employer of any criminal drug statute

conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace no

later than 5 days after such conviction;

(E) notifying the contracting agency within 10 days after

receiving notice under subparagraph (D)(ii) from an employee or

otherwise receiving actual notice of such conviction;

(F) imposing a sanction on, or requiring the satisfactory

participation in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation

program by, any employee who is so convicted, as required by

section 703 of this title; and

(G) making a good faith effort to continue to maintain a

drug-free workplace through implementation of subparagraphs

(A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F).

(2) Requirement for individuals

No Federal agency shall enter into a contract with an

individual unless such individual agrees that the individual will

not engage in the unlawful manufacture, distribution,

dispensation, possession, or use of a controlled substance in the

performance of the contract.

(b) Suspension, termination, or debarment of contractor

(1) Grounds for suspension, termination, or debarment

Each contract awarded by a Federal agency shall be subject to

suspension of payments under the contract or termination of the

contract, or both, and the contractor thereunder or the

individual who entered the contract with the Federal agency, as

applicable, shall be subject to suspension or debarment in

accordance with the requirements of this section if the head of

the agency determines that -

(A) the contractor violates the requirements of subparagraph

(A), (B), (C), (D), (E), or (F) of subsection (a)(1) of this

section; or

(B) such a number of employees of such contractor have been

convicted of violations of criminal drug statutes for

violations occurring in the workplace as to indicate that the

contractor has failed to make a good faith effort to provide a

drug-free workplace as required by subsection (a) of this

section.

(2) Conduct of suspension, termination, and debarment proceedings

(A) If a contracting officer determines, in writing, that cause

for suspension of payments, termination, or suspension or

debarment exists, an appropriate action shall be initiated by a

contracting officer of the agency, to be conducted by the agency

concerned in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation

and applicable agency procedures.

(B) The Federal Acquisition Regulation shall be revised to

include rules for conducting suspension and debarment proceedings

under this subsection, including rules providing notice,

opportunity to respond in writing or in person, and such other

procedures as may be necessary to provide a full and fair

proceeding to a contractor or individual in such proceeding.

(3) Effect of debarment

Upon issuance of any final decision under this subsection

requiring debarment of a contractor or individual, such

contractor or individual shall be ineligible for award of any

contract by any Federal agency, and for participation in any

future procurement by any Federal agency, for a period specified

in the decision, not to exceed 5 years.
