# §1471.145. Does this part address persons who are disqualified, as well as those who are excluded from nonprocurement transactions?


Except if provided for in subpart J of this part, this part—

- (a) **Addresses disqualified persons only to—**
  - (1) Provide for their inclusion in the EPLS; and
  - (2) State responsibilities of Federal agencies and participants to check for disqualified persons before entering into covered transactions.
- (b) **Does not specify the—**
  - (1) **FMCS transactions for which a disqualified person is ineligible.** Those transactions vary on a case-by-case basis, because they depend on the language of the specific statute, Executive order, or regulation that caused the disqualification;
  - (2) Entities to which the disqualification applies; or
  - (3) **Process that the agency uses to disqualify a person.** Unlike exclusion, disqualification is frequently not a discretionary action that a Federal agency takes.
