# §1471.825. What information must I provide to the debarring official if I contest a proposed debarment?

- (a) In addition to any information and argument in opposition, as a respondent your submission to the debarring official must identify—
  - (1) **Specific facts that contradict the statements contained in the Notice of Proposed Debarment.** Include any information about any of the factors listed in [§ 1471.860](/cfr/29/1471.860.md). A general denial is insufficient to raise a genuine dispute over facts material to the debarment;
  - (2) All existing, proposed, or prior exclusions under regulations implementing E.O. 12549 and all similar actions taken by Federal, State, or local agencies, including administrative agreements that affect only those agencies;
  - (3) All criminal and civil proceedings not included in the Notice of Proposed Debarment that grew out of facts relevant to the cause(s) stated in the notice; and
  - (4) **All of your affiliates.**
- (b) If you fail to disclose this information, or provide false information, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service may seek further criminal, civil or administrative action against you, as appropriate.
