# §2109.408. Certification regarding debarment, suspension, proposed debarment and other responsibility matters.


FAR [subpart 9.4](/cfr/48/subpart9.4.md) is implemented by changing the FAR offeror's certification at FAR 52.209-5 (which is part of a solicitation) to a pre-contract certificate and a contract clause. These provisions reflect the FEGLI Program's statutory exemption from competitive bidding ([5 U.S.C. 8709](/usc/5/8709.md)), which obviates the issuance of solicitations.
