Overview
FAR 22.1701 outlines the applicability of Subpart 22.17, which addresses combating trafficking in persons in government contracts. This section clarifies that the subpart applies to all acquisitions, but the specific requirement for a certification and compliance plan (per 22.1703(c)) is limited to contracts or subcontracts for non-COTS supplies acquired or services performed outside the United States, with an estimated value exceeding $700,000. Contractors and subcontractors must be aware of these thresholds to determine when additional anti-trafficking compliance measures are required.
