22.1701
Applicability
Certification and compliance plan requirements for combating trafficking in persons apply only to non-COTS overseas contracts or subcontracts exceeding $550,000.
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 broadly to all acquisitions, but the specific requirement for a certification and compliance plan (per 22.1703(c)) is limited to certain contracts and subcontracts. Specifically, this requirement applies only to contracts or subcontracts for supplies (excluding COTS items) acquired outside the United States, or for services performed outside the United States, and only when the estimated value exceeds $550,000. This distinction is crucial for determining when additional anti-trafficking compliance measures are necessary.
