The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requires that contractors timely notify the relevant Office of Inspector General (OIG) whenever there is credible evidence to believe that a violation(s) of criminal law and/or the civil False Claims Act have occurred in connection with a Federal contract.
Specifically, contractors must disclose, in writing, to the OIG whenever they have credible evidence that a principal, employee, agent, or subcontractor of the contractor has committed a violation of Federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, or gratuity violations (found in Title 18 of the United States Code) or a violation of the civil False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733), in connection with the award, performance, or closeout of a Government contract or a subcontract awarded thereunder. Disclosures must be made by a senior officer or manager authorized to speak for the contractor.
For additional details see: Contractor Business Ethics Compliance Program and Disclosure Requirements, 73 Fed. Reg. 67064 (Nov. 12, 2008); 48 C.F.R 52.203-13(c)(2)(ii)(F).
