In this episode of GovCon Perspectives, Will Wozniak talks with Tony Anikeeff about suspension and debarment. The government can suspend or debar an entity or individual for a host of actions or omissions, barring them from doing business with the government. A proactive strategy of self-examination, corrective action and engagement with the Suspension and Debarment Official can lead to a positive result for a company that will enable it to continue engaging with the government.
