The Metropolitan Council has implemented Vendor Suspension and Debarment procedures that require the Met Council to maintain a public list of all suspended and debarred entities.
Debarment is a final action that excludes entities from eligibility for Met Council procurement awards. An entity may be barred from eligibility for a Met Council procurement for criminal or other improper conduct related to contracting or procurement (embezzlement, theft, forgery, falsifying records, or a material contract violation, for example). Full explanation of situations that could result in debarment are detailed in the Met Council Vendor Debarment Policy (PDF) and the Met Council Vendor Suspension and Debarment Procedure (PDF).
Suspension is a temporary action that excludes entities from eligibility for Met Council procurement awards. An entity may be suspended from eligibility for Met Council procurement awards while the Met Council is investigating a potential debarment.
Record of any suspensions and debarments will be maintained for a period of 10 years following the end of the suspension or debarment.
Please note that any vendor debarred by the federal government, the state of Minnesota, or any of its departments, commissions, agencies, or political subdivisions, is automatically debarred by the Met Council under the same terms and limits of the original debarment.
