Solicitor and the Office of the Inspector General, as appropriate, and 
submit a formal recommendation documenting the cause for suspension, to 
the Senior Procurement Executive.
    (b) Notice of suspension. Based upon review of the recommendation 
to suspend and consultation with the Office of the Solicitor and the

the opportunity to appear at informal proceedings, as required by FAR 
9.407-3(b)(2)(i). Either party may call witnesses. The proceedings must 
be conducted expeditiously and in such a manner that each party will 
have a full opportunity to present all information considered pertinent 
to the proposed suspension.
    (d) Suspension decisions. The Senior Procurement Executive must 
make a final decision on suspension as prescribed in FAR 9.407-3(d).
