The effects of a debarment order on state agencies are:
(1) Agencies shall not permit debarred persons to participate in covered transactions, unless the debarring official determines in writing that there is a compelling reason to do so.
(2) If the period of debarment expires or is terminated prior to award, a contracting officer may, but is not required to, consider a debarred person's bid.
(3) Notwithstanding debarment, agencies may continue contracts or subcontracts in existence at the time the person was debarred unless the debarring official determines otherwise.
(4) Agencies shall not add new work, exercise options, or otherwise extend the duration of current contracts or orders for debarred persons, unless the debarring official makes a written determination of the compelling reasons for doing so.
