IBM and its subsidiaries are suspended from receiving new federal contracts, certain subcontracts and some types of federal assistance and benefits, due to an action taken by the Environmental Protection Agency that extends governmentwide, according to federal documents.
According to the Excluded Parties List System, maintained by the General Services Administration, the EPA took action against IBM on March 27, pursuant to Executive Order 12549, created in 1986 to curb fraud, waste and abuse in federal programs.
