What guidance should be included in the FAR clause to address trafficking?

• A. Include the TIP clause found in FAR 52.222-50
• B. Include the DFARS clause
• C. Include a currency exchange clause
• D. Include an environmental compliance clause

Answer: (A)

The guidance to address trafficking in federal contracts is to include the TIP clause found in FAR 52.222-50, Combating Trafficking in Persons. This clause brings the Trafficking Victims Protection Act into the contract by requiring the contractor to have and enforce an anti-trafficking policy, provide training, notify employees, and flow the clause down to all subcontractors. It also obligates the contractor to take steps to prevent trafficking in its supply chain, report suspected trafficking, and cooperate with investigations. The government can take action if there’s non-compliance, up to contract termination. The other options don’t fit because they address topics unrelated to trafficking (defense-specific provisions, currency issues, or environmental compliance).
