Which FAR Subpart is the main subpart addressing CTIP and titled 'Combating Trafficking in Persons'?

• A. FAR Subpart 8.4
• B. FAR Subpart 12.3
• C. FAR Subpart 52.2
• D. FAR Subpart 22.17

Answer: (D)

CTIP requirements are found in a dedicated FAR subpart titled “Combating Trafficking in Persons.” This section establishes the government’s stance and controls to prevent trafficking in any contract or supply chain, requiring contractors to refrain from trafficking, comply with the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, and implement an anti-trafficking program with annual representations. It also mandates that the CTIP clause flow down to subcontractors and outlines enforcement mechanisms, including potential suspension or debarment for violations. The other options cover different procurement topics—acquisition of commercial items, general contract clauses, or unrelated acquisition procedures—and do not carry the CTIP title or mandate, so they aren’t the main subpart addressing Combating Trafficking in Persons.
