Summary

Summary by the Congressional Research Service· describes the “Introduced in House” version

Federal Program Integrity and Fraud Prevention Act of 2025 This bill prohibits federal agencies, including the military, from awarding contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other types of financial assistance for three years to individuals who are convicted of specified fraud-related felonies related to the use of federal financial assistance. Specifically, the bill requires individuals who are convicted of specified felonies arising out of agency contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, loans, or other financial assistance to be included on the exclusion list for the government’s e-procurement and data and award management system (i.e., the System for Award Management). Federal agencies, including the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, may not award any form of financial assistance to these individuals for three years. The prohibition generally applies to fraud-related felonies, such as aggravated identity theft, mail or computer fraud, and embezzlement of funds. The Department of Justice (DOJ) must notify the General Services Administration (GSA) in a timely manner when individuals are convicted of such felonies so that GSA may add these individuals to the exclusion list. Agencies may exempt individuals from the prohibition but must notify Congress of any such exemptions. DOJ must issue guidance on the bill's implementation.
