WASHINGTON (CN) - Contractors who conduct certain business operations in the Sudan may not do business with the U.S. government, according to new Department of Defense regulations.
Before bidding on a project, contractors must certify that they do not conduct or have direct investments in business operations in the Sudan that include power production activities, mineral extraction activities, oil-related activities, or the production of military equipment.
Investing in certain sectors of the Sudan economy may give a company a bad reputation, or may show financial risk, according to the Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act of 2007.
The DoD also has added Burma to the list of countries from which most imports are prohibited.
