Following a debarment decision under rule R- 24-109-105 -02, the procurement official may recommend statewide debarment to the chief procurement officer. The chief procurement officer or his or her designee shall investigate, including consultation with the affected using agencies and attorney general, to determine whether a contractor or prospective contractor has engaged in activities which are a cause for statewide debarment. After the debarment decision takes effect, the person shall remain debarred for the debarment period specified in the decision, unless a court, the executive director, or the chief procurement officer orders otherwise.
