Human trafficking is a multibillion-dollar criminal industry that uses force, fraud, or coercion to exploit vulnerable people with the intent of obtaining forced labor or services, including sex. The U.S. Government condemns these practices and requires those who do business with them to take action to prevent, report and remedy human trafficking in federal contracts. FAR Subpart 22.17 requires that clause 52.222-50, Combating Trafficking in Persons, be incorporated in all solicitations and contracts and that the substance of this clause shall be included in all subcontracts and all contracts with agents.
