Combating trafficking in persons — clause, flow-down and notification (FAR 52.222-50; 2 CFR 175) — the steps as written

Keeping the file

#	Step	Record	Where
F1	At each ● step, pull the dated receipt under the party's exact name or UEI and file its receipt id with the transaction record.	receipt id (r_…) on the procurement, subaward or payment record	https://alphacovenantholdings.com/screening
F2	Anchor your own document for the step — the signed check, the certification, the memo — by its SHA-256 beside the receipt. The document stays with you; only its hash is logged.	anchor id (a_…) in the same log as the receipt	https://alphacovenantholdings.com/r/{receipt_id} → Anchor
F3	Note the retention line the file sits under and, once the trigger date is known, the date the period runs to.	the rule's own words and date (FAR 4.703/4.705 or 2 CFR 200.334)	https://alphacovenantholdings.com/api/retention/rules
F4	At period end, keep the signed file statement for the organization: every receipt and anchor, the sources read and which did not answer, the log head they chain to.	one signed page per UEI; its hash and signature verify without Alpha Covenant	https://alphacovenantholdings.com/file/{uei}

How the dated records are kept, not what they prove. A receipt shows what the official file printed on the read date; an anchor shows a document existed in that exact form on that date; the file statement lists what the file holds. None of them states that a step was done correctly or that the organization is eligible or compliant.

How the auditor tests it

Award-term inclusion and flow-down are tested under Special Tests and Provisions where the program includes them; exclusions under Procurement and Suspension and Debarment. — OMB Compliance Supplement, Part 3, Sections I and N

The steps as the regulation and the auditor's program state them, each with its citation. Nothing here is advice or a determination; the agency's text controls. A dated receipt is the record at the marked steps — it shows what the official file printed on the read date, not that the step was done correctly.

Not legal advice, not a compliance determination, not a statement that any filer's certification is true or false. Form numbers and line numbers are as published on the date noted and may be renumbered by their agencies; the official page controls. Audit findings quoted are the auditor's words as filed at the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, cited by report id; they describe a documentation gap, not a conclusion about any party.
