Restricted Parties

What are Restricted Parties?

Restricted parties are individuals, organizations, or companies that a federal agency has identified as a party the U.S. may not be able to conduct certain transactions with, such as exporting, investments, or, in some cases, any transaction. Each U.S. Government agency with oversight for export controls administers various lists of restricted (or denied) parties. 

As a matter of policy, UF will not enter into contracts or other agreements, do business with, or engage in any activity with entities on a U.S. government restricted party list.

Screening

UF Research Integrity, Security, and Compliance (UF RISC) maintains the license to use Visual Compliance to assist in restricted party screenings. UF RISC grants access to Visual Compliance for UF. Following completion of training with UF RISC, individuals may conduct restricted party screening(s) within Visual Compliance.

UF RISC is also able to conduct its own restricted party screening(s) for all academic units at UF. If a restricted party screening is required or if access to Visual Compliance is needed, please contact UF RISC for more assistance.
