2.1.6. Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI). Contractor and Subcontractor personnel performing work under this contract may receive, have access to or participate in the development of proprietary or source selection information (e.g., cost or pricing information, budget information or analyses, specifications or work statements, etc.) or perform evaluation services which may create a current or subsequent OCI as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5. The Contractor shall notify the CO immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and shall promptly submit a plan to the CO to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The Contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the CO and in the event the CO unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the CO may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.

2.2. Contractor Identification:

2.2.1. Identification of Contractor Employees. All contract personnel attending meetings, answering Government telephones, and working in other situations where their Contractor status is not obvious to third parties are required to identify themselves as such to avoid creating an impression in the minds of members of the public that they are Government officials. They must also ensure that all documents or reports produced by Contractors are suitably marked as Contractor products or that Contractor participation is appropriately disclosed.

2.2.2. Identification Badges. Contractors shall wear company identification badges to easily distinguish themselves from Government employees (e.g. corporate identification badges, Government-issued identification that reflects Contractor status, etc.) These badges must be conspicuously displayed at all times when working with Government personnel. Identification badges must be displayed above the waist at all times to allow for easy identification as a Contractor employee or authorized sub-Contractor performing work for the Contractor. Badges shall be worn at all times when Contractor employees are co-located on a Government installation or when on temporary duty (TDY) working with other Government personnel.

Sub-Contractor employees’ identification badges shall identify their respective prime Contractor.

Government personnel during business meetings, over the telephone, or via electronic mail, identify themselves as Contractor personnel. Electronic mail signature blocks and business cards shall identify Contractor/company affiliation.

The Contractor shall receive the CO’s acceptance in writing of any proposed change to the QCP within 30 calendar days after receipt of changed QCP. (CDRL A001)

2.3.2. Quality Assurance. The Government will periodically evaluate the Contractor’s performance by appointing a COR(s) to monitor performance to ensure services are received. The Government COR will evaluate the Contractor’s performance through intermittent on-site inspections of the Contractor's quality control program and receipt of complaints from base personnel. The Contractor’s performance shall be documented in the monthly Certificates of

Service. The Government may inspect each task as completed or increase the number of quality control inspections if deemed appropriate because of repeated failures discovered during quality control inspections or because of repeated customer complaints. Likewise, the Government may decrease the number of QC inspections if merited by performance. The Government will also investigate complaints received from various customers located on the installation. The Contractor shall be responsible for initially validating customer complaints.

However, the CO, with Government COR input, will make final determination of the validity of customer complaint(s) in cases of disagreement with Contractor.

2.3.3. Contracting Officer Representative (COR). The COR(s) will be identified by a separate letter. The COR monitors all technical aspects of the contract and assists in contract administration. The COR is authorized to perform the following functions: 1) assure that the Contractor performs the technical requirements of the contract, 2) perform inspections necessary in connection with contract performance, 3) maintain written and oral communications with the Contractor concerning technical aspects of the contract, 4) issue written interpretations of technical requirements, including Government drawings, designs, specifications, 5) monitor Contractor's performance and notifies both the CO and Contractor of any deficiencies, 6) coordinate availability of Government furnished property, and 7) provide site entry of Contractor personnel. A letter of designation issued to the COR, a copy of which is sent to the Contractor, states the responsibilities and limitations of the COR, especially with regard to changes in scope, price, or changes in delivery dates. The COR is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the resulting order.

2.3.3.1. COR and CO QC Roles. The COR(s) is (are) the authorized Government representative(s) who will perform assessments of the Contractor’s performance. The COR(s) will inform the CO when discrepancies occur and will request corrective action from the Contractor. The COR(s) will make a notation of the discrepancy, as well as the date and time the discrepancy was corrected, on their surveillance checklist. Any matter concerning a change to the scope, prices, terms or conditions of this contract shall be referred to the CO and not to the COR(s).
