H.6 ARC 52.209-99 DISCLOSURE OF ORGANIZATION CONFLICT OF INTEREST

AFTER CONTRACT AWARD (MAY 2020)

(a) If the Contractor identifies an actual or potential Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) that has not already been adequately disclosed and resolved, the Contractor shall make a prompt and full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a complete description of the conflict and the action the Contractor has taken or proposes to take in order to resolve the conflict. This reporting requirement also includes Subcontractors’ actual or potential OCIs not adequately disclosed and resolved prior to award.

(b) If there is an OCI Avoidance/Mitigation Plan in the contract, the Contractor shall periodically update the plan, based on, but not limited to, changes to the legal entity, the overall structure of the organization, Subcontractor arrangements, Contractor management, ownership, ownership relationships, or modification of the work scope, in accordance with CDRL – 13 – Organization Conflicts of Interest Avoidance/Mitigation Plan. The Contracting Officer may require that the Contractor submit an additional OCI Avoidance/Mitigation Plan or a modification to the existing OCI Avoidance/Mitigation Plan to address OCI concerns identified by the Contracting Officer or Contractor that arise during performance of this contract.

(c) If there is not an OCI Mitigation Plan in the contract, the Contracting Officer may require that the Contractor submit an OCI Mitigation Plan under CDRL 13 - Organization Conflicts of Interest Avoidance/Mitigation Plan to fully address how the OCI has been successfully mitigated by the Contractor.

(d) Paragraphs (d)(1) – (3) below contain brief descriptions of each type of potential OCI and the reason it creates a concern. These descriptions are general and widely applicable.

These are the types of OCI situations that should be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer, per paragraph (a) of this clause, and addressed through updating or incorporating the OCI Avoidance/Mitigation Plan in the contract, as applicable.

(1) Unequal Access to Information: An OCI due to “unequal access to information” is created when a contractor has access to nonpublic information that may provide the firm an unfair competitive advantage to compete against other companies, likely in the context of a later competition for a future government contract.

(2) Biased Ground Rules: An OCI due to “biased ground rules” is created when a firm, as part of its performance of a government contract, has in some sense set the ground rules for another government contract by, for example, writing the statement of work or the specifications. In these “biased ground rules” cases, the primary concern is that the firm could skew the future competition, whether intentionally or not, in favor of itself. These situations may also involve concerns that a firm, by virtue of its special knowledge of the agency’s future requirements, would have an unfair advantage in the competition for those requirements. Thus, both principles of bias and unfair competitive advantage may be present under certain circumstances.

(3) Impaired Objectivity: An OCI due to “impaired objectivity” is created when a contractor, as part of its performance of a government contract, has the opportunity to take action, or participate in contract activities, under circumstances where the contractor’s judgment or objectivity in performing the requirements may be impaired because the contractor’s actions might affect the interests of entities with which the contractor has a direct or indirect affiliation or a competitive posture. Under such circumstances, the contractor could positively impact its own interests or those of a related/affiliated company, or could negatively impact the financial interests of a competitor entity. This conflict contains two elements – the use of subjective judgment by the contractor and a direct or indirect financial interest in the outcome of performance.

Contractor activities or actions having the potential to result in an impaired objectivity OCI include the following: participating in reviewing third-party proposals; other reviewing, evaluating, analyzing or testing of services, technology concepts, designs, prototypes, software or hardware of the contractor, an affiliate, or a third party; or making recommendations or decisions that could benefit same.

(e) The Contractor shall include paragraphs (a) through (d) of this clause in every subcontract. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with all of the provisions of this clause by each of its subcontractors.

H.7 ARC 52.223-90 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE (MAY 2020)

(a) Contractors shall comply with Ames Procedural Requirements (APR) 1601.4, “Emergency Management Plan.

(b) Contractors doing business with ARC are also employers in their own right and, as such, are responsible for protecting their employees, the environment, and property from the effects of hazardous events. When required by the PWS or as directed by the Contracting Officer, contractors shall develop and maintain appropriate emergency response and recovery plans, facility shutdown/startup plans, standard operations procedures, and checklists for emergency response to their facilities and operations. Contractors shall ensure training and certification of their employees as required to support their emergency response and recovery plan. Contractors shall participate in no more than five ARC drills and/or exercises annually to validate adequacy of emergency response and recovery plans and to ensure contractor employees are trained on how to respond, unless participation in more events are stated in the PWS or directed by the Contracting Officer.

During a disaster/emergency, the contractor's Project Manager or other line supervisor shall be prepared to provide personnel accountability and facility status information to the designated NASA Facility Manager or Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Representative.

(c) The site manager for the contract shall provide the name and contact information for any of its on-site contractor personnel that would like to volunteer to serve in an emergency response position associated with the overall NASA ARC and agency response to the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer Representative for its contract. If approved for a volunteer position, these individuals will be notified by the appropriate point of contact for the emergency response function that the individual was selected to volunteer with. The volunteers will then be trained in their roles by the Government, or its representative, and participate in any drills that serve to increase the Center’s effectiveness in responding to and recovering from emergencies and disasters. No requirements stated in the contract will be altered and no contract adjustment made to accommodate contractor personnel serving in these volunteer positions.

H.8 ARC 52.223-91 DISASTER ASSISTANCE AND RESCUE TEAM (DART)

PARTICIPATION (MAY 2020)

(a) Contractor employees are eligible to participate in the Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) if approved in writing by the Contractor and appointed by the Government. If a Contractor approves of an employee’s participation, the contractor agrees to modify the employee’s position description to include participation in DART, and to provide additional indemnification (e.g., worker’s compensation insurance, general liability insurance, etc.) as may be necessary to protect its employee and/or the Government while the employee is participating in the program voluntarily.

(b) This team is comprised of civil service, on-site contractor, Federal Resident Agency, the NASA Research Park, and Moffett Federal Airfield. The team composition includes, but is not limited to, scientists, engineers, wind tunnel mechanics, aircraft mechanics, facility maintenance personnel, computer specialists, industrial hygienists, safety professionals, heavy equipment operators, administrative personnel, managers, procurement officials, and data specialists. DART is an umbrella organization that has five functional groups.

The groups are Search and Rescue, Damage and Utility Control, Structural Assessment, Emergency Communications, and Medical. Typically, participation will involve approximately 5% of the employee’s (full) time, except for initial training/orientation, which will involve approximately 10% of the employee’s (full) time. The executive management at Ames Research Center strongly encourages contractor participation on DART, which needs all of our support, as it has proven to be a valuable element of the Center's Emergency Preparedness Program. Contractual requirements will not be altered, and contract adjustments will not be made to accommodate contractor personnel serving in these volunteer positions.

H.9 ARC 52.227-94 INCORPORATION OF CONTRACTOR’S PROPOSAL (MAY

2020)

The Contractor's entire proposal, including revision(s), submitted in response to solicitation 80ARC021R0001, entitled Aerospace Testing and Facilities Operations and Maintenance (ATOM-5) is hereby incorporated into the contract by reference.

H.10 ARC 52.230-90 CONTRACTOR PURCHASING (MAY 2020)

The contract (or task order) describes the work to be performed. The contractor may determine a need to procure supplies and services from outside vendors which are incidental to performing the contractual requirements. These purchasing activities should promote competition to the maximum extent possible and promote best value purchases; however, these purchasing functions are limited to necessary and incidental items tied directly to contract performance. As such, the contractor is prohibited from purchasing items for direct use by the government as these items should be procured by the Government. The contractor shall not perform purchasing functions or act in any other way as an agent for the government. Examples of prohibited purchases that are typical for most support service contracts include the purchase, for government use only, of the following: office supplies, hardware, personal computers and other peripheral devices and related supplies, licenses, subscriptions, vehicles, and personal or convenience items. Other examples of prohibited purchases include: pass-through purchases unrelated to the overall scope of the contract (i.e., non-contract related ODCs). The Contracting Officer at the time of negotiation will make a determination as to the appropriateness of the ODCs being proposed by the contractor.
