H.2 NFS 1852.209-71 LIMITATION OF FUTURE CONTRACTING. (DEC 1988)

(a) The Contracting Officer has determined that this acquisition may give rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest. Accordingly, the attention of prospective offerors is invited to FAR Subpart 9.5 - Organizational Conflicts of Interest.

(b) The nature of these conflicts are that in performing this contract, there are situations where the services performed may give rise to the significant potential organizational conflicts of interest listed below.

(1) There is a concern that the successful contractor or its subcontractor(s), as part of their performance of a government contract, obtains access to another contractor’s proprietary, business confidential, or financial data and/or non-public Government information, which may provide the firm an unfair competitive advantage in a future competition. The Contractor shall protect this data/information from unauthorized use and disclosure and agrees not to use it, either directly or indirectly, in any proposals responding to a future Government solicitation.

(2) There is a concern that the successful contractor or its subcontractor(s) judgment and objectivity in performing their contract requirements may be impaired due to the fact that the substance of the contractor’s performance has the potential to affect other interests of the contractor, thereby impairing the contractor’s judgment and objectivity.

(c) The restrictions upon future contracting are as follows:

(1) To the extent that the work under this contract requires access to proprietary, business confidential, or financial data of other companies, and as long as this data remain proprietary or confidential, the Contractor and its subcontractors shall protect this data from unauthorized use and disclosure and agree not to use this data, either directly or indirectly, in any proposals responding to a future Government solicitation.

Similarly, the Contractor and its subcontractors shall protect Government non-public information from unauthorized use and disclosure and agree not to use it, either directly or indirectly, in any proposals responding to a future Government solicitation.

If the Contractor and/or its subcontractor are unable to demonstrate adequate protection to ensure that non- public data/information could not be used to improve their competitive position in a future procurement, they will be ineligible for award of the contract resulting from such procurement.

(2) If the Contractor, through the performance of this contract, is required to participate in technical reviews or provide engineering consultation services on its own proposals/quotations, products, or services (or those of its affiliate(s) or competitor(s)) provided under a different contract(s), the Contractor shall be ineligible to perform such work as a prime or subcontractor.

In the absence of available license exemptions/exceptions, the Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining the appropriate licenses or other approvals, if required, for exports of hardware, technical data, and software, or for the provision of technical assistance.

(b) The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining export licenses, if required, before utilizing foreign persons in the performance of this contract, including instances where the work is to be performed on-site at NASA HQ and other NASA centers, where the foreign person will have access to export-controlled technical data or software.

(c) The Contractor shall be responsible for all regulatory record keeping requirements associated with the use of licenses and license exemptions/exceptions.
