Contract # Add Contract Number here Limitations On Future Contracting

By submitting a proposal in response to this simplified acquisition proposal request (SAPR), the contractor and any of its affiliates shall be ineligible to compete, as a prime or subcontractor for any solicitation, subsequent contracts, orders, or other contract instruments that would arise from direct involvement in the tasks specifically identified in the PWS that create an un-mitigatable OCI.

Activities associated with supporting, planning, advising, and preparing documents connected with the services required under the PWS task 4 are examples (not an all-inclusive list) of direct involvement and have the highest potential to create an un-mitigatable OCI.

This Limitation on Future Contracting shall be in full force and effect commencing with the date of the award and continuing for a period of two years following task order termination.

The contractor shall include the substance of this Limitation on Future Contracting in subcontracts where the work includes tasks identified in the PWS that create an un-mitigatable OCI. The term “services,” as used herein, shall mean any diagrams, drawings, performance descriptions, conceptual designs, hardware configuration, models, computer software, architecture descriptions, design descriptions, capabilities descriptions, cost estimates, schedule forecasts and related documents associated with the lifecycle management and acquisition of the development, production, sustainment and disposal of the IT Systems.

The contractor acknowledges that the US Government shall or may in reliance of this agreement provide contractor personnel access to trade secrets, Government privileged information, and other restricted data. The contractor agrees to retain any and all information obtained in support of this Contract as US Government Controlled Unclassified Information and not to use said information on his or her own behalf or disclose same to any third party except as required in performance of this contract.
