About this file
This document is an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) attachment for a federal contract solicitation. It establishes requirements for offerors to disclose and mitigate potential conflicts of interest that could create unfair competitive advantages or compromise objectivity in performing contract work, with specific reference to concurrent performance on 504 loan compliance reviews or other financial consulting roles for the Small Business Administration (SBA). Offerors, including any subcontractors, consultants, or teaming partners, must address potential OCI concerns in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.5 and submit an OCI Avoidance or Mitigation Plan if a real or apparent conflict is identified.
Each offeror is required to submit a signed OCI Certification Statement as part of their proposal package, certifying either that no real or perceived OCI will result from contract award or that a real or apparent OCI may exist and an appropriate mitigation plan is attached. The OCI submission is evaluated separately from the technical evaluation, does not count toward page limitations, and is not scored by the Technical Evaluation Panel. The Contracting Officer reviews the OCI submission independently to determine whether award would be consistent with FAR requirements, with eligibility for award granted if no OCI exists or if the Mitigation Plan adequately protects government interests.

Attachment F – ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (OCI)
1. OCI Disclosure and Mitigation
In order to prevent conflicting roles that might create an unfair competitive advantage or impair an Offeror’s objectivity in performing the required work (e.g., concurrent performance on 504 loan compliance reviews or other financial consulting roles for SBA), Offerors shall disclose information concerning any actual or potential conflict of interest relating to this requirement.
Offerors (inclusive of any subcontractors, consultants, or teaming partners) shall address potential OCI concerns in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.5. If a real or apparent OCI is identified, the Offeror shall include an appropriate OCI Avoidance or Mitigation Plan with their submission.
2. Evaluation of OCI Submission
Any response to this OCI requirement will not be counted toward any page limitations and will not be part of the overall technical evaluation score. The Contracting Officer will review the OCI submission separately to determine whether award would be consistent with FAR requirements. If the Contracting Officer determines that no OCI exists, or that the Mitigation Plan adequately protects the interests of the Government, the Offeror will be determined eligible for award.
3. OCI Certification Statement
Each Offeror must submit the following signed certification as part of their proposal package:
**The Offeror hereby certifies to the best of its knowledge its OCI status below:**
(1) No real or perceived OCI, as defined in FAR 2.1 and discussed in FAR 9.5, will result from an award of this task order.
(2) A real or apparent OCI may exist as a result of an award; therefore, an appropriate OCI Avoidance or Mitigation Plan is attached.

How this fits your Evaluation Strategy:
● Administrative Separation: By keeping this outside the technical evaluation (Section M), you prevent the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) from having to score this, keeping the TEP focused strictly on technical capabilities.
● Compliance: This language directly addresses the specific concerns raised in the email thread regarding firms (like Kingstonville) that might have conflicting roles in 504 compliance.
● Procedural Integrity: By requiring a signed certification, you are documenting the vendor's compliance before the evaluation begins.
