This is an Organizational Conflict of Interest Disclosure form required by the State of South Carolina for offerors responding to state solicitations. The form establishes the state's policy to prevent situations where an offeror's judgment may be compromised due to past, present, or planned interests that relate to the work being performed or could provide unfair competitive advantage. Offerors, including all affiliates, proposed consultants, and subcontractors at any tier, must disclose all relevant facts concerning financial, contractual, organizational, or other interests that could create conflicts of interest. The form requires submission of either a detailed disclosure statement describing potential conflicts or a representation certifying that no such conflicts exist. No award will be made until the state has evaluated the disclosure or representation submitted by the offeror.

The state reserves the right to request additional relevant information from the offeror and will use all submitted information to determine whether an award would create an organizational conflict of interest. If a conflict is identified, the state may impose appropriate conditions to mitigate the conflict, disqualify the offeror, or proceed with the award if it determines such action is in the state's best interest with appropriate contractual conditions. Failure to provide required disclosures or misrepresentation of relevant interests may result in disqualification from the current solicitation, contract termination for default if discovered after award, disqualification from future related contracts, or other remedial actions permitted by law.
