Exhibit L- Preparation of SOW or Specification FL-20.pdf

This is a contract clause (Form FL-20, Revision 11/17) regarding restrictions on subcontractor participation in competitive acquisitions. The clause establishes a conflict of interest provision applicable when a subcontractor prepares a complete or essentially complete statement of work (SOW) or specifications for use in competitive acquisitions under a Fermi Research Alliance, LLC subcontract.

Under this clause, a subcontractor that drafts such SOW or specification documents becomes ineligible to perform or participate in any capacity in any subsequent competitive contractual effort based on those documents, with the exception of providing direct advice or assistance to Fermi Research Alliance, LLC on the competitive acquisitions. However, the restriction does not prevent the subcontractor from participating in noncompetitive acquisitions involving the same SOW or specification. This provision is designed to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure fair competition when SOW or specification documents are used for soliciting bids from multiple contractors.
