Office of General Counsel.

H.2. ORGANIZATIONAL AND CONSULTANT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (OCCI)

The Offeror shall provide an affirmation statement that no OCI exists; or, if applicable, submit an OCI plan that identifies any potential or actual Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of

Interest (OCCI) as described in FAR Subpart 9.5.

This includes actual or potential conflicts of interests of proposed subcontractors. If an Offeror identifies in its proposal, quote, bid or any resulting contract, a potential or actual conflict of interest, the Offeror shall submit an Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest Plan

(OCCIP) to the Contracting Officer. The OCCIP shall describe how the Offeror will address potential or actual conflicts of interest and identify how they will avoid, neutralize, or mitigate present or future conflicts of interest.

c. Only travel specifically authorized in advance and in writing by the COR will be reimbursed under this Contract. The Contractor shall not be reimbursed for any amount that exceeds the amount for travel set forth in the Contract.

31.205-46, Travel Costs (this includes the Department of Defense (DoD) deviation from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), dated 16 Sep 1999).

* Any other day designated by Federal Statute

* Any other day designated by Executive Order

c. It is understood and agreed between the Government and the Contractor that observance of such days by Government personnel shall not otherwise be a reason for an additional period of performance, or entitlement to compensation except when services are required by the Government and actually performed on a holiday.

Whenever the Government is shut down for some unforeseen reason (i.e. death of a former President, unusually severe weather), the shut down falls within the scope of

Executive Order 11582 of February 11, 1971 and of 5 USC 5546 and 6103(b), all of which govern the observance of holidays by Government agencies. Unforeseen shut downs will be treated as a Federal holiday and will be applied to Contractor personnel accordingly. Section 2 of the Executive Order does allow agencies to require that certain personnel report for work on days that the Government is shut down for reasons of national security, defense, or other public need.

H.8. TRANSITION.

A smooth and orderly transition between the Contractor and a predecessor or successor

Contractor is necessary to assure minimum disruption to vital Government business. The

Contractor shall not recruit on Government premises or otherwise act to disrupt official

Government business.
