L.2.11 PREAWARD ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

a. The Contracting Officer has determined this contract may give rise to potential conflicts of interest due in part to contractors currently providing support to DTRA, who may have access to information that could potentially provide an unfair competitive advantage. Moreover, the nature of the work required by this contract could provide the awardee access to information that could potentially provide an unfair competitive advantage for future contracts. Offerors are directed to FAR Subpart 9.5 for detailed information concerning organizational conflicts of interest.

b. Each offeror must include in Volume I of its proposal either;

(1) a statement certifying that, to the best of its knowledge, it is not aware of any facts which create any actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest relating to the award of this contract, or

(2) a statement that describes concisely all relevant facts concerning any past, present, or planned interest (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) relating to the work to be performed under the proposed contract and bearing on whether the offeror has a possible organizational conflict of interest.

c. The Contracting Officer may require further relevant information from an offeror and may, at his discretion, permit an offeror to clarify errors or omissions in relevant information or in a statement required by (b) above. Refusal to provide a statement required by (b) above, refusal to provide further relevant information required by the Contracting Officer, or the misrepresentation of any relevant information will result in disqualification of an offeror from further consideration for award of a contract under this solicitation.

d. Relevant information regarding possible organizational conflicts of interest will not be treated like a separate evaluation factor, however, it will be addressed during the evaluation of proposals. Relevant information regarding each offeror will be analyzed by the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 9.5 in order to determine whether a potential conflict exists and if so, what actions are necessary to avoid or otherwise resolve the potential conflict.

e. The Contracting Officer will use all relevant information submitted by the offeror, and any other relevant information known to DTRA, to determine whether a potential conflict exists. If the Contracting Officer determines that a potential conflict exists, the conflict must be avoided or otherwise resolved through the inclusion of a special contract clause or other appropriate means. Although the terms of any special clause are subject to negotiation, it is likely that the contract will include a clause substantially the same as DTRA Clause 252.209- 9000 which is included in Section H of the contract.
