H-4 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

(a) Definitions.

The term “contractor” includes the Contractor and its employees, affiliates, marketing consultants (if any), consultants, and subcontractors at all tiers.

“Organizational Conflict of Interest” (“OCI”) means that because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a person is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government, or the person’s objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or a person has an unfair competitive advantage. FAR 2.101. An OCI may result when (1) activities or relationships create an actual or potential conflict of interest related to the performance of the Statement of Work (SOW) of this Contract; or, (2) when the nature of the SOW on this Contract creates an actual or potential conflict of interest with respect to the Contractor in relation to a future acquisition.

“Marketing consultant,” means any independent contractor who furnishes advice, information, direction, or assistance to an offeror or any other contractor in support of the preparation or submission of an offer for a Government contract by that offeror. An independent contractor is not a marketing consultant when rendering— (1) Services excluded in FAR Subpart 37.2; (2) Routine engineering and technical services (such as installation, operation, or maintenance of systems, equipment, software, components, or facilities);

(3) Routine legal, actuarial, auditing, and accounting services; and (4) Training services.

(b) In accordance with the guidance in FAR Subpart 9.5, the Contracting Officer has determined that potentially significant organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs) could result if the Contractor is allowed to participate (at any level) in future Federal Government acquisitions that include requirements that may be established or affected by the performance of the Statement of Work (SOW) by the Contractor under this Contract.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the Contractor may be ineligible (unless expressly exempted as provided in FAR Part 9.5) to act as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or consultant or subcontractor to any prime contractor or subcontractor at any tier, for any future requirements (for services, systems, or components of systems) procured by any Federal Government activity where the Contractor, in performance of the SOW under this Contract, has provided or is providing support (as described in FAR 9.505-1 through 9.505-4) that establishes or affects future requirements or may affect the future competition.

(d) The contracting officer responsible for securing future requirements, in his/her sole discretion, may make a determination to exempt the Contractor from ineligibility as described in subparagraph (c) above provided the Contractor submits an acceptable mitigation plan.

(1) Items for consideration in a mitigation plan include the following: identification of the organizational conflict(s) of interest; a reporting and tracking system; an organizational conflict of interest compliance/enforcement plan, to include employee training and sanctions, in the event of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information; a plan for organizational segregation (e.g., separate reporting chains); data security measures; and, non-disclosure agreements.

(2) The Government's determination regarding the adequacy of the mitigation plan or the possibility of mitigation is a unilateral decision made solely at the discretion of the Government and is not subject to the Disputes clause of the contract. The Government may terminate the contract for default if the Contractor fails to implement and follow the procedures contained in any approved mitigation plan.

(3) Nothing contained herein shall preclude the contracting officer in future Federal Government acquisitions from making his/her own determination as to whether an OCI exists and whether any such OCI has been successfully mitigated.

(e) The Contractor shall apply this clause to any subcontractors or consultants who: have access to proprietary information received or generated in the performance of this Contract; and/or, who participate in the development of data, or participate in any other activity related to this Contract which is subject to the terms of this clause at the prime contractor level.

(f) The Contactor agrees that it and its subcontractors at all levels shall use reasonable diligence in protecting proprietary data/information that is received or generated in performance of this Contract in accordance with this clause and any other clause of this Contract pertaining to the nondisclosure of information. The Contractor further agrees that neither it nor its subcontractors will willfully disclose proprietary data/information that is received or generated in the performance of this Contract without the prior permission of the Contracting Officer, and that proprietary information shall not be duplicated, used or disclosed, in whole or part, for any purpose other than to accomplish the work required by the Contract.

(g) The Contractor and its Subcontractors at all levels shall inform their employees that they are required to comply with the applicable requirements and restrictions contained in: restrictive markings applicable to data/information that they receive or generate in the performance of this Contract; FAR Subpart 9.5 pertaining to actual or potential OCIs; FAR 3.104 pertaining to requirements and restrictions under the Procurement Integrity Act;

and, Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7000 pertaining to “Disclosure of Information.”

(h) The Contractor agrees to enter into written agreements with all companies whose proprietary data it shall have access to and to protect such data from unauthorized use or disclosure as long as it remains proprietary. The Contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer copies of these written agreements. The Contractor agrees to protect the proprietary data and rights of other organizations disclosed to the Contractor during performance of this Contract with the same caution that a reasonably prudent Contractor would use to safeguard its own highly valuable property. The Contractor agrees to refrain from using proprietary information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished.

(i) The Contractor shall not distribute reports, data or information of any nature received or arising from its performance under this Contract, except as provided by this Contract or as may be directed by the Contracting Officer.

(j) The Contractor agrees that if in the performance of this Contract it discovers a potential OCI, a prompt and full disclosure shall be made in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a description of the actions the Contractor has taken, or proposes to take, to avoid or mitigate such conflicts.

H-5 SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENT REGARDING NON-DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

Data includes all data, information and software, regardless of the medium (e.g. electronic or paper) and/or format in which the data exists, and includes data which is derived from, based on, incorporates, includes or refers to such data. In the course of performing this Contract, the Contractor may be or may have been given access to: Source Selection Information [as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 3.104]; data that has been assigned (or data that is generated by the Contractor that should be assigned) a contractually required or other Government distribution control (such as a Distribution Statement prescribed in DoD Directive 5230.24); and/or data that has been given a restrictive legend by the source of the data such as “business sensitive,” “proprietary,” “confidential,” or word(s) with similar meaning that impose limits on the use and distribution of the data (see for example FAR 52.215-1(e)). All such data with limitations on use and distribution are collectively referred to herein as “protected data.”

This Special Contract Requirement supplements and implements Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) 252.204- 7000, “DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION.” As a condition to receiving access to protected data, the Contractor shall: (1) prior to having access to protected data, obtain the agreement of the source of the protected data to permit access by the Contractor to such protected data; (2) use the protected data solely for the purpose of performing duties under this Contract unless otherwise permitted by the source of the protected data; (3) not disclose, release, reproduce or otherwise provide or make available the protected data, or any portion thereof, to any employee of the Contractor unless and until such employee has been informed of the restrictions on use and distribution of the protected data and agreed in writing to conform with the applicable restrictions; (4) not disclose, release, reproduce or otherwise provide or make available the protected data, or any portion thereof, to any non-Government person or entity (including, but not limited to, affiliates, subcontractors, successors and assignees of the Contractor), unless the Contracting Officer and the source of the protected data have given prior written approval (which shall be conditioned upon the person receiving the protected data having been informed of the restrictions on use and distribution of the protected data and having agreed in writing to conform with the applicable restrictions; (5) establish and execute safeguards to prevent the unauthorized use or distribution of protected data.

Any unauthorized use, disclosure or release of protected data may result in substantial criminal, civil and/or administrative penalties to the Contractor or to the individual who violates a restriction on use or distribution of protected data. Any agreement with another company regarding access to that company’s protected data shall not create any limitation on the Government or its employees with regard to such data. A copy of each executed company and individual non-disclosure agreement relating to this Contract shall be provided to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

Appropriate restrictive legends will be included by the Contractor on any copies and reproductions made of all or any part of the protected data and any data that is derived from, based upon, incorporates, includes or refers to the protected data. When the Contractor’s need for such protected data ends, the protected data shall be returned promptly to the source of the protected data with notice to the COR. However, the obligation not to use, disclose, release, reproduce or otherwise provide or make available such protected data, or any portion thereof, shall continue, even after completion of the Contract, for so long as required by the terms of any agreement pertaining to the protected data between the Contractor and the source of the protected data, or (in the case of Government information) for so long as required by applicable law and regulation. Any actual or suspected unauthorized use, disclosure, release, or reproduction of protected data or violation of this agreement, of which the company or any employee is or may become aware, shall be reported promptly (within one business day after discovery and confirmation) to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

H-6 LEVEL OF EFFORT

(a) The Contractor agrees to provide the total level of effort specified in this paragraph. The estimated level of effort for performance of this contract is 43,040 labor hours for the base year and 43,040 for each option year, which is a total of 215,200 total hours of direct labor, including subcontractor direct labor for those subcontractors specifically identified in the Contractor's proposal as having hours included in the proposed level of effort.
