OCIs

• Organization and Consultant Conflicts of Interest are governed by FAR 9.5

• The NAVAIR Clause 5252.209-9510 “ORGANIZATIONAL

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (NAVAIR) (SERVICES)(MAR

2007)” will be included in the solicitation.

• The clause is designed to notify offerors that they may perform activities within a services contract that could limit their future competitive opportunities.

• Waivers (aka “firewalls”) are difficult to process and approve.

• OCIs have seen an increased level of scrutiny in GAO protests over the last few years, and NAVAIR takes them very seriously.

• This applies to the prime contractor and subcontractors.

• During competitive opportunities, the Government conducts specific, fact based reviews of procurements where OCIs may exist, specific to the competitive opportunity.
