Offeror shall provide Buyer a statement which describes in a concise manner, all relevant facts concerning any past, present, or currently planned interest (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) relating to the work described in the statement of work of this solicitation. Offeror may also provide relevant facts that show how its organizational structure and/or management systems limit its knowledge of affiliates or other divisions or sections of the proposing entity and how that structure or system would avoid or mitigate an organizational conflict of interest.
Offeror shall assure that any consultants and/or Subcontractors identified in its proposal which will perform part or all of any resulting subcontract submit the same information as required above, either as part of the Offeror’s proposal or directly to Buyer, prior to the time and date set forth for the receipt of proposals, including identification of the solicitation number and the (Offeror's) proposal to which it relates.
Offeror shall assure that each of its chief officers or directors, if any, who will be directly involved in the actual performance of the subcontract, submit such information.
Offeror shall promptly provide to Buyer information concerning any changes, including additions, in its relevant facts reported, that occur between the time of submission of its proposal and the award of a subcontract or the time the Offeror is notified that it is no longer being considered for an award.
Buyer will review the information submitted and may require additional relevant information or certifications from the
Offeror. All such information, and any other relevant information known to Buyer , will be used to determine whether an award to the Offeror may create an organizational conflict of interest with respect to the Offeror's (1) bias caused by financial, contractual, organizational, or other interests which relate to the work to be performed under the subcontract, resulting in Offeror being unable to render impartial, technically sound, and objective assistance or advice, or (2)obtaining an unfair competitive advantage over other parties. If Buyer determines a conflict exists which would require some action to mitigate an actual or potential conflict of interest that would otherwise represent an unacceptable risk to Buyer, it may, at its sole discretion: (1) impose appropriate terms or conditions necessary to avoid or mitigate the conflict, (2) disqualify the offer, or (3) proceed with an award despite the conflict.
Offeror refusal to submit the representation and/or to provide the disclosure or any additional information requested by
Buyer may result in disqualification of the Offeror for an award. Misrepresentation of material facts or other reported information may also result in disqualification. If any such misrepresentation is discovered following award, Buyer may terminate the contract for default or seek other remedies including actions pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1001.
Depending on the nature of the subcontract activities, Offeror may, because of the existence of possible organizational conflicts of interest, propose to exclude specific kinds of work from the statement of work contained in the original solicitation, unless the solicitation specifically prohibits such exclusion. Any proposed exclusion may be considered by
Buyer in the evaluation of proposals but may ultimately determine the proposal to be unacceptable.
No work shall be performed, and Buyer will not authorize work to begin, until representations and disclosure information has been evaluated. Buyer may also, at its option, permit missing representations or disclosure information to be provided by an Offeror at any time during the pre-award process.
In lieu of or in addition to the above and/or when requested by Buyer, Offeror shall provide a certification similar to the following, altered only to reflect the relevant facts:
ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
I hereby certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no facts exist relevant to any past, present, or currently planned interest or activity (financial, contractual, personal, organizational, or otherwise) that relate to the proposed work; and bear on whether I and the Offeror have a possible conflict of interest with respect to being able to render impartial, technically sound, and objective assistance or advice, or being given unfair competitive advantage.

(a) In the Subcontractor’s preceding fiscal year, the Subcontractor received:
(i) 80% or more of its annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts), loans, grants (and subgrants) and cooperative agreements, and other forms of Federal financial assistance; and
(ii) $25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts), loans, grants (and subgrants) and cooperative agreements, and other forms of Federal financial assistance; and
(b) The public does not have access to information about the compensation of the executives through period reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 USC 78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
If a Subcontractor in the previous tax year had gross income from all sources under $300,000, the prime contractor does not need to report awards for that subcontractor.

Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System. The public may view first-tier subcontract award data at http://usaspending.gov.

(3) Earnings for services under non-equity incentive plans. This does not include group life, health, hospitalization or medical reimbursement plans that do not discriminate in favor of executives and are available generally to all salaried employees.
(4) Change in pension value. This is the change in present value of defined benefit and actuarial pension plans.
(5) Above-market earnings on deferred compensation which is not tax-qualified.
(6) Other compensation, if the aggregate value of all such other compensation (e.g., severance, termination payments, value of life insurance paid on behalf of the employee, perquisites, or property) for the executive exceeds $10,000.
