Based on this policy, if at any time during the performance of this contract the Contractor knows of any Conflict-of-Interest situation affecting the organization, any of its officers or Key Persons working under this contract, has reason to believe that a conflict of interest situation might arise, or is made aware of an actual or potential conflict of interest situation:

(a) The Contractor shall immediately provide to the Contracting Officer a written statement which describes in a concise manner all past, present or planned organizational, financial, contractual or other interest(s) with that organization regulated by BEP, or with that organization or individual whose interests may be substantially affected by Departmental activities, and which is related to the work under this contract.

(b) The Contractor shall describe in detail when it became aware of the actual or potential conflict of interest, what action the organization has taken or proposes to take to mitigate and / or rectify the situation, and why it believes, in light of the interest(s) identified in (a) above, that performance of the contract can still be accomplished in an impartial and objective manner.

(c) In the absence of any relevant interest identified in (a) above, the Contractor shall certify in its statement that to its best knowledge and belief no affiliation exists relevant to possible conflicts of interest. The Contractor must obtain the same information from any potential Subcontractors prior to award of a subcontract.

(d) The Contracting Officer shall review the statement submitted and may require additional relevant information from the Contractor. All such information, and any other relevant information known to BEP, shall be used to determine whether a conflict of interest exists or a situation exists that may create a conflict of interest.

The Personnel Security Division shall inform the COR of all access denials. The reason for the denial shall not be provided to the company contact in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974.

Reinvestigation may be required throughout the life of the contract to adhere to Government security requirements.

H.14 Contractor Clearance through U.S. Customs and Border Protection:
