H.15 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

(a) It is understood and agreed that some of the work required hereunder may place the Contractor, or its personnel or its subcontractors or their personnel (hereinafter referred to collectively as "Contractor"), in the position of having a potential personal or organizational conflict of interest (OCI), i.e., because of other activities or relationships with other persons, (1) the Contractor is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice; or (2) the Contractor objectivity in performing the Contract is or might be impaired; or (3) the Contractor may receive an unfair competitive advantage; or (4) the Contractor may have a financial or other personal interest which would or potentially would impair his/her objectivity and/or from which he/she would improperly benefit. Further discussion of OCIs may be found in MMAR 9.5.

(b) The performance/actions of personnel under this Contract will be imputed to the Contractor (or subcontractor) by whom they are employed or retained, and the performance/actions of any subcontractor will be imputed to the Contractor, unless the Contractor, on a case-by-case basis, can demonstrate otherwise and satisfy the Contracting Officer that such imputation is unreasonable.

(c) If it is discovered that the Contractor engaged in any activities which constitute a potential or actual conflict without having first obtained the Contracting Officer's approval to undertake such activities; or if it is subsequently discovered that, notwithstanding the Contracting Officer's authorization to undertake the activity based on his/her initial determination that no significant potential conflict existed or appeared to exist, a conflict did, in fact exist or http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/lsdba.htm arise, restrictions, as permitted by MMAR 9.5, on the Contractor future activities may be placed unilaterally by the Contracting Officer for this contract or the Contracting Officer for such other contract as may be involved in the conflict, and other remedies (including termination of this contract for default, debarment or suspension, and those permitted by the clauses of this contract entitled "Cancellation, Rescission and Recovery of Funds for Illegal or Improper Activity" (MMAR 52.203-8) and "Price or Fee Adjustment for Illegal or Improper Activity" [MMAR 52.203- 10]), may be taken by GPO.
