About this file
This document is an attachment containing a federal contracting provision and certification form for organizational conflicts of interest related to solicitation 36C25526Q0259 for Interoperative Neuromonitoring Services.
The provision, 852.209-70 (October 2020), is required for all VA healthcare contracts and mandates that offerors disclose any past, present, or currently planned financial, contractual, or organizational interests that could create conflicts of interest or provide unfair competitive advantages. Offerors must provide detailed statements about their own interests as well as those of any identified consultants and subcontractors who will perform work under the solicitation. The Contracting Officer may disqualify an offeror if an organizational conflict of interest is identified and cannot be mitigated through contract terms, or may request a waiver under FAR 9.503 if award is deemed in the Government's best interest. Non-disclosure or misrepresentation of conflicts at the time of offer or through subsequent contract modifications may result in contract termination at no expense to the Government. Appendix A provides a certification form that offerors must complete, selecting either a statement certifying no conflicts exist for listed key personnel or providing an attached statement describing all relevant facts concerning any actual or potential conflicts of interest and mitigation measures.

Attachment 5. 36C25526Q0259 Interoperative Neuromonitoring Services
852.209-70. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (OCT 2020)
All healthcare contracts require response to the following provision as prescribed in VAAR
809.507-1(b). Please use the form in APPENDIX A to provide response.
ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (OCT 2020)
(a) It is in the best interest of the Government to avoid situations which might create an organizational conflict of interest or where the Offeror's performance of work under the contract may provide the Contractor with an unfair competitive advantage. The term 'organizational conflict of interest' means that because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a person is 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 the person has an unfair competitive advantage.
(b) The Offeror shall provide a statement with its offer which describes, in a concise manner, all relevant facts concerning any past, present, or currently planned interest (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) or actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest relating to the services to be provided under this solicitation. The Offeror shall also provide statements with its offer containing the same information for any consultants and subcontractors identified in its proposal and which will provide services under the solicitation. The Offeror may also provide relevant facts that show how its organizational and/or management system or other actions would avoid or mitigate any actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest.
(c) Based on this information and any other information solicited or obtained by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer may determine that an organizational conflict of interest exists which would warrant disqualifying the Contractor for award of the contract unless the organizational conflict of interest can be mitigated to the Contracting Officer's satisfaction by negotiating terms and conditions of the contract to that effect. If the conflict of interest cannot be mitigated and if the Contracting Officer finds that it is in the best interest of the United States to award the contract, the Contracting Officer shall request a waiver in accordance with FAR 9.503.
(d) Nondisclosure or misrepresentation of actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest at the time of the offer or arising as a result of a modification to the contract, may result in the termination of the contract at no expense to the Government.
