L. 93-579), or data which has not been released or otherwise made available to the public; the Contractor agrees that without prior written approval from the Contracting Officer it shall not: (a) use such in-formation for any private purpose unless the information has been released or otherwise made available to the public; (b) compete for work for the Department based on such information for a period of six months after either the completion of this contract or until such information is released or otherwise made available to the public, whichever occurs first; (c) submit an unsolicited proposal to the Government which is based on such in-formation until one year after such information is released or otherwise made available to the public; or (d) re-lease such information unless such information has previously been released or otherwise made available to the public by the Department.

(ii) In addition, the Contractor agrees that to the extent it receives or is given access to proprietary data, data protected by the Privacy Act of 1974, or other confidential or privileged technical, busi-ness, or financial information under this contract, it shall protect this information from unauthorized use or dis-closure for as long as it remains proprietary and refrain from using the information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished.

(iii) The Contractor shall have, subject to patent, data, and security provisions of this contract; the right to use technical data it first produces under this contract.

(c) Disclosure after award.

(1) The Contractor agrees that if an actual or potential organizational conflict of interest is dis-covered after award, the Contractor will make a full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. This dis-closure shall include a description of actions which the Contractor has taken or proposes to take to avoid or mit-igate the actual or potential conflict.

(2) If the Contractor was aware of a potential organizational conflict of interest prior to award or discovered an actual or potential conflict after award and did not disclose or misrepresented relevant informa-tion to the Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate the contract for default.

(d) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (d), in all subcontracts of any tier which involve performance or work of the type specified in subparagraph (b)(1) of this clause or access to information of the type covered in subparagraph (b)(2) of this clause. The Contractor shall obtain for the Department an Organizational Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement or Representation from each intended subcontractor or consultant. The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract nor engage any consultant unless the Contracting Officer shall have first notified the Contractor that there is little or no likeli-hood that an organizational conflict of interest exists or that despite the existence of a conflict of interest the award is in the best interest of the Government.

(e) Remedies. For breach of any of the above restrictions or for nondisclosure or misrepresentation of any rel-evant facts required to be disclosed concerning this contract, the Government may terminate the contract for de-fault, disqualify the Contractor for subsequent related contractual efforts and pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract.

(f) Waiver. Requests for waiver under this clause shall be directed in writing to the Contracting Officer and shall include a full description of the requested waiver and the reasons in support thereof. If it is determined to be in the best interests of the Government, the Contracting Officer shall grant such a waiver in writing.

(g) Modifications. Prior to any contract modification (except for the exercise of options) which (1) modifies the statement of work to add new work, (2) significantly increases the period of performance, or (3) changes the parties to the contract, the Contractor shall submit a current Organizational Conflict of Interest Certification and Disclosure.

K-005 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST CERTIFICATION AND DISCLOSURE

(a) The offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that it is / is not aware of any information bear-ing on the existence of any potential organizational conflict of interest, as defined in FAR 9.501, which relates to the work to be performed pursuant to this solicitation. As used herein, "offeror" means the proposer or any of its affiliates or proposed consultants or subcontractors of any tier.

(b) If the offeror is aware of any such information, the offeror shall provide a disclosure statement as part of its proposal which describes in a concise manner all relevant facts concerning any past, present, or planned interest (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) relating to the work to be performed hereunder and bearing on whether the offeror may have a potential organizational conflict of interest with respect to (1) being able to render impartial, technically sound, and objective assistance or advice, or (2) being given an unfair competitive advantage. The offeror may also provide relevant facts that show how its organizational structure and/or man-agement systems limit its knowledge of possible organizational conflicts of interest relating to other divisions or sections of the organization and how that structure or system would avoid or mitigate such organizational con-flict.

(c) The Government will review the statement submitted and may require additional relevant information from the offeror. All such information, and any other relevant information known to the Government, will be used to determine whether an award to the offeror may create an organizational conflict of interest. If an organizational conflict of interest is found to exist, the Government may

(1) impose appropriate conditions which avoid such conflict,

(2) disqualify the offeror, or

(3) determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of the United States to contract with the of-feror by including appropriate conditions mitigating such conflict in the resultant contract.

(d) Offerors should refer to FAR Subpart 9.5 for policies and procedures for avoiding, neutralizing, or mitigat-ing organizational conflicts of interest.

(e) If the Contracting Officer determines that a potential conflict exists, the prospective Contractor shall not re-ceive an award unless the conflict can be avoided or otherwise resolved through the inclusion of a special con-tract clause or other appropriate means. The terms of any special clause are subject to negotiation.
