C.12 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

(a) Determination. The Government has determined that this effort may result in an actual or potential conflict of interest, or may provide one or more offerors with the potential to attain an unfair competitive advantage. The nature of the conflict of interest and the limitation on future contracting is described below:

The nature of this conflict is based on the premise that contractors who provide USAID Services in a Program Management Support or Consulting capacity such as developing USAID-specific business requirements & providing impact analysis may give rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest on contracts where the contractor is providing services in an operational support capacity. Services provided in a Program Management or Consulting capacity may have a direct impact on contracts of an operational support nature. Likewise, services performed on the operational support contract could impair a contractor’s capacity to provide impartial advice on the Program Management Support or Consulting Services contract. These conflicting roles could result in the inability to render impartial or objective assistance or bias a contractor’s judgment resulting in an impaired objectivity Organizational Conflict of Interest. Per FAR 9.505-3, the Offeror must ensure proper safeguards are in place that will ensure objectivity to protect the Government’s interests.
