II CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Written Identification of Potential Organization Conflicts Of Interest.

The term “Organizational Conflicts of Interest” (OCI) is defined in part 2.1 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR): see also FAR 9.502 (c). For this solicitation, “OCI” exists when a Contractor would face an actual or potential conflict of interest if it worked on the planned contract, due either to its other business interests or to the nature of the effort to be performed. However, organizational conflicts of interest are more likely to occur in contracts involving:

(1) Management support services;

(2) Consultant or other professional services;

(3) Contractor performance of or assistance in technical evaluations; or

(4) Systems engineering and technical direction work performed by a Contractor that does not have overall contractual responsibility for development or production.

b. The Contracting Officer has reviewed and analyzed the procurement under this solicitation and has not identified any OCI issue, potential or otherwise. However, Offerors are encouraged to make a preliminary disclosure to the Contracting Officer, prior to the due date for receipt of proposals, of any OCI issues the Offeror has identified. Such preliminary disclosure will allow the Contracting Officer more time to assess both the potential OCI and the Offeror’s proposed strategy to negate or mitigate the OCI. This assessment may be crucial, since per FAR 9.504(e) the Contracting Officer may not award the contract to a Contractor with an OCI that cannot be negated or mitigated.

c. If the Contractor demonstrates to the Contracting Officer that there may be a possible conflict of interest arising out of an existing contract, the Contracting Officer shall take the necessary action to delete that requirement from this contract and/or mitigate any conflict of interest that may be present. The Contractor agrees that the Government or an authorized representative may, up to three years after acceptance of all programmatic documentation to be delivered under this contract, restrict the Contractor’s future participation in any resulting program managed system acquisition action(s).

III. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
