6.0 ORGANIZATION CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

6.1 The term "Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) is defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.1;

also, see FAR 9.502 (c). An "OCI exists when a Contractor would face an actual or potential conflict of interest if it worked on a 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:

a. Management support services;

b. Consultant or other professional services;

c. Contractor performance of or assistance in technical evaluations; or Systems engineering and technical direction work performed by a Contractor that does not have overall contractual responsibility for development or production.

6.2 The Contracting Officer will review and analyze the PWS under this contract prior to issuance of a Request for

Proposal and determine that no OCI has been identified, potential or otherwise. However, the contractor is encouraged to make a preliminary disclosure to the Contracting Officer, prior to the due date for receipt of Proposals, of any OCI issues the Contractor has identified. Such preliminary disclosure will allow the Contracting Officer more time to assess both the potential OCI and the Contractor 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. 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 will take the necessary action to delete that requirement 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 applicable contract, restrict the Contractors future participation in any resulting program managed system acquisition action(s).

6.3 Title 10, US Code Section 2399 prohibits the involvement of a defense contractor in the operational test and evaluation of its own systems and equipment. Consequently, all parties must be particularly sensitive to potential, actual, or perceived organizational conflicts of interest where system contractors are or appear to be involved in the operational testing and evaluation of their own equipment or systems, including involvement as a test support contractor. Such involvement is strictly prohibited. The Contractor acknowledges that it is familiar with Title 10 U.S.C. Section 2399 and FAR 9.5 and agrees that it will avoid conflicts of interest and, to the maximum possible extent, the appearance of conflict of interest, in accordance with the principles set forth in the Statute and FAR. The contractor also acknowledges that statutory operational testing and evaluation conflicts of interest arising under 10 U.S.C. 2399 and Army Regulation 73-1, paragraph 5-6, may not be mitigated or "firewalled" using the FAR 9.5 procedures.

``Reparable'' means an item, typically in unserviceable condition, furnished to the Contractor for maintenance, repair, modification, or overhaul.
