1.6.12.2. Contractor Personnel Appearance and Performance: It is essential that all Contractor personnel meet the highest standards of professionalism and personal integrity. The Contractor shall ensure their personnel do not perform work under the influence of alcohol, illegal prescribed drugs or any other incapacitating agents. Contractor personnel shall be neatly groomed and dressed in business casual attire to present a professional appearance at all times.

1.6.13 Organizational Conflict of Interest:

1.6.13.1. Purpose. To aid in ensuring that:

1.6.13.1.1. The Contractor does not obtain an unfair competitive advantage by establishing the ground rules for a future competition;

1.6.13.1.2. The Contractor's objectivity and judgment are not biased because of its present or future interests (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) which relate to work performed under this contract; and

1.6.13.1.3. The Contractor does not obtain an unfair competitive advantage by virtue of its access to non-public or proprietary information belonging to others.

1.6.13.2. Definitions.

1.6.13.2.1. The term “Contractor” herein used in section 1.6.13., Organizational Conflict of Interest, means: (a) the organization (hereinafter referred to as "it" or "its") entering into this agreement with the Government; (b) all business organizations with which it may merge, join or affiliate now or in the future and in any manner whatsoever, or which hold or may obtain, by purchase or otherwise, direct or indirect control of it; (c) it’s parent organization, if any and any of its present or future subsidiaries, associates, affiliates, or holding companies, and; (d) any organization or enterprise over which it has direct or indirect control now or in the future.

1.6.13.2.2. The term "proprietary information" for purposes of section 1.6.13., Organizational Conflict of Interest, means any information considered so valuable by its owners that it is held secret by them and their licensees.

Information furnished voluntarily by the owner without limitations on its use, or which is available without restrictions from other sources, is not considered proprietary.

1.6.13.3. Organizational Conflicts of Interest Examples. The following examples illustrate situations in which organizational conflicts of interest may arise. These examples are not all inclusive.

1.6.13.3.1. Biased Ground Rules. This type of conflict may arise in situations where a company sets the ground rules for a future competition. For example, when a Contractor develops requirements then competes to provide products or services to satisfy those requirements, thus obtaining a competitive advantage.

1.6.13.3.2. Impaired Objectivity. This type of conflict may exist where a Contractor’s obligations under a contract require objectivity, but another role of the Contractor casts doubt on its ability to be truly objective. An example of this type of conflict is where a Contractor’s work under one contract entails evaluating itself, its affiliates, or its competitors under a separate contract.

1.6.13.3.3. Unequal Access to Information. This type of conflict may arise when a Contractor has access to nonpublic or proprietary information as part of its performance under a contract that gives it an unfair advantage in a competition for a later contract.

1.6.13.4. General Constraints. The provisions of FAR Subpart 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest, concerning organizational conflicts of interest govern this contract. Potential conflicts may exist in accordance with FAR 9.505-1, Providing Systems Engineering and Technical Direction, through 9.505-4, Obtaining Access to Proprietary Information. In this regard, the Contractor is responsible for identifying any actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest to the KO that arise as the result of performance under this contract. To avoid or mitigate a potential conflict related to performance under this contract, the KO will impose appropriate constraints such as the constraints discussed below. Since it is impossible to foresee all of the circumstances that might give rise to organizational conflicts of interest, the constraints discussed below are not all inclusive and the KO may impose constraints other than, or in addition to, the constraints listed below.

1.6.13.4.1. The Contractor agrees that if it provides, under a contract or task order or delivery order, systems engineering and technical guidance for systems and programs, but does not have overall contractual responsibility, it will not be allowed to be awarded a contract or task or delivery order to supply the system or any of its major components or be a subcontractor or consultant to a supplier of the system or any of its major components (FAR 9.505-1).

1.6.13.4.2. The Contractor agrees that if it prepares complete specifications for non-developmental items or assists in the preparation of work statements for a system or services under a contract or task order or delivery order, it will not be allowed to furnish these items, either as a prime Contractor, a subcontractor or as a consultant (FAR 9.505-2).

1.6.13.4.3. The Contractor agrees that it will neither evaluate nor advise the Government with regard to its own products or activities. The Contractor will objectively evaluate or advise the Government concerning products or activities of any prospective competitors (FAR 9.505-3).

1.6.13.4.4. The Contractor agrees that if it gains access to proprietary information of other companies, it will exercise diligent effort to protect such proprietary information from unauthorized use or disclosure (FAR 9.505-4).

In addition, the Contractor agrees to protect the proprietary information of other organizations disclosed to the Contractor during performance of this contract with the same caution that a reasonably prudent Contractor would use to safeguard highly valuable property. The Contractor also agrees that if it gains access to the proprietary information of other companies it will enter into written agreements with the other companies to protect their information from unauthorized use or disclosure for as long as it remains proprietary and to refrain from using the information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished. The Contractor shall provide copies of such agreements to the KO.

1.6.13.4.5. If the Contractor, in the performance of this contract, obtains access to plans, policies, reports, studies, financial plans, data or other information of any nature which has not been released or otherwise made available to the public, the Contractor agrees that without prior written approval of the KO, it shall not: (a) use such information for any private purpose unless the information has been released or otherwise made available to the public, or (b) release such information unless release is otherwise authorized under the contract or such information has previously been released or otherwise made available to the public by the Government.

1.6.13.5. Non-Disclosure Agreements. The Contractor shall obtain from each employee who has access to proprietary information under this contract, a written agreement which shall in substance provide that such employee shall not, during his/her employment by the Contractor or thereafter, disclose to others or use for their benefit, proprietary information received in connection with the work under this contract. The Contractor will educate its employees regarding the restrictions imposed by FAR 9.505-4, so that they will not use or disclose proprietary information or data generated or acquired in the performance of this contract, except as provided herein.

1.6.13.6. Training. The Contractor shall effectively educate its employees, through formal training, company policy, information directives and procedures, in an awareness of the legal provisions of FAR Subpart 9.5 and its underlying policy and principles, so that each employee will know and understand the provisions of that Subpart and the absolute necessity of safeguarding information from anyone other than the Contractor's employees who have a need to know, and the U.S. Government.

1.6.13.7. Subcontracts. The Contractor agrees that it will include the provisions in paragraphs 1.6.13.4., 1.6.13.5., and 1.6.13.6., above and this paragraph in consulting agreements, teaming agreements, and subcontracts of all tiers, which involve access to information or the performance of services described in paragraph 1.6.13.4., above. The use of section 1.6.13., in such agreements, shall be read by substituting the word "consultant" or "subcontractor" for the word "Contractor" whenever the latter appears.

1.6.13.8. Additional Constraints. Reserved.

1.6.13.9. Conflicts Involving Future Procurements. The award of this Contract, Government tasking or acquiescence in the Contractor’s performance of services hereunder shall not constitute or be interpreted as a determination that the Contractor is eligible to participate in future procurements, developmental efforts, implementation efforts, or related activities. Only the KOs for such efforts, applying the rules, principles, and procedures of FAR Subpart 9.5, have the authority to determine whether a conflict exists, in connection with such procurements.

1.6.13.10. Representations and Disclosures.

1.6.13.10.1. The Contractor represents that it has disclosed to the KO, prior to award of this contract, all facts relevant to the existence or potential existence of organizational conflict of interest as that term is used in FAR Subpart 9.5.

1.6.13.10.2. The Contractor represents that if it discovers an organizational conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest after award of this contract, a prompt and full disclosure shall be made in writing to the KO. This disclosure shall include a description of the action the Contractor has taken or proposes to take in order to avoid or mitigate such conflict.

1.6.13.11. Remedies and Waiver.

1.6.13.11.1. For breach of any of the above restrictions or for non-disclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant facts required to be disclosed concerning this contract, the Government may terminate this contract for default, disqualify the contractor for subsequent related contractual efforts, and pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract. If, however, in compliance with section 1.6.13., the Contractor discovers and promptly reports an organizational conflict of interest (or the potential thereof) subsequent to contract award, the KO may terminate this contract for convenience, if such termination is deemed to be in the best interest of the Government.

1.6.13.11.2. The parties recognize that this clause has potential effects, which will survive the performance of this contract, and that it is impossible to foresee each circumstance to which it might be applied in the future.

Accordingly, the Contractor may at any time seek a waiver from the cognizant KO by submitting a full written description of the requested waiver and the reasons in support thereof (FAR 9.503).

1.6.14. Phase-In/Phase-Out Periods:

1.6.14.1. Phase-In: To minimize any decreases in productivity and to prevent possible negative impact on additional services, the Contractor shall have all key personnel on board, during the two-week phase-in period. During the phase-in period, the Contractor shall become familiar with performance requirements, in order to commence full performance of services on the start of the base period of performance. The Contractor shall obtain their CAC or other form of government identifications, any specific government training, conducting inventory and transfer of GFP/GFE/GFM during the phase-in period.

1.6.14.2. Phase-Out: Prior to the completion of this contract, an observation period shall occur, at which time team management personnel of the incoming Contractor may observe operations. This will allow for orderly turnover of facilities, equipment, and records and will help to ensure continuity of services. The outgoing Contractor is ultimately responsible for performing full services IAW the contract, during the phase-out period, and shall not defer any requirements for the purpose of avoiding responsibility or of transferring, such responsibility to the succeeding

Contractor. The outgoing Contractor shall fully cooperate with the succeeding Contractor and the Government, so as not to interfere with their work or duties.

1.6.14.2.1. To minimize any decreases in productivity and to prevent possible negative impacts on additional services, the outgoing Contractor shall have all personnel on board during the phase-out period. The outgoing Contractor shall be prepared to transition the work load to the newly selected Contractor during the phase in period, which will occur at the end of the period of performance of the contractual effort.

1.6.14.2.2. Phase-Out Plan. The incoming Contractor shall develop a phase-out plan to affect a smooth and orderly transfer of contract responsibility to a successor. The plan shall fully describe the Contractor’s approach to the following issues, at a minimum: Inventories and turn-over of government property; removal of Contractor property;

reconciliation of all property accounts; turn-in of excess property; data and information transfer; clean-up of Contractor work areas;; and any other actions required to ensure continuity of operations. The Contractor shall provide the plan to the COR thirty (30) days before the phase-out period commences.
