1.6.17 Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Contractor and subcontractor personnel performing work under this contract may receive, have access to, or participate in the development of proprietary or source selection information (e.g., cost or pricing information, budget information or analyses, specifications or work statements, etc.) or perform evaluation services which may create a current or subsequent Organizational Conflict of Interests (OCI) as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5. The Contractor shall notify the KO immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and shall promptly submit a plan to the KO to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The Contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the KO and in the event the KO unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the KO may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.

(b) Mitigation plans. The Contractor shall review its OCI mitigation procedures to avoid any potential OCI created by performance under this contract. The Contractor shall submit the reviewed OCI mitigation plan to the Contracting Officer no later than thirty (30) days after award. The [insert RCO/location here] reserves the right to reject a mitigation plan, if in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, such a plan is not in the best interests of the [insert RCO/location here]or the Army. Additionally, after award, the [insert RCO/location here] will review OCI mitigation plans, as needed, in the event of changes in the vendor community due to mergers, consolidations, or any unanticipated circumstances that may create an unacceptable organizational conflict of interest.

(c) Potential Organizational Conflict of Interest. The following provides examples of situations where mitigation plans may or may not be required. These examples are not intended to be all inclusive.

(1) Unequal access to information. Access to "nonpublic information" as part of the performance of an Army contract could provide the Contractor a competitive advantage in a later competition for another Army contract. Such an advantage could easily be perceived as unfair by a competing vendor who is not http://www.defenseimagery.mil/products/dodimagery/commercialuse.html

U.S. Southern Command given similar access to the relevant information. If the requirements of the Army procurement anticipate the successful vendor may have access to nonpublic information, the successful vendor should be required to submit and negotiate an acceptable mitigation plan. Alternatively, the "nonpublic information" may be provided to all vendors.

(2) Biased ground rules. A Contractor in the course of performance of an Army contract has in some fashion established important "ground rules" for another Army contract, where the same Contractor may be a competitor. For example, a Contractor may have drafted the statement of work, specifications, or evaluation criteria of a future Army procurement. The primary concern of the Army in this case is that a Contractor so situated could slant key aspects of procurement in its own favor, to the unfair disadvantage of competing vendors. If the requirements of the Army procurement anticipate the Contractor may have been in a position to establish important ground rules, including but not limited to those described herein, the Contractor should be required to submit and negotiate an acceptable mitigation plan.

(3) Impaired objectivity. A Contractor in the course of performance of an Army contract is placed in a situation of providing assessment and evaluation findings over itself, or another business division, or subsidiary of the same corporation, or other entity with which it has a significant financial relationship.

The concern in this case is that the Contractor's ability to render impartial advice to the Army could appear to be undermined by the Contractor's financial or other business relationship to the entity whose work product is being assessed or evaluated. In these situations, a "walling off" of lines of communication may well be insufficient to remove the perception that the objectivity of the Contractor has been tainted. If the requirements of the Army procurement indicate that the Contractor may be in a position to provide evaluations and assessments of itself or corporate siblings, or other entity with which it has a significant financial relationship, the affected Contractor should provide a mitigation plan that includes recusal by the vendor from the affected contract work. Such recusal might include divestiture of the work to a third party vendor.

(d) The Contractor shall provide information which concisely describes all relevant facts concerning any past, present, or currently planned interest (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise), relating to the work to be performed and bearing on whether the offeror or Contractor has a possible OCI.

(e) If the Contractor does not disclose any relevant facts concerning an OCI, the Contractor, by signing the contract, warrants that to its best knowledge and belief no such facts exist relevant to possible OCI.

(f) Remedies for nondisclosure. The following are possible remedies should a Contractor refuse to disclose, or misrepresent, any information regarding a potential OCI:

(1) Refusal to provide adequate information may result in disqualification for award.

(2) Termination of the contract, if the nondisclosure or misrepresentation is discovered after award.

(3) Disqualification from subsequent SOUTHCOM HAP contracts.

(4) Other remedial action as may be permitted or provided by law or in the resulting contract.
