CERTIFICATE FOR PERSONNEL PARTICIPATING IN SOURCE SELECTION CONCERNING NONDISCLOSURE, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, AND RULES OF CONDUCT

Name: ______________________ Organization:______________________

Title:________________________ Source Selection:____________________

1. I acknowledge that I have been selected to participate in the source selection identified above. I certify that I will not knowingly disclose any contractor bid or proposal or source selection information directly or indirectly to any person other than a person authorized by the head of the agency or the contracting officer to receive such information. I understand that unauthorized disclosure of such information may subject me to substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties, including fines, imprisonment, and loss of employment under applicable laws and regulations.

2. To the best of my knowledge, I certify that neither I nor my spouse nor my dependent children, nor members of my household, nor personnel with whom I am seeking employment have any direct or indirect financial interest in any of the firms submitting proposals, or their proposed subcontractors or have any other beneficial interest in such firm except as fully disclosed on an attachment to this certification.

3. I certify that I will observe the following rules of conduct:

a. I will not ask for, demand, exact, solicit, seek, accept, receive, or agree to receive, directly or indirectly, any money, gratuity, or other thing of value from any officer, employee, representative, agent, or consultant of any competing offeror for this acquisition. I will advise my family that the acceptance of any such gratuity may be imputed to me as a violation, and must therefore be avoided.

b. I will not discuss evaluation of source selection matters with any unauthorized individuals (including Government personnel), even after contract award, without specific prior approval from proper authority.

c. I understand that my obligations under this certification are of a continuing nature. If at any time during the source selection process, I receive a contact from a competing contractor concerning employment or other business opportunity, the offer of a gift from a competing contractor, or I encounter circumstances where my participation might result in a real, apparent, or potential conflict of interest, I will immediately report the circumstances to the Source Selection Authority.
