The resulting contract will include a "Limitation of Future Contracting". FAR 9.5 prohibits the Contractor from reviewing its own offers, products, or services, or those of its affiliate(s) or competitor(s) without proper safeguards to ensure objectivity in a manner that protects the Government's interests. Given the mission and safety assurance services contemplated under this Contract, it is possible a Contractor with other NASA contracts could have an impermissible Organizational Conflict of Interest resulting from impaired objectivity. To the extent a future NASA solicitation seeks products or services that are subject to review in performance of this contract, the Contractor will be ineligible to provide those products or services unless the Contractor submits a specific plan fully mitigating the OCI and such plan is approved by the SMAS II Contracting Officer.

NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html .
