- Description
- The purpose of this Amendment One to Solicitation GS00M02PDR0010 is to add the following provision to the Statement of Work. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT OF WORK - ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT SOLICITATION # GS00M02PDR0010 GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION OFFICE OF CITIZEN SERVICES AND COMMUNICATIONS (OCSC/FIRSTGOV) CONFLICT OF INTEREST The term "organizational conflict of interest" means that the Contractor (which term hereinafter shall be deemed to include its chief executives, directors, any consultants or subcontractors utilized under this contract other than a vendor selling incidental material) has interests which: (a) may diminish its capacity to give impartial, technically sound, objective assistance and advice in performing this contract, (b) may otherwise result in a biased work product under this contract, or (c) may result in an unfair competitive advantage to itself or others. The Contractor represents that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, it does not have any organizational conflict of interest, as defined in the previous paragraph. If, after award, the Contractor discovers an organizational conflict of interest with respect to this contract, it shall make an immediate and full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. The disclosure shall include identification of the conflict, the manner in which it arose and a description of the action the Contractor has taken or proposes to take, eliminate or neutralize the conflict. The Government may, however, terminate the contract. In the event that the Contractor was aware of an organizational conflict of interest prior to award of this contract and did not disclose the conflict to the Contracting Officer or if the Contractor becomes aware of an organizational conflict of interest after award of this contract and does not disclose the conflict of interest within ten (10) working days of becoming aware of such conflict, the Government may terminate the contract and the Contractor shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any costs incurred in performing this contract or payment of any fee thereunder. Further, such costs shall not be allocable or chargeable, directly or indirectly, to any other contract with the Government. The rights and remedies of the Government provided in this clause shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies of the Government provided by law or under this contract. It is recognized by the parties that, in the course of the Contractor's activities, its personnel may require access to or be given custody of certain information (whether in its original or derived form) submitted to the Government on a confidential basis (such as other Government contractors' business practices, designs, mission or operation concepts, sketches, management policies, cost and operating expenses, technical data and similar information) during the performance of the contract. The Contractor agrees that its employees with access will use and examine this information exclusively in performance of the work required under this contract and for not other purpose whatsoever. The Contractor agrees to indoctrinate all personnel who will have access to or custody of the information as to the nature of the confidential relationship under which the Government received such information and shall stress that the information shall not be disclosed to any other party or to contractor personnel who do not have a need to know the contents thereof for the performance of this contract. All personnel shall be informed that they shall not engage in any other action, venture or employment wherein this information will be used for the profit or interest of any party. Contractor personnel may be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement prepared by the Government prior to their receipt of any company proprietary or sensitive source selection data. In cases where Contractor personnel receive company proprietary data directly from a company in the course of performing this contract, the Contractor, the Contractor's on-site personnel, and the company providing the data should enter into an agreement prohibiting the unauthorized use of the information for as long as the information remains proprietary. The Contracting Officer should be furnished copies of these non-disclosure agreements, prior to the Contractor?s review of the company's proprietary data. The Contractor agrees that during performance of the contract and for a period of three (3) years after the completion of performance of this contract, the Contractor, including all divisions thereof, and any affiliate of the Contractor, any joint venture involving the contractor, any entity into or with which it may subsequently merge or affiliate, or any other successor or assign of the Contractor, shall not (a) supply information or material received from this contract to any firm participating in or having a known prospective interest in the subject matter areas for which the sensitive information described in the first paragraph (above) was initially submitted, nor enter into any contractual relationship which would affect or appear to affect the equity and integrity of its recommendations; (b) furnish to the United States Government, either as a prime contractor, subcontractor or teaming partner, any component of any system for which the sensitive information described in the first paragraph (above) was initially submitted, that it is not currently obligated to deliver for defense purposes. The Contractor may request in writing that the Contracting Officer grant relief from the provisions of this clause in a situation representing such action.
