OCI CONSIDERATIONS: The acquisition and/or performance of this contract under this forthcoming solicitation may create actual or potential conflicts of interest (OCIs) for Offerors and their prospective Teammate/Subcontractors. In assessing and addressing OCI, MDA will follow the guidance in FAR 9.5, DFARS 209.5 and MDA OCI policy. Offerors are responsible for ensuring that they and their proposed Teammate/Subcontractors are not restricted from participating in this solicitation due to an OCI caused by any MDA-funded contract or subcontract, Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) related contracts or subcontracts, Advisory and Assistance Services/ Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance contracts (e.g. MiDAESS), or other significant non-BMDS related business relationships with firms doing business with or in support of MDA. The draft RFP/solicitation includes a clause in Section H-09, Organizational Conflict of Interest (March 2010) that establishes restrictions and obligations to prevent and resolve OCIs. Consistent with Government Accountability Office (GAO) and court decisions, it is MDA's policy that impaired objectivity bias OCIs cannot be adequately mitigated through firewalls and separate corporate divisions. A mitigation plan that includes firewalls and separate corporate divisions or organizational structures will not resolve impaired objectivity OCIs. MDA does not intend to grant waivers of bias-type (i.e., biased ground rules and impaired objectivity) as part of this procurement process, although the Government reserves the right to do so. The Offeror shall carefully and fully evaluate potential OCIs. Initially and if applicable, the Government will analyze potential OCIs on a case-by-case basis at the basic contract level and at the delivery/task order level to determine whether a conflict of interest exists for a Prime or Teammate/Subcontractor. Offerors should carefully review MDA's OCI policy and contract Section H-09 clause to ensure their proposals and Teammate/Subcontractor arrangements are consistent with MDA's OCI policy and the contract Section H-09 clause. Questions and clarifications regarding the policy or clause should be provided to the CO. The CO will discuss with Offerors on a one-on-one basis, if requested and as necessary, to address individual Offeror or Teammate/Subcontractor arrangements in regards to MDA's OCI policy and/or the Section H-09 clause. Offerors are encouraged to submit the completed OCI Disclosure Form and supporting documentation for review before the proposal due dates as.pdf documents via electronic mail to MICS-PCO@mda.mil. This submission will not count against any proposal page limitation. Based on MDA's review of the submitted documentation, the CO may provide preliminary guidance and/or written advisory approval to participate in this acquisition. This guidance and advisory approval will not be binding on MDA. The submission shall also identify all actual or potential conflicts of interest that might occur under this effort and shall specify, in adequate detail for the Government's evaluation, the nature of the conflict and the measures the Offeror has taken or proposes to take to avoid or mitigate such conflicts.
