Sec. 2452.209-70  Potential organizational conflicts of interest.

    As prescribed in 2409.507-1, the Contracting Officer may insert a 
provision substantially the same as follows in solicitations:

        Potential Organizational Conflicts of Interest (FEB 2000)

    (a) The Contracting Officer has determined that the proposed 
contract contains a potential organizational conflict of interest. 
Offerors are directed to FAR subpart 9.5 for detailed information 
concerning organizational conflicts of interest.
    (b) The nature of the potential conflict of interest is [Contracting 
Officer insert description]:
    (c) Offerors shall provide a statement which describes concisely all 
relevant facts concerning any past, present or planned interest 
(financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) relating to the 
work to be performed under the proposed contract and bearing on whether 
the offeror has a possible organizational conflict of interest with 
respect to:
    (1) Being able to render impartial, technically sound, and objective 
assistance or advice, or
    (2) Being given an unfair competitive advantage. The offeror may 
also provide relevant facts that show how its organizational structure 
and/or management systems limit its knowledge of possible organizational 
conflicts of interest relating to other divisions or sections of the 
organization and how that structure or system would avoid or mitigate 
such organizational conflict.
    (d) No award shall be made until any potential conflict of interest 
has been neutralized or mitigated to the satisfaction of the Contracting 
Officer.
    (e) Refusal to provide the requested information or the willful 
misrepresentation of any relevant information by an offeror shall 
disqualify the offeror from further consideration for award of a 
contract under this solicitation.
    (f) If the Contracting Officer determines that a potential conflict 
can be avoided, effectively mitigated, or otherwise resolved through the 
inclusion of a special contract clause, the terms of the clause will be 
subject to negotiation.

                           (End of provision)
