Personal Conflicts of interest: - correct answer FAR part 3 covers polices and
procedures related to avoiding improper business practices and personal conflicts of
interest. A "personal conflict of interest" is a situation where an individual is employed
by a defense contractor company and is in a position to materially influence DOD's
recommendations and/or decisions and, because of his/her personal activities,
relationships, or financial interests, may lack or appear to lack objectivity, or appear to
be unduly influenced by personal financial interest.
Organizational Conflicts of interest: - correct answer An OCI is the existence of a set
of circumstances in which a contractor may be unable to render impartial advice to the
government, or might have impaired objectivity in performing contracted work, or may
obtain an unfair competitive advantage in the marketplace when competing for
government work where that unfair advantage is obtained performing a government
contract.
There are three broad categories of Organizational Conflicts of interest OCI: - correct
answer 1. Unequal Access
,2. Impaired Objectivity
3. Biased Ground Rules
Three basic approaches available to contractors and the Agency for dealing with OCI
issues, as follows: - correct answer 1. Avoid - Prevent the occurrence of an actual or
potential OCI through actions such as excluding sources from competition or
eliminating a segment of work from a contract or task.
2. Neutralize - Negate, through a specific action, potential or actual OCI related to
either a contractor's objectivity during contract performance, or unfair competitive
advantage. Specific actions could include encouraging and facilitating support
contractor recusal, excluding or severely limiting support contractor participation in
source selection activities, and/or otherwise barring access to competition sensitive
data.
3. Mitigate - Reduce or alleviate the impact of unavoidable OCIs to an acceptable level
of risk so that the government's interests with regard to fair competition and contract
performance are not prejudiced. This is facilitated in developing an OCI mitigation plan
(DFARS 209.571-4).
