III.SOLICITATION PROVISIONS AND CLAUSES The following provision applies to this combined synopsis/solicitation: Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Solicitation Provision The provisions of FAR 9.5, "Organizational Conflict of Interest" (OCI), apply to any award under this solicitation. A significant conflict of interest has been identified which prohibits the prime contractor, Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC), of the Joint Logistics Integration (JLI) contract, W56HZV-09-A-0003, from participating, in any form to this solicitation and resulting contract. The reason for this prohibition is that the JLI prime contractor provides data collection, analysis, and the formulation of multiple MRAP maintenance and logistic Courses of Action (COAs) that may impact the magnitude of the efforts required under the resulting MRAP Mechanic Maintenance and Repair Service contract from this solicitation. The scopes of both the JLI and MRAP Mechanic efforts may result in a contractor being unable to render impartial services (i.e. the contractor performing under the JLI contract may be unable to render impartial services as they relate to MRAP Mechanic requirements if the contractor also holds the MRAP Mechanic contract. Due to this significant conflict the only mitigation is a strict prohibition. This prohibition applies to the prime JLI Contractor and to any and all subcontractors, business partners and units that perform the type of efforts described herein. To the extent that a JLI subcontractor or partner does not perform any data collection, analysis or COA recommendations, the JLI subcontract or partner may participate in this MRAP Mechanic solicitation and resulting contract, provided the contractor documents the mitigation strategy employed to prevent an OCI from occurring. All potential offerors should review their current and planned participation in any other Government contracts, subcontracts, consulting, or teaming arrangements where they may be in a position of actual or perceived bias or unfair competitive advantage. A common example with the potential for OCI is where an entity performs work both as a system contractor or subcontractor and as a Government support contractor for Government offices involved in MRAP Mechanic or related programs. Per FAR 9.505, the two principles that OCI mitigation is meant to address are preventing the existence of conflicting roles that might bias a contractor's judgment and preventing unfair competitive advantage. Allowing the same contractor to perform services under both the JLI and the MRAP Mechanic contracts would allow it to direct additional work to itself under the MRAP Mechanic contract as a result of the technical direction it would provide under the JLI contract. Additionally, the data gathered and evaluated by the JLI contractor in regards to the MRAP Mechanic effort will influence future requirements for both types of services. Finally, as a part of the requirement in the JLI contract, the contractor will evaluate its work under the MRAP Mechanic contract; this would allow the contractor to influence a future past performance evaluation as the contractor could give itself unduly favorable evaluations. Accordingly, allowing the MRAP Mechanic contractor and the JLI contractor to be one and the same violates the situations FAR 9.505 means the Contracting Officer to avoid. Not only could the contractor's judgment be compromised because it would be able to channel work to itself, but the contractor could also give itself an unfair competitive advantage for future awards based on its evaluations of its own work. As such, the Contracting Officer has determined that no mitigation is feasible to safeguard against organizational conflicts of interest between the MRAP Mechanic and JLI contracts. The contractor shall submit the following disclosures and OCI mitigation plan, upon submission of its proposal: (a) A statement that contractor has reviewed the OCIs identified by the Contracting Officer in this provision; and (b) A statement that contractor has conducted its own OCI review, and either: i. Contractor has not identified any actual or potential OCIs for the proposed contract, beyond those specified in this provision; or ii. Contractor has identified one or more actual or potential OCIs for the proposed contract, in addition to those specified in this provision. For those OCIs identified by the Contracting Officer and for those identified by the contractor, if any, the contractor will summarize the facts creating the OCIs, specify the potential conflict, and identify a recommended approach to negate or mitigate it. Note that the preferred approach to potential OCI is to negate the conflict altogether. Mitigation of an OCI may be considered only where negation or avoidance is not practical. In accordance with FAR Subpart 12.6, the following clauses apply: FAR 52.212-3, Alt I, 52.212-4, and 52.212-5. Additional details regarding these clauses will be provided as a separate attachment. Additional provisions and clauses apply to this procurement and will be provided as a separate attachment.
