PART IV - SECTION K
REPRESENTATIONS, CERTIFICATIONS, AND OTHER STATEMENTS OF OFFERORS
3.1.7-3 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST SIR PROVISION (August 1997)
(a) The policy of the FAA is to avoid contracting with contractors who have
unacceptable organizational conflicts of interest. An organizational conflict of
interest means that because of existing or planned activities, an offeror or
contractor is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance to the
agency, or has an unfair competitive advantage, or the offeror or contractor's
objectivity is, or might be, impaired.
It is not the intention of the FAA to foreclose a vendor from a competitive
acquisition due to a perceived OCI. FAA Contracting Officers are fully empowered
to evaluate each potential OCI scenario based upon the applicable facts and
circumstances. The final determination of such action may be negotiated between
the impaired vendor and the Contracting Officer. The Contracting officer's
business judgment and sound discretion in identifying, negotiating, and
eliminating OCI scenarios should not adversely affect the FAA's policy for
competition. The FAA is committed to working with potential vendors to eliminate
or mitigate actual and perceived OCI situations, without detriment to the
integrity of the competitive process, the mission of the FAA, or the legitimate
business interests of the vendor community.
(b) Mitigation plans. The successful contractor will be required to permit a
Government audit of internal OCI mitigation procedures for verification
purposes. The FAA reserves the right to reject a mitigation plan, if in the
opinion of the Contracting Officer, such a plan is not in the best interests of
the FAA. Additionally, after award the FAA will review and audit OCI mitigation
plans as needed, in the event of changes in the vendor community due to mergers,
consolidations, or any unanticipated circumstances that may create an
unacceptable organizational conflict of interest.
(c) Potential Organizational Conflict of Interest. The following OCI Matrix
provides potential vendors with examples of situations where mitigation plans
may or may not be required by the FAA.

maintenance and system support contracts (such as HOST), and software contracts
(such as ES2, TSD, and ERSDS).
Y - While each case is analyzed on its own fact pattern, there is no generalized
need for mitigation in this situation.
* - While a case-by-case analysis will be required, based on the SOW current at
the time of analysis, the offeror will likely be required to submit a mitigation
plan, and the FAA may be required to implement its own mitigation plan.
Modification of the SOW and evaluation plan may be necessary (for instance, to
accommodate multiple awards). This presumes the current contractor will stay on
in its role under its current contract.

(d) Examples of conflict situations. The following examples illustrate
situations in which questions concerning organizational conflicts of interest
may arise. They are not all-inclusive, but are intended to help the Contracting
Officer apply general guidance to individual contract situations:
(1) Unequal Access to Information. Access to "nonpublic information" as
part of the performance of an FAA contract could provide the contractor a
competitive advantage in a later competition for another FAA contract. Such an
advantage could easily be perceived as unfair by a competing vendor who is not
given similar access to the relevant information. If the requirements of the FAA
procurement anticipate the successful vendor may have access to nonpublic
information, all vendors should be required to submit and negotiate an
acceptable mitigation plan.
(2) Biased Ground Rules. A contractor in the course of performance of an
FAA contract has in some fashion established a "ground rules" for another FAA
contract, where the same contractor may be a competitor. For example, a
contractor may have drafted the statement of work, specifications, or
evaluations criteria of a future FAA procurement. The primary concern of the FAA
in this case is that a contractor so situated could slant key aspects of
procurement in its own favor, to the unfair disadvantage of competing vendors.
If the requirements of the FAA procurement anticipate the successful vendor may
be in a position to establish important ground rules, including but not limited
to those described herein, the successful vendor should be required to submit
and negotiate an acceptable mitigation plan.
(3) Impaired objectivity. A contractor in the course of performance of an
FAA contract is placed in a situation of providing assessment and evaluation
findings over itself, or another business division, or subsidiary of the same
corporation, or other entity with which it has a significant financial
relationship. The concern in this case is that the contractor's ability to
render impartial advice to the FAA could appear to be undermined by the
contractor's financial or other business relationship to the entity whose work
product is being assessed or evaluated. In these situations, a "▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ off" of
lines of communication may well be insufficient to remove the perception that
the objectivity of the contractor has been tainted. If the requirements of the
FAA procurement indicate that the successful vendor may be in a position to
provide evaluations and assessments of itself or corporate siblings, or other
entity with which it has a significant financial relationship, the affected
contractor should provide a mitigation plan that includes recusal by the vendor
from the affected contract work. Such recusal might include divestiture of the
work to a third party vendor.
(e) Disclosure by offerors or contractors participating in FAA acquisition.
(1) Offerors or contractors should provide information which concisely
describes all relevant facts concerning any past, present or currently
planned interest (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise)
relating to the work to be performed and bearing on whether the offeror or
contractor has a possible OCI.
(2) If the offeror or contractor does not disclose any relevant facts
concerning an OCI, the offeror or contractor, by submitting an offer or
signing the contract, warrants that to its best knowledge and belief no
such facts exist relevant to possible OCI.
(f) Remedies for nondisclosure. The following are possible remedies should an
offeror or contractor refuse to disclose, or misrepresent, any information
regarding a potential OCI:
(1) Refusal to provide adequate information may result in disqualification
for award.
(2) Nondisclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant interest may also
result in the disqualification of the offeror for award.
(3) Termination of the contract, if the nondisclosure or misrepresentation
is discovered after award.
(4) Disqualification from subsequent FAA contracts.
(5) Other remedial action as may be permitted or provided by law or in the
resulting contract.

(ii) For purposes of subdivision (c)(1)(i) of this clause, providing
any information specifically requested by an agency or Congress is permitted at
any time.
(iii) The following agency and legislative liaison activities are
permitted at any time where they are not related to a specific solicitation for
any covered Federal action:
(A) Discussing with an agency the qualities and characteristics
(including individual demonstrations) of the person's products or services,
conditions or terms of sale, and service capabilities.
(B) Technical discussions and other activities regarding the
application or adaptation of the person's products or services for an agency's
use.
(iv) The following agency and legislative liaison activities are
permitted where they are prior to Request for Offer (RFO) of any covered Federal
action:
(A) Providing any information not specifically requested but
necessary for an agency to make an informed decision about initiation of a
covered Federal action;
(B) Technical discussions regarding the preparation of an
unsolicited proposal prior to its official submission; and
(C) Capability presentations by persons seeking awards from an
agency pursuant to the provisions of a law authorizing such actions;
(v) Only those services expressly authorized by subdivision (c)(l)(i)

(b)(1) of this clause, does not apply in the case of:
(A) A payment of reasonable compensation made to an officer or
employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or an
extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of a covered
Federal action, if payment is for professional or technical services rendered
directly in the preparation, submission, or negotiation of submittal/offer or
application for that Federal action or for meeting requirements imposed by or
pursuant to law as a condition for receiving that Federal action.
(B) Any reasonable payment to a person, other than an officer or
employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or an

drafting of a legal document accompanying a submittal/offer by a lawyer is
allowable. Similarly, technical advice provided by an engineer on the
performance or operational capability of a piece of equipment rendered directly
in the negotiation of a contract is allowable.
However, communications with the intent to influence made by a professional
(such as a licensed lawyer) or a technical person (such as a licensed
accountant) are not allowable under this section unless they provide advice and
analysis directly applying their professional or technical expertise and unless
the advice or analysis is rendered directly and solely in the preparation,
submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action. Thus, for example,
communications with the intent to influence made by a lawyer that do not provide
legal advice or analysis directly and solely related to the legal aspects of his
or her client's submittal/offer, but generally advocate one proposal over
another are not allowable under this section because the lawyer is not providing
professional legal services. Similarly, communications with the intent to
influence made by an engineer providing an engineering analysis prior to the
preparation or submission of a submittal/offer are not allowable under this
section since the engineer is

providing technical services but not directly in the preparation, submission or
negotiation of a covered Federal action.
(iii) Requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for
receiving a covered Federal award include those required by law or regulation
and any other requirements in the actual award documents.
(iv) Only those services expressly authorized by subdivisions
(c)(2)(i) and (ii) of this clause are permitted under this clause.
(v) The reporting requirements herein shall not apply with respect to
payments of reasonable compensation made to regularly employed officers or
employees of a person.
(d) Disclosure.
(1) The Contractor who requests or receives from an agency a Federal
contract shall file with that agency a disclosure form, OMB Standard Form LLL,
Disclosure of Lobbying Activities, if such person has made or has agreed to make
any payment using nonappropriated funds (to include profits from any covered
Federal action), which would be prohibited under subparagraph (b)(1) of this
clause, if paid for with appropriated funds.
(2) The Contractor shall file a disclosure form at the end of each calendar
quarter in which there occurs any event that materially affects the accuracy of
the information contained in any disclosure form previously filed by such person
under subparagraph (e)(1) of this clause. An event that materially affects the
accuracy of the information reported includes:
(i) A cumulative increase of $25,000 or more in the amount paid or
expected to be paid for influencing or attempting to influence a covered Federal
action; or
(ii) A change in the person(s) or individual(s) influencing or
attempting to influence a covered Federal action; or
(iii) A change in the officer(s), employee(s), or Member(s) contacted
to influence or attempt to influence a covered Federal action.
(3) The Contractor shall require the certification, and if required, a
disclosure form by any person who requests or receives any subcontractor
exceeding $100,000 under the Federal contract.
(4) All subcontractor disclosure forms shall be forwarded from tier to tier
until received by the prime Contractor. The prime Contractor shall submit all
disclosures to the Contracting Officer at the end of the calendar quarter in
which the disclosure form is submitted by the subcontractor.
(e) Agreement. The Contractor agrees not to make any payment prohibited by this
clause.
(f) Penalties.
(1) Any person who makes an expenditure prohibited under paragraph (b) of
this clause or fails to file or amend the disclosure form to be filed or amended
by paragraph (b) shall be subject to civil penalties
(2) as provided for by 31 U.S.C. 1352. An imposition of a civil penalty
does not prevent the Government from seeking any other remedy that may be
applicable.
(2) Contractors may rely without liability on the representations made by
their subcontractors in the certification and in the disclosure form.
(g) Cost allowability. Nothing in this clause makes allowable or reasonable any
costs that would otherwise be unallowable or unreasonable. Conversely, costs
made specifically unallowable by the requirements in this clause will not be
made allowable under any other provision.

least 51 percent of its stock unconditionally owned by one of these
entities which has its management and daily business controlled by members

INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS
(3) Was sent by U.S. Postal Service Express Mail Next Day Service-Post

Service. Both postmarks must show a legible date or the proposal, quotation, or
modification shall be processed as if mailed late. 'Postmark' means a printed,
stamped, or otherwise placed impression (exclusive of a postage meter machine
impression) that is readily identifiable without further action as having been
supplied and affixed by employees of the U.S. or Canadian Postal Service on the
date of mailing. Therefore, offerors should request the postal clerk to place a

envelope or wrapper.
(f) The only acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the
Government installation is the time/date stamp of that installation on the
submittal wrapper or other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the
installation.
(g) The only acceptable evidence to establish the date of mailing of a late
offer, modification, or withdrawal sent by Express Mail Next Day Service-Post
Office to Addressee is the date entered by the post office receiving clerk on
the 'Express Mail Next Day Service-Post Office to Addressee' label and the
postmark on both the envelope or wrapper and on the original receipt from the
US. Postal Service. 'Postmark' has the same meaning as defined in paragraph (d)

cancellation bull's eye postmark on both the receipt and the envelope or
wrapper.

PART IV-SECTION M
EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD
1. The Government may award more than one contract resulting from this Request
for Offer (RFO) to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer submitted in response
to, and conforming with this RFO terms and conditions, is fully responsive in
providing submissions required by Section L, is technically acceptable and is
determined to represent the BEST VALUE TO THE GOVERNMENT price and other factors
listed below. Award shall not be based on price alone.
2. An offeror may be determined to be technically acceptable by receiving a
rating of at least satisfactory in all technical key discriminators and factors.
An unacceptable rating received in any key discriminator or factor will
determine the offeror to be unacceptable for further consideration for award.
3. The Government may:
(a) reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest;
(b) accept other than the lowest offer;
(c) waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received;
(d) make award without written or oral discussion with offerors;
(e) have discussions with any one offeror, all offerors, or without any
discussions.
EVALUATION CRITERIA/RATING SCHEME:
NOTE: Offerors must demonstrate compliance, as described in Section L of this
RFO, with the applicable accessibility standards under Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 identified in Section C of this RFO and attached at
Section J. Offerors that fail to demonstrate compliance with the applicable
accessibility standards identified in Section C of this solicitation shall be
eliminated from further consideration for award.
For this acquisition, Price and Technical factors will be evaluated as described
herein. Technical factors shall be given more weight than price in the overall
evaluation of offers to determine the best value to the Government in terms of
quality, performance, cost, and other factors.
A. PRICE: Price proposals will be evaluated separately by the PEB in order to
make a determination to establish the responsible offeror whose price proposal
is most advantageous to the Government. In order to permit members of the TEB to
evaluate the proposals on technical merit only, the price(s) associated with
each proposal will not be made available to the TEB.
The PEB will conduct price analysis using whatever price analysis techniques
will ensure a fair and reasonable price. The PEB will consider and evaluate the
pricing proposal, analysis, and analysis submitted for the example scenarios.
The following are techniques that may be utilized to perform price analysis.
However, the PEB may, in its discretion, use other techniques for evaluation as
required.
1. Evaluation of submitted pricing proposal for clarity and reasonableness.
2. Evaluation of Reports submitted in respect to the Scenarios described in
Section L.
3. Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFP.
4. Comparison of prior proposed prices for same or similar work.
5. Comparison of proposed prices with the independent Government cost
estimate.
6. Comparison with published pricing for similar services, commodities, or
proposed pricing through market research.
B. TECHNICAL: The TEB will evaluate technical proposals received on the
following criteria. Listed in order of Most important to Least Important:
1. Information Technology/ Tracking System
2. Past performance and Experience
3. Rapid Response Plan
4. Financial Stability
5. Subcontracting Efforts
1. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY/TRACKING SYSTEM ("ITS"). The FAA will evaluate
the offeror's current tracking/IT system. If the offeror does not currently have
a tracking system, or if the offeror's existing system is not capable of meeting
or exceeding the tracking requirements of this contract, measures the offeror is
undertaking to establish a sufficient tracking system so that it may provide
full service at the time of award
54
PART IV-SECTION M
EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD
will be evaluated. The Technical Evaluation Board may evaluate each Offeror's
ITS by considering, without limitation, the following: Reports submitted in
respect to the scenarios described in Section L; on-site demonstration.
2. PAST PERFORMANCE AND EXPERIENCE. The offeror's past performance and
experience will be evaluated to determine projects that demonstrate the
capability to perform this work.
3. RAPID RESPONSE PLAN. The plan will be evaluated for all modes of
transportation (air, land, sea). The plan will also be evaluated on the
offeror's plans to provide emergency transportation to all 50 States and US
Territories and procedures for multiple simultaneous events/disasters in
different regions of the country.
3. FINANCIAL STABILITY. The offeror's general financial condition will be
evaluated to determine ability to sustain a project of this scope and duration.
4. SUBCONTRACTING EFFORTS. The FAA will evaluate the offeror's methods/process
for pre-qualifying subcontractors for future work.
C. RATING SCHEME: Technical proposals will be evaluated using the following
adjectives:
Superior: The proposal fully meets all solicitation requirements and exceeds the
basic requirements in such a manner that the technical proposal considered as a
whole provides significant additional value to the Government. Response exceeds
an "acceptable" rating.
Acceptable: The proposal meets minimum solicitation requirements, is complete
and comprehensive; exemplifies the offeror's understanding of the Government's
requirements.
Marginal: The proposal fails to meet a majority of the solicitation requirements
with some deficiencies; however, given the opportunity for discussions, the
proposal has a reasonable chance of becoming at least acceptable.
Unacceptable: The proposal contains significant deficiencies and/or omissions.
Failure to understand the Government's requirements; failure to provide
reasonable, logical submittals. Proposal is unacceptable and would have to be
completely revised, and is not susceptible of being made acceptable without
major revisions and rewrite.
