CONTRACTOR ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST I represent to the best of my knowledge and belief that: The award to of a co ract or the modification of an existing contract does /_/ or does not / involve situations or relationships of the type set forth in 41 CFR paragraph 20-1.5403(b)(1). If the representation as completed indicates that situations or relation-ships of the type :et forth in 41 CFR 20-1.5403(b)(1) are involved or the Contracting Officer otherwise determines that potential organizational conflicts exist, the offeror shall provide a statement 4 writing which describes ir. concise manner all relevant factors bearing on his represen-tation to the Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer determines that organizational conflicts exist, the following actions may be taken: (a) impose appropriate conditions which avoid such conflicts, (b) disqualify the offeror, or (c) determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of the United States to seek award of the contract under the waiver provisions of 5 20-1.5411. The refusal to provide the representation required by 820-1.5404(b) or upon request of the Contracting Officer the facts required by 820-1.5404(c), shall result in disqualification of the offeror for award. The nondisclo-sure or misrepresentation of any relevant interest may also result in the disqualification of the offeror for awards; or if such nondisclosure or misrepresentation is discovered after award, the resulting contract may be terminated. The offeror may also be di: qualified from subsequent related NRC contracts and be subject to such other remedial actions pro-vided by law or the resulting contract. l The offeror may, because of actual or potential organizational conflicts l of interest, propose to exclude specific kinds or work from the statements of work contained in an RFP unless the RFP specifically pronibits such exclusion. Any such proposed exclusion by an offeror will be considered by the NRC in the evaluation of proposals. If the NRC considers the pro-l posed excluded work to be an essential or integral part of the required work and its exclusion would work to the detriment of the competitive posture of the other offerors, the proposal must be rejected as unacceptable. The offeror's failure to execute the representation required herein with respect to invitation for bids will be considered to be a minor infonnality, and the of feror will be pennitted to correct the omission. Any contract resulting from a solicitation requirement shall include general clauses (41 CFR 20-1.5404-1) prohibiting contractors from engaging in relationships which may give rise to an actual or apparent conflict of interest. Note: NRC Contractor Organizational Conflicts of Interest (41 CFR Part 20) is included in Part IV as Attachment No. 1.

RFP RS-RES-81-203 Page 23 of 42 PART III CONTRACT SCHEDULE F ARTICLE I - STATEMENT OF WORK A. INTRODUCTION The NRC has identified a need to characterize a set of bounding physical tests which would represent environments experienced by radioactive material shipping packages under extremely severe air or mating _tran, sport accident conditions. These tests would be expected' to be mode dependent and shall be derived from historical accident records as well as reasonable extensiont of accident events to account for the real-world transport mode environments. 8. GENERAL BACKGROUND Current NRC regulations (including revisions as proposed in 44FR48234) re-quire that the performance of fissile and type B radioactive material ship-ping packages be assessed by physical tests or analytical evaluations to conditions specified in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 10 Part 71, Appendix B. Package acceptance criteria following application of these conditions are specified under 100FR71 Subpart C. This combination of specified hypothetical accident conditions and restrictive acceptance cri-teria have led the NRC staff to conclude that transportation under present regulations has provided adaquate safety to the public and that no immediate changes of substance to the existing regulations are needed. This conclu-sion was based on a risk arsessment which has been documented in NUREG-0170, dated December 1977. Notwithstanding this c6nclusion, the NRC has determined that there are,two major reasons for considering changes to its regulations: 1. To minimize the' risk contribution from low probability - high consequence events on an as-low-es-reasonably-achievable (ALARA) basis, and 2. To develop radioactive material transportation standards, specifically package perfcrmance standards, which, both represent, and are perceived to represent a more sound technical basis for assuring that adequate safety to the public continues to be provided. As a starting point to address both these objectives, the need to define set (s) of bounding physical tests which encompass the environments in representative severe transportation accidents is considered essential. Following test set definition, the NRC would subject typical packages to these performance tests and seek to establish criteria for post-test package acceptance based on an ALARA principle. For the road and rail transport modes, this initial objective is being pursued through an on-going contract. C. DISCUSSION OF THE TECHNICAL PROBLEM The NRC approach to the technical problem of defining a set of bounding physical tests is as follows:

RFP RS-RES-81-203 Page 24 of 42 1. To define set (s) of extremely severe credible accident environ-ments. Such environments can be defined by specifying critical parameters of a representative number of extremely severe ac-cident events. Information from historical U.S. accident records (e.g., National Transportation Safety Board summaries) and the physical or operating conditions associated with the specific transport modes would be expected to support the definition of these critical parameters. 2. Considering appropriate generic features of classes of radioactive material shipping packages, establish the forces induced on the package by the extremely severe accident events. 3. A set or sets of peckage performance tests will be derived which technically and perceptually recreate these forces. D. CONTRACT OBJECTIVE The objective of this proposed contract is to define set (s) of performance tests for radioactive material shipping packages which bound the enviror.- ments experienced in extremely severe air and marine transport accidents. E. SCOPE OF TECHNICAL WORK The contractor shall furnish all personnel, materials, equipment, facilities and services necessary to perform and shall therewith perform the technical tasks listed below. Table 1 presents a list of background documents which can be acquired in person or by written request through the NRC Public Document Room, Washington, D.C. 20555, (202) 634-3273. (NOTE: Requests to the NRC Public Document Room for any of the documents listed in Table 1 must clearly identify the specific document and the RFP number RS-RES-81-203.) The work shall be accomplished in four tasks which include: (1) extremely severe credible accident definition, (2) definition of generic radioactive material package classes which influence the magnitudes of forces induced by extremely severe accident events, (3) definition of these force magni-tudes, and (4) conversion of these accident induced forces into a set of representative physical tests. The first task has been estimated to re-quire approximat. ly five months to complete. The length of this period e reflects NRC's belief that a thorough assessment of extremely severe ac-cident environments will assure a credible definition of bounding forces experienced by radioactive material packages. The tasks directed toward defining these boundinc forces have been estinated to require an additional five months of effort. Translating these forces into a set or sets of modal dependent physical tests is estimated to require the largest fraction of the contract period. F. DELINEATION OF CONTRACTOR TASKS TASK I - Extremely Severe Credible Accident (ESA) Definition The contractor shall identify the types of aircraft and marine accidents that could produce significant static / dynamic loads (e.g., impact, crush,

a RFP RS-RES-81-203 Page 25 of 4? puncture) on a Type B or fissile radioactive material package or subject these packages to significant thermal environments. The basis for such determinations shall include historical accident records and hypothetical extensions of such accident events to include credible interfaces with real-world physical or operating conditions. As an example, aircraft arid ship / barge design data, operating limitations, and the definition of potential impacted objects could be expected to influence the potential for and magnitude of bounding impact forces. The con. actor shall e search the technical literature to identify and obtain any published information pertinent to the objectives of this study. The literature search should include, but not be limited to, material published in the 4 area of radioactive material transport. Past and ongoing efforts, as indicated in Table 1, References 1 through 3, and other technical literature identified by the contractor, shall be reviewed and used as required. The air and marine accident reports, issued by the National Transportation Safety Board and available in detail in their Washington, D.C. office, shall also be considered a data source for this task. The data compiled by the Transportation Technical Environmental Information Center at Sandia Laboratories shall also be fully utilized (Reference 3). In evaluating the credibility of ESA environments as required in this task, the contractor shall identify and consider those factors associated with the ESA which may limit the extent of any potential radiological impact on the public health and safety (e.g., the expected population density in the area surrounding such an accident). Close coordination with NRC in the use of such factors shall be maintained. TASK II - Assessment of the Influence of Package Design Parameters and Shipment Conditions Following the definition of the ESA as required in Task I, the contractor shall review the spectrum of type B and fissile package designs and typical l shipment conditions with the intent of identifying any generic package features or shipment parameters that could strongly affect the magnitude i l or the likelihood of occurrence of accident forces which are capable of being transmitted to the radioactive material package (e.g., package size / weight, protection afforded by transport vehicle structure, tiedown fea-tures). In this effort, the contractor shall use relevant vehicle design and transport practice information and shall perform various calculations (e.g., tnermal and/or structural analyses), as necessary, to support any con-lusions. l l l TASK III - Extremely Severe Environments Experienced by Rtd!.ctile l Material Packages Combining the rasolts from Tasks I and II, the contractor shall establish the sets of extremely severe environments which could be experienced by the spectrum of radioactive material packages being considered. The fre-quency of experiencing these environments shall be estimated. In this latter ef fort, the contractor shall perform.the various statistical evalu-ations necessary to accomplish this subtask.

RFP RS-RES-81-203 Page 26 of 42 TASK IV - Physical Test refinitions The contractor shall devise a set or sets of physical tests (mechanical and thermal) to represent the extremely severe accident environments which The could be experienced by the specified radioactive material packages. contractor shall also identify any sequence of individual tests (on a single package) necessary to properly represent the accident environment. The set of tests may be mode dependent. To establish any mode dependence, the contractor shall consider any results fmm similar research work involving road and rail transport. The contractor shall evaluate each set of tests in terms of (1) perception in representing extremely severe accident conditions, (2) experimental practicality of subjecting radioactive material packages to such tests, (3) analytical capability to predict the significant measures of package response resulting from the test set, (4) analytical capability to correlate damage from the test set to that resulting from actual extremely severe accident environments, and (5) any other evaluative measure the contractor believes could be useful in selecting among the sets of physical tests. The contractor shall recommend any scale model or component tests which are necessary to accomplish the desired selection among test sets. G. REPORTS, DOCUMENTATION, AND OTHER DELIVERABLE END ITEMS 1. Monthly letter progress report, in 5 copies to the Project Officer and 1 copy to the Contracting Officer, shall be due by the 15th day of each month and shall include as a minimum: A technical report of progress describing findings to-date, a. problems incurred and solutions proposed, and plans for the ensuing month. b.

AUTHORITY: Sec. 8, Pub. L. 95-601, adding Sec.170A to Pub. L. 83-703, 68 Stat. 919, as amended (42 U.S.C. ch. 14) 520-1.5401 Scope and Policy (a) It is the policy of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) to avoid, eliminate or neutralize contractor organizational conflicts - of interest. The NRC achieves this objective by requiring all prospective contractors to submit infonnation describing relationships, if any, with organizations or persons (including those regulated by NRC) which may give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest in the event of l contract award. (b) Contractor conflict of interest detenninations cannot be made automatically or routinely; the application of sound judgment on virtually a case-by-case basis is necessary if the policy is to be applied so as to satisfy.the overall public interest. It is not possible to prescribe in advance a specific method or set of criteria which would serve to identify and resolve all of the contractor conflict of interest situations which might arise; however, examples are provided in these regulations l to guide application of the policy. NRC contracting and program officials must bef aler,t to ;other situations which may warrant application of this policy guidance. The ult; .: test is: Might the contractor, if awarded the contract, be placeo in a position where its judgment may be biased,, or where it may have an unfair competitive advantage? (c) The conflict of interest rule contained in this subpart applies to-c7ntractors and offerors only. Individuals or firms who iiave other 3 relatfonships with NRC (e.g., parties to a licensing proceeding) are not covered by this regulation. This rule does not apply to the acquisition of consulting services through the personnel appointment process, NRC - - - - -.-

7590-01 agreements with other government agencies, international ' rganizations. o or state, local or foreign governments; separata procedures for avoiding . conflicts of interest will be employed in such agreements, as appropriate. I20-1.5402 Definitions (a) " Organizational conflicts of interest" means that a relationship exists whereby a contractor or prospective contractor has present or planned interasts related to the work to be perfonned under an NRC contract which: (1) May diminish its capacity to give impartial, technically sound, objective assistance and advice or may otherwise result in a biased work product, or (2) may result in its being given an unfair competitive advantage. (b) "Research" means any scientific or technical work involving theoretical analysis, exploration, or experimentation. (c) Evaluation e.ctivities" means any effort involving the appraisal of a technology, precess, product, or policy. (d) " Technical consulting and management support services" means internal assistance to a component of the NRC in the fonnulation or l administration of.its programs, projects, or policies which normally require the contractor to be given access to information which has not l been made available to the public or proprietary infonnation. Such I services typically include assistance in the preparation of program plans; and preparation of preliminary designs, specifications, or statements of work. (e') " Contract" means any contract, agreement, or other arrangement with the NRC except as provided in Section 20-1.5401(c). (f) " Contractor" means any person, firm, unincorporated association, joint venture, co-sponstor, partnership, corporation, affiliates thereof, or their successor; in interest, including their chief executives, directors, key personnel (identified in the contract), proposed consultants or subcontractors, which is a party to a contract with the NRC. (g) " Affiliates" means business concerns which are affiliates of each other when either directly or indirectly one concern or individual ~ controls or has the power to contrel another, or when a third party controls or has the power to control both (41 CFR 51-1.606-1(e)). j I .(h)' " Subcontractor" means any subcontraEtor of any tier which performt work under a contract with the NRC except subcontracts for supplies and subcontracts in amounts of $10,000 or less. (1) " Prospective contractor" or " offeror" means any person, firm, unincorporated r,sociation, ioint venture, partnership, corporation, or affiliates thereof, including its chief executive, directors, key personnel (identified in the proposal), proposed consultants, or subcontractors, submitting a bid or proposal, solicited or unsolicited, to the NRC to obtain a contract. - _ _ _ _ ~ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

7590-01 (j) " Potential conflict of interest" means that a factual situation exists that suggests (indicates) that a actual conflict of intarest may arise from award of a proposed contract. The tem " potential conflict of interest" is used to signify those situations which merit investigation prior to contract award in order to ascertain whether award would give rise to an actual conflict or which must be reported to the contracting officer for investigation if they arise during contract perfomance. 5 20-1.5403 Criteria for recognizing contractor organizational conflicts of interest (a) General. Two questions will be asked in determinirg whether actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest exis?.: (1) Are there conflicting roles t31ch might bias a contractor's judgment in relation to its work for the NRC? (2) May the contractor be given an unfair competitive advantage based on the perfomance of the contract? The ultimate determination by NRC as to whether organizational conflicts of interest exist will be made in light of connon sense and good business judgment based upon the relevant facts disclosed and the work ? be perfomed. While it is difficult to identify and to prescribe 1, advance a specific method for avoiding all of the various situations or r0 ationships which might involve potential organizational conflicts of interest, NRC personnel will pay particular attention to proposed contractual requirements which call for the rendering of advice, consultation or evaluation activities, or similar activities that lay direct groundwork for the NRC's decisions on regulatory activities, future procurements, and research programs. (b) Situations or relationships which may give rise to organizational conflicts of interest. (1) The offeror or contractor shall disclose infonnation concerning relationships which may give rise to organizational conflicts of inter 6st under the following circumstances: (1) Where the offeror or contractor provides advice and recommendations to the NRC in a technical area in which it is also providing consulting assistance in the same arec to any organization regulated by the NRC. (ii) Where the offeror or contractor provides advice to the NRC on the same or similar matter in which it is also providing assistance to any organization regulated by the NRC. (iii) Where the offeror or contractor evaluates its own products er services, or the products or services of another entity where the offeror or contractor has been substantially involved in their development or ma rketing. (iv) Where the award of a contract would otherwise result in placing the offeror or contractor in a conflicting role in which its judgment may be biased in relation to its work for the NRC or may otherwise result in an unfair competitive advantage for the offeror or contractor.,

7590-01 (2) The contracting officer may request specific information from an offeror or contractor or may require special contract provisions such as provided in 520-1.5405-2 in the following circumstances: (1) Where the offeror or contractor prepares specifications which are to be used in competitive procurements of products or services covered by such specifications. (ii) Where the offeror or contractor prepares plans for specific approaches or methodologies that are to be incorporated into competitive procurements using such approaches or methodo1ogies. (iii) Where the offeror or contractor is granted access to information not available to the public concerning NRC plans, policies, or programs which could form the basis for a later procurement action. (iv) Where the offeror or contractor is granted access to proprietary information of its competitors. (v) Where the award of a contract might otherwise result in placing the offeror or contractor in a conflicting role in which its judgment may be biased in relation to its work for the NRC or may otherwise result in an unfair competitive advantage for the offeror or contractor., (c) Policy application guidance. The following examples are illustrstive only and are not intended to identify and resolve all contractor organizational conflict of interest situations. (1) Example. The XYZ Corp., in response to a request for proposal (RFP), proposes to undertake certain analyses of a reactor component as called for in the RFP. The XYZ Corp. is one of several companies considered to be technically well qualified. In response to the inquiry in the RFP, the XYZ Corp. advises that it is currently performing similar analyses for the reactor manufacturer. Guidance. An NRC contract for that particular work nomally would not be awarded to the XYZ Corp. because it would be placed in a position in which its judgment could be biased in relationshlp to its work for NPC. Since there are other well-qualified companies available, there would be no reason for considering a waiver of the policy. (2) Example. The ABC Corp., in response to a RFP, proposes to perform certain analyses of a reactor component which are unique to one type of advanced reactor. As is the case with other technically qualified companies responding to the RFP, the ABC Corp. is performing various projects for several different utility clients. None of the ABC Corp, projects have any relationship t: the work called for in the RFP. Based on the NRC evaluation, the ABC Corp. is considered to be the best qualified company to perform the work outlined in the RFP..

7590-01 Guidance. An NRC contract normally could be awarded to the ABC Corp, because no conflict of interest exists which would motivate bias i with respect to the work. An appropriate clause would be included in the contract to preclude the ABC Corp. from subsequently contracting for work during the performance of the NRC contract with the private sector which could create a conflict. For example, ABC Corp. would be precluded from the performance of similar work for the company developing the advanced reactor mentioned in the example. (3) Example. As a result of operating problems in a certain type of comercial nuclear facility, it is imperative that NRC secure specific data on various operational aspects of that type of plant so as to assure adequate safety protection of the public. Only one manufacturer has extensive experience with that type of plant. Consequently, that company is the only one with whom NRC can contract which can develop and conduct the testing programs required to obtain the data in reasonable time. That company has a definite interest in any NRC decisions that might result from the data produced because those decisions affect the reactor's design and thus the company's costs. Guidance. This situation would place the manufacturer in a role in which its judgment could be biased in relationship to its work for Nf'C. Since the nature of the work required is vitally important in tems of NRC's responsibilities and no reasonable alternative exists, a waiver of the policy may be warranted. Any such waiver shall be fully documented and coordinated in accordance with the waiver provisions of this policy with particular attention to the establishment of protective mechanisms to guard against bias. (4) Exampl e. The ABC Co. submits a proposal for a new system for evaluating a specific reactor component's performance for the purpose of developing standards that are important to the NRC program. The ABC Co. has advised NRC dat it intends to sell the new system to industry once its practicability has been demonstrated. Other companies in this business are using older systems for evaluation of the specific reactor i component. Guidance. A contract could be awarded to the ABC Co. provided that i l the contract stipulates that no information produced under the contract l will be used in the contractor's private activities unless such information ) has been reported to NRC. Information which is reported to NRC by contractors will normally be disseminated by NRC to others so as to preclude an i unfair competitive advantage that might otherwise accrue. When NRC furnishes information to the contractor for the performance of contract l work, it shall not be used in the contractor's private activities unless such information'is generally available to others. Further, the contract will stipulate that the contractor will inform the NRC contracting officer of all situations in which the information developed under the contract is proposed to be used. _f_

7590-01 (5) Example. The ABC Corp., in response to a RFP proposes to assemble a map showing certain seismological features of the Appalachian fold belt. In accordance with the representation in the RFP and 5 20-1.5403(b)(1)(4), ABC Corp. informs the NRC that it is presently doing seismological studies for several utilities in the Eastern United States but none of the sites are within the geographic area contemolated by the NRC study. Guidance. The contracting officer would nomally conclude that award of a contract would not place ABC Corp. in a conflicting role where its judgment might be biased. The work for others clause of 520-1.5405-1(c) would preclude ABC Corp from accepting work during the term of the NRC contract which could craate a conflict of interest. (d) Other considerations. (1) The fact that the NRC can identify and later avoid, eliminate, or neutralize any potential organizational conflicts arising from the perfomance of a contract is not relevant to a detemination of the existence of such conflicts prior to the award of a contract. (2) It is not relevant that the contractor has the professional reputation of being able to resist temptations which arise from organizational conflicts of interest, or that a follow-on procurement is not involved, or that a contract is awarded on a competitive or a sole source basis. 520-1.5404 Representation (a) The following procedures are designed to assist the NRC contracting officer in determining whether situations or relationships exist which may constitute organizational conflicts of interest with respect to a particular offeror or contractor. (b) Representation procedure. The following organizational conflicts of interest representation provision shall be included in all solicitations and unsolicited proposals for: (1) Evaluation serv!ces or activities; (2) technical consulting and management support services; (3) research; and (4) other contractual situations where special organizational conflicts of interest provisions are noted in the solicitation and would be included in toe resulting contract. This representation requirement shall also apply to all modifications for additional effort under the contract except those issued under the " changes" clause. Where, however, a statement of the type required by the organizational conflicts of interest representation provision has previously been submitted with regard to the contract being modified, only an updating of such statement shall be required.. k

7590-01 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST REPRESENTATION I represent to the best of my knowledge and belief that: The award to of a contract or the modification of an existing contract does ( ) or does not ( ) involve situations or relationships of the type set forth in 41 CFR 520-1.5403(b)(1). (c) Instructions to offerors. The following shall be included in all NRC solicitations: (1) If the representation as completed indicates that situations or relationships of the type set forth in 41 CFR 5 20-1.5403(b)(1) are involved, or the contracting officer otherwise determines that potential organizational conflicts exist, the offeror shall provide a statement in writing which describes in a concise manner all relevant facts bearing on his representation to the contracting officer. If the contracting officer determines that crge.nizational conflicts exist, the following actions may be taken: (1) Impose appropriate conditions which avoid such conflicts. (ii) disqualify the offeror, or (iii) determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of the United States ta seek award of the contract under the waiver provisions of 520-1.5411. (2) The refusal to provide the representation required by 520-by '520-1.5404(pon request of the contracting officer the facts requ 1.5404(b) or uc), shall result in disqualification of the offeror for award. The nondisclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant interest may also result in the disqualification of the offeror for award; or if such nondisclosure or misrepresentation is discovered after award, the resulting contract may be terminated. The offeror may also be disqualified from subsequent related NRC contracts and be subject to such other l. remedial actions provided by law or the resulting contract. l The offeror may, because of actual or potential organizational (d) l conflicts of interest, propose to exclude specific kindt of work from l the statements of work, contained in a RFP unless the RFP specifically l prohibits such exclusion. Any such proposed exclusion by an offeror l will be considered by the NRC in the evaluation of proposals. If the NRC considers the proposed excluded work to be an essential or integral part of the required work and its exclusion would work to the detriment l of the competitive posture of the other offerors, the proposal must be l rejected as unacceptable. i (e) The offeror's failure to execute the representation required l by subsection (b) above with respect to invitation for bids will be l considered to be a minor informality, and the offeror will be pennitted to correct the omission. s 20-1.5405 Contract clauses 5 20-1.5405-1 General contract clause

If appropriate, the offeror may negotiate the terms and conditions of these clauses, including the i extent and time period of any such restriction. These provisions include i but are not limited to:

7590-01 (1) Hardware exclusion clauses which prohibit the acceptance of production contracts following a related nonproduction contract previously performed by the contractor; (2) Software exclusion clauses; (3) Clauses which require the contractor (an ' certain of his key personnel) to avoid certain organizational conflicts of interest; and (4) Clauses which provide for protection of confidential data and guard against its unauthorized use. (b) The following additional contract clause may be included as section (i) in the clause set forth ins 20-1.5405-1 when it is determined that award of a follow-on contract would constitute an organizational conflict of interest. (i) Follow-on effort. (1) The contractor shall be ineligible to participate in NRC contracts, subcontracts, or proposals therefor (solicited or unsolicited) which stem directly from the contractor's performance of work under this contract.
