CONTRACTOR ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST f

I represent to.the best of my knowledge.and belief that:

f t

The award to TECHNIQUES IN WOOD of a contract or the

{

modification of an existing contract does L,/ or does not ef/ involve situations or relationships of the type set forth in_41 CFR paragraph 20-1. 5403(b)(1 ).

l If the representation as completed indicates that situations or ' relation-i ships of the type set forth in 41 CFR 20-1.5403(b)(1) are involved or the j

. Contracting Officer otherwise determines that potential organizational conflicts exist, the offeror shall provida a statement in writing which

{

describes in a concise man.ser 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-i (a) impose appropriate conditions which avoid such conflicts, (b) disqualify the offeror, or l

-(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 i

i 20-1.5411.

t The refusal to provide the representation required by $20-1.5404(b) or upon request of the Contracting Officer the facts required by 820-1.5404(c),

l shall result in disqualification of the offeror for award. The nondisclo-sure or misrepresentation of any relevant interest may also result in the i

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 disqualified from subsequent i

related NRC contracts and be subject to such other remedial actions pro-i vided by law or the resulting contract.

j The offeror may, because of actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest, propose to exclude specific kinds or work from the statements of work contained in an RFP unless the RFP specifically prohibits 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-posed excluded work to be an essential or integral part of the required work and its exe.lusion would work to the detriment of the competitive i

posture of the other offerors, the proposal must be rejected as unacceptable.

The offeror's failure to execute the representation required herein with l

respect to invitation for bids will be considered to be a minor infomality, i

and the offeror will be pemitted to correct the omission.

j 1

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.

j (a) If items called for by this IFB have been identified in the I

schedule by a " brand name or equal" description, such identification is intended to be descriptive, but not restrictive, and is to indicate the quality and characteristics of products that will be satisfactory.

Offers offering " equal" products (including products of the brand name manufacturer other than the one described by brand name) will be considered for award if such products are clearly identified in the offers and are determined by the Government to meet fully the salient characteristics requirements listed in the IFB.

(b) Unless the offeror clearly indicates in his offer that he is offering an " equal" product, his offer shall be considered as offering a brand name product referenced in the IFB.

s (c)(1) If the offeror proposes to furnish an " equal" product, the brand name, if any, of the product to be furnished shall be inserted in the space provided in the IFB, or such product shall be otherwise clea rly identified in the offer. The evaluation of offers and the determination as to equality of the product offered shall be the responsibility of the Government and will be based on information furnished by the offeror or identified in his offer, as well as other information reasonably available to the purchasing activity. CAUTION TO 0FFER0RS: The purchasing activity is not responsible for locating or securing any information whien I

is not identified in the offer and reasonably availabe to the purchasing activity. Accordingly, to insure that sufficient information is available, i

the offeror must furnish as a part of his offer all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, or other information) necessary for the purchasing activity to (1) determine whether the product offered meets the salient characteristics requirements of the IFB and (ii) establish exactly what the offeror proposes to furnish and what the Government would i

be binding itself to purchase by making an award. The information furnished may include specific references to information previously furnished or to information otherwise available to the purchasing activity.

(2) If the offeror proposes to modify a product so as to make it conform to the requirements of the IFB, he shall (1) include in his offer a clear description of such proposed modifications and (ii) clearly mark any l

descriptive material to show the proposed modifications.
