Abstract:
This Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) submission seeks renewal without changes of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval No. 2900-0418 for collection of information for the Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) provision 852.209-70. Performance of VA's mission requires the use of contractors. VAAR provision 852.209-70, Organizational Conflicts of Interest, implements section 8141 of the 1989 Department of Defense Appropriation Act, Public Law 100-463, 102 Stat. 2270-47 (1988). VAAR 809.507-1, Solicitation provisions, and VAAR provision 852.209-70, Organizational Conflicts of Interest, require offerors on solicitations for management support and consulting services to advise, as part of the firm's offer, whether or not award of the contract to the firm might involve a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest, and, if so, to disclose all relevant facts regarding the conflict or potential conflict. The information is used by the contracting officer to determine whether or not to award a contract to the firm or, if a contract is to be awarded despite a potential conflict, whether or not additional contract terms and conditions are necessary to mitigate the conflict.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The
