Security Requirement
The contractor and or their subcontractor(s) must meet the requirement to have a validated Facility Security Clearance (FSC) as stated by the contract DD254, at time of proposal submission. No contractor or subcontractor shall be under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) which would preclude them from meeting the FSC requirement.
Failure of any Offeror to obtain a FSC at the appropriate level or mitigate FOCI in accordance with DoD 5220.22M current version and AR 380-49 at time of proposal submission will be considered a failure to meet a material requirement of the solicitation, and the Offerors proposal will be considered non-compliant and ineligible for award.
Organizational Conflict of Interest
Organizational Conflict of Interest concerns on task orders should be identified and addressed as soon as practical with the Contracting Officer.
An OCI occurs when a contractors performance on one government contract may compromise its ability to perform on another government contract or may compromise its ability to compete for a government contract in a fair way.
The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) defines an OCI as a situation where because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a person is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government, or the persons objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or a person has an unfair competitive advantage.

Questions and Answers
Once the RFP has been issued, all communications shall be conducted only in writing and directly to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer.
Offerors shall not contact any other Government personnel other than the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer identified.
Contacting any other Government personnel may result in an organizational conflict of interest (OCI) and may result in the offeror being excluded from competition and award.
Thank you for your interest in Government Contracting.
