FAR out Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 We are bidding overseas work as a subcontractor. This work requires that our employess are sponsored. The prime contractor is requesting that we use a particular company for sponsorship. We have recently been notified that the prime contractor also owns the company that sponsors employees. Could this potentially be an OCI? Is there any place in the FAR that will help us in determining if an OCI exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 What do you mean by "the work requires our employee's to be sponsored"? I have never heard of that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vern Edwards Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 If you are competing for a subcontract that is to be awarded by a prime contractor, and that prime contractor wants you to obtain sponsorship of your employees from a particular third party that is owned by the prime contractor, then I see no organizational conflict of interest as explained in FAR Subpart 9.5. Please read the regulation. Something else that is improper might be going on, but what you have described is not an organizational conflict of interest.
