Bill > S3905

This bill, the Preventing Organizational Conflicts of Interest in Federal Acquisition Act, aims to prevent organizational conflicts of interest in federal government contracting. It requires the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to update the Federal Acquisition Regulation to provide clearer definitions and guidance on identifying and mitigating various types of organizational conflicts, such as unequal access to information, impaired objectivity, and biased ground rules. The bill also allows agencies to tailor solicitation provisions and contract clauses to address agency-specific conflict of interest risks, and requires agencies to establish or update their own conflict of interest procedures. The goal is to ensure federal contracts are awarded and performed without the influence of potential conflicts of interest.
