Title: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2023-006, Preventing Organizational Conflicts of Interest in Federal Acquisition 
Abstract:

This rule will provide and update definitions, guidance, and examples related to organizational conflicts of interest (OCI), including the creation of solicitation provisions and contract clauses to avoid or mitigate OCI, that require contractors to disclose information relevant to potential OCI and limit future contracting. The rule will also permit contracting officers to take into consideration professional standards and procedures to prevent OCI to which an offeror or contractor is subject. This rule is being issued in accordance with the Preventing Organizational Conflicts of Interest in Federal Acquisition Act. The FAR Council received public comments on the proposed rule published in January 2025, which are being considered in development of the final rule.
