Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI): RTC is one of eight commands under ATEC responsible for both developmental and operational testing. As such, compliance with Title 10 United States Code Section 2399 and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 9.5 is a significant factor in award of this contract. The statutory OCI provision prohibits the involvement of a contractor in the operational test and evaluation of its own systems and equipment other than contractors who will support those systems in a combat deployment. In other words, contractors working on Army system development programs may not participate in ATEC support contracts for operational testing and evaluation. In order to address OCI issues early in the acquisition process, please respond to the following: a. Describe the process used to complete an enterprise review across all business and affiliates to identify any governmental developmental work performed as either a prime or subcontractor. 3.
