Manage Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI)

Use this screen to set up and maintain organizational conflicts of interest that you can track and associate with opportunities, contracts, and projects.

An OCI is a circumstance in which a contractor may have unequal access to government information, or the existence of conflicting roles that might bias a contractor's judgment, either of which could lead to an unfair competitive advantage.

You can use this screen to identify and link OCIs to opportunities that may be in conflict with an existing project or other opportunities. You can track and search OCI reviews, clearance dates, and key terms. You can also track activities (for example, meetings and phone conversations) around the OCI. In addition, you can pull and link subcontractors/vendors and employees who have worked on conflicting projects.

You can link an OCI record to multiple opportunities and projects. Only one master contract, however, can be associated with an OCI record.

OCI records linked to an opportunity display on the Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Records subtask of the Manage Opportunities screen. This list gives you an overview of all conflicts of interest the opportunity may have, and can help you decide whether to pursue the opportunity or not.
