Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) as defined and discussed in FAR 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest, is a concern in all acquisitions across the Department of Defense. Early involvement with our industry partners is a key element of the OCI process, and it is critical for the Government to be able to identify any potential OCI issues as early as possible for an acquisition. This would allow ample time to address and evaluate any potential OCI issues, if required, prior to contract award with minimal impact to critical acquisition schedules. b. Interested vendors are requested to evaluate their potential OCI issues with regard to this requirement and identify those issues to the Contracting Officer (CO) in accordance with FAR 9.5 .
