Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Certification and Disclosure

The contract requires the preparation and submission of Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) disclosure statements to identify and mitigate any prior engagements that could create a bias or an unfair competitive advantage in relation to upcoming work. This certification process is critical to ensure impartiality and fairness in federal contracting activities, particularly where the contractor has previously participated in related projects or advisory roles that might influence future decisions or outcomes. The disclosure must be thorough and submitted by the deadline to maintain eligibility for performance under this subcontract. This is a subcontract under the Department of State, specifically tied to the American Embassy Bogota, and falls under the NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services. The response deadline is August 31, 2026, with the solicitation posted in August 2026, providing potential offerors a limited window to assess prior engagements and compile required documentation. There is no specified set-aside classification, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible entities regardless of size or status. Compliance with OCI requirements is mandatory and will be evaluated as part of the subcontracting eligibility process, making accurate and timely disclosure essential to avoid disqualification or future liability.
