They affect whether a contractor can fairly compete, whether it has an unfair competitive advantage, whether it helped shape the requirement, whether it had unequal access to information, or whether it may be evaluating its own work.\nThis episode explains the three classic OCI neighborhoods: biased ground rules, unequal access to information, and impaired objectivity. It also covers team member and subcontractor conflicts, firewalls, mitigation plans, late-stage discovery, capture teams minimizing OCI, and the dangerous mindset of “we’ll deal with it if they ask.”\nBecause OCI does not become dangerous only when someone files a protest.\nIt becomes dangerous when your system allows the conflict to hide until someone else finds it.\nVisit GovConAdvisoryGroup.com to schedule a GovCon Risk Triage Call or run the Policy Control Diagnostic.\n#GovCon\n#GovernmentContracting\n#FederalContracting\n#TheGovConShow\n#OCI\n#OrganizationalConflictOfInterest\n#ContractRisk\n#ProposalRisk\n#CaptureManagement\n#SubcontractManagement\n#ProcurementIntegrity\n#FAR\n#DFARS\n ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/WivleeXGIwd_zHnQQqM8p41pOHA-SCzqvHtS6FeawHA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wMWY0/MGYxMjUxODQzMjk3/MjYyN2QwYWYzNWM3/YWFhNC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
