Abstract: Performance of VA mission 

requires the use of contractors. VAAR 

provision 852.209–70, Organizational 

Conflicts of Interest is to implement 

section 8141 of the 1989 Department of

award of the contract to the firm might 

involve a conflict of interest or potential 

conflict of interest, and, if so, to disclose 

all relevant facts regarding the conflict 

or potential conflict. The information is 

used by the contracting officer to 

determine whether or not to award a

contract terms and conditions are 

necessary to mitigate the conflict. 

An agency may not conduct or
