not be knowingly disclosed, and have 

not been submitted for the purpose of 

restricting competition. This clause does 

not apply to commercial items. 

2. Contractor Code of Business Ethics 

and Conduct (FAR 52.203–13). This 

clause implements Government policy 

and Public Law 110–252, Title VI (Close 

the Contractor Fraud Loophole Act). It 

requires contractors to notify the 

respective agency Office of Inspector 

General when the contractor has 

credible evidence that the contractor’s 

principal, employee, agent, or 

subcontractor committed a violation of 

certain Federal criminal laws, or a 

violation of the Civil False Claims Act. 

The objective of the notification 

requirement is to emphasize the critical 

importance of integrity in contracting 

and reduce the occurrence of improper 

or criminal conduct in connection with 

the award and performance of Federal 

contracts and subcontracts. Information 

obtained from the notification 

requirements will be provided to the 

agency Inspector General by the 

contractor. 

3. Preventing Personal Conflicts of 

Interest (FAR 52.203–16). In accordance 

with 41 U.S.C. 2303, this clause requires 

contractors and subcontractors to: (a) 

Identify and prevent personal conflicts 

of interest of their covered employees; 

and (b) prohibit covered employees who 

have access to non-public information 

by reason of performance on a 

Government contract from using such 

information for personal gain. 

Contractors are required to notify 

contracting officers whenever they 

become aware of any personal conflict 

of interest violations by a covered 

employee. The objective of the 

notification requirement is to emphasize 

the critical importance of integrity in 

contracting and reduce the occurrence 

of improper or criminal conduct in 

connection with the award and 

performance of Federal contracts and 

subcontracts. Information obtained from 

the notification requirements will be 

provided to the agency Inspector 

General by the contractor. In addition, 

contractors have the opportunity, in 

exceptional circumstances, to request 

mitigation or waiver of the personal 

conflict-of-interest standards. The 

information is used by the Government 

to evaluate the requested mitigation/ 

waiver. 

The information provided to and by 

contractors in accordance with the 

clause at FAR 52.203–16 is used by the 

contractor and the contracting officer to 

identify and mitigate personal conflicts 

of interest in compliance with 

Government policy to (a) identify and 

prevent personal conflicts of interest of 

covered employees; and (b) prohibit 

covered employees who have access to 

non-public information by reason of 

performance on a Government contract 

from using such information for 

personal gain (FAR 3.1102). A notice 

was published in the Federal Register at 

82 FR 40582 on August 25, 2017. No 

comments were received.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

When the Government awards a costreimbursement construction contract, 

the contractor must submit to the 

contracting officer—and keep current a

with the work under the contract, and 

their respective duties. The chart is used 

in the administration of the contract and 

as an aid in determining cost. The chart 

is used by contract administration 

personnel to assure the work is being 

properly accomplished at reasonable 

prices.

19 were reduced based on FY 2017 

FPDS data that showed the actual 

number of respondents for this type of
