Proposed Rule would expand scope of personal conflict of interest regulation

Under a proposed regulation, Individual contractors will face more conflict of interest scrutiny.

The Proposed rule:

DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement a section of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2013 to extend the limitations on contractor employee personal conflicts of interest to apply to the performance of all functions that are closely associated with inherently governmental functions and contracts for personal services.DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement a section of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2013 to extend the limitations on contractor employee personal conflicts of interest to apply to the performance of all functions that are closely associated with inherently governmental functions and contracts for personal services.

If it goes through, it would expand strictures against personal conflicts of interest beyond just contractors with non-governmental acquisition duties. That would make the scope of personal conflict of interest regulations match those controlling organizational conflict of interest.
