Attachment D.3 outlines the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) requirements for contractors to address organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) in healthcare service solicitations. This document, applicable to RFQ 36C2482-Q0064 for Interoperative Neuromonitoring Services and RFQ 36C24825Q0045 for On-site Board-Certified Diagnostic Radiology Physician Services, mandates that offerors, including their consultants and subcontractors, disclose any past, present, or planned financial, contractual, or organizational interests that could create an OCI. The VA aims to prevent situations where a contractor's impartiality or objectivity might be impaired, or where they might gain an unfair competitive advantage. Offerors must submit a statement detailing potential conflicts and how they propose to mitigate them. The Contracting Officer will review this information and may disqualify a contractor if an OCI cannot be satisfactorily mitigated. Nondisclosure or misrepresentation of conflicts can lead to contract termination. Appendix A provides a certification statement template for contractors to either declare no conflicts or provide a detailed statement of existing or potential conflicts.
The VA Handbook 6500.6, Appendix D, outlines the Contractor Rules of Behavior for individuals performing services under contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs. This User Agreement details the terms and conditions for accessing and using VA data, information systems, and sites, emphasizing that contractors have no reasonable expectation of privacy. It covers consent to monitoring, recording, and disclosure of activities by authorized VA and law enforcement personnel. Contractors must comply with VA's security and data privacy directives, report security incidents, and adhere to strict rules regarding system access, data usage, password protection, and the handling of sensitive information. The agreement prohibits unauthorized activities and personal use of VA systems, and mandates the use of VA-approved software and security measures. Subcontractors are also bound by these security requirements. The document concludes with an acknowledgment and acceptance form, underscoring the contractor's commitment to these terms, which do not supersede the terms of the signatory's employer and VA.

Key requirements include not knowingly employing, contracting, or subcontracting with illegal aliens or foreign nationals violating their immigration status. Contractors must also comply with all "E-Verify" requirements as per Executive Order 12989 and applicable Federal Acquisition Regulations. Failure to comply may result in the prohibition of individuals from working at VA-servicing locations and could lead to contract termination. Contractors are also required to obtain similar certifications from their subcontractors. This certification underscores the legal obligations and potential consequences for non-compliance, emphasizing the importance of legal immigration status for all personnel working under VA contracts.
