Additional Information:

In accordance with the Procurement Integrity Act (41 USC § 423); (41 U.S.C. § 21) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 3.104, potential contractors are strictly prohibited from making direct contact with Federal Government program managers, engineers, or any other personnel seeking products or services other than the contracting officer or contracting specialist responsible for that contract opportunity.

Individuals who violate the procurement integrity provisions may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, and administrative remedies. The penalties are discussed under 41 U.S.C. Chapter 21 (4) and FAR 3.104-8. It is essential for all potential contractors to be fully aware of and compliant with these regulations.

Contracting officers and contracting specialists, who announce contract opportunities on SAM.gov, act as the liaisons between the Federal Government and potential contractors. As such, all inquiries, questions, or concerns from interested contractors should be sent exclusively to the contracting officer or contracting specialist who posted the contract opportunity announcement.

Upon receipt, the contracting officer or contracting specialist will relay these to the relevant program managers or engineers for feedback. After accumulating all necessary information to address these inquiries, the contracting officer or contracting specialist will then update the related contract opportunity announcement and ensure its public accessibility on SAM.gov to uphold transparency and the integrity of the procurement process.

Private firms must be able to compete for the government’s business on a scrupulously fair basis. Fairness is a pre-requisite of government acquisition due to the government’s unique position as representatives of the citizens of the United States. Government personnel who are associated with the acquisition process have a responsibility to protect its integrity by maintaining fairness in the government’s treatment of all firms. Thank you for your cooperation, and adherence to these laws, and regulations.
