Scenarios

• You are a sub to a large prime on a newly awarded
  IDIQ contract. In hopes of garnering workshare
  on the contract, you offer to treat primes key
  personnel to a nice dinner and a sporting event.
  Are you allowed to treat the primes key
  personnel in hopes of gaining workshare on the
  contract?

53
Answers

• (A) No because it violates procurement integrity
  by giving favorable treatment for workshare in
  exchange for gratuities
• (B) No because it is considered a subcontractor
  kickback
• (C) Yes because federal procurement regulations
  only pertain between the government and the prime
• (D) Yes because it is a common relationship
  development process between companies in federal
  contracting

54
The Correct Answer Is

• (A) and (B) Providing gifts of any kind to a
  prime to potentially influence their decision in
  utilizing your services as a sub is considered a
  subcontractor kickback.
• There is a gray area pertaining to developing a
  relationship between a prime and sub, but an
  overt effort to influence a primes decision
  involving a gift, gratuity, money, or anything of
  value is considered improper.
• The penalties are just as stringent for prime
  personnel that attempt to solicit kickbacks.
• The Anti-Kickback Act of 1986 (41 U.S.C. 51-58)
  was passed to deter this sort of behavior.

55
Scenarios

• As youre planning to prepare your bid for a
  formal solicitation, a competing company, with
  equal technical competency, contacts you to do a
  flip-flop teaming arrangement for a 50/50
  workshare post-award. Given your interest to
  increase your chances of getting work post-award,
  you decide to move forward. Is this allowed?

56
Answers

• (A) Yes, as long as you do not share joint
  proposal information, technical offering, or past
  performance data.
• (B) Yes, as long as you do not share and
  implement joint pricing data, price estimates, or
  overall price strategy
• (C) No because the filing of a joint bid by two
  or more competitors when at least one of the
  competitors has sufficient technical capability
  and capacity for contract performance is not
  allowed

57
The Correct Answer Is

• (B) Antitrust Violations are called into play
  when pricing information or estimates are shared
  between two bidding companies, including
  near-identical pricing, follow the leader
  pricing, identical pricing verbiage in proposal,
  etc.
• In any basic teaming scenario, it is not
  considered collusion when companies share
  technical data or proposal information outside of
  pricing.
• If non-price proposal information is identical as
  indicated in answer (C), that would bring into
  question the possibility of collusion.

58
