FAR 3.103-3 is the rule that prevents people working for the government from showing bias or favoritism when giving out contracts. It helps keep the process fair and honest.
FAR 3.103-3 is about keeping things honest in government contracts. It says people must not exchange money or gifts to win a deal. This rule helps stop bribery and unfair actions. Everyone must play fair so the best company gets the job, not just the one with money or favors. This keeps trust in the process and protects taxpayers.
FAR 3.103-3 says government buyers and sellers must avoid bad behavior like sharing secret bid info. It makes sure everyone plays fair when competing for contracts. Think of it like keeping a game honest—no cheating, no peeking at someone else’s answers. This rule helps protect trust in the federal acquisition process and stops unfair advantages.
Many people misunderstand FAR 3.103-3 by not reporting conflicts of interest or by thinking small gifts are okay. A common mistake is not telling a supervisor when there’s a possible conflict, like a personal tie to a contractor. Another error is accepting free meals or items, even if they seem harmless. These actions can break the rules and get you in trouble. Staying honest and reporting concerns quickly helps protect your work and stay compliant with ethics rules.
