FAR 3.302 is the rule that stops bad hiring by not letting people give jobs to their family in government deals. It helps keep hiring fair.
FAR 3.302 is about avoiding conflicts of interest in government contracts. It means people working on federal deals must stay fair and not let personal gain affect their decisions. This helps keep trust and fairness in the process, like making sure the referee doesn’t play for either team. It protects both the government and contractors.
FAR 3.302 explains what a personal conflict of interest is. It means someone working on a government contract might have outside interests that could affect how fair or honest they are. This rule helps protect decisions so they're made for the right reasons, not personal gain. It's important in government contract work to keep things fair, honest, and without bias.
Many people misunderstand FAR 3.302 by not spotting an improper business gift or favor when they see one. A common mistake is thinking small gifts are always okay—when even tiny perks can break the rules. Others forget that just offering a gift, even if it’s not accepted, can violate ethics rules. These errors can lead to serious trouble, including lost contracts or penalties. Always ask, “Could this look like a bribe?” If yes, don’t do it. Ethics matter in every deal.
