FAR 3.404 is about avoiding unfair help in government contracts. It stops contractors from getting extra info that gives them an edge.

Many people misunderstand FAR 3.404 by not checking for real or apparent conflicts of interest. A common mistake is letting personal connections influence decisions, which can break the rules. Another error is not reporting when something seems off—like special favors or gifts. Beginners often think small things don’t matter, but even minor issues can raise big red flags. Following the ethics rules in FAR 3.404 helps keep government work fair, honest, and legal. Always report problems and avoid risky situations.
