FAR 3.602 is the rule that stops people in the government from buying things when they have a conflict of interest, making sure everything is fair and honest.
FAR 3.602 says the government can't buy from a company if a government worker helps make the decision and also has a job offer from that company. This rule stops conflicts of interest. It's like not letting a referee pick the winner if they work for one of the teams. It keeps government deals fair and honest.
FAR 3.602 says the government can’t buy from a company if a government worker owns part of it. This rule helps stop unfair deals and keeps things honest. It’s like a referee not playing on the team—they must stay neutral. This protects the process and builds trust in government contracts.
A common mistake with FAR 3.602 is not spotting when a government employee has a financial interest in a contractor. This can cause serious conflicts and break the rules. Another error is forgetting to check if someone has a close family or business tie with the contractor. Some people think it’s okay if the deal seems fair, but FAR 3.602 says even the appearance of a conflict is a problem. Ignoring this can lead to canceled contracts or legal trouble.
