FAR 3.603 is the rule that stops people from doing business with the government if it causes a conflict of interest. It keeps everything fair and honest.
FAR 3.603 says the government won’t do business with people who have unfair ties, like inside connections. It stops someone from helping write contract rules and then bidding on that same contract. This keeps things fair for everyone. It protects government contracts from conflicts of interest and makes sure all companies have an equal chance. This helps the government work better and more honestly.
FAR 3.603 says the government won’t award a contract if there’s a conflict of interest. This means someone can’t help with a project and also make money from it. It helps keep things fair and honest in government deals. Think of it like playing a game—if you make the rules, you can’t also be on the team. This rule protects contract integrity and helps federal buyers trust the process.
Many people misunderstand FAR 3.603, which bans contracts where a government employee might benefit. A common mistake is not checking if anyone involved has a financial interest in the deal. Others assume verbal approvals are enough, ignoring written conflict reviews. Skipping these steps can lead to serious legal trouble or canceled contracts. Always check for conflicts of interest and document everything clearly. Following the rules helps avoid delays and keeps your contract safe.
