FAR 3.903 is the rule that stops people who work for the government from hurting workers who report bad behavior. This helps keep everyone fair and honest.
FAR 3.903 says government workers and contractors must not pressure others to give gifts or favors to keep or get a job. It helps stop unfair treatment during hiring or after getting a contract. Think of it like school—everyone should get a fair chance without needing to bring the teacher a gift. This rule is part of ethics rules in government contracts. It helps keep things honest and fair for everyone.
FAR 3.903 is about stopping personal conflicts of interest for contractor workers. It means people working on a government contract can’t let personal interests affect their job. Just like a referee can’t favor one team, contractors must stay fair and neutral when helping the government. This rule helps protect trust and fairness in government acquisitions and program management.
When dealing with FAR 3.903, a common mistake is forgetting to report suspected personal conflicts of interest. Some people also fail to train staff on rules about improper business gifts or favors. Another issue is thinking small actions don’t count—as even small favors can break the rules. These errors can lead to serious problems, like lost trust or broken contracts. To stay safe, always report concerns and follow ethics training. Being careful keeps your work fair and your team protected.
