Examples

1.A contractor that wrote the statement of work (SOW) for a follow-on production contract competing for that contract
2.An engineering firm that developed the system specifications for a weapons program competing for the development contract
3.A consultant that helped define the evaluation criteria for a services procurement competing for the services contract
4.A contractor that performed a trade study recommending a specific technical approach then competing to implement that approach

Mitigation Strategies

+Have the government independently review and validate all specifications and requirements documents
+Require the contractor to disclose any potential bias in its work products
+Exclude the contractor from competing in procurements where it set the ground rules
+Use a separate, independent team to develop evaluation criteria and technical requirements
+Release all contractor-developed specifications to all competitors with sufficient time to respond

Consequences

!Exclusion from the competition that the contractor helped shape
!GAO or COFC bid protest sustaining claims of biased specifications
!Invalidation of the procurement and requirement to re-solicit with independently developed requirements
!Potential organizational conflicts leading to follow-on exclusions across related procurements
!Loss of advisory and assistance contracts if the agency determines the contractor prioritized competitive positioning over objective advice
