The recipient or subrecipient must maintain written standards of conduct covering <br /> conflicts of interest and governing the actions of its employees engaged in the selection, <br /> award, and administration of contracts. No employee, officer, agent, or board member <br /> with a real or apparent conflict of interest may participate in the selection, award, or <br /> administration of a contract supported by the Federal award. A conflict of interest <br /> includes when the employee, officer, agent, or board member, any member of their <br /> immediate family, their partner, or an organization that employs or is about to employ <br /> any of the parties indicated herein, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible <br /> personal benefit from an entity considered for a contract. An employee, officer, agent, <br /> and board member of the recipient or subrecipient may neither solicit nor accept <br /> gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors. However, the <br /> recipient or subrecipient may set standards for situations where the financial interest is <br /> not substantial or a gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. The recipient's or <br /> subrecipient's standards of conduct must also provide for disciplinary actions to be <br /> applied for violations by its employees, officers, agents, or board members. <br /> b. If the recipient or subrecipient has a parent, affiliate, or subsidiary organization that is <br /> not a State, local government, or Indian Tribe, the recipient or subrecipient must also <br /> maintain written standards of conduct covering organizational conflicts of interest. <br /> Organizational conflicts of interest mean that because of relationships with a parent <br /> company,affiliate,or subsidiary organization,the recipient or subrecipient is unable or <br /> appears to be unable to be impartial in conducting a procurement action involving a <br /> related organization. <br /> c.
