<br /> Conflicts of Interest
<br /> No employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract
<br /> supported by a FEMA award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such a conflict would
<br /> arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner,
<br /> or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties,has a financial or other interest
<br /> in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for award. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1); See also
<br /> Standard Form 424D, ff 7; Standard Form 424B, ¶ 3. i. FEMA considers a "financial interest" to be the
<br /> potential for gain or loss to the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his
<br /> or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties as a result of
<br /> the particular procurement. The prohibited financial interest may arise from ownership of certain financial
<br /> instruments or investments such as stock, bonds, or real estate, or from a salary, indebtedness,job offer,
<br /> or similar interest that might be affected by the particular procurement. ii. FEMA considers an "apparent'
<br /> conflict of interest to exist where an actual conflict does not exist, but where a reasonable person with
<br /> knowledge of the relevant facts would question the impartiality, of the employee, officer, or agent
<br /> participating in the procurement. c. Gifts. The officers, employees, and agents of the Participating Public
<br /> Agency nor the Participating Public Agency ("NFE") must neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or
<br /> anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. However, NFE's may set standards
<br /> for situations in which the financial interest is de minimus, not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item
<br /> of nominal value. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). d. Violations. The NFE's written standards of conduct must
<br /> provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or
<br /> agents of the NFE. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). For example, the penalty for a NFE's employee may be
<br /> dismissal, and the penalty for a contractor might be the termination of the contract.
