Conflict of Interest Disclosure

Employees involved in any purchasing, solicitation, evaluation, contract, or vendor-selection activity must disclose any actual, potential, or perceived conflict of interest that could affect, or appear to affect, their impartiality or independent judgment.

A conflict may include a personal, financial, family, employment, or other relationship with a vendor or potential vendor, including any financial interest, gift, benefit, outside employment, or other circumstance that could influence or reasonably appear to influence a procurement decision.

Any potential conflict must be disclosed to Procurement before participating in the procurement, evaluation, recommendation, or award process. Procurement will coordinate with the appropriate University office, as necessary, to determine whether additional action, documentation, or recusal is required.

When in doubt, disclose. Disclosure does not necessarily mean that a conflict exists or that an employee will be prohibited from participating; it allows the University to review and appropriately manage the situation.
