The second set of <br />provisions is located at 24 CFR 570.61 1(a)(2). These provisions Cover situations not covered by parts <br />84 and 85. <br />With respect to procurement activities, the Professional Firm must maintain written standards of <br />conduct governing the performance of its employees engaged in the award and administration of <br />contracts. At a minimum, these standards must: <br />1) Require that no employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or <br />administration of a contract supported by federal funds if a real or apparent conflict would be <br />involved. Such a conflict would arise when any of the following parties has a financial or other <br />interest in the firm selected for an award: <br />a) An employee, officer, or agent' of the Professional Firm; <br />b) Any member of an employee's, officer's, or agent's immediate family; <br />c) An employee's, agent's, or officer's partner; or <br />d) An organization which employs or is about to employ any of the persons listed in the <br />preceding sections. <br />2) Require that employees, agents, and officers of the Professional Firm neither solicit nor accept <br />gratuities, favors, or anything of value from contractors, or parties to sub -agreements. However, <br />Professional Firms may set standards for situations in which the financial interest is not <br />substantial or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. <br />Page 13 of 20 <br />
