Contracting with the Government

Our Commitment

We follow all applicable regulations, Company policies and other requirements, including security procedures, that apply to doing business, directly or indirectly, with any government agency. The rules for supplying products and services to the government are stricter and more complex than those that govern our commercial dealings. We are committed to upholding our high standards of integrity and transparency at all times when working with government agencies.

How We Act with Integrity

Integrity in Action

I’ve been working on a project under a government contract which has fallen behind schedule because there are so many testing requirements. The tests are repetitive, and I don’t think skipping some will affect the quality of the final product. Is it okay if I only conduct the tests that I consider absolutely necessary?

No. You must conduct all tests required by the government contract and accurately record all results. Failure to follow the test procedures set out in the contract could result in injury to other persons and property. It can also lead to big fines and prevent future contracts.

Integrity in Action

A government employee that I worked with at a prior company has offered to share the specific criteria that the government will use to evaluate proposals for a potential contract. Can I accept this offer?

No. You are not permitted to solicit or accept internal government information about its selection process unless you have received express authorization from the applicable government contracting officer. Contact the Law Department if anyone approaches you with unauthorized internal government information.
