What is meant by conflicts of interest?

Suppliers responding to a solicitation cannot have a conflict of interest. In addition, a supplier cannot create an appearance of impropriety. The Austin Community College (ACC) is required by law to ensure fairness in the award of contracts and has implemented policies pursuing fair and open competition. 

All suppliers responding to a solicitation must provide either a statement outlining possible conflicts or a statement asserting that no conflict exist. All respondents that are awarded a contract are required to notify ACC of any emerging conflicts.

ACC reserves the right to assess possible conflicts and reject bids or proposals due to a conflict.

To avoid misuse of tax-supported resources and avoid inappropriate use of ACC District resources for personal gain, activities that would violate applicable state laws or board policy are prohibited.
