Utah Admin. Code R33-124-106 - Personal Relationship, Favoritism, or Bias Participation Prohibitions
(1) Employees are
prohibited from participating in discussions or decisions relating to the
procurement, contracting, or administration process if they have any type of
personal relationship, favoritism, or bias that would appear to a reasonable
person to influence their independence in performing their assigned duties and
responsibilities relating to the procurement process, contracting, or contract
administration or prevent them from fairly and objectively evaluating a
proposal in response to a bid, Request for Proposal (RFP), or other
solicitation. This provision may not be construed to prevent an employee from
having a bias based on the employee's review of a response to the solicitation
in regard to the criteria in the solicitation.
(2) If an employee has a personal
relationship, favoritism, or bias toward any individual, group, organization,
or vendor responding to a bid, RFP, or other solicitation, the employee must
make a written disclosure to the supervisor and the supervisor shall take
appropriate action, which may include recusing the employee from discussions or
decisions relating to the solicitation, contracting, or administration matter
in question. This provision may not be construed to prevent an employee from
having a bias based on the employee's review of a response to the solicitation
in regard to the criteria in the solicitation.
