1. Refuse to take the job or give an endorsement, and notify your supervising contracting officer or the head of the contracting activity.
You are a FEMA employee assigned as a contracting officer to work with Five Star Generators. Five Star Generators’ current contract, worth over $10 million, is being re-competed. A Five Star Generators manager asks you to write an endorsement for the company to use on its bid. The manager also offers you a job.
The best course of action for you to follow is to refuse to take the job or give an endorsement, and notify your supervising contracting officer or the head of the contracting activity.
