How conflicts actually happen
in Government Contracting

These diagrams show the relationship patterns ConflictCheck is designed to detect β€” before they become legal or financial crises.

The Kickback Triangle
A manager routes contracts to a secretly owned vendor, who pays kickbacks back. The owner pays inflated prices and never knows.

Documented Scenarios

These aren't hypotheticals.
They happen every day.

🚨
The Revolving Door
A retiring contracting officer joins a defense contractor and immediately begins bidding on a contract they helped scope β€” a potential Procurement Integrity Act violation.
🚨
The OCI Advisor
A consulting firm that helped an agency write the Statement of Work then bids on the resulting contract, having an unmitigated organizational conflict of interest that voids the award.
🚨
The Teaming Conflict
Two companies enter a teaming agreement to bid together, share proprietary data, then one company uses that data to bid independently β€” a fraud on both the partner and the government.
How It Works

Systematic protection,
not one-time audits.
