Decision question
Should Engineer X accept the agency's direct prime contract offer on the basis that no definite selection steps were taken toward Firms A or B, or decline the direct engagement out of relational obligation to his prior informal sub-consultant arrangements with those competing firms?
Focus
Engineer X Supplanting Prohibition Definite-Steps Threshold Verification: Whether Engineer X May Ethically Accept the Agency's Direct Prime Contract Offer Given His Prior Informal Sub-Consultant Arrangements with Competing Firms
Option1
Accept the agency's direct prime contract offer after affirmatively disclosing the prior informal sub-consultant arrangements with Firms A and B, satisfying both the anti-supplanting threshold verification and the Code's candor requirements before executing the contract.
Option2
Decline the agency's direct solicitation out of relational obligation to the prior informal sub-consultant arrangements with Firms A and B, deferring to those firms as the appropriate prime candidates even though no definite selection steps have been taken.
Option3
Accept the agency's direct prime contract offer on the basis that the anti-supplanting prohibition is not triggered absent definite selection steps, without affirmatively disclosing the prior informal arrangements to the agency, treating those arrangements as superseded by the agency's independent procurement judgment.
Role
Engineer X Specialist Expert Repositioned as Prime
