AVOIDANCE OF RESTRICTIONS ON TRADE
BBNC will not enter into a subcontract
or teaming agreement that
unreasonably restricts sales by the
other company directly to the U.S.
Government of items made or supplied
by the other company and will not
otherwise act to restrict unreasonably
the ability of any other company to

integrity of the government’s
procurement process.
Your Responsibilities
