VI. The Consent Agreement The Consent Agreement remedies the acquisition’s likely anticompetitive effects by requiring, whenever Northrop competes for a missile system prime contract, that Northrop must make its SRM products and related services available on a non-discriminatory basis to all other third-party competing prime contractors that wish to purchase them. The non-discrimination prohibitions of the Consent Agreement are comprehensive and apply to any potential discriminatory conduct affecting price, schedule, quality, data, personnel, investment, technology, innovation, design, or risk. The Consent Agreement requires Northrop to establish firewalls to ensure that Northrop does not transfer or use any proprietary information that it receives from competing missile prime contractors or SRM suppliers in a manner that harms competition. These firewall provisions require that Northrop maintain separate firewalled teams to support offers of SRMs to different third-party missile prime contractors and to maintain these firewalled teams separate from the team supporting Northrop’s missile prime contractor activities. The firewall provisions also prohibit Northrop’s missile business from sharing proprietary information it may receive from third-party SRM suppliers with Northrop’s SRM business. The Consent Agreement also provides that the DOD’s Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment shall appoint a compliance officer to oversee Northrop’s compliance with the Order. The compliance officer will have all the necessary investigative powers to perform his or her duties, including the right to interview respondent’s personnel, inspect respondent’s facilities, and require respondents to provide documents, data, and other information. The compliance officer has the authority to retain third-party advisors, at the expense of Northrop, as appropriate to perform his or her duties. Access to these extensive resources will ensure that the compliance officer is fully capable of overseeing the implementation of, and compliance with, the Order.
