Possible conflict of interest?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland

I work for a contractor supplying widgets for the government. Another contractor has a one time emergency need for me to build them a widget for their company. Is there a conflict of interest, or any other legal reason I couldn't perform this work?

This sounds an awful lot like a homework question, and we don't do homework. However, on the off chance that it is not, you would need to review your contract with the government. It will state what is and is not allowed.

I don't think "homework" but https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/48/52.203-13 at (c)(1).

Thanks for the replies. After re-reading my post, I can see how it might look like homework! Simply put, the contractor wants me to stand up a computer network for them. So even though it's not directly related to government work, I can see where it might be interpreted that way.

The first thought that comes to mind is that if his is an "emergency" by the time you get it sorted out on your laptop the emergency will likely have passed.

Now if you want to know your availability in case of another such emergency, then I'll need to pose some questions regarding the nature of your relationship with the contractor who has conned the government to think it has a need for these gadgets.
