DoD CRAF Assured Business Authority as Described in the FY2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA): USTRANSCOM has not implemented Assured Business on this contract. However, USTRANSCOM does have the authority to implement assured business if necessary. If implemented, awards for assured business will be allocated based on entitlement calculated by dividing each Contractor's mobilization value (MV) points by the total points of all entitled Contractors offering in the passenger and cargo category.

H-11. CONTRACTOR TEAM ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENTS.

The term “Contractor Team Arrangement” as used in this contract includes any and all permissible team arrangements identified in the FAR 9.6 and supplements thereto. Any teaming arrangements proposed for fulfillment of the requirements of this contract are subject to approval by the Government. All teaming arrangements must be documented and defined in a teaming arrangement agreement or similar document that defines the roles, responsibilities, and relationships of the parties thereto. All agreements shall be signed by all parties thereto.

Contractor Team Arrangement agreements must be submitted with their proposal submissions. Agreements submitted beyond the due date may be reason for Contractor Team Arrangement non-approval. To be approved, a Contractor Team Arrangement must demonstrate a benefit to the CRAF capability. The Contractor Team Arrangement will be incorporated into the contract upon award.

The following items are required to be evident in any Contractor Team Arrangement agreement submitted for CRAF participation:

a. The agreement shall include one (1) designated and authorized party to represent and bind the Contractor Team Arrangement in its dealings with the Government. This party shall submit and negotiate offers on the basic award for all members of the Contractor Team Arrangement. This includes, but is not limited to, scheduling and agreement on all scheduled missions. In addition, primary team representatives may designate individual carrier representatives to negotiate reroutes and expansion business and to sign modifications affecting reroutes or expansion business. Proposals that are part of a teaming arrangement shall be submitted as a single entity.

b. The term of the agreement shall correspond to the contract terms and POP. This means each two-year period of the contract, six-month extension, and the entire period of any CRAF activation plus up to six (6) months thereafter.

c. The agreement shall provide evidence of the commitment of aircraft by tail number for the entire periods stated in subparagraph b. above.

d. The agreement shall include a provision that a flyer will not be required to pay a commission* associated with their mission revenues** with a value in excess of 5% of the Government payments actually received by the flyer from the fixed or expansion buy missions (less euro-control) awarded. Commissions paid back to team members will not exceed the total cumulative amount paid into the team through commissions.

The team arrangement agreement shall include a provision that any team member may seek legal and/or equitable relief in the courts to enforce the 5% limitation or otherwise specify how the parties may enforce the agreement. On a quarterly basis, the team arrangement lead shall provide a commission rate report to reflect commission revenues paid/received per Appendix 3, paragraph A3.15; such reports shall be due not later than the 30 days following each January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. Such reports shall be treated by USTRANSCOM as commercial and financial information.

*Commission: fee, bonus, administrative fee, overhead fee or any other type or combination of consideration

**Revenue: Mission price less euro-control, Government fees, taxes, and customs that are reimbursable per the contract.

e. The agreement shall not have any terms contrary to the terms of the contract.

f. Agreements entered into between Offerors shall evidence joint and several liability as to committed CRAF capability as set forth in Request for Proposal (RFP) Attachment 4 and PWS Appendix 3A; and performance of missions and other contract services to include re-procurement costs for failure to provide service as specified in USTRANSCOM Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (TRANSFARS) 5552.247-9001 and TRANSFARS 5552.247-9002 and in the event of bankruptcy or loss of aircraft for other reasons. The agreement must specifically state team members are jointly and severally liable to replace any aircraft another team member removes (or is removed by USTRANSCOM) or fails to maintain control of for any reason, that impacts its aircraft commitment to the CRAF program. Agreements may specifically identify exclusions from joint liability of other debts or obligations of a member by the other members. With the exception of schedule reliability, agreements reflecting individual carrier liability replacing joint liability at trip departure time are acceptable.

g. The agreement shall evidence a unity of purpose between the parties.

h. Certificates shall be signed by each corporate secretary certifying the corporations are authorized to enter into a Contractor Team Arrangement agreement.

Offerors shall provide other available information the Contracting Officer may request, such as complete copies of leases, information regarding actions taken by the Offeror to increase its commercial air transportation revenues, data demonstrating the success it has achieved in this regard, and labor-management agreements or employment agreements to indicate the extent to which it has been successful in consummating "No Work Stoppage" agreements.
