7. Contractor Identification.

In all situations where contractor personnel status is not obvious, all contractor personnel are required to identify themselves to avoid creating an impression that such contractor personnel are Government officials. This can occur during meeting attendance, through written (letter or email) correspondence or verbal discussions (in person or telephonic), when making presentations, or in other situations where their contractor status is not obvious to third parties. Contractor employee(s) must:

a. Not by word or deed give the impression or appearance of being a Government employee;

b. Wear appropriate badges visible above the waist that identify them as contractor employees when in Government spaces, at a Government-sponsored event, or an event outside normal workspaces in support of the contract/order;

c. Clearly identify themselves as contractor employees in telephone conversations and in all formal and informal written and electronic correspondence. Identification must include the name of the company for whom they work.

d. Identify themselves by name, their company name, if they are a subcontractor the name of the prime contractor their company is supporting, as well as the Government office they are supporting when participating in meetings, conferences, and other interactions in which all parties are not in daily contact with the individual contractor employee; and

e. Be able to provide, when asked, the full number of the contract/order under which they are performing, and the name of the Contracting Officer’s Representative.

f. If wearing a badge is a risk to safety and/or security, then an alternative means of identification may be utilized if endorsed by the Contracting Officer’s Representative and approved by the Contracting Officer.

g. The Contracting Officer will make final determination of compliance with regulations regarding proper identification of contractor employees.

7. Technical Direction.

Performance of the work under this contract shall be subject to the technical direction of the COR or designee. The term “technical direction” is defined to include, without limitation:

• Providing direction to the contractor that redirects effort, shifts work emphasis between work areas or tasks, requires pursuit of certain lines of inquiry, fills in details, or otherwise serves to accomplish the contractual performance work statement.

• Providing written information to the contractor that assists in interpreting specifications or technical portions of the work description.

• Reviewing and, where required by the contract, approving technical information to be delivered by the contractor to the Government.

Technical direction must be within the scope of work. It is the contractor’s responsibility to contact the Contracting Officer immediately in writing if there is even the appearance of any technical direction that is or may be outside the scope of the order. Upon receiving the notification from the contractor, the Contracting Officer will promptly advise the contractor that (1) technical direction is within the scope of the order and does not constitute a change; (2) the Government will issue a written modification; or (3) advise the contractor not to proceed with the instruction or direction by the COR.

A failure of the contractor and Contracting Officer either to agree that the technical direction is within the scope of the contract or to agree upon the contract action to be taken with respect to the technical direction will be subject to the provisions of the changes clause included in the contractor's Federal Supply Schedule contract.

4.0 Type of Contract

The payment provided for in the contract shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all materials and for performing all work under the contract in a complete and acceptable manner.

8.2 Payments

Invoices will be handled in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act (31 U.S.C. 3903) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-125, Prompt Payment.

The Contracting Officer will designate a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) at the time of award.

The COR is responsible for monitoring the performance of work under contracts awarded as written in the contract. In no event, however, will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of the contract be effective or binding upon the Government unless advance authorization is received from the Contracting Officer, and proper contractual documents executed by the Contracting Officer prior to performing the work.

The COR shall inform the Contracting Officer as soon as possible of any recommended modifications, and actions or inactions of the Contractor or the Government which could affect the Contractor’s ability to comply with the contract performance requirements or completion times.

Whenever, in the opinion of the Contractor, the COR requests work outside the scope of the contract, the Contractor shall so advise the COR. If the COR persists and there still exists a disagreement as to proper contractual coverage, the Contracting Officer shall be notified immediately.

PROCEEDING WITH WORK WITHOUT PROPER CONTRACTUAL COVERAGE AND APPROVAL OF THE CO

COULD RESULT IN A BREACH OF CONTRACT AND NONPAYMENT.

The designation (delegation of authority) shall be provided in writing to the COR and the Contractor. The delegation of authority shall clearly explain the COR’s role and responsibility on the contract, and limitations of authority.

Questions regarding contractual issues shall be directed to:
