Contract Requirement:

The Contract Requirement column lists the contract’s six basic requirements and identifies the chapters/sections of the Statement of Work that fall under each. The column is not exhaustive and the BOP retains the right to withhold funds for nonperformance of obligations that are not explicitly listed in the column or that are implicit in the contract.

Vital Functions:

The Vital Functions column lists the essential tasks that make up each contract requirement. Failure to perform any aspect of these Vital Functions may justify withholding in accordance with the amounts listed in the Value column.

The Vital Functions column is not exhaustive and withholding may be warranted for failure to perform services that are not expressly enumerated.

The BOP retains the discretion to decide which Vital Function or Contract Requirement that a particular task or service falls under for withholding purposes.

Value:

The Value column lists the percentage of the contractor’s monthly invoice that the BOP may withhold for nonperformance of the corresponding contract requirement. For example, if a contractor fails to perform its monthly drug testing duty, which comes under the Programs and Activities Contract Requirement, the BOP may withhold up to 25% of the Contractor’s payment for that month.

The value assigned to each contract requirement reflects the relative importance of that requirement. For example, Safety, Security, and Order are considered the most important obligations and, as a result, have the largest value.

While the Value column sets a general range for withholding funds, it does not prohibit the BOP from exceeding the range and withholding more than the maximum amount. For example, if the Contractor commits an egregious

Safety, Security, and Order violation, then the BOP may have to withhold more than 30% of the Contractor’s invoice to account for the reduced value of the services that the Contractor rendered.

In addition, the BOP may aggregate withholdings. That is, if a Contractor consistently fails to comply with the contract, or neglects to remedy deficient performance over a period of months, then the BOP may aggregate the amounts owed for each month and withhold that amount from a single invoice. The aggregate withholding may exceed the range set in the Value column. For example, the BOP may attempt corrective action for several months and refrain from withholding funds during that period. If that corrective action fails, then the BOP may aggregate the amounts that should have been withheld during that time and deduct it from a single invoice. The BOP does not waive its right to withhold simply because it has opted to pursue other forms of corrective action first.
