B.1 OVERVIEW

The Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA) in the U.S. Department of State’s (DoS) Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, oversees all U.S. Department of State Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) efforts. CWD is a foreign assistance program which comprises of two main lines of effort: 1) Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA), and 2) Small Arms/Light Weapons (SA/LW) threat reduction.

HMA assistance includes clearance of landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW; e.g. unexploded ordnance, improvised explosive devices, and abandoned ordnance); non-technical and technical survey to identify land contaminated by landmines and ERW; explosive ordnance risk education (EORE) for civilian populations vulnerable to the threats posed by landmines and ERW; medical, rehabilitative, psycho-social, and vocational assistance to survivors of landmine and/or ERW accidents; and capacity building for host nation governments to conduct survey, clearance, and EORE activities independent of sustained U.S. assistance programming.

SA/LW threat reduction assistance includes helping host nation security forces to differentiate obsolete, aging, unstable, and excess munitions from usable stockpiles; destroying obsolete/aging/unstable/excess munitions; strengthening munitions stockpile facilities with enhanced security measures and other physical infrastructure improvements; developing basic munitions inventory control systems; and building sustainable host government capacity in physical security and stockpile management (PSSM).

The U.S. Department of State provides CWD assistance to more than three-dozen countries globally. This assistance plays a critical role preventing nefarious actors from obtaining weapons and ammunition, enabling displaced communities to return to their homes after conflicts, facilitating economic development, enabling delivery of basic services, strengthening human security, and bolstering the capacity of our allies across the globe to manage arms and ammunition safely and securely.

The objective of this requirement is to acquire and receive supplies and services from the awardee for worldwide CWD activities as directed by PM/WRA. Tasks may include but not be limited to planning, organizing, training, deploying and operating contractor work parties to locate, destroy, safeguard, or remove landmines, SA/LW -- including advanced systems like Man Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS) and Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs), conventional ammunition, and to provide EORE.

g) For the labor categories requiring a Secret Clearance, which are identified in Section H.6.4.4 Personnel Qualifications/Requirements and again in Section J - Attachment C Price Schedule and Labor Rates, each negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rate consists of an unloaded hourly labor rate, any labor-related direct costs (e.g., any direct fringe benefits, any direct bonuses), applicable indirect costs, and profit amount. It does not include any other costs.

Any other costs that are part of the Contractor’s established compensation plan and consistent with FAR part 31 shall be allocated separately as an ODC (other direct cost) (under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements) or as a Material (under time-and materials arrangements) at the task order level. Examples of such costs, if applicable, that shall be allocated separately as an ODC or Material, are post hardship differential pay, danger pay, and DBA Insurance.

h) For the labor categories not requiring a Secret Clearance, which are identified in Section H.6.4.4 Personnel Qualifications/Requirements and again in Section J - Attachment C Price Schedule and Labor Rates, the negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rates apply to one or more of the following:

1. American National (AN): Individual who has legal status to work in the United States of America (e.g., United States citizen, United States resident alien, and individual with permit showing authorization to work in the United States);

It does not include any other costs.

Any other costs that are part of the Contractor’s established compensation plan and consistent with FAR part 31 shall be allocated separately as an ODC (other direct cost) (under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements) or as a Material (under time-and materials arrangements) at the task order level. Examples of such costs, if applicable, that shall be allocated separately as an ODC or Material, are post hardship differential pay, danger pay, and DBA Insurance.

j) For the labor categories not requiring a Secret Clearance, which are identified in Section H.6.4.4 Personnel Qualifications/Requirements and again in Section J - Attachment C Price Schedule and Labor Rates, the negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rates apply regardless of the nationality of the individual(s) performing the category.

3. A normal workweek of 40 hours is based on performance of eight hours per day multiplied by five days per week.

4. If the normal workweek for an individual task order differs from a 40-hour normal workweek, both parties will negotiate labor rates based on the normal workweek for the individual task order. Such negotiated rates will apply only to that task order, unless additionally negotiated into the contract.

n) The negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rates apply only to the labor categories specified in Section H.6.4.4 Personnel Qualifications/Requirements and again in Section J - Attachment C Price Schedule and Labor Rates. Any additional labor categories will be specified, and their associated labor rates will be negotiated at the task order level. Additional labor categories and associated labor rates negotiated for an individual task order will apply only to that task order, unless additionally negotiated into the contract.

o) For labor-hour arrangements and the time portion of time-and-materials arrangements, the Government will pay the negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rate minus to be inserted at award % attributable to profit for those hours the Contractor incurs when replacing or correcting services or materials [reference FAR 52.246-6(f) (Inspection – Time-and-Material and Labor-Hour)].

2. at the negotiated provisional billing indirect cost rates until revised billing indirect cost rates or final indirect cost rates have been established by the Contractor’s CFAO.

f) After any additional (other than just a name change) indirect cost rate description has been approved in writing by the Contractor’s CFAO, negotiation of provisional billing indirect cost rates and establishment of ceiling indirect cost rates associated with such description will occur after the CFAO has issued his prior written approval of such description. In such a case, the ceiling indirect cost rates shall not exceed 10% of the respective provisional billing indirect cost rates (e.g., provisional rate of 5.0%, ceiling rate shall not exceed 5.5%).

g) If any revised billing indirect cost rate or final indirect cost rate(s) established by the Contractor’s CFAO exceeds this contract’s respective ceiling indirect cost rate (see Section B.6), the Contractor shall be reimbursed at the contract’s ceiling indirect cost rate.

h) The Contractor shall make no change to its established method of classifying or allocating indirect costs without the prior written approval of the Contractor’s CFAO.

i) The Contractor’s fiscal year period is the period used by the Contractor for cost accounting purposes.

See Section B.5 (g) for the other usage of the negotiated ceiling indirect cost rates.

d) If the Government uses the quick-closeout procedure provided in FAR 52.216-7(f) (Allowable Cost and Payment), the Government will not pay indirect cost rates that exceed the respective negotiated ceiling indirect cost rates.

B.7 TRAVEL COSTS

a) Travel under this contract is defined as Contractor air and ground transportation, lodging, meals and incidental expenses (M&IE), and passport/visa costs.

b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Contractor shall be paid its allowable travel costs in accordance with FAR 31.205-46 (Travel Costs).

c) Travel costs are authorized for travel beyond a 50-miles’ radius of the Contractor employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) whenever work is required to be accomplished at a remote work site.

d) Local travel shall be processed as follows:

1. If the Government requires a Contractor employee to work an entire normal work day at a site other than the employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) and the radius between the two locations is within 50 miles, travel costs are generally allowable, but only for any difference in costs between the employee’s normal daily commuting expense and commuting expense resulting from the most economical means of transportation available to the employee after considering: any physical or medical needs of the employee; and mission requirements. Payment for time associated with such travel is unallowable.

2. If the Government requires a Contractor employee to work part of a normal work day at a site other than the Contractor employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) and the radius between the two locations is within 50 miles, all travel costs are generally allowable, but only for those costs resulting from the most economical means of transportation available to the employee after considering: any physical or medical needs of the employee; and mission requirements.

For this section, “part of a normal work day” is one in which the employee arrives at the start of his normal work day to his local place of performance (official duty station) and departs at the end of his normal work day from his local place of performance (official duty station). An example is an employee having to attend a meeting at a Department of State site in the middle of the work day.

Payment for time associated with such travel is generally allowable as long as such time is counted as part of the employee’s normal work day.

3. If the Government requires a Contractor employee to work part of a normal work day at a site other than the employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) and the radius between the two locations is within 50 miles, travel costs are generally allowable, but only for any difference in costs between the employee’s normal daily commuting expense and commuting expense resulting from the most economical means of transportation available to the employee, after considering: any physical or medical needs of the employee; and mission requirements.

For this section, “part of a normal work day” is only one of the following:

a. one in which the employee arrives at the start of his normal work day to his local place of performance (official duty station); or

b. one in which the employee departs at the end of his normal work day from his local place of performance (official duty station).

An example is an employee having to attend an all-morning local meeting and returning afterwards to his local place of performance (official duty station).

Payment for time associated with going from the employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) to a site other than the employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) is generally allowable as long as such time is counted as part of the employee’s normal work day. Payment for time associated with returning from a site other than the employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) to the employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) is generally allowable as long as such time is counted as part of the employee’s normal work day.

e) No travel costs (or associated labor time during travel) shall be allowable for regular commuting or telecommuting beyond (or within) a 50-miles’ radius of the Contractor’s local place of performance (official duty station).

f) Costs when using a privately owned vehicle (POV) for official travel are allowable provided that such costs do not exceed costs that would have resulted from use of other reasonable transportation methods (e.g., taxi, airplane, train). Reasonable associated costs, such as tolls and parking fees, are also generally allowable.

g) When traveling in a POV for official travel, the Contractor shall be paid mileage costs at a rate that does not exceed the POV mileage rate established by the Internal Revenue Service.

h) Costs for car rentals for official travel are allowable pursuant to the following:

1. such rentals are consistent with good business practice;

2. such costs do not exceed costs that would have resulted from use of other reasonable transportation methods (e.g., taxi, airplane, train); and

3. such costs do not exceed the actual cost of renting a compact automobile (maximum of one automobile for four Contractor personnel), unless extenuating circumstances (e.g., excess baggage) require other arrangements and Contracting Officer approval is obtained.

Reasonable associated costs, such as tolls and parking fees, are also generally allowable.

i) The Government will pay the Contractor, under the applicable labor category CLIN(s), for each Contractor employee’s travel time to or from authorized work locations as long as the following are met:

1. Payment of travel time described herein is in accordance with the Contractor’s established travel policy.

2. Travel time begins no earlier than two (2) hours prior to the scheduled departure time and concludes upon arrival to the initial destination point (e.g., airport) at the place of performance.

3. The Government will not pay for a contractor employee’s time spent in layovers that are for the convenience of the Contractor employee or Contractor.

4. The Government will not pay more than eight (8) hours per day per Contractor employee for travel time.

5. The Government will not pay for a contractor employee’s travel time that is outside the employee’s regular working hours.

6. The Government will not pay for a contractor employee more than the number of hours in the employee’s normal workweek. “Number of hours” includes productive time hours, travel time hours, and paid time off hours (e.g., sick, vacation, holiday).

7. “Productive time hours” consist of hours that, other than travel time hours, directly benefit the contract.

8. Exceptions must be authorized in advance and in writing by the Contracting Officer.

j) The following items concern passports and visas:

1. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all personnel who will be required to travel outside the United States have a current and valid U.S. passport.

2. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining any visas required for travel to foreign countries under this contract.

3. The Contractor’s costs for obtaining and maintaining passports and/or visas will be generally allowable, but the Contractor shall pro-rate equitably such costs if they will benefit cost objectives (e.g., contracts) other than this cost objective.

4. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for travel expenses when travel is cancelled or modified as a result of the Contractor’s failure to obtain a visa, and where the Government has determined that such failure is due to the action or inaction of the Contractor.

5. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for the use of private visa procurement services provided by a third party unless prior written approval was obtained by the Contracting Officer. When requesting written approval, the Contractor shall submit a cost-benefit analysis to the Contracting Officer.

k) Costs for travel that has been modified or cancelled are not allowable unless such modification or cancellation was caused by the Government or otherwise beyond the control of the Contractor.

l) Pursuant to FAR 47.402, 47.403, and the Fly America Act, the Contractor shall use a U.S.-flag air carrier service unless an exception exists. If such conditions exist under a fixed-price arrangement (i.e., task order or line item in a task order), the Contractor shall submit with its task order proposal a memorandum explaining why it does not intend to use a U.S.-flag air carrier service. Inclusion of such costs in the awarded fixed-price is contingent upon Government acceptance of such explanation.

If such conditions exist under arrangements when payment is made based on actual costs incurred (e.g., cost-reimbursement arrangements, materials portion of time-and-materials arrangements, and progress payments based on costs under fixed-price arrangements), the Contractor shall submit with its voucher a memorandum explaining why it did not use a U.S.-flag air carrier service. Reimbursement is contingent upon Government acceptance of such explanation.

B.8 POST HARDSHIP DIFFERENTIAL PAY AND DANGER PAY

Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay, which are forms of incentive compensation, will be generally allowable and allocated separately as an ODC or Material at the task order level. However, Government payment of such costs is contingent on the Contractor meeting all of the following requirements:

a) Paying Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay is part of the Contractor’s established incentive compensation plan or policy, or employer/employee agreement entered into in good faith before the services are rendered, pursuant to FAR 31.205-6(f)(1)(i) (Bonuses and Incentive Compensation).

b) When paying Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay is part of the Contractor’s established incentive compensation plan or policy, such plan or policy is followed consistently as to imply, in effect, an agreement to make such payment pursuant to FAR 31.205-6(f)(1)(i) (Bonuses and Incentive Compensation).

c) The Contractor’s basis for paying Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay is supported, pursuant to FAR 31.205-6(f)(1)(ii) (Bonuses and Incentive Compensation).

d) Payment of such costs is otherwise consistent with FAR subpart 31.2.

e) Payment will be made only for areas identified as Post Hardship Differential Pay areas and/or Danger Pay areas in Section 920 of the Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR).

f) Payment will be made only for eligible employees. Eligible employees are employees:

1. whose country of citizenship is not in the task order place of performance; and

2. whose primary residence is in an area not identified in Section 920 of the DSSR, or an area identified in Section 920 of the DSSR with an applicable DSSR percentage that is less than the respective applicable DSSR percentage for the task order place of performance.

g) Payment for a given workweek for an eligible employee will not exceed the dollar amount resulting from multiplying the applicable DSSR percentage by the employee’s basic compensation for the given workweek.

h) The applicable DSSR percentage will be the DSSR percentage effective at the time of task order proposal(s) (or upon task order award if feasible) under fixed-price arrangements (i.e., task orders or line items in a task order).

i) The applicable DSSR percentage will be the DSSR percentage effective at the time of task order performance for arrangements when payment is made based on actual costs incurred (e.g., cost-reimbursement arrangements, materials portion of time-and-materials arrangements, and progress payments based on costs under fixed-price arrangements).

j) An eligible employee’s basic compensation for a given workweek is the dollar amount attributable to the employee as a result of the employee’s productive hours and paid time off (e.g., sick, vacation, holiday) hours for the given workweek. It is the employee’s base salary/unloaded compensation for the given workweek.

However, such compensation must:

1. benefit the task order; and/or

2. be an equitable amount that is necessary to support the overall operation of the business, although a direct relationship to any particular cost objective (e.g., task order) cannot be shown.

k) The number of hours included in an eligible employee’s basic compensation for a given workweek cannot exceed the number of hours for the task order’s normal workweek. A normal workweek is defined in Section B.4 (m).

l) Basic compensation included in the fixed-price under fixed-price arrangements will consist of each eligible employee’s negotiated base salary/unloaded compensation for the task order period of performance.

m) Basic compensation will consist of actual incurred base salary/unloaded compensation for arrangements when payment is made based on actual costs incurred (e.g., cost reimbursement arrangements, materials portion of time-and-materials arrangements, and progress payments based on costs under fixed-price arrangements).

n) An eligible employee may receive Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay during paid time off only when the employee takes paid time off in the task order place of performance or in another Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay area, respectively.

o) When an eligible employee takes paid time off in another Post Hardship Differential Pay and/or Danger Pay area, payment will be based on the applicable DSSR percentage(s) for the task order place of performance.

p) Payment of Post Hardship Differential Pay for an eligible employee will not commence until the eligible employee has served 42 calendar days in the task order place of performance. Payment will commence on the first productive or non-productive day after day 42 and will not be retroactive to days previously served unless paragraph “q” immediately below applies.

The 42 calendar days are not required to be consecutive, and “served” consists of productive time, paid time off, and time otherwise spent in the task order place of performance.

q) Once an eligible employee has served 42 calendar days in the task order place of performance, payment of Post Hardship Differential Pay will be retroactive to day 1 served in the task order place of performance if the task order place of performance is in an area identified in Footnote N in the Post Classification and Payment Tables in Section 920 of the DSSR. Currently, Afghanistan and Iraq are the only such areas.

r) Payment of Post Hardship Differential Pay for an eligible employee will conclude when the eligible employee departs the task order place of performance, unless such departure is to another Post Hardship Differential Pay area during paid time off.

s) For Post Hardship Differential Pay, when an eligible employee has not yet served 42 calendar days and returns to the task order place of performance after an absence from the task order place of performance, the number of days served resumes on the day of return. For example, if an eligible employee served 30 calendar days in the task order place of performance and departed the task order place of performance for 14 days, the day of return (day 44) will be considered day 31 of days served.

t) Payment of Danger Pay for an eligible employee will commence on the day of arrival in the task order place of performance and conclude on the day of departure from the task order place of performance, unless such departure is to another Danger Pay area during paid time off.

B.9 DEFENSE BASE ACT (DBA) INSURANCE

a) DBA Insurance costs shall be allocated separately as an ODC or Material at the task order level.

b) DBA Insurance costs are unallowable for performance in the United States.

c) DBA Insurance costs are generally allowable for performance outside the United States, but only for covered Contractor and subcontractor employees. The following are covered Contractor and subcontractor employees:

1. United States citizens or residents;

2. Individuals hired in the United States or its possessions, regardless of citizenship; and

3. Local nationals and third country nationals where task order performance takes place in a country where no Department of Labor waiver has been issued (see https://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/dbawaivers/ dbawaivers.htm).

c) In addition, DBA Insurance costs are generally allowable for performance outside the United States, but only when such costs accord with the terms of the Contractor’s DBA Insurance policy, law, and regulation.

d) The Contractor’s DBA Insurance policy shall be with a carrier approved by the United States Department of Labor to provide DBA Insurance, or the Contractor shall be a self-insured employer authorized by the United States Department of Labor to provide DBA Insurance.

B.10 OVERTIME

a) The Contractor agrees to perform this contract, so far as practicable, without using overtime, particularly as a regular employment practice, except when lower overall costs to the Government will result or when it is necessary to meet urgent program needs [reference FAR 22.103-2 (Overtime – Policy)].

b) Overtime is defined as time worked in excess of the number of hours in a normal workweek.

c) “Number of hours” includes productive time hours, travel time hours, and paid time off hours (e.g., sick, vacation, holiday).

d)…
