B-001 - GENERAL

This is a nonpersonal services Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, as defined by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 37.101. The Contractor shall provide, in accordance with issued Task Orders (TOs), the Department of State (DOS), Office of the US Global AIDS Coordinator and Global Health Diplomacy (S/GAC) and the Foreign Assistance (F) Bureau quality engineering, systems support, hosting, data collection, analysis, and operational and administrative management support services. TOs will provide Fixed, Burdened Hourly Labor Rates that include, but are not limited to: direct labor, applicable indirect expenses, and profit. The labor rates must also reflect expenses for contract management, including preparation of invoices, cost and technical proposals, contract status reports, etc., but must exclude travel, other direct costs, and associated General and Administrative (G&A) expenses.

Other than travel costs, the Government will not recognize any additional costs which are not made a part of the fully burdened labor rates. The DOS, Office of the Procurement Executive, Office of Acquisition Management (A/OPE/AQM) will issue Time-and- Materials (T&M), Labor-Hour (LH), or Cost-Reimbursable TOs, as required, and set forth in Contract section G, H, and I.

B-002 - CONTRACT TYPE

This is a single-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)

16.504 (Indefinite-Quantity Contracts).

Note: Because the Government anticipates that the majority of performance under the contract will be for services, “task order” is used predominantly throughout this contract. However, the Government reserves the right to issue delivery orders, also. Where a contract term or condition references “task order,” such term or condition shall also apply to “delivery order.”

The Government reserves the right to issue task orders utilizing any of the contract types, or a combination thereof, authorized by the

FAR.

If a task order will be performance-based, as described in FAR subpart 37.6 (Performance-based Acquisition), its requirements will be conveyed and administered at the task order level.

B-003 - MAXIMUM PROGRAM CEILING AND MINIMUM CONTRACT GUARANTEE

Pursuant to FAR 16.504(a), the total maximum quantity of all supplies and services under this Basic Contract shall not exceed $190M, including options.

The total minimum quantity, guaranteed by the Government, is $1.9M.

"CONUS" means "the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia." "TDY" means "anticipated to work less than a year."

f) The negotiated NTE fully loaded hourly rates apply only to performance by American Citizens.

g) Each negotiated NTE fully-loaded hourly labor rates apply regardless of whether the individual performing the labor category work (either as an employee or consultant) for the prime Contractor or subcontractor.

i) Each negotiated NTE fully loaded hours 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, including ODCs/non-labor-related direct costs. Any other costs that are part of the Contractor's established compensation plan and consistent with FAR Part 31 (Contract Cost Principles and Procedures) shall be allocated separately as an Other Direct Cost (ODC) at the task order level. Examples of such costs, if applicable, that shall be allocated separately as an ODC, are Post Hardship Differential Pay, Danger Pay, and Defense Base Act (DBA) insurance.

j) Any costs included in the negotiated NTE fully loaded hourly labor rates shall not be charged elsewhere under this contract.

k) Any costs not included, but should have been included, in the negotiated NTE fully loaded hourly labor rates shall not be charged elsewhere under this contract.

l) At the task order level, the Government will specify and/or follow the Contractor to propose the labor categories required for a given task order's performance. Contract-specified labor categories and discounted fully loaded hourly rates shall be used when applicable.

m) At the task order level, the Contractor will be given an opportunity to propose fully loaded hourly labor rates that match or are lower than the respective negotiated NTE fully loaded hourly labor rates.

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

• 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 for tools required to perform the work or for extended travel periods, extreme weather and road conditions requiring 4x4 capability) require other arrangements and Contracting Officer advance written approval is obtained.

• reasonable associated costs, such as gasoline, economy (standard) tolls and economy (standard) parking fees, are also generally allowable.

j) The Government will pay the Contractor for each Contractor employee's travel time to or from authorized work locations as long as the following are met:

k) The following items concern virus testing, proof of immunizations, 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 current and valid proof of negative virus testing, immunizations, and/or related waivers required by the destination country(ies) for unimpeded entry.

• 2. The Contractor shall ensure all personnel travelling outside the United States possess a current and valid United States passport(s) acceptable by the destination country(ies), to include expiration requirements (e.g., some countries require the passport expiration date be more than six (6) months from the date of travel).

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:

• 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.

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.

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, Iraq, and Syria 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.
