B-002 - Type of Contract

This is a hybrid-type contract that will include firm-fixed price and cost-reimbursement components.

B-003 - OFFERS AND PAYMENT IN LOCAL CURRENCY

U.S. firms are eligible to be paid in U.S. dollars. U.S. firms desiring to be paid in U.S. dollars should submit their offers in U.S.

dollars. A U.S. firm is defined as a company which operates as a corporation incorporated under the laws of a state within the United States.

NOTE: The definition of a U.S. Firm for payment purposes should not be confused with the definition of U.S. Person for purpose of applying U.S. preference in the proposal evaluation. (See Section K for U.S. Person definition.)

FOREIGN FIRMS. Any firm, which is not a U.S. firm, is a foreign firm. Any firm that does not meet the above definition of U.S.

firm shall submit its prices and receive payment in local currency.

B-004 - PAYMENT, CEILING, AND WITHHOLDING

The Government will pay the Contractor for the number of days worked.

The Contractor shall not exceed the ceiling prices, shown in pricing tables in Section B, either in total or for any category, unless the Contracting Officer (CO) signs a written contract modification to increase the ceiling.

The Government shall impose a deduction from the amount of payment for each instance of unacceptable performance or non-performance in accordance with the Quality Assurance and Surveillance Plan (QASP).

B-005 - EMPLOYEE SALARY BENEFITS

The Government shall have no responsibility or liability for payment of any wages or benefits to Contractor's employees. The Government, its agencies, agents, and employees shall not be part of any legal action or obligation regarding these benefits, which may subsequently arise. Where local law requires bonuses, specific minimum wage levels, and premium pay for holidays, payments for social security, pensions, severance, sick or health benefits, childcare or any other benefit, the Contractor is responsible for these payments. The Contractor shall submit evidence of compliance with this requirement upon request by the Government. The rates/ prices in Section B and Section J, Attachment 2, shall include all such costs.

If, under the law of any jurisdiction, the Government is considered directly or subsidiarily liable for the payment of any amount to any party on the basis of Contractor’s breach of labor or employment laws, or in the event an employee of the Contractor names the Government in such an action, the Government will be entitled to reimbursement from the Contractor of all expenses incurred in any legal action initiated regarding any wages, benefits, allowances, premiums, or any other labor claims, as well as the indirect costs entailed by the legal action – including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, court costs, and employee time. The Contractor is obliged to reimburse the Government of all such expenses within thirty days of receipt of notification of expenses incurred.

B-007 - OTHER COSTS

This section includes non-labor costs required by this contract. All costs, with the exception of Reimbursable Materials, and VAT, are firm-fixed priced monthly rate. The firm-fixed price ODC CLINs are not subject to a price adjustment unless the threshold in the Variation in Quantity clause is exceeded. All equipment required for contract performance shall be new at the time of the notice to proceed.

B-007.1 - DEFENSE BASE ACT (DBA) INSURANCE

a) DBA Insurance costs shall be included in CLINs 0006, 1006, 2006, and 3006 and will be paid for on a cost-reimbursable basis with no fee.

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 contract performance takes place in a country where there are no local worker’s compensation laws.

d) 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.

e) 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-007.2 - AIRFARE AND TRANSIT COSTS

CLINs 0007, 1007, 2007, 3007 – Airfare and Transit Costs: these CLINs shall be used to account for airfare and other transit costs, e.g. airport transport or parking, incurred for travel between a contractor employee’s place of residence and their local place of performance (official duty station).

Travel outside of the place of performance, if required in the performance of this contract as outlined in the Statement of Work, Attachment 1, paragraph 5.3 would also be billable under this CLIN.

These costs will be paid for on a cost-reimbursement basis with no fee. Travel estimates shall be provided to the Contracting Officer’s Representative for review and approval prior to the commencement of any travel contained within this CLIN.

B-007.3 - TASK MOBILIZATION

CLINs 0008, 1008, 2008, and 3008 – Task Mobilization: costs for mobilization may include costs to obtain visas, medical clearance and/or vaccinations, uniforms, etc. The negotiated firm-fixed price shall consist of all costs necessary to successfully mobilize in support of the training tasks listed in the Statement of Work.

B-007.4 - TRAINING SUPPORT MATERIALS/ EQUIPMENT

CLINs 0009, 1009, 2009, and 3009 – Training Support Materials/Equipment: the negotiated firm-fixed price shall consist of all costs necessary to procure and delivery the training equipment denoted in Appendix 1A and Appendix 1B in the Statement of Work.

B-007.5 - OTHER DIRECT COSTS (ODCS)

CLINs 0010, 1010, 2010, and 3010 – ODCs: these CLINs shall cover the costs for lodging, meals, incidentals, and in-country transportation. The negotiated firm-fixed price shall consist of all costs necessary to successfully support the training tasks listed in the Statement of Work.

B-017 - ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING

a) When payment is made based on actual hours or costs incurred (e.g., cost-reimbursement arrangements, time-and-materials arrangements, and progress payments based on costs under fixed-price arrangements), the Government will not reimburse costs for cost elements for which there were no estimated costs. Any exceptions must be issued by the Contracting Officer.

b) The negotiated prices for each task order include all costs associated with local laws. If a change in a local law(s) or new local law(s) occurs after task order award, the Government will consider a request for equitable adjustment. Any adjustment will be limited to reflect the Contractor’s actual increase or decrease in applicable wages and other costs to the extent that the increase is made to comply with the changed or new local law(s), or the decrease is voluntarily made by the Contractor while complying with the changed or new local law(s), respectively. For example, the prior year local law required a minimum wage rate of $4.00 per hour. The Contractor chose to pay $4.10 per hour. The changed local law increases the minimum rate to $4.50 per hour. Even if the Contractor voluntarily increases the rate to $4.75 per hour, the allowable price adjustment is $.40 per hour ($4.50 minus $4.10).

c) While compensation costs and compensation-related taxes that are a liability of the Contractor are generally allowable, income taxes on compensation costs are unallowable when such taxes are a liability of the employee and not the Contractor. When a host country’s law(s) requires the Contractor to pay applicable host entities any income taxes that are the liability of the employee, the Contractor’s costs to administer such payment are generally allowable and shall be allocated directly at the task order level.

d) Where indirect cost rates are negotiated in the contract, such information will be used, as specified in the contract, according to the Contractor’s fiscal year period.

B-007.6 - POTC EQUIPMENT

CLINs 010, 1010, 2010, and 3010 – POTC Equipment: the negotiated firm-fixed price shall consist of all costs necessary to procure and delivery the training equipment denoted in Appendix 1A and Appendix 1B in the Statement of Work.
