Article Number Reference Text 52.246-6 Inspection-Time-and-Material and Labor-Hour (May 2001)

This paragraph details the means of inspection of any services performed under this contract. The contractor shall provide and maintain an inspection system acceptable to the Government covering the services under this contract. Complete records of all inspection work performed by the contractor shall be maintained and made available to the Government during contract performance and for as long afterwards as the contract requires. In order for the services to be acceptable to the Government, the services must meet all requirements outlined in Section C of the contract. If the services do not meet the requirements as outlined in Section C, then the services will be deemed unacceptable. Therefore, final acceptance and payment for services will only be made for services deemed acceptable by the Bureau. The COR will provide oversight on behalf of the CO. In accordance with FAR Clause 52.246-4, if the Contractor fails to promptly perform the services again or to take necessary action to ensure future performance in conformity with contract requirements, the Government may –

(1) By contract or otherwise, perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the Government that is directly related to the performance of such service; or

(2) Terminate the contract for default.

When services are rejected for noncompliance, written notification of the rejection will be furnished by the Contracting Officer, within ten (10) calendar days after inspection has been completed. The notification shall include an explanation of the deficiencies noted during inspection, the reasons for the rejection, and the Government’s terms as to what remedies will be made by the Contractor. All parts found insufficient or damaged must be replaced at the contractor’s expense.

6. Section F - Delivery or Performance

The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year consisting of 12 months; and two (2) 12-month option periods.

H.6 NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND DATA

During the period of performance of the contract, the Contractor may be granted access to non-public information and data, which is the sole property of BEP, as well as proprietary information and data, which is the sole property of entities other than the contracting parties.

If due to the fault, negligent acts (whether of commission or omission) and/or dishonesty of the Contractor or its employees, any Government-owned or controlled property is lost or damaged as a result of the Contractor's performance of this contract, the Contractor shall be responsible to the Government for such loss or damage, and the Government, at its option, may in lieu of payment thereof, require the Contractor to replace at his own expense, all property lost or damaged.

(c) Government's Right of Recovery: Nothing in the above paragraphs shall be considered to preclude the Government from receiving the benefits of any insurance the Contractor may carry which provides for the indemnification of any loss or destruction of, or damages to property in the custody and care of the Contractor where such loss, destruction or damage is to Government property. The Contractor shall do nothing to prejudice the Government's right to recover against third parties for any loss, destruction of, or damage to Government property, and upon the request of the Contracting Officer shall, at the Government's expense, furnish to the Government all reasonable assistance and cooperation (including assistance in the prosecution of suit and the execution of instruments of assignment in favor of the Government) in obtaining recovery.

(a) The Contractor warrants that, to the best of the Contractor’s knowledge and belief, there are no relevant facts or circumstances which could give rise to an organizational conflict of interest (OCI), as defined in FAR 9.5, Organizational and Consultants Conflicts of Interest, or that the Contractor has disclosed all such relevant information.

(b) The Contractor agrees that if an actual or potential OCI is discovered after award, the Contractor shall make a full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure must include a description of actions, which the Contractor has taken or proposes to take, after consultation with the Contracting Officer, to avoid, mitigate, or neutralize the actual or potential conflict.

(c) The Contracting Officer may terminate this contract for convenience, in whole or in part, if it deems such termination necessary to avoid an OCI. If the Contractor was aware of a potential OCI prior to award or discovered an actual or potential conflict after award and did not disclose or misrepresented relevant information to the Contacting Office, the Government may terminate the contract for default, debar the Contractor from Government contracting, or pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract.

(d) The Contractor must include this clause in all subcontracts and in lower tier subcontracts unless a waiver is requested from, and granted by, the Contracting Officer.

(e) In the event that a requirement changes in such a way as to create a potential conflict of interest for the Contractor, the Contractor must:

1) Notify the Contracting Officer of a potential conflict, and;

2) Recommend to the Government an alternate approach which would avoid the potential conflict, or

3) Present for approval a conflict-of-interest mitigation plan that shall:

• Describe in detail the changed requirement that creates the potential conflict of interest; and

• Outline in detail the actions to be taken by the Contractor or the Government in the performance of the task to mitigate the conflict, division of subcontractor effort, and limited access to information, or other acceptable means.

4) The Contractor must not commence work on a changed requirement related to a potential conflict of interest until specifically notified by the Contracting Officer to proceed.

5) If the Contracting Officer determines that it is in the best interest of the Government to proceed with work, notwithstanding a conflict of interest, a request for waiver must be submitted in accordance with FAR 9.503.

H.9 DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

It is the BEP policy to award contracts to only those Quoters whose objectivity is not impaired because of any related past, present, or planned interest, financial or otherwise, in organizations regulated by BEP or in organizations whose interests may be substantially affected by Departmental activities. Based on this policy, if at any time during the performance of this contract the Contractor knows of any Conflict-of-Interest situation affecting the organization, any of its officers or Key Persons working under this contract, has reason to believe that a conflict of interest situation might arise, or is made aware of an actual or potential conflict of interest situation:

(a) The Contractor shall immediately provide to the Contracting Officer a written statement which describes in a concise manner all past, present or planned organizational, financial, contractual or other interest(s) with that organization regulated by BEP, or with that organization or individual whose interests may be substantially affected by Departmental activities, and which is related to the work under this contract. The interest(s) described shall include those of the Contractor, its affiliates, consultants, Subcontractors and key personnel of any of the above. Past interest shall be limited to within one year of the date of the quoter's technical offer. Key personnel shall include any person owning more than 20% interest in the organization, and the organization's corporate officers, its senior managers and any employee who is responsible for making a decision or taking an action on this contract where the decision or action can have an economic or other impact on the interests of a regulated or affected organization.

(b) The Contractor shall describe in detail when it became aware of the actual or potential conflict of interest, what action the organization has taken or proposes to take to mitigate and / or rectify the situation, and why it believes, in light of the interest(s) identified in (a) above, that performance of the contract can still be accomplished in an impartial and objective manner.

(c) In the absence of any relevant interest identified in (a) above, the Contractor shall certify in its statement that to its best knowledge and belief no affiliation exists relevant to possible conflicts of interest. The Contractor must obtain the same information from any potential Subcontractors prior to award of a subcontract.

(d) The Contracting Officer shall review the statement submitted and may require additional relevant information from the Contractor. All such information, and any other relevant information known to BEP, shall be used to determine whether a conflict of interest exists, or a situation exists that may create a conflict of interest. If any such conflict of interest is found to exist, the Contracting Officer may (1) terminate the contract, or (2) determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of the United States to continue the contract with the Contractor and (3) modify the contract to include appropriate provisions to mitigate or avoid such conflicts in the contract.

(e) If the Contractor refuses to provide the written statement called for in paragraph (a), or any additional information that the Contracting Officer may require, the Contracting Officer may terminate the Contract for convenience if he or she deems that termination is in the best interest of the Government.

H.10 POST AWARD MEETING

At its discretion, BEP may schedule and conduct a post award meeting with the Contractor after contract award. The objectives of this meeting would be to: introduce key participants and explain their roles, review deliverables, review the contract and tasks to ensure a common understanding of the requirements and objectives, as well as other matters of importance and relevance. The Contracting Officer will provide advance notice, agenda, and meeting days and time, which will be between 8AM-4PM Central. If BEP determines that a post award meeting is necessary, the day(s) and time(s) of any such meeting will be determined after contract award.

H.11 EVALUATION OF CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE

(a) Interim and final evaluations of Contractor performance shall be prepared for this contract in accordance with FAR

42.1503. The final performance evaluations shall be prepared at the time of completion of work.

(b) The Contractor can elect to review the evaluation and submit additional information or a rebuttal statement. The

Contractor shall be permitted 60 calendar days to respond. Contractor response is voluntary. If the Contractor does not respond within 60 days, the Government shall presume that the Contractor has no comment. Any disagreement between the parties regarding an evaluation shall be referred to an individual at a level above the Contracting Officer, whose decision is final.

(c) Copies of the evaluations, Contractor responses, and review comments, if any, shall be retained as part of the contract file, and may be used to support future award decisions.

Bureau of Engraving and Printing utilizes the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and the Federal Awarded Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) to record and maintain past performance information. The past performance systems host a suite of web-enabled applications that are used to document Contractor performance information that is required by Federal Regulations.

The CPARS module assesses performance on contracts for Systems, Services, Information Technology, and Operations Support, Architect-Engineer contracts, and performance on Construction contracts. CPARS reference material can be accessed at https://cpars.cpars.gov/cpars/app/home.do

The registration process requires the Contractor to identify an individual that shall serve as a primary contact. This individual shall be authorized access to the evaluation for review and comment. In addition, the Contractor is encouraged to identify a secondary contact in the event the primary contact is unavailable to process the evaluation within the required 60-day time period. After the BEP Contract Specialist registers the contract in one of the systems listed above, the Contractor shall receive a system generated e-mail notifying him/her that the contract is registered.
