8. Section H - Special Contract Requirements

Special Contract Requirements NOTE: All Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) references in this document refer to the updated text under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) framework managed by the Acquisition.gov FAR Overhaul initiative.

H.1 TYPE OF CONTRACT

The Government intends to establish a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) under FAR 12.201-1(e)(3), with firm-fixed prices for armored car services. Individual BPA calls will be issued on a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) basis as services are needed.

H.2 INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

No interpretation of any provision of this contract, including applicable specification or attachments, shall be binding on the Government unless furnished or agreed to in writing by the CO.

H.3 NON-DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION & DATA

During the period of performance of the contract, the Contractor might gain access to confidential and 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. The Contractor agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all such information and data and shall not disclose any information and data, interpretations of, and/or derivatives of, such information and data to any unauthorized party without the express written approval of the CO, or of the party in which title is wholly vested. The Contractor hereby agrees to include this clause in all subcontracts or consulting agreements relating to work under this contract. The Contractor shall be required to sign a nondisclosure agreement from BEP which will apply to all personnel working under this contract.

H.4 CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION

The Contractor agrees that all information provided by representatives of BEP, either before or after award, concerning the production and processes of this award is nonpublic. Such information will be shared only with employees or agents of the company having a need to know, and will not be disclosed to other persons without the written consent of the CO.

H.5 NOTICE TO THE GOVERNMENT OF DELAYS

If the Contractor encounters difficulty in meeting the performance requirements, or when the Contractor anticipates difficulty in complying with the Contract delivery schedule or date, or whenever the Contractor has knowledge that any actual or potential situation is delaying or threatens to delay the timely performance of this contract, the Contractor shall immediately notify the CO and COR, in writing, giving pertinent details; provided, however, that this data shall be informational only in character and that this provision shall not be construed as a waiver by the Government or any delivery schedule or date or any rights or remedies provided by law or under this contract.

H.6 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

BEP's facilities are considered to be secure government facilities; therefore visitors to BEP may be given a visitor's security badge by security personnel and escorted by Government authorized personnel. Visitor security badges shall be worn above the waist, clearly visible, with picture or front side front forward at all times. Visitor security badges are to be returned upon leaving the site.

H.7 SECURITY CLEARANCE OF CONTRACTOR'S EMPLOYEES

Contractor Access and Background Clearance. The bureau has been delegated authority from Office of Personnel

Management (OPM) to conduct background investigations and to make suitability determinations for employment and facility access per 5 CFR 731. As identified by the Bureau, Contractor and subcontractor employees shall be subjects of background investigations, conducted by the BEP Office of Personnel Security, before assignment to performance of the work or before facility access is granted.

The COR shall provide the Contractor with the document Contractor Request for Investigation on eApp (National Background Investigation Services eApplication) within three (3) calendar days after award.

After receipt of the above form, the Contractor shall ensure that all contractor employees and subcontractor employees complete the eApp application within the time allotted. Contractor and subcontractor personnel requiring regular facility access to the BEP shall be identified by the Contractor and submitted to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for processing in accordance with BEP security requirements. Such personnel shall be granted authorized facility access only upon favorable completion of the applicable BEP security screening and approval process. Upon notice by the COR that the Internet database known as

"eApp" has been initiated for their employees, the contractor's employees will have fourteen (14) calendar days to access the "eApp" database, or the access will be cancelled. If the online questionnaire is not completed within the fourteen (14) calendar days, the system will automatically delete the employee's name from the database. The

Contractor is responsible for ensuring that their employees successfully complete the eApp on-line questionnaire in a timely manner. Once the eApp Application has been successfully completed the COR will notify the contractor that the employee has been accepted and he can come in and be fingerprinted. At that time the additional forms listed will be issued to the contractor that will need by the employee to be completed and submitted at the time the employee arrives to be fingerprinted, which is the final process needed to start the Security Clearance process.

1. Form 306, Declaration for Federal Employment.

2. Criminal Records Release

3. Disclosure and Authorization

4. HSPD-12, Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12. Once all documents have been completed, the

Contractor shall coordinate with the COR to schedule a time for all contractor and subcontractor employees to be fingerprinted at the BEP.

The Bureau reserves the right to deny access to its facilities if the contractor or subcontractor employee is deemed unsuitable, based upon adjudicative guidelines established in 5 CFR 731& 732, Executive Orders 10450 and 12968, and BEP policies and directives. Failure to submit the required security information or to truthfully answer all questions contained in security questionnaires and forms may constitute grounds for denial of agency access clearance.

Please note that if an individual or individuals, who have been approved by eApp, do not come in within fourteen (14) calendar days to be fingerprinted, that individual or individuals paper work is purged from the system, and the individual will have to apply for and complete a new eApp application before any additional action can be taken in the security application process.

Effective immediately, the Bureau will only provide escorts for only those individuals, who have completed the eApp requirement and have been fingerprinted. These individuals will be allowed on site while their paper work is being reviewed by OPM and the BEP Office of Personnel Security Division.

H.8 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

(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 will:

(i) Describe in detail the changed requirement that creates the potential conflict of interest; and

(ii) 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 offerors 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 offeror's technical proposal. 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 will review the statement submitted and may require additional relevant information from the Contractor. All such information, and any other relevant information known to BEP, will 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 EVALUATION OF CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE

(a) Interim and final evaluations of Contractor performance will be prepared on this contract in accordance with

FAR 42.1503. The final performance evaluations will 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 will be permitted 60 calendar days to respond. Contractor response is voluntary. If the Contractor does not respond within 60 days, the Government will presume that the Contractor has no comment. Any disagreement between the parties regarding an evaluation will 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, will 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), Federal Awarded Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Architect-Engineer Contract

Administration Support System (ACASS) or Construction Contractor appraisal Support System (CCASS) to record and maintain past performance information. The past performance systems hosts 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 http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/cparsfiles/cpars/refmatl.htm.

Construction Contractor appraisal Support System (CCASS) http://www.409csb.army.mil/Library/COI/ACASSCCASSUserManual-Nov2012.pdf

The registration process requires the Contractor to identify an individual that will serve as a primary contact. This individual will 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 will receive a system generated e-mail notifying him/her that the contract is registered.

A system generated e-mail will also provide the Contractor with a User ID if the person does not already have a system User ID.

Once a performance evaluation has been prepared and is ready for comment, the Contractor representative will receive a system generated e-mail notification that the performance evaluation is electronically available for review and comment. The Contractor representative will receive an automated e-mail whenever an assessment is completed and can subsequently retrieve the completed assessment from system.

Contractors may access evaluations at one of the website listed above for review and comment in CPARS.
