1052.232-39 UNENFORCEABILITY OF UNAUTHORIZED OBLIGATIONS (January 2016)

(a) Definition. As used in this clause-

"Commercial supplier agreements" means terms and conditions customarily offered to the public by vendors of supplies or services that meet the definition of commercial item set forth in FAR 2.101 and intended to create a binding legal obligation on the end user. Commercial supplier agreements (CSA) are particularly common in information technology acquisitions, including acquisitions of commercial https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/doing-business-with-fiscal-service/ computer software and commercial technical data, but they may apply to any supply or service. The term applies-

(1) Regardless of the format or style of the document. For example, a CSA may be styled as standard terms of sale or lease, Terms of Service (TOS), End User License Agreement (EULA), or another similar legal instrument or agreement, and may be presented as part of an offer or quotation responding to a solicitation.

(2) Regardless of the media or delivery mechanism used. For example, a CSA may be presented as one or more paper documents or may appear on a computer or other electronic device screen during a purchase, software installation, other product delivery, registration for a service, or another transaction.

(b) Except as stated in paragraph (c) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any CSA, that includes any language, provision, or clause requiring the Government to pay any future fees, penalties, interest, legal costs or to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(1) Any such language, provision, or clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(2) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the CSA. If the CSA is invoked through an "I agree" click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., "click-wrap" or "browse-wrap" agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(3) Any such language, provision, or clause is deemed to be stricken from the CSA.

(c) Paragraph (b) of this clause does not apply to indemnification or any other payment by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

1052.232-7003 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF PAYMENT REQUESTS (APR 2015)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

(1) “Payment request” means a bill, voucher, invoice, or request for contract financing payment with associated supporting documentation. The payment request must comply with the requirements identified in FAR 32.905(b), "Content of Invoices" and the applicable Payment clause included in this contract.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this clause, the Contractor shall submit payment requests electronically using the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). Information regarding IPP, including IPP Customer Support is available at www.ipp.gov or any successor site.

(c) The Contractor may submit payment requests using other than IPP only when the Contracting Officer authorizes alternate procedures in writing in accordance with Treasury procedures.

The debit from the Contractor's account will usually occur within 24 hours and will be shown on the regular account statement.

The Contractor will not receive the original check back. The Government shall destroy the Contractor's original check, but will keep a copy of it. If the EFT cannot be processed for technical reasons, the Contractor authorizes the Government to process the copy in place of the original check.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Alcohol Beverage Sampling Program (ABSP) Product List

Trade Investigations Division (TID) – Market Compliance Office (MCO) Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)

1. Scope

The purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to seek a contractor to provide an electronic list of all alcohol beverage products sold for off premise consumption in the United States within a designated one-year period for all three alcohol beverage commodities including wine, beer, and distilled spirits products.

2. Background and Purpose

The TTB’s mission to protect the public includes ensuring that labels on alcohol beverage products contain adequate descriptive information and are not likely to mislead consumers. Established in 2008, the Alcohol Beverage Sampling Program (ABSP) is a random survey of alcohol beverage products in the marketplace that TTB uses to evaluate its success in meeting this mission and to determine where compliance issues exist.

Each year TTB conducts the ABSP by purchasing alcohol beverage products (wine, distilled spirits, and beer) from the marketplace and bringing them to its offices for label assessments to determine if products are in compliance with labeling regulations. Following the label assessments, TTB sends the products to its laboratories to undergo a series of analyses to determine compliance with certain information displayed on the product labels.

TTB statisticians randomly choose products included in the ABSP using a statistical sampling of a list of alcohol beverage products sold in the United States. To enable the ABSP results to accurately reflect the compliance trends of alcohol beverage products sold in the U.S., TTB seeks to identify contractors that can provide a complete list of all alcohol beverage products sold for off-premise consumption in the U.S. within a designated one year time period. For the purpose of this document, TTB uses the term “off-premise” to mean the retail sale of sealed containers of alcoholic beverages for consumption elsewhere than the premises where the beverages are purchased. This includes, but is not limited to:

grocery stores, convenience stores, liquor stores, big-box retailers, mass-market stores, wineries, club stores, and on-line retailers.

3. Service to Be Performed

The contractor shall produce a comprehensive list of alcohol beverage products sold for off-premise consumption in the US during a specified time period of 12 months, ending as close to the award date as possible in order to receive the most current results. The list must: Include wine, beer, and distilled spirits; include both imported and domestic products; include data only from alcohol beverages sold in the U.S. during the 12 months immediately preceding the reporting date; and be delivered to TTB in the form of an Excel spreadsheet or .csv file no later than July 31st of the year that the service is to be provided.

The contractor shall produce a listing of the products including at minimum enough discrete product information that allows TTB to identify and purchase individual products. TTB requires that the list include:

(1) The brand name of each product;

(2) The name of the producer or importer (in our experience this may be known as “Brand High” or “Brand Family”;

(3) Proof or alcohol by volume;

(4) A description of the product, including the class or type if available (for example, merlot, red table wine, vodka, ale);

(5) Whether the product is domestic or imported;

(6) The Universal Product Code for each product

(7) Volume sales of each product in dollars.

(8) The type(s) of store in which the product may be purchased (for example, liquor store, big-box, grocery).

Please note: this listing shall not contain any duplicate records.

In addition, the contractor shall provide the estimated market coverage of the data, by volume, and if available, by brand. For example “This list contains data on approximately 95% of all beer sold in the United States” or “This list contains data on approximately 75% of all beer brands sold in the United States.”

4. Specific Requirements

The product listing must be available to TTB in the format of an Excel spreadsheet or .csv file. The Excel spreadsheet shall include at minimum:

(1) The brand name of each product;

(2) The name of the producer or importer;

(3) Proof or alcohol by volume;

(4) A description of the product, including the class or type if available (for example, merlot, red table wine, vodka, ale);

(5) Whether the product is domestic or imported;

(6) Volume sales of each product in dollars;

(7) The type(s) of store in which the product may be purchased (for example, liquor store, big-box, grocery).

(8) The Universal Product Code for each product

Please note: this listing shall not contain any duplicate records. The listing can be sent via encrypted email or via secure file transfer.
