COMMERCIAL ITEMS

Clauses that are incorporated by reference (by Citation Number, Title, and Date), have the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available.

The following clauses are incorporated into FAR 52.212-4 as an addendum to this contract:

C.1 SAC 16-01 SAC SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT FEE AND SUBMISSION OF

QUARTERLY SALES REPORTS: OPEN MARKET. (JAN 2016)

a. Service Level Agreement Fee.

The Service Level Agreement (SLA) fee is established by the Supply Fund Board and is provided as a means of reimbursement for customary acquisition-related services necessary to obtain contractor services and/or supplies as required. The SLA is reimbursed to the SAC based on rates established by the supply fund board and are recouped based on a percentage of total quarterly sales. The Supply Fund Board may change the percentage at any time, but typically not more than once per year. Upon a change in the SLA, the Contracting Officer (CO) shall issue a unilateral modification to apply the change to CLIN prices based upon the SLA rate change. The SAC will provide reasonable notice prior to the effective date of the change.

In order to facilitate SLA reimbursement, Offerors must include (imbed) the SLA fee into their prices; therefore, the fee will be reflected in the total amount charged and transparent to ordering activities.

The current SLA which applies to this contract action is 3.0%. This SLA Fee shall be imbedded in the awarded contract/agreement price(s), and proposals submitted in response to this solicitation shall include this SLA Fee in the price of every line item offered.

b. Quarterly Sales Reports.

The Contractor shall report all contract sales under this contract and submit collected SLAs as follows:

(1) The Contractor shall accurately report the dollar value, in U.S. dollars and rounded to the nearest whole dollar, of all sales made under this contract by calendar quarter (January 1–March 31, April 1–June 30, July 1–September 30, and October 1– December 31). Reported sales must include all sales made to all authorized contract or agreement users, whether shipped directly to the users or through Prime Vendor contractors. The report shall reflect sales by contract line item and shall segment sales by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Other Government Agencies (OGA). The reported contract sales shall include the SLA Fee and each quarterly report shall show the total SLA Fee amount collected on the reported sales. The Contractor shall maintain a consistent accounting method of sales reporting, based on the Contractor’s established commercial accounting practice. The Contractor shall consistently use only one of the following acceptable points at which sales may be reported-

i. Receipt of order;

ii. Shipment or delivery, as applicable;

iii. Issuance of an invoice; or

iv. Payment.

(2) Sales under this contract/agreement shall be reported to the SAC within 60 calendar days following the completion of each reporting quarter. The Contractor shall continue to furnish quarterly reports, including “zero” sales, through physical completion of the last outstanding order of the contract/agreement.

(3) The sales report signed by an authorized representative of the contractor shall be emailed to the appropriate individual(s) listed in the terms and conditions of the contract or agreement.

c. SLA Remittance

The Contractor shall remit the SLA fee to the SAC in U.S. dollars within 60 calendar days after the end of the reporting quarter and final payment shall be remitted within 60 days after physical completion of the last outstanding task order or delivery order of the contract.

The SLA Fee amount collected and due shall be paid electronically. To ensure that the payment is credited properly, the contractor shall electronically transmit the SLA fee at www.pay.gov (VA Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC)); specific instructions shall be provided when the contract action resulting from this solicitation is awarded (i.e. post-award/BPA issuance conference and/or post-award letter when used in lieu of a conference.

The Government reserves the right to inspect, without further notice, such records of the Contractor as pertinent to sales under any contract or agreements resulting from this solicitation. Failure to remit the full amount of the SLA within 60 calendar days after the end of the applicable reporting period constitutes a contract debt to the United States Government under the terms of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 32.6. The Government may exercise all rights under the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, including withholding or setting off payments and interest on the debt (see FAR clause 52.232-17, Interest). Should the Contractor fail to submit the required sales reports, falsify them, or fail to timely pay the SLA, the Government shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies described in this clause, all other rights and remedies permitted by Federal law and statutes.
