InformaƟon for Ordering AcƟviƟes Applicable to All Special Item Numbers

Special NoƟce to Agencies: Small Business ParƟcipaƟon

SBA strongly supports the parƟcipaƟon of small business concerns in the Federal AcquisiƟon Service. To enhance Small

Business ParƟcipaƟon SBA policy allows agencies to include in their procurement base and goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be placed against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to report accomplishments against these goals.

For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available informaƟon by using the GSA Advantage! on-line shopping service (www.gsaadvantage.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage! and the Federal AcquisiƟon

Service Home Page (www.gsa.gov/fas) contain informaƟon on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns.

This informaƟon should be used as a tool to assist ordering acƟviƟes in meeƟng or exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when selecƟng pricelists for a best value determinaƟon.

For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will saƟsfy their requirement.

1. Geographic Scope of Contract

Domes c delivery is delivery within the 48 conƟguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Washington, DC, and U.S.

Territories. DomesƟc delivery also includes a port or consolidaƟon point, within the aforemenƟoned areas, for orders received from overseas acƟviƟes.

Overseas delivery is delivery to points outside of the 48 conƟguous states, Washington, DC, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Territories.

Offerors are requested to check one of the following boxes:

☐ The Geographic Scope of Contract will be domesƟc and overseas delivery.

☐ The Geographic Scope of Contract will be overseas delivery only.

☒ The Geographic Scope of Contract will be domesƟc delivery only.

2. Contractor's Ordering Address and Payment Information

Contractor must accept the credit card for payments equal to or less than the micro-purchase for oral or wriƩen orders under this contract. The Contractor and the ordering agency may agree to use the credit card for dollar amounts over the micro-purchase threshold (See GSAR 552.232-79 Payment by Credit Card).

For administraƟve convenience, an ordering acƟvity contracƟng officer may add items not on the Federal Supply

19));

(2) The ordering acƟvity contracƟng officer has determined the price for the items not on the Federal

Supply Schedule is fair and reasonable;

a. For the purpose of this contract, commitments, warranƟes and representaƟons include, in addiƟon to those agreed to for the enƟre schedule contract:

(1) Time of delivery/installaƟon quotaƟons for individual orders;

(2) Technical representaƟons and/or warranƟes of products concerning performance, total system performance and/or configuraƟon, physical, design and/or funcƟonal characterisƟcs and capabiliƟes of a product/equipment/ service/soŌware package submiƩed in response to requirements which result in orders under this schedule contract.

19. Overseas Activities

The terms and condiƟons of this contract shall apply to all orders for installaƟon, maintenance and repair of equipment in areas listed in the pricelist outside the 48 conƟguous states and the District of Columbia, except as indicated below:

N/A

Upon request of the Contractor, the ordering acƟvity may provide the Contractor with logisƟcs support, as available, in accordance with all applicable ordering acƟvity regulaƟons. Such ordering acƟvity support will be provided on a reimbursable basis, and will only be provided to the Contractor's technical personnel whose services are exclusively required for the fulfillment of the terms and condiƟons of this contract.

20. Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs)

The use of BPAs under any schedule contract to fill repeƟƟve needs for supplies or services is allowable. BPAs may be established with one or more schedule contractors. The number of BPAs to be established is within the discreƟon of the ordering acƟvity establishing the BPA and should be based on a strategy that is expected to maximize the effecƟveness of the BPA(s). Ordering acƟviƟes shall follow FAR 8.405-3 when creaƟng and implemenƟng BPA(s).

21. Contractor Team Arrangements

Contractors parƟcipaƟng in contractor team arrangements must abide by all terms and condiƟons of their respecƟve contracts. This includes compliance with Clauses 552.238-74, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales ReporƟng, i.e., each contractor (team member) must report sales and remit the IFF for all products and services provided under its individual contract.

22. Installation, De-installation, Reinstallation

The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of $2,000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party for construcƟon, alteraƟon, or repair (including painƟng and decoraƟng) of public buildings or public works with the United States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed directly upon the site of the work shall receive less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act do not apply if the construcƟon work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple installaƟon or alteraƟon of a public building or public work that is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply contract. However, if the construcƟon, alteraƟon, or repair is segregable and exceeds $2,000, then the requirement of the Davis-Bacon Act applies.

The ordering acƟvity issuing the task order against this contract will be responsible for proper administraƟon and enforcement of the Federal labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act. The proper Davis-Bacon wage determinaƟon will be issued by the ordering acƟvity at the Ɵme a request for quotaƟons is made for applicable construcƟon classified installaƟon, de-installaƟon, and reinstallaƟon services under SIN 132-8 or 132-9.

23. Section 508 Compliance

I cerƟfy that in accordance with 508 of the RehabilitaƟon Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794d), FAR 39.2, and the

Architectural and TransportaƟon Barriers Compliance Board Electronic and InformaƟon Technology (EIT) Accessibility

Standards (36 CFR 1194) General Services AdministraƟon (GSA), that all IT hardware/soŌware/services are 508 compliant:

No ________

The offeror is required to submit with its offer a designated area on its website that outlines the Voluntary Product

The Contractor shall maintain a copy of all subcontractors' proofs of required insurance, and shall make copies available to the ContracƟng Officer upon request.

26. Software Interoperability

Offerors are encouraged to idenƟfy within their soŌware items any component interfaces that support open standard interoperability. An item’s interface may be idenƟfied as interoperable on the basis of parƟcipaƟon in a Government agency-sponsored program or in an independent organizaƟon program. Interfaces may be idenƟfied by reference to an interface registered in the component registry located at hƩp://www.core.gov.

27. Advance Payments

Contractor, any enƟty into or with which the Contractor subsequently merges or affiliates, or any other successor or assignee of the Contractor.

An “OrganizaƟonal conflict of interest” exists when the nature of the work to be performed under a proposed ordering acƟvity contract, without some restricƟon on ordering acƟviƟes by the Contractor and its affiliates, may either (i) result in an unfair compeƟƟve advantage to the Contractor or its affiliates or (ii) impair the Contractor’s or its affiliates’ objecƟvity in performing contract work.

Such restricƟons shall be consistent with FAR 9.505 and shall be designed to avoid, neutralize, or miƟgate organizaƟonal conflicts of interest that might otherwise exist in situaƟons related to individual orders placed against the schedule contract. Examples of situaƟons, which may require restricƟons, are provided at FAR 9.508.
