INFORMATION FOR ORDERING ACTIVITIES

SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES: Small Business Participation

SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Supply Schedules Program. To enhance Small Business

Participation, 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 micropurchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage! online shopping service (www.fss.gsa.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage! and the Federal Supply Service Home Page (www.fss.gsa.gov) contain information on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns.

This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting 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 selecting pricelists for a best value determination.

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

31. PURCHASE OF OPEN-MARKET ITEMS

Note: Open-Market Items are also known as incidental items, noncontract items, nonscheduled items, and items not on a Federal Supply Schedule contract. Other direct costs (ODCs) are not part of this contract and should be treated as open-market purchases. Ordering Activities procuring open market items must follow FAR 8.402(f).

For administrative convenience, an ordering activity contracting officer may add items not on the Federal Supply multiple award schedule (MAS) – referred to as open market items – to a Federal Supply Schedule blanket purchase agreement (BPA) or an individual task or delivery order, only if:

a. All applicable acquisition regulations pertaining to the purchase of the items not on the Federal

Supply MAS have been followed (e.g., publicizing (Part 5), competition requirements (Part 6), acquisition of commercial items (Part 12), contracting methods (Parts 13, 14, and 15), and small business programs (Part 19).

b. The ordering activity contracting officer has determined the price for the items not on the Federal

Supply Schedule is fair and reasonable.

c. The items are clearly labeled on the order as items not on the Federal Supply Schedule.

d. All clauses applicable to items not on the Federal Supply Schedule are included in the order.

32. OVERSEAS ACTIVITIES

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

Not applicable

Upon request of the Contractor, the ordering activity may provide the Contractor with logistics support, as available, in accordance with all applicable ordering activity regulations. Such ordering activity 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 conditions of this contract.

47QTCA24D007K 17

33. BPAS

The use of BPAs under any schedule contract to fill repetitive 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 discretion of the ordering activity establishing the BPA and should be based on a strategy that is expected to maximize the effectiveness of the BPA(s). Ordering activities shall follow FAR 8.405-3 when creating and implementing BPA(s).

34. CONTRACTOR TEAM ARRANGEMENTS

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

35. INSTALLATION, DEINSTALLATION, AND REINSTALLATION

The Davis-Bacon Act (40 USC. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of $2,000 to which the US or the

District of Columbia is a party for construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the US, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed directly on 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 construction work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple installation or alteration of a public building or public work that is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply contract. However, if the construction, alteration, or repair is segregable and exceeds $2,000, then the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act apply.

The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will be responsible for proper administration and enforcement of the Federal labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act. The proper Davis-Bacon wage determination will be issued by the ordering activity at the time a request for quotations is made for applicable construction classified installation, deinstallation, and reinstallation services under SIN 33411.

36. PRIME CONTRACTOR ORDERING FROM FEDERAL SUPPLY SCHEDULES

Prime Contractors (on cost-reimbursement contracts) placing orders under Federal Supply Schedules, on behalf of an ordering activity, shall follow the terms of the applicable schedule and authorization and include with each order:

a. A copy of the authorization from the ordering activity with whom the contractor has the prime contract (unless a copy was previously furnished to the Federal Supply Schedule contractor)

b. The following statement:

i. This order is placed under written authorization from _______ dated _______. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this order and those of your Federal Supply

Schedule contract, the latter will govern.

37. INSURANCE—WORK ON A GOVERNMENT INSTALLATION (JAN 1997) (FAR 52.228-5)

a. The Contractor shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain during the entire performance of this contract at least the kinds and minimum amounts of insurance required in the Schedule or elsewhere in the contract.

b. Before commencing work under this contract, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing that the required insurance has been obtained. The policies evidencing required insurance shall contain an endorsement to the effect that any cancellation or any material change adversely affecting the Government’s interest shall not be effective.

i. For such period as the laws of the State in which this contract is to be performed prescribe; or

ii. Until 30 days after the insurer or the Contractor gives written notice to the Contracting Officer, whichever period is longer.

c. The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract that require work on a Government installation and shall require subcontractors to provide and maintain the insurance required in the Schedule or elsewhere in the contract. The Contractor shall maintain a copy of all subcontractors’ proofs of required insurance and make copies available to the Contracting Officer upon request.

38. SOFTWARE INTEROPERABILITY

a. Offerors are encouraged to identify within their software items any component interfaces that support open standard interoperability.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO

LEASING OF GENERAL PURPOSE COMMERCIAL INFORMATION

TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS (SIN 532420L)

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Note: Under SIN 532420L Leasing of Products, there are two sets of terms and conditions. Option 1 does not contain a cancellation clause, and all leases automatically expire on September 30 or sooner. Option 2 contains a cancellation clause, in which the fee must be in accordance with applicable legal principles. You may offer either option or both options.

LEASE TYPES

The Government will consider proposals for the following lease types:

a. Lease to Ownership

b. Lease with Option to Own

Orders for leased products must specify the leasing type.

OPTION 1

1. STATEMENT

a. It is understood by all parties to this contract that orders issued under this SIN shall constitute a lease arrangement. Unless the Ordering Agency intends to obligate other than annual appropriations to fund the lease, the base period of the lease is from the date of the product acceptance through September 30 of the fiscal year in which the order is placed.

b. Agencies are advised to follow the guidance provided in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)

Subpart 7.4 Product Lease or Purchase and OMB Circular A-11. Agencies are responsible for the obligation of funding consistent with all applicable legal principles when entering into any lease arrangement.

2. FUNDING AND PERIODS OF LEASING ARRANGEMENTS

a. Annual Funding: When annually appropriated funds are cited on an order for leasing, the following applies:

i. The base period of an order for any lease executed by the Government shall be for the duration of the fiscal year. All Government renewal options under the lease shall be specified in the delivery order. All orders for leasing shall remain in effect through September 30 of the fiscal year or the planned expiration date of the lease, whichever is earlier, unless the Government exercises its rights hereunder to acquire title to the product prior to the planned expiration date or unless the

Government exercises its right to terminate under FAR 52.212-4. Orders under the lease shall not be deemed to obligate the succeeding fiscal year’s funds or to otherwise commit the Government to a renewal.

ii. All orders for leasing shall automatically terminate on September 30, unless the Ordering Agency notifies the Contractor in writing thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of such orders of the Government’s intent to renew. Such notice to renew shall not bind the Government. The

Government has the option to renew each year at the original rate in effect at the time the order is placed. This rate applies for the duration of the order. If the Government exercises its option to renew, the renewal order shall be issued within 15 days after funds become available for obligation by the Ordering Agency, or as specified in the initial order. No termination fees shall apply if the

Government does not exercise an option.

b. Crossing Fiscal Years Within Contract Period: Where an Ordering Agency has specific authority to cross fiscal years with annual appropriations, the Ordering Agency may place an order under this

47QTCA24D007K 20

option to lease the product for a period up to the expiration of its period of appropriation availability, or twelve months, whichever occurs later, notwithstanding the intervening fiscal years.

3. DISCONTINUANCE AND TERMINATION

Notwithstanding any other provision relating to this SIN, the Ordering Agency may terminate products leased under this agreement at any time during a fiscal year in accordance with the termination provisions contained in FAR 52.212-

4 (1), Termination for the Government’s convenience, or (m), Termination for cause. Additionally, no termination for cost or fees shall be charged for nonrenewal of an option.

OPTION 2

To the extent an Offeror wishes to propose alternative lease terms and conditions that provide for lower discounts/prices based on the ordering office’s stated intent to fulfill the projected term of a lease including option years, while at the same time including separate charges for early end of the lease, the following terms apply. These terms address the timing and extent of the Government’s financial obligation, including any potential charges for early end of the lease.

1. LEASING PRICE LIST NOTICE

Contractors must include the following notice in their contract price list for SIN 532420L:

“The ordering agency is responsible for the obligation of funds consistent with applicable law. Agencies are advised to review the lease terms and conditions contained in this price list prior to ordering and obligating funding for a lease.”

2. STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT INTENT

a. The Government and the Contractor understand that a delivery order issued pursuant to this SIN is a lease arrangement and contemplates the use of the product for the term of the lease specified in such delivery order (the “Lease Term”). In that regard, the Ordering Agency, as lessee, understands that the lease provisions contained herein and the rate established for the delivery order are premised on the Ordering Agency’s intent to fulfill that agreement, including acquiring products for the period of time specified in the order. Each lease hereunder shall be initiated by a delivery order that shall, either through a SOW or other attachment, specify the product being leased and the required terms of the transaction.

b. Each Ordering Agency placing a delivery order under the terms of this option intends to exercise each renewal option and to extend the lease until completion of the Lease Term, so long as the need of the Ordering Agency for the product or functionally similar product continues to exist and funds are appropriated. Contractor may request information from the Ordering Agency concerning the essential use of the products.

3. LEASE TERM

a. The date on which the Ordering Agency accepts the products is the Commencement Date of the lease. For acceptance to occur, the products must operate in accordance with the product’s published specifications and SOW. Acceptance shall be in accordance with the terms of the contract, or as otherwise negotiated by the Ordering Agency and the Contractor.

b. Any lease is executed by the Ordering Agency on the basis that the known requirement for such product exceeds the initial base period of the delivery order, which is typically 12 months, or for the remainder of the fiscal year. Pursuant to FAR 32.703-3 (b), delivery orders with options to renew that are funded by annual (fiscal year) appropriations may provide for initial base periods and option periods that cross fiscal years as long as the initial base period or each option period does not exceed a 12-month period. Defense agencies must also consider Department of Defense (DOD) FAR supplement (DFAR) 232.703-3(b) in determining whether to use cross fiscal year funding. This cross fiscal year authority does not apply to multiyear leases.

c. The total Lease Term will be specified in each delivery order, including any relevant renewal options of the Government. All delivery orders, whether for the initial base period or renewal period, shall remain in effect through September 30 of the fiscal year (unless extended by statute), through any earlier expiration date specified in the delivery order, or until the Government exercises its rights hereunder to acquire title to the product prior to such expiration date. The Ordering Agency, at its

47QTCA24D007K 21

discretion, may exercise each option to extend the term of the lease through the lease term. Renewal delivery orders shall not be issued for less than all of the product and/or software set forth in the original delivery order. Delivery orders under this SIN shall not be deemed to obligate succeeding fiscal year funds. The Ordering Agency shall provide the Contractor with written notice of exercise of each renewal option as soon as practicable. Notice requirements may be negotiated on an order-by-order basis.

d. Where an Ordering Agency’s specific appropriation or procurement authority provides for contracting beyond the fiscal year period, the Ordering Agency may place a delivery order for a period up to the expiration of the Lease Term, or to the expiration of the period of availability of the multiyear appropriation, or whatever is appropriate under the applicable circumstance.

4. LEASE TERMINATION

a. The Ordering Agency must elect the Lease Term of the relevant delivery order. The Contractor (and assignee, if any) will rely on the Government’s representation of its intent to fulfill the full Lease

Term to determine the monthly lease payments calculated herein.

i. The Government may terminate or not renew leases under this option at no cost, pursuant to a

Termination for Nonappropriation as defined herein (see paragraph (c) below). In any other event, the Ordering Agency’s contracting officer may either terminate the relevant delivery order for cause or Termination for Convenience in accordance with FAR 52.212-4 paragraphs (1) and (m).

ii. The Termination for Convenience at the end of a fiscal year allows for separate charges for the early end of the lease (see paragraph (d) below). In the event of termination for the convenience of the

Government, the Government may be liable only up to the amount beyond the order’s Termination

Ceiling. Any termination charges calculated under the Termination for Convenience clause must be determined or identified in the delivery order or in the lease agreement.

b. Termination for Convenience of the Government: Leases entered into under this option may not be terminated except by the Ordering Agency’s contracting office responsible for the delivery order in accordance with FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items, paragraph (1), Termination for Convenience of the Government. The costs charged to the Government as the result of any Termination for Convenience of the Government must be reasonable and may not exceed the sum of the fiscal year’s payment obligations less payments made to date of termination plus the Termination Ceiling.

c. Termination for Nonappropriation: The Ordering Agency reasonably believes that the bona fide need will exist for the entire Lease Term and corresponding funds in an amount sufficient to make all payment for the lease Term will be available to the Ordering Agency. Therefore, it is unlikely that leases entered into under this option will terminate prior to the full Lease Term. Nevertheless, the Ordering Agency’s contracting officer may terminate or not renew leases at the end of any initial base period or option period under this paragraph if (a) it no longer has a bona fide need for the product or functionally similar product or (b) there is a continuing need, but adequate funds have not been made available to the Ordering Agency in an amount sufficient to continue to make the lease payments. If this occurs, the Government will promptly notify the Contractor, and the product lease will be terminated at the end of the last fiscal year for which funds were appropriated.

Substantiation to support a termination for nonappropriation shall be provided to the Contractor upon request.

d. Termination Charges: At the initiation of the lease, termination ceilings will be established for each year of the lease term. The termination ceiling is a limit on the amount that a Contractor may be paid by the Government on the Termination for Convenience of a lease. No claim will be accepted for future costs: supplies, maintenance, usage charges, or interest expense beyond the date of termination. In accordance with the bona fide needs rule, all termination charges must reasonably represent the value the Government received for the work performed based upon the shorter lease term. No Termination for Convenience costs will be associated with the expiration of the lease term.

e. At the order level, the Ordering Agency may, consistent with legal principles, negotiate lower monthly payments or rates based upon appropriate changes to the termination conditions in this section.
