3.1.7-6 Disclosure of Certain Employee Relationships (July 2019)

(a) The policy of the FAA is to avoid doing business with contractors, subcontractors, and consultants who have a conflict of interest or an appearance of a conflict of interest.

(b) The contractor must provide to the Contracting Officer the following information with its proposal and must provide an information update within 30 days of the award of a contract, any subcontract, or any consultant agreement, or within 30 days of the retention of a Subject Individual or former FAA employee subject to this clause:

(3) The date on which the initial expression of interest in a future financial arrangement was discussed with the contractor by any former FAA employee whose name is required to be provided by the contractor pursuant to subparagraph (2); and

(4) The location where any Subject Individual or former FAA employee whose name is required to be provided by the contractor pursuant to subparagraphs (1) and (2), are expected to be assigned.

(c) "Subject Individual" means a current FAA employee's father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, spouse of an in-law, or a member of his/her household.

(d) The contractor must incorporate this clause into all subcontracts or consultant agreements awarded under this contract and must further require that each such subcontractor or consultant incorporate this clause into all subcontracts or consultant agreements at any tier awarded under this contract unless the Contracting Officer determines otherwise.

(e) The information as it is submitted, must be certified as being true and correct. If there is no such information, the certification must so state.

(f) Remedies for nondisclosure: The following are possible remedies available to the FAA should a contractor misrepresent or refuse to disclose or misrepresent any information required by this clause:

(1) Termination of the contract.

(2) Exclusion from subsequent FAA contracts.

(3) Other remedial action as may be permitted or provided by law or regulation or policy or by the terms of the contract.

(g) Annual Certification. The contractor must provide annually, based on the anniversary date of contract award, the following certification in writing to the Contracting Officer:

ANNUAL CERTIFICATION OF DISCLOSURE OF CERTAIN EMPLOYEE

RELATIONSHIPS

The contractor represents and certifies that to the best of its knowledge and belief that during the prior 12 month period:

[ ] A former FAA employee(s) or Subject Individual(s) has been retained to work under the contract or subcontract or consultant agreement and complete disclosure has been made in accordance with subparagraph (b) of AMS Clause 3.1.7-6.

Authorized Representative

Company Name

Date

(h) The contractor agrees to include the substance of this clause in all subcontracts awarded under this contract. The Contracting Officer will consider case-by-case exceptions to this requirement for individual subcontracts in the event that:

(1) the contractor considers this clause to be inappropriate and unnecessary in the case of a particular subcontract;

(2) the contractor provides a written statement affirming absolute unwillingness of a subcontractor to perform, absent some relief from the substance of this prohibition and the reason why;

(3) use of an alternate subcontract source would unreasonably detract from the quality of effort;

and

(4) the contractor provides the Contracting Officer timely written advance notice of these and any other extenuating circumstances.

3.2.1.5-4 Continuity of Services - Mission Critical Contracts (January 2008)

(a) The contractor recognizes that the supplies and/or services under this contract are critical to FAA and must be continued without interruption during times of National Emergency or Incidents of National Significance. Supplies and/or services to be continued without interruption are:

(b) National Emergencies or Incidents of National Significance include:

(1) Outbreak of pandemic influenza or infectious disease;

(2) Terrorist attack; and

(3) Natural disaster.

(c) Because the supplies and/or services under this SIR or contract are deemed critical by FAA, the contractor must make every reasonable effort to deliver these supplies and/or services per the contract requirements during times of National Emergency or Incidents of National Significance;

however, the presence of this clause does not affect or diminish the Contractor's rights under Default or Termination clauses incorporated into this SIR or contract.

(d) Within 90 days after award, the contractor must submit a Continuity of Contract Performance Plan to the Contracting Officer (CO) for review and acceptance. This plan describes the processes and tools that the contractor will commit to ensure supplies and/or services are delivered as required during times of National Emergency or Incidents of National Significance.

This plan must include the following sections:

(1) Plans and Procedures: Detail the plans and procedures in place that will provide for continued contract performance for supplies and/or services during times of National Emergencies or Incidents of National Significance;

(3) Delegations of Authority, Planned Order of Succession, and Cross-Training: Procedures in place to ensure personnel are available to make key decisions and perform critical services when primary personnel are unavailable;

(4) Alternate Operating Facilities: When the primary facility is unavailable, detail plans to make available other facilities unaffected by the National Emergency or Incident of National Significance. If contract performance allows, this may include alternatives such as telecommute;

(5) Interoperable and Effective Communications: Identify alternate communication systems if primary systems are unavailable;

(6) Critical Records or Data: Identify plans in place to ensure critical records and data are still available to ensure the integrity of contract performance;

(7) Protection of Human Capital: Identify comprehensive plans to protect the overall health and welfare of the workforce in times of National Emergency or Incidents of National Significance;

(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the Contractor must honor any order exceeding the maximum order limitations in paragraph (b), unless that order (or orders) is returned to the ordering office within 5 days after issuance, with written notice stating the Contractor's intent not to ship the item (or items) called for and the reasons. Upon receiving this notice, the Government may acquire the supplies or services from another source.

(End of Clause)

3.2.4-20 Indefinite Quantity (October 2019)

(d) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period must be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order. The contract must govern the Contractor's and Government's rights and obligations with respect to that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the contract's effective period; provided, that the Contractor must not be required to make any deliveries under this contract after September 29, 2027.

(End of Clause)

3.2.4-33 Option for Increased Quantity - Separately Priced Line Item (October 2019)

The Government may require the delivery of the numbered line item, identified in the Schedule as an option item, in the quantity and at the price stated in the Schedule.

(End of Clause)

3.3.1-33 SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (JAN 2024)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause

"Registered in the SAM database" means that the Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the Unique Identity Identifier (UEI) or the Electronic Funds Transfer indicator, into the SAM database.

"System for Award Management (SAM) database" means the primary Government repository for Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the Government.

"Unique Entity Identifier (UEI)" (also known as the Unique Entity ID) means a number or other identifier used to identify a specific commercial, nonprofit, or Government entity. See www.sam.gov for the designated entity for establishing unique entity identifiers.

"Electronic Funds Transfer indicator" means a 4-character suffix to the Unique Entity Identifier.

This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts for the same parent concern.

(b)(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee must be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2) The offeror must enter, in Representations, Certifications and Other Statements of Offerors Section of the solicitation, the UEI or EFT indicator that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The UEI will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the SAM database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a UEI, it should contact www.sam.gov directly to obtain one.

The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:

(1) Company legal business name.

(2) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.

(3) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code.

(4) Company Mailing Address, City, State and ZIP Code (if different from physical street address).

(5) Company Telephone Number.

(6) Date the company was started.

(7) Number of employees at your location.

(8) Chief executive officer/key manager.

(9) Line of business (industry).

(10) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).

(d) If the offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer may proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered offeror.

(e) Processing time should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.

(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document. If registered in SAM as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges that they are certified as an SDVOSB under the Small Business Administration’s Veteran Small Business Certification Program (VetCert).

(g)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing business as" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in AMS Procurement Guidance, the Contractor must provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to:

(A) Change the name in the SAM database;

(B) Comply with the requirements of AMS regarding novation and change-of-name agreements;

and

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide the Contracting Officer with the notification, sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of Payment" paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor must not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims.

Assignees must be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.sam.gov.

(End of Clause)

3.3.1-36 Availability of Funds - Option Periods under a Continuing Resolution (OCT 2024)

Due to the possibility of the enactment of a continuing resolution in lieu of an annual appropriation, full fiscal year funding may not be available for an entire contract option period.

In the event of a continuing resolution, FAA will only be liable for an amount based on the time period specified by the continuing resolution. The amount of funds made available by the continuing resolution will be specified by subsequent modification. If the contractor provides services in excess of the funded amount or beyond the covered period, the contractor does so at its own risk.

(End of Clause)

3.3.1-37 Limitation on Government's Obligation (July 2018)

(a) Of the total price of contract line item number(s) CLIN XXX1A, CLIN XXXX1B, and CLIN XXXX7 (See Attachment J.5) is presently available for payment and allocated to these CLINs.

(b) The Contractor agrees to perform on these CLINs up to the point at which, in the event of termination of this contract pursuant to the applicable "Termination for Convenience of the Government" clause, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable in respect of subcontracts and settlement costs,) pursuant to paragraph (c) below, would in the exercise of reasonable judgment by the Contractor approximate the total amount currently allotted to the contract. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work on these CLINs beyond this point. The Government is not obligated to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount from time to time allotted to the contract, regardless of anything to the contrary in http://www.sam.gov/

"Termination for Convenience of the Government."

(c) Funds presently allotted to this contract are estimated to cover the work to be performed until (refer to individual Task Orders). If funds allotted are considered by the Contractor to be inadequate to cover the work to be performed until this date, or an agreed substitute date, the Contractor must notify the Contracting Office in writing when within the next 30 days the work will reach a point at which, in the event of termination of this contract pursuant to "Termination for Convenience of the Government," the total amount payable by the Government pursuant to paragraph (e) below, will approximate 85 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract. The notice must state the estimated date when this point will be reached and the estimated amount of additional funds required to continue performance to the above or an agreed substitute date. The Contractor must, 30 days prior to the date above written or agreed substitute date, advise the Contracting Officer in writing as to the estimated amount of additional funds which will be required for the timely performance of the CLINs for a further period as may be specified in this clause or otherwise agreed to by the parties. If after this notification, additional funds are not allotted by the date above written or by an agreed substitute date, the Contracting Officer will, upon written request of the Contractor, terminate this contract on such date or the date set forth in the request, whichever is later, pursuant to "Termination for Convenience of the Government."

(d) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the CLINs, the parties will agree on the applicable period of contract performance that will be covered by such funds.

Paragraphs (b) and (c) above apply to the additional allotted funds and agreed substituted date and the contract will be modified accordingly.

(e) If the Contractor incurs additional costs, or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract, solely by the reason of the failure of the Government to allot additional funds in amounts sufficient for the timely performance of this contract, and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the CLINs, in the time of delivery, or in both.

Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder will be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the "Contract Disputes" Clause.

(f) The Government may at any time prior to termination, and with the consent of the Contractor, after notice of termination, allot additional funds for this contract.

(g) The provisions of this clause with respect to termination will in no way be deemed to limit the rights of the Government under the applicable AMS "Default" clause. The provisions of this clause are limited to the work on and allotment of funds for the CLIN(s) in paragraph (a) above.

This clause no longer applies upon the allotment of funds for the total price of the CLINs except for rights and obligations existing under this clause.

(h) Nothing in this clause will affect the right of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant to "Termination for Convenience of the Government." In the event of a conflict between this clause and any other term or condition of this contract, this clause will take precedence.

(End of Clause)

3.3.1-40 Electronic Submission of Payment Requests (INTERIM September 2025)

(1) “Contract financing” is a contractual authorization for payments to a contractor prior to acceptance of products or services by FAA.

(2) “Payment request” means a bill, voucher, invoice, or request for contract financing payment or invoice payment with associated supporting documentation. The payment request must comply with the requirements identified in this clause and the applicable Payment clause and invoicing requirements included in this contract.

(3) “Electronic form” means an automated system transmitting information electronically according to the accepted electronic data transmission methods and formats identified in paragraph (c) of this clause. Facsimile, email, and scanned documents are not acceptable electronic forms for submission of payment requests.

(4) “Invoice payment” means a Government disbursement of monies to a contractor under a contract or other authorization for supplies or services accepted by the Government. This includes payments for partial deliveries that have been accepted by the Government, final payments under T&M and labor-hour contracts, and final cost or fee payments where amounts owed have been settled between the Government and the contractor.

(b) Electronic payment requests. Except as provided in paragraph (f) of this clause, the Contractor must submit payment requests in electronic form. Purchases paid with a Government purchase card are considered to be an electronic transaction for purposes of this rule, and therefore no additional electronic invoice submission is required.

(c) The Federal Aviation Administration utilizes the Delphi eInvoicing web-portal for processing invoices. Contractors submitting invoices are required to submit invoices via the Delphi eInvoicing web portal which is accessed and authenticated via www.login.gov

(d) In order to receive payment and in accordance with prompt payment standards, the Contractor must submit a proper invoice. All invoices submitted as attachments in the Delphi eInvoicing web-portal must contain the following:

(1) Invoice number and invoice date.

(2) Period of performance covered by invoice.

(3) Contract number and title.

(4) Task/Delivery Order number and title (if applicable).

(5) Amount billed (by CLIN), current and cumulative.

(6) Total ($) of billing.

(7) Cumulative total billed for all contract work to date.

(8) Name, title, phone number, mailing address, and email address (if available) of person to be contacted in the event of a defective invoice.

(9) The following statement: “The Contractor affirms that it does not operate any diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that are inconsistent with the Equal Protection principles of the Constitution and the non-discrimination requirements of Federal law, as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Students for Fair Admissions v.

Harvard, 600 U.S. 181 (2023).”
