Section H - Special Contract Requirements Clause List
3.1.9-1 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND SIGNATURE (JUL 2020)
(a) The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) establishes a legal equivalence between:
(1) Contracts written on paper and contracts in electronic form;
(2) Pen-and-ink signatures and electronic signatures; and
(3) Other legally-required written records and the same information in electronic form.
(b) With the submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges and accepts the utilization of electronic commerce as part of the requirements of this solicitation and the resultant contract.
(c) Certain documents may need to be provided or maintained in original form, such as large-scale drawings impractical to convert to electronic format or a document with a raised seal signifying authenticity. This clause does not change or affect any other requirements that a document must be in paper format to satisfy legal requirements such as for certain real estate transactions.
(d) The use of electronic signature technology is authorized under this solicitation and the resulting contract.
(e) Contractors must not digitally sign any documents with software that uses the Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA- 1). All digitally signed documents and contracts sent to the FAA must use a SHA-256 or higher hash algorithm. This is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Policy Statement on Hash Functions dated August 5, 2015. Further guidance on the use of SHA-256 is in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-57 Part 1, section
5.6.2 as amended and SP 800-131A, Revision 1 dated November 6, 2015. Additional guidance on the use of SHA-3 is in NIST SP 800-185 as amended.
(f) Contractors do not have to update documents previously digitally signed using SHA-1 hash algorithms unless the document requires updating. The FAA and contractors may continue to use SHA-1 for the following applications:
Verifying old digital signatures and time stamps, generating and verifying hash-based message authentication codes (HMACs), key derivation functions (KDFs), and random bit/number generation.

Such written notification at a minimum shall consist of the date and time of the testimony, identification of the court, board, or other body before which the testimony is made, the nature of the testimony to be given to the extent it is known at the time of this report, the nature of the contractor’s involvement in the proceeding and any other circumstances related to the work performed under or related to the contract and the proceeding in which the testimony will be taken.
(b) The contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (b), in all subcontracts executed under this contract and shall require all subcontractors to provide the required report to the contractor.
AC4557 STRIKES OR PICKETING
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Contractor is responsible for delays arising out of labor disputes, including but not limited to strikes, if such strikes are reasonably avoidable. A delay caused by a strike or by picketing which constitutes an unfair labor practice is not excusable unless the Contractor takes all reasonable and appropriate action to end such a strike or picketing, such as the filing of a charge with the National Labor Relations Board, the use of other available Government procedures, and the use of private boards or organizations for the settlement of disputes.

(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.

(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.

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.
(End of clause)

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

(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 30 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.

(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;

(B) For commercial items, you may provide information on selling prices of the same item or similar items in the commercial market; and
(viii) Any other information the CO requests to support your request for an exception or to conclude that your price is fair and reasonable.
(b) You give the CO the right to examine books, records, documents, or other directly pertinent records to verify your request for an exception under this clause or the reasonableness of price at any time before award.
(c) The CO will not require you to provide access to cost or price information or other data that apply to prices offered in the catalog or marketplace.
(d) Submitting information to qualify for an exception does not mean that this is the only exception that may apply.

(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.
