AC4550 DELIVERIES TO THE MIKE MONRONEY AERONAUTICAL CENTER (MMAC) (JUL

2015)

(a) Security procedures at the MMAC require that all mail, materials, packages or parcels of any kind be delivered to a central screening point, for inspection by the FAA. This affects mail and other deliveries destined for all organizations located on MMAC property, including government organizations, contractors and permit holders.

After passing security inspection, the mail or material may be handled and delivered by the FAA. FAA will make every reasonable effort to conduct inspections and handle items in a careful manner so as to avoid damage or delay.

(b) This inspection is for the benefit of the FAA only. The FAA makes no representation that any material passing inspection is without hazard, poses no threat, or that it conforms in form, fit, function or quantity to the expectations of the intended recipient.

(c) The FAA shall not be liable for any 1) loss, damage or shortage of any mail or materials, 2) injury, or 3) delay in performance resulting from such inspection and handling, unless liable under the Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. 2671-2680).

(d) Any item destined for the contractor that fails to pass inspection remains the property of the contractor, who is responsible for its disposition and coordination with law enforcement agencies as necessary.

G.1 DELIVERY ORDER PROCESSING - MULTIPLE AWARD BLANKET ORDERING

AGREEMENTS

(a) Delivery orders under this Blanket Ordering Agreement (BOA) will be issued only by duly authorized Contracting Officer(s) of the Federal Aviation Administration, Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center.

(b) Delivery orders may be issued under this BOA by the Contracting Officer at any time within the term of this contract.

(c) As this contract represents one (1) of [CO to enter number of BOAs awarded] multiple awards, the following applies to delivery orders to be issued hereunder:

(1) Delivery orders will be issued based on fixed-price proposals submitted in accordance with Clause H.1, Ordering Procedures. The procedures for the placement of particular orders need not comply with competition requirements specified in Clause H.1, under the circumstances specified in paragraph (d) below.

(d) All awardees need not be given an opportunity to be considered for a particular delivery order if the Contracting Officer determines that:

(1) The agency’s need for the requirement is of such urgency that awarding to the low offeror would result in unacceptable delays.

(2) The order should be issued on a single source basis, in the interest of economy and efficiency, as a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract.

(3) The order should be issued on a single source basis, in the interest of economy and efficiency, when a rational basis has been established and documented.

(4) The order should be issued after exclusion of awardees based on one of the following circumstances:

(i) If an awardee’s performance under recent orders under the BOA raises questions regarding that awardee’s ability to perform at an acceptable level.

(ii) Where information is available to indicate that an awardee has a conflict of interest with the work anticipated under the order or does not have the capacity to perform a particular order at the level of quality required or within the time required due to the volume or complexity of ongoing work.

(iii) Other circumstances that in the judgment of the Contracting Officer provides a sufficient basis for excluding an awardee from a particular order, when a rational basis has been established and documented.

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.

(End of Clause)

AC4555 NOTICE OF CONTRACTOR TESTIMONY (SEP 2006)

(a) The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer promptly in writing of its intention, or the intention of its employees, subcontractors of any tier, or subcontractor employees, either voluntarily or under compulsion of competent authority, to provide sworn testimony on any matter related to or arising under the work required by and/or performed under, this contract. 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.

H.1 ORDERING PROCEDURES

(a) In accordance with BOA clause 3.2.4-16 Ordering, delivery orders will be issued by a Contracting Officer at the FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Oklahoma City, OK. The following procedures shall be used for solicitation, negotiation and award of individual delivery orders issued hereunder.

(1) Proposed fixed-prices will be evaluated as asset(s) are identified for acquisition. For each delivery order, unless an exception pursuant to clause G.1(d) applies, a Request for Quote (RFQ) will be issued to each multiple-award BOA holder for

NSN 5999-01-442-3976 Slip Ring Assemblies MOOG Components Group Limited P/N: D1619-100P1 or

NSN 5999-01-423-0729 Brush Blocks MOOG Components Group Limited P/N: LQ4014-2 or Frontgrade Technologies Inc. P/N: D1619-100P2

Delivery order(s) will be issued to the offeror who provided the low fixed-price proposal in response to the RFQ. Past performance and delivery requirements will be evaluated in accordance with clause G.1(d) Delivery Order Processing-Multiple Award Blanket Ordering Agreements. The evaluation factors and their relative importance may differ from delivery order to delivery order based on the Government’s requirement.

(2) The Government reserves the right to award without discussions.

(3) The decision shall be final and conclusive and shall not be subject to the Disputes clause or the Contract Disputes Act.

(4) Upon receipt of any delivery order issued hereunder, the contractor shall furnish to the Government a new serviceable unit as required at the price and delivery set forth in the delivery order.

(5) Delivery orders shall be issued under this BOA on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis. CLIN prices shall be established for each delivery order based on quotes received in response to RFQs issued under these BOAs.

(6) Delivery orders shall be issued in writing. Delivery orders shall set forth:

(A) NSN

(B) Quantity

(C) Price

(D) Delivery time

(E) Delivery location

(F) Funds obligated

(7) Modifications to delivery orders will be issued in writing.

(b) The Government may order slip ring assemblies and brush blocks described at paragraph (a) from the contractor pursuant to G.1, Delivery Order Processing—Multiple Award Blanket Ordering Agreements, as well as the following processes and procedures:

(1) Delivery orders will be awarded to the low offeror in response to the RFQ submitted, except pursuant to G.1 paragraph (d).

(2) The offer represents the lowest price proposed while taking into account delivery and other price-related and evaluation factors.

(c) It is anticipated that individual delivery orders under this BOA will not exceed $300,000. See clause 3.2.4- 17 Order Limitations. However, notwithstanding the order limitations specified in the Order Limitations clause, the government reserves the right to place orders under this BOA in excess of $300,000 under the following conditions:

(1) The contractor accepts an order above the order limitation in accordance with paragraph (d) of the Order Limitations clause; and

(2) The Government determines that placing an order under the BOA best satisfies the requirement when factors such as price, quality, timeliness of delivery, and other administrative considerations; e.g. procurement lead-time, expiration of funds, are considered, and a rational basis for such a determination has been established and documented.

3.2.2.3-39 REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFIED COST OR PRICING DATA OR DATA OTHER

THAN CERTIFIED COST OR PRICING DATA - MODIFICATIONS (JAN 2022)

(a) Request for exception from certified cost or pricing data requirements.

(1) In lieu of submitting certified cost or pricing data for modifications under this contract, on the date of the agreement on price or the date of the award, whichever is later, the Contractor may submit a written request for exception by submitting the information described in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) of this clause. The Contracting Officer may require additional supporting information, but only to the extent necessary to determine whether an exception should be granted, and whether the price is fair and reasonable.

(i) Identification of the law or regulation establishing the price offered. If the price is controlled under law by periodic rulings, reviews, or similar actions of a governmental body, attach a copy of the controlling document, unless it was previously submitted to the contracting office.

(ii) Information on modifications of contracts or subcontracts for commercial items.

(A) If-

(1) The original contract or subcontract was granted an exception from certified cost or pricing data requirements because the price agreed upon was based on adequate price competition or prices set by law or regulation, or was a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of a commercial item; and

(2) The modification (to the contract or subcontract) is not exempted based on one of these exceptions, then the Contractor may provide information to establish that the modification would not change the contract or subcontract from a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of a commercial item to a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of an item other than a commercial item.

(B) For a commercial item exception, the Contractor must provide, at a minimum, information on prices at which the same item or similar items have previously been sold that is adequate for evaluating the reasonableness of the price of the modification. Dependent upon the commercial items being catalog items, market-priced items, or items included on an active Federal Supply Service Multiple Award Schedule contract, the Contractor must include the corresponding information pursuant to that of which is described in paragraphs (a)(1)(B)(1); (a)(1)(B)(2) or (a)(1)(B)(3) of this clause:

(1) For catalog items, a copy of or identification of the catalog and its date, or the appropriate pages for the offered items, or a statement that the catalog is on file in the buying office to which the proposal is being submitted. Provide a copy or describe current discount policies and price lists (published or unpublished), e.g., wholesale, original equipment manufacturer, or reseller. Also explain the basis of each offered price and its relationship to the established catalog price, including how the proposed price relates to the price of recent sales in quantities similar to the proposed quantities.

(2) For market-priced items, the source and date or period of the market quotation or other basis for market price, the base amount, and applicable discounts. In addition, describe the nature of the market.

(3) For items included on an active Federal Supply Service Multiple Award Schedule contract, proof that an exception has been granted for the schedule item.

(2) The Contractor grants the Contracting Officer or an authorized representative the right to examine, at any time before award, books, records, documents, or other directly pertinent records to verify any request for an exception under this clause, and the reasonableness of price. For items priced using catalog or market prices, or law or regulation, access does not extend to cost or profit information or other data relevant solely to the Contractor's determination of the prices to be offered in the catalog or marketplace.

(b) Requirements for certified cost or pricing data.

If the offeror is not granted an exception from the requirement to submit certified cost or pricing data, the following applies:

(1) The offeror must prepare and submit certified cost or pricing data, data other than certified cost or pricing data, and supporting attachments in accordance with the information contained at AMS Guidance T3.2.3.G.1 "Instructions for Submitting Certified Cost/Price Proposals for Supplies, Services, or Construction," which is incorporated by reference with the same force and effect as though it were inserted here in full text. The instructions in AMS T3.2.3.G.1 are incorporated as a mandatory format to be used in this contract.

(2) As soon as practicable after agreement on price, but before contract award (except for unpriced actions such as letter contracts), the offeror must submit a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data that conforms to the instructions contained in the Appendix G1 to AMS Guidance T3.2.3, 'Cost and Price Methodology."

(End of clause)

3.2.4-16 ORDERING (OCT 2024)

(a) Any supplies and services to be furnished under this contract must be ordered by issuance of delivery orders or task orders by the individuals or activities designated in the contract. Such orders may be issued from the date of BOA award through the effective period of the contract.

(b) All delivery orders or task orders are subject to the terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of a conflict between a delivery order or task order and this contract, the contract must control.

(c) If mailed, a delivery order or task order is considered "issued" when the FAA deposits the order in the mail.

Orders issued by facsimile, email or other electronic commerce methods are considered "issued" when the FAA sends the order. Orders may be issued orally only if authorized in the contract.

(End of clause)

3.2.4-17 ORDER LIMITATIONS (OCT 2019)

(a) Minimum order. When the Government requires supplies or services covered by this contract in an amount of less than one (1), the Government is not obligated to purchase, nor is the Contractor obligated to furnish, those supplies or services under the contract.

(b) Maximum order. The Contractor is not obligated to honor-

(1) Any order for a single item in excess of $300,000.00;

(2) Any order for a combination of items in excess of 50 each; or

(3) A series of orders from the same ordering office within 30 days that together call for quantities exceeding the limitation in subparagraph (1) or (2) above.

(c) If this is a requirements contract, the Government is not required to order a part of any one requirement from the Contractor if that requirement exceeds the maximum-order limitations in paragraph (b) above.

(3) The offeror will include the language of this clause in all subcontract awards at any tier and require that all recipients of subcontract awards in excess of $150,000 must disclose accordingly.

(4) This certification and disclosure is a prerequisite for making or entering into this contract imposed by the Act. Any person who makes a prohibited expenditure or fails to file or amend a disclosure form, must be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000, for each such failure.

(c) The prohibitions of the Act do not apply under the following conditions:

(1) Agency and legislative liaison by its own employees.

(i) The prohibition on the use of appropriated funds, in subparagraph (b)(1) of this clause, does not apply in the case of a payment of reasonable compensation made to an officer or employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action if the payment is for agency and legislative liaison activities not directly related to a covered Federal action.

(ii) For purposes of subdivision (c)(1)(i) of this clause, providing any information specifically requested by an agency or Congress is permitted at any time.

(iii) The following agency and legislative liaison activities are permitted at any time where they are not related to a specific solicitation for any covered Federal action:

(A) Discussing with an agency the qualities and characteristics (including individual demonstrations) of the person's products or services, conditions or terms of sale, and service capabilities.

(B) Technical discussions and other activities regarding the application or adaptation of the person's products or services for an agency's use.

(iv) The following agency and legislative liaison activities are permitted where they are prior to the Screening Information Request (SIR) of any covered Federal action:

(A) Providing any information not specifically requested but necessary for an agency to make an informed decision about initiation of a covered Federal action;

(B) Technical discussions regarding the preparation of an unsolicited proposal prior to its official submission; and

(C) Capability presentations by persons seeking awards from an agency pursuant to the provisions of a law authorizing such actions;

(2) Professional and technical services.

(i) The prohibition on the use of appropriated funds, in subparagraph (b)(1) of this clause, does not apply in the case of:

(A) A payment of reasonable compensation made to an officer or employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or an extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of a covered Federal action, if payment is for professional or technical services rendered directly in the preparation, submission, or negotiation of submittal/offer or application for that Federal action or for meeting requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving that Federal action.

(B) Any reasonable payment to a person, other than an officer or employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or an extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of a covered Federal action if the payment is for professional or technical services rendered directly in the preparation, submission, or negotiation of any submittal/offer or application for that Federal action or for meeting requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving that Federal action. Persons other than officers or employees of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action include consultants and trade associations.

(ii) For purposes of subdivision (c)(2)(i) of this clause, 'professional and technical services' must be limited to advice and analysis directly applying any professional or technical discipline. For example, drafting of a legal document accompanying a submittal/offer by a lawyer is allowable.

Similarly, technical advice provided by an engineer on the performance or operational capability of a piece of equipment rendered directly in the negotiation of a contract is allowable. However, communications with the intent to influence made by a professional (such as a licensed lawyer) or a technical person (such as a licensed accountant) are not allowable under this section unless they provide advice and analysis directly applying their professional or technical expertise and unless the advice or analysis is rendered directly and solely in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action. Thus, for example, communications with the intent to influence made by a lawyer that do not provide legal advice or analysis directly and solely related to the legal aspects of his or her client's submittal/offer, but generally advocate one proposal over another are not allowable under this section because the lawyer is not providing professional legal services.

Similarly, communications with the intent to influence made by an engineer providing an engineering analysis prior to the preparation or submission of a submittal/offer are not allowable under this section since the engineer is providing technical services but not directly in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action.

(iii) Requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving a covered Federal award include those required by law or regulation and any other requirements in the actual award documents.

(iv) The reporting requirements herein must not apply with respect to payments of reasonable compensation made to regularly employed officers or employees of a person.

(3) Only those communications and services expressly authorized by paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this clause are permitted under this clause.

(d) Disclosure.

(1) If the Contractor, who requests or receives from an agency a Federal contract, has made or has agreed to make any payment using non-appropriated funds (to include profits from any Covered Federal action), to any person for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any Agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress on his or her behalf in connection with a Covered Federal action, the Contractor must file with that agency a disclosure form, OMB Standard Form LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities..

(2) The Contractor must file a disclosure form at the end of each calendar quarter in which there occurs any event that materially affects the accuracy of the information contained in any disclosure form previously filed by such person under subparagraph (d)(1) of this clause. An event that materially affects the accuracy of the information reported includes:

(i) A cumulative increase of $25,000 or more in the amount paid or expected to be paid for influencing or attempting to influence a covered Federal action; or

(ii) A change in the person(s) or individual(s) influencing or attempting to influence a covered Federal action; or

(iii) A change in the officer(s), employee(s), or Member(s) contacted to influence or attempt to influence a covered Federal action.

(3) The Contractor must require the certification, and if required, a disclosure form by any person who requests or receives any subcontractor exceeding $150,000 under the Federal contract.

(4) All subcontractor disclosure forms must be forwarded from tier to tier until received by the prime Contractor. The prime Contractor must submit all disclosures to the Contracting Officer at the end of the calendar quarter in which the disclosure form is submitted by the subcontractor.

(e) Agreement. The Contractor agrees not to make any payment prohibited by this clause.

(f) Penalties.

(1) Any person who makes an expenditure prohibited under paragraph (b) of this clause or fails to file or amend the disclosure form to be filed or amended by paragraph (b) must be subject to civil penalties as provided for by 31 U.S.C. 1352. An imposition of a civil penalty does not prevent the Government from seeking any other remedy that may be applicable.

(2) Contractors may rely without liability on the representations made by their subcontractors in the certification and in the disclosure form.

(g) Cost allowability. Nothing in this clause makes allowable or reasonable any costs which would otherwise be unallowable or unreasonable. Conversely, costs made specifically unallowable by the requirements in this clause will not be made allowable under any other provision.

The FAA's obligation for performance of this contract beyond that date is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made.
