Section H - Special Contract Requirements Clause List

DATA OWNERSHIP: PROVISION OF SAMPLES AND DATA TO THE FAA, PLUS REQUIREMENT

FOR CONTRACTOR-INITIATED PUBLICATION, DISSEMINATION, AND PRESENTATION OF

SAMPLES, DATA AND RESULTS FUNDED IN PART OR ENTIRETY FROM THIS CONTRACT TO BE

SUBJECT TO PRIOR FAA AUTHORIZATION

H.1 Transmission of data/samples to the FAA

It is the intent of the Functional Genomics team of the FAA to publish results in peer-reviewed journal literature, as well as generate technical report(s), commensurate with research findings.

The Functional Genomics team must be provided all data and samples generated from the study specified in the Statement of Work and associated documents of the contract, including but not limited to neurobehavioral test results collected during the acclimation days. The Functional Genomics team must receive all data in raw form, in addition to any and all interpretations and explanations as described in this SOW and associated documents. Where appropriate and possible, the Functional Genomics team must also receive the data transformed into tabular format ready for statistical analysis, and analyzed data such as interpreted polysomnography results. In any event where it is not appropriate to transmit data into tabular format ready for statistical analysis, data must still be provided in a form accessible to the Functional Genomics team with standard software.

If partial, incomplete, or otherwise failed data or biological samples are collected (such as samples and data from a participant that completed half of the study before dropping out), the collected data and samples must be provided to the Functional Genomics team. Provision of the data and samples must include an explanation of why they are partial/incomplete or otherwise failed (e.g., statement the subject dropped out, instrument malfunctioned, etc.) that clarifies which if any of the data and samples are reliable. However, the Contractor will remain responsible for recruiting additional subjects to account for attrition and meet the required thresholds including failure rates as specified in the Statement of Work and associated documents.

H.2 Publications and presentations initiated by the FAA

It is anticipated that the FAA will share authorship with the Contractor on one or more publications, as established by the FAA in accordance with the Contractor’s contributions and standard industry practice. The FAA will retain the right of final decision on all matters relating to publication, including authorship. Co-authorship by the Contractor on FAA publications or presentations will require the Contractor’s compliance with the clearance review process of the

FAA’s Office of Aerospace Medicine. Failure to comply with clearance review requirements, including timely review of materials prior to their publication or presentation, may result in the Contractor being excluded from the author list.

H.3 Contractor-initiated work on data and/or samples funded in part or entirety by this contract and associated agreements, and Contractor-initiated publication, presentation, or dissemination of findings

The FAA also retains the right to permit or deny additional research to be conducted on the data or samples gathered in this study, or from work with and observations of the study subjects during their time in the laboratory. For example, this could include add-on and/or follow-up studies proposed by the Contractor, the Functional Genomics team, or others that will complement but not duplicate the current study’s aims. Any follow-up or additional work(s) by the Contractor and their publication or presentation using data or samples funded in part or entirety by this contract cannot lessen the impact of the FAA’s research or jeopardize collection of reliable data as required in this Statement of Work and associated documents. The FAA will be the deciding authority on what constitutes a risk of lessening impact or jeopardizing collection of reliable data and provide a statement of agreement or denial. It is not the intent of the FAA to limit publication of facts that contradict the FAA’s findings (if such contradictions arise) or otherwise permanently prevent disclosure of information. Concerns regarding lessening of impact largely are with regards to pre-release or use by the Contractor of findings prior to publication (and if/where applicable, patenting) by the FAA.

Consequently, the FAA requires that any Contractor work performed for Contractor purposes that is unnecessary to accomplish the needs of this contract and unnecessary to accomplish any funded over & above items with study subjects, samples, or data derived in part or entirety from this study must have prior written, signed agreement by the FAA (see process below). Collection of any additional biological samples or data from study subjects that the Contractor would associate with any data or samples derived in part or entirety from this study must have prior written, signed agreement by the FAA. Any release by the Contractor of data/information (to include written, oral, and poster publications and presentations) derived in part or entirety from the study as described in this Statement of Work and associated documents must have prior written, signed approval by the FAA. For example, collection of additional neurobehavioral data and specimens to include collection at time points in addition to what is stated in Exhibit A - Table 1 (e.g., at 2 hr vs. 4 hr intervals during time awake) if proposed by the Contractor, must be agreed upon by the FAA, allowing the FAA to evaluate potential risks of the additional data collection. The FAA must have access to any data from add-on and/or or follow-up work funded in part or entirety by the Contract resulting from this solicitation. Access must be granted in a timely fashion (immediately or as soon as technically possible) if such data may be reasonably expected to aid efforts in identifying, interpreting, or understanding biomarkers, gene expression, or other aeromedically relevant results.

H.4 Process for Contractor-initiated additional work and release of data/information

Requests for follow-up or additional work and release of data/information by the Contractor must be submitted in writing to the FAA Functional Genomics Team and allow up to 20 working federal business days for the approval/denial signature. The Functional Genomics team may require the Contractor to provide additional information if deemed necessary, in which case the Functional Genomics team will have 20 working federal business days from time of receipt of the additional information to approve/deny the request. In the event that unforeseen circumstances or complications (e.g., need for additional Government approvals) require an extension, such extension timeframe will be negotiated between the Contractor and Functional Genomics team, with the Functional Genomics team having final decision authority. The original Contractor written request must include the purpose of the Contractor in their work, the Contractor’s publication/presentation strategy (including list of authors, type of publication, and estimated timing of publication), and a statement of any impacts the work may have on the study as described in this Statement of Work and associated documents and contractual agreements, including any over & above items that have been selected or agreed upon (e.g., additional tasks performed by subjects during break periods). Approval by the Functional Genomics team may include conditions that the Contractor must follow (e.g., coordination of timing of publication such that the Contractor’s publication release does not pre-publish findings intended to be released by the FAA, agreement to undergo clearance review and/or use a Disclaimer). The Contractor will be responsible for compliance with IRB guidance, 49 CFR 11, and HIPAA compliance to the extent applicable for any such Contractor follow-up or additional work.

H.5 Co-authorship of FAA on Contractor-initiated publications

Authorship of key personnel of the FAA on Contractor follow-up or add-on studies is expected to follow standard industry practice, acknowledging the right of the Contractor to lead and publish such works if they received written signed approval, as described above. However, any publication by the Contractor arising from work funded in part or entirety by the Contract resulting from this solicitation and associated documents, must include an offer of co-authorship to the FAA and provision of opportunities for involvement as appropriate for meeting co-authorship requirements by peer-reviewed journals and standard industry practice. The FAA team may accept or decline the opportunity for involvement and co-authorship. The Contractor must agree to follow the Office of Aerospace Medicine’s clearance review process prior to publication, presentation, and release of any data associated with this study, and/or to use a Disclaimer statement (e.g., that opinions expressed in the publication are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the U.S. Government), as appropriate and as determined necessary by the FAA. In any cases in which an employee of the FAA is an author, the clearance process must be followed.

H.6 Conditions after data/information has been released in written publicly accessible literature

After the Functional Genomics team has published a piece of data in written literature (e.g., peer-reviewed journal article), it is understood that the Contractor and the general public may choose to perform follow up analyses of data contained in the literature after it is made publicly available without seeking FAA approval. It is expected, however, that the Contractor will not abuse its potential foreknowledge of such data to publish findings before the FAA, that it is aware the FAA plans to publish in subsequent articles; such awareness is anticipated to evolve from the collaboration of the Contractor on one or more publications resulting from the study funded by this contract as stated at the outset of this clause. If the publication includes new information that has not been published by the FAA in written publicly accessible literature, such as additional data from Contractor-initiated studies whose collection was funded at least in part by this contract (including any over & above items), then the FAA must be granted the opportunity for co-authorship as stated above.

3.1.9-1 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND SIGNATURE (JUL 2018)

(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)

3.8.2-17 KEY PERSONNEL AND FACILITIES (MAY 1997)

(a) The personnel and/or facilities as specified below are considered essential to the work being performed hereunder and may, with the consent of the contracting parties, be changed from time to time during the course of the contract.

(b) Prior to removing, replacing, or diverting any of the specified personnel and/or facilities, the Contractor shall notify in writing, and receive consent from, the Contracting Officer reasonably in advance of the action and shall submit justification (including proposed substitutions) in sufficient detail to permit evaluation of the impact on this contract.

(c) No diversion shall be made by the Contractor without the written consent of the Contracting Officer.

(d) The key personnel and/or facilities under this contract are:

(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.

AC4556 PERSONNEL AND SUPERVISION (JUL 2015)

The contractor shall designate sufficient supervisory personnel to meet task outcomes. Contract supervisors will provide day-to-day supervision of contract personnel including, but not limited to, work monitoring, payroll records, leave, etc. At no time will FAA personnel assume any responsibility for the supervision of contractor personnel.

Government assistance will be available to provide technical and policy guidance through the assigned Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

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.

(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.

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.

(h) The contractor agrees to include the substance of this clause in all subcontracts awarded under this contract.

Upon receiving this notice, the Government may acquire the supplies or services from another source.

(End of clause)

3.2.4-19 REQUIREMENTS (OCT 1996)

(a) This is a requirements contract for the supplies or services specified, and effective for the period stated, in the Schedule. The quantities of supplies or services specified in the "Schedule" are estimates only and are not purchased by this contract.

(b) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. Subject to any limitations in the Order Limitations clause or elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government all supplies or services specified in the "Schedule" and called for by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. The Government may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations.

(f) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order. The contract shall 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 shall not be required to make any deliveries under this contract after the delivery date required by order(s) placed within the ordering period.

(End of clause)

(End of clause)

3.2.4-35 OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT (OCT 2018)

The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension.

(b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option provision.

(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 6 (months) 5 (years).

Funds are not presently available for performance under this contract beyond September 30, 2020.

(End of clause)

3.3.1-33 SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (JUL 2018)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause

"Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number" means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

"Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number" means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.)

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.

"Registered in the SAM database" means that the Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, 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.

(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 DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number 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 DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number

(i) If located within the United States, by calling Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 or via the Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:

(i) Company legal business.

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

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

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

(v) Company Telephone Number.

(vi) Date the company was started.

(vii) Number of employees at your location.

(viii) Chief executive officer/key manager.

(ix) Line of business (industry).

(x) 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, which normally takes 48 hours, 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 the 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 designated as a SDVOSB by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and this designation appears as such on the Veteran Affairs website, https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov.

(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.
