(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.

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

(End of Clause)

3.3.1-37 LIMITATION ON GOVERNMENT'S OBLIGATION (JUL 2018)

(a) Of the total price of contract line item number(s) (CLINs) 001-005, $0.00 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 "Termination for Convenience of the Government."

(c) Funds presently allotted to this contract are estimated to cover the work to be performed until 06/01/2020. 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)

(11) The Contractor must take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the FAA may direct as a means of enforcing these terms and conditions, including sanctions for noncompliance; provided, that if the Contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of any direction, the Contractor may request the United States to enter into the litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

During the contract, the FAA ARO (or ARO's designate) has the right to inspect where the records are stored (digitally or paper records) in order to ensure they are properly protected from the elements and/or loss. This inspection must be coordinated through the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Representative. The contractor must be provided 30 calendar days' notice of such inspections. This clause may be tailored to provide for a different notice period. Additional details regarding such inspections consistent with this clause may be specified in the Statement of Work.

All deliverables under the contract are the property of the U.S. Government for which FAA will have unlimited rights to use, dispose of, or disclose such data contained therein as it determines to be in the public interest. Any Contractor rights in the data or deliverables must be identified as required by applicable data rights clauses in this contract.

(g) Training. All Contractor employees assigned to this contract who create, work with, or otherwise handle records are required to take FAA-provided records management training upon starting under the contract and annually thereafter as per the FAA Electronic Learning Management System (eLMS). If the contractor does not have access to eLMS, the contractor is to contact the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) who will advise the ARO who will in turn make arrangements to ensure the contractor has access. The Contractor is responsible for confirming to the Contracting Officer in an annual report due by September 30 of each year under the contract that training, including initial training and annual refresher training, has been completed in accordance with agency policies. This annual report must list the employee names and dates of initial or annual refresher training.

(h) Agency Records Officer (ARO) - regarding clause provisions above that cite the ARO or designate, information as to the name of the ARO or the ARO designate for particular locations outside FAA Headquarters may be obtained from the FAA Records and Information Management Team (RIM) at 9-faa-records-management-program@faa.gov.

3.14-2 CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS (JAN 2019)

1. No contractor employee, subcontractor, or consultant will be allowed unescorted access to any FAA facility;

access to FAA sensitive information; or access to FAA systems or resources unless they have been authorized by the FAA Office of Personnel Security (AXP).

2. Consistent with FAA Order 1600.72, AXP must approve designated risk levels for the positions under the contract, to be determined by the FAA Operating Office (the organization with the requirement) in coordination with the COR, using the OPM Position Designation Automated Tool (PD Tool).

3. For all contractor employees, subcontractors, or consultants requiring access to FAA facilities, sensitive information, systems, or resources, the contractor must submit to their responsible AXP office a point of contact (POC) who will be responsible for entering all contractor applicant data into the Vendor Applicant Process (VAP) system (vap.faa.gov).

4. If an applicant has had a previous US Government conducted background investigation, which meets the investigative requirements for the position and meets established reciprocity guidelines, it will be accepted by the FAA. The FAA reserves the right to conduct further investigations, including requesting additional information from the applicant, if necessary.

5. If no previous investigation exists, or if the previous investigation does not meet investigative requirements for the position, AXP will:

a. Send the applicant an e-mail (this step may be delegated to VAP POC) stating that the applicant must complete a form through the electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (eQIP) system;

b. Instruct the applicant how to enter and complete the eQIP form;

c. Provide where to send/fax applicable forms; and

d. Provide instructions regarding fingerprinting.

The applicant must complete the eQIP form and submit other required material within 15-calendar days of receiving the e-mail from AXP. For items to be submitted outside eQIP, the contractor must submit the required information, referencing the contract number, to their responsible AXP office identified below:

For Headquarters Contracts:

Manager, Personnel Security Suitability Branch, AXP-320 800 Independence Avenue, S.W., Room 315 Washington, D.C. 20591

Regional and Center Contracts:

FAA, Joint Security & Hazardous Materials Safety Office, Central Personnel Security Branch, AHC-210, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Suite 6N-205, Fort Worth, TX 71677

6. No contract employee, subcontractor, or consultant will work in any position unless AXP has authorized them to begin work. Authorization will be in the form of an Interim or Final Suitability email notification from AXP to the VAP POC and CO.

7. No contract employees, subcontractor, or consultant will be issued a FAA Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card unless they have been granted an Interim or Final suitability from AXP.

8. The Contractor must update the VAP within twenty-four (24) hours after any contractor employee is terminated or transferred from the contract. If the FAA issued the contract employee a PIV card, the contractor must collect the card and return it to AXP within five business-days of the employee's termination or transfer.

9. The CO will provide notice to the contractor within 24-hours after receipt of a determination that the contractor or its employee has not complied with security-related contract requirements, security related FAA Orders, or if a contractor employee's conduct is objectionable or contrary to the public interest, or inconsistent with the best interest of national security. The notice will instruct the contractor to remove its employee's access to FAA premises or networks, or otherwise remedy the contractor's performance.

10. The contractor must immediately comply with the CO's direction to remedy its security performance at the contractor's expense, including removing the employee from FAA premises and networks. If the contractor employee is working under an interim suitability authorization, the contractor must take appropriate action, including the removal of the contractor employee from working on the FAA contract, at their own expense. Once action has been taken, the contractor must report the action via the VAP within the timeframe prescribed in paragraph 8 of this clause.

11. After coordination with AXP, the CO may require contractor employees to submit any other security information deemed reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the FAA. This includes submitting to additional fingerprinting and background reinvestigations required under Federal Investigative Standards. In this event, the contractor must provide, or cause each of its employees to provide, such security information to AXP. Failure to cooperate with security processing will result in an unfavorable suitability determination.

12. Contractor employees subject to the requirements of this clause must take the FAA Security Awareness Virtual Initiative (SAVI) training within 90 days of reporting to work and annually thereafter. This training is available on the FAA's Electronic Learning Management System (eLMS).

13. The contractor and/or subcontractor(s) must contact the CO, COR, and AXP within one business-day in the event an employee is arrested (i.e., taken into custody by law enforcement for any offenses, other than minor traffic offenses) or is involved in theft of government property or the Contractor becomes aware of any information that may raise a question about the suitability of a contractor employee.

14. Failure to submit information required by this clause within the time required may be determined by the CO a material breach of the contract, and may result in suspension or revoked access to FAA assets for the Contractor's employee.

15. If subsequent to the effective date of this contract, the security classification or security requirements under this contract are changed by the Government and if the changes cause an increase or decrease in direct contract costs or otherwise affect any other term or condition of this contract, the contract will be subject to an equitable adjustment.

16. The contractor agrees to insert terms that conform substantially to the language of this clause, excluding any reference to the Changes clause of this contract, in all subcontracts under…
