3.8.2-22 SUBSTITUTION OR ADDITION OF PERSONNEL (OCT 2006)

(1) The Contractor must assign only those individuals whose resumes, personnel data, or personnel qualification statements have been submitted and determined by the Contracting Officer to meet the minimum requirements of the contract. The Contractor must not substitute or add personnel except in accordance with this clause.

(2) Substitution of Personnel.

(a) For the first 30 days of contract performance, the Contractor must not substitute personnel for the individuals whose resumes or other personal qualification were submitted with its offer and that were determined by the Contracting Officer to be acceptable at the time of contract award, unless such substitutions are because of an individual's sudden illness, death, or termination of employment. In any of these events, the Contractor must promptly notify the Contracting Officer and propose substitute personnel as required by paragraph (4) below.

(b) If an individual becomes, for whatever reason, unavailable for work under the contract for a continuous period exceeding thirty (30) working days, or is expected to devote substantially less effort to the planned work, the Contractor must propose a substitute personnel as required by paragraph (4) below.

(3) Addition of Personnel. If an FAA requirement will increase the specified level of effort for a designated labor category, but not the overall level of effort of the contract, then the Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer to add personnel to the designated labor category. The Contractor must request added personnel as required by paragraph (4) below.

(4) Request and Review. The Contractor must submit the request for substitute or added personnel in writing to the Contracting Officer at least 7 days (if a security clearance must be obtained, at least NA days) before the proposed date of substitution or addition. The Contractor's request must provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances causing the proposed substitution or addition, a complete resume for the proposed substitute or added personnel, and any additional information required by the Contracting Officer.

(5) The Contracting Officer may terminate the contract if the Contractor has not made suitable, timely, and reasonably forthcoming replacement of personnel who have been reassigned or terminated or otherwise become unavailable to work under the contract or the resulting loss of productive effort would impair the successful completion of the contract. Alternatively, if the Contracting Officer finds the Contractor to be at fault for the condition, then the Contracting Officer may equitably adjust (downward) the contract price or fixed fee to compensate the Government for any delay, loss or damage as a result of the Contractor's action.

(End of Clause)

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)

3.8.2-17 KEY PERSONNEL AND FACILITIES (JUL 2019)

(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 must notify in writing, and receive consent from, the Contracting Officer reasonably in advance of the action and must submit justification (including proposed substitutions) in sufficient detail to permit evaluation of the impact on this contract.

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

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

Three (3) professional engineers that will be members of the SPRP. [ ]

(List key personnel and/or facilities)

(End of clause)

3.13-15 CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA AND INFORMATION (NOV 2016)

(a) In performance of this contract, the contractor and any of its subcontractors, may need access to and use various data and information in the possession of the Government.This data and information may have been obtained under conditions which restrict the Government's right to use and disclose this data and information or which may be adverse to the interests of the Government or other parties if it is disseminated or used in a capacity other than in performance of this contract. Therefore, the contractor and its subcontractors agree to abide by any restrictive use conditions on such data and not to: (1) knowingly disclose such data and information to others without written authorization from the Contracting Officer, unless it is already publically available; or (2) use for any purpose other than the performance of this contract any data or information which bears a restrictive marking or legend which the contractor has gained access to through the performance of this contract, or information that should be marked according to FAA Order 1600.75 "Protecting Sensitive Unclassified Information (SUI)". For the sole purpose of this clause, "information" means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative or visual form.

(b) In the event the work required to be performed under this contract requires access to proprietary data and information of other companies, the contractor must obtain agreement from such other companies for such use unless such data are provided or made available to the contractor by the Government. Two copies of such company-to-company agreements must be furnished promptly to the Contracting Officer for information only. These agreements must prescribe the scope of authorized use and disclosure of the proprietary data and information as well as any other terms and conditions to be agreed upon between the parties thereto. It is agreed by the contractor that any such data or information, whether obtained by the contractor pursuant to the aforesaid agreement or from the Government, must be protected from unauthorized use by or unauthorized disclosure to any individual, corporation, or organization so long as it remains proprietary.

(c) The contractor agrees to conduct formal training to make employees aware of the requirement to maintain confidentiality of data and information as required above. The contractor must obtain from each employee in connection with this contract a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement. This agreement must provide that the employee will not, during employment or anytime thereafter, disclose or use for current or future benefit of any party any of the data (to include any form of Sensitive Unclassified Information (SUI) described in FAA Order 1600.75) or information not publically available received in connection with the work under the contract.

(d) The contractor agrees to hold the Government harmless and indemnify the Government as to any cost/loss resulting from the unauthorized use or disclosure of third party data or software by the contractor, its employees, subcontractors, or agents.

(e) 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.

(f) Except as the Contracting Officer specifically authorizes in writing, upon completion of all work under this contract, the contractor must return all such data and information described above obtained from the Government, including all copies, modifications, adaptations, or combinations thereof, to the Contracting Officer. Data obtained from another company must be disposed of in accordance with the contractor's agreement with that company, or if the agreement makes no provision for disposition, must be returned to that company. The contractor must further certify in writing to the CO that all copies, modifications, adaptations, or combinations of such data or information which cannot reasonably be returned to the Contracting Officer (or to the appropriate company), have been deleted from the contractor's (and any subcontractor's) records and destroyed. The FAA reserves the right to audit the deletion. The FAA must provide notice of the audit 10 calendar days prior to the audit.

(g) These restrictions do not limit the contractor's (or subcontractor's) right to use and disclose any data and information obtained from another source without restriction.

(End of clause)

If Option 1 (CLIN 0002) and Option 2 (CLIN 0003) is exercised, the CO will issue a unilateral signed modification to this contract.

3.1.7-6 DISCLOSURE OF CERTAIN EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIPS (JAN 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. The purpose of this policy is to maintain the highest level of integrity within its workforce and to ensure that the award of procurement contracts is based upon fairness and merit.

(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:

(1) The names of all Subject Individuals who:

(i) participated in preparation of proposals for award; or

(ii) are planned to be used during performance; or

(iii) are used during performance; and

(2) The name of each individual, retained in any capacity by the contractor, who was employed by FAA during the five-year period immediately prior to the date of award; and

(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.

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)

3.2.2.7-1 QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (OCT 2019)

(a) Definition: 'Qualification requirement,' as used in this clause, means a Government requirement for testing or other quality assurance demonstration that must be completed before award.

(b) One or more qualification requirements apply to the supplies or services covered by this contract. For those supplies or services requiring qualification, whether the covered product or service is an end item under this contract or simply a component of an end item, the product, manufacturer, or source must have demonstrated that it meets the standards prescribed for qualification before award of this contract. The product, manufacturer, or source must be qualified at the time of award whether or not the name of the product, manufacturer, or source is actually included on a qualified products list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list. Offerors should contact the agency activity designated below to obtain all requirements that they or their products or services, or their subcontractors or their products or services, must satisfy to become qualified and to arrange for an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to meet the standards specified for qualification.

[Agency Name and Contact] (Agency Name and Contact) [Address] (Address)

(c) If an offeror, manufacturer, source, product or service covered by a qualification requirement has already met the standards specified, the relevant information noted below should be provided.

Offeror's Name ___________________________________________ Manufacturer's Name ___________________________________________ Source's Name ___________________________________________ Item Name ___________________________________________ Service Identification ___________________________________________ Test Number ___________________________________________ (to the extent known) ___________________________________________

(d) Even though a product or service subject to a qualification requirement is not itself an end item under this contract, the product, manufacturer, or source must nevertheless be qualified at the time of award of this contract.

This is necessary whether the Contractor or a subcontractor will ultimately provide the product or service in question. If, after award, the Contracting Officer discovers that an applicable qualification requirement was not in fact met at the time of award, the Contracting Officer may either terminate this contract for default or allow performance to continue if adequate consideration is offered and the action is determined to be otherwise in the Government's best interests.

(e) If an offeror, manufacturer, source, product, or service has met the qualification requirement but is not yet on a qualified products list or qualified vendors list, the offeror must submit evidence of qualification prior to award of this contract. Unless determined to be in the Government's interest, award of this contract must not be delayed to permit an offeror to submit evidence of qualification.

(f) Any change in location or ownership of the plant where a previously qualified product or service was manufactured or performed requires reevaluation of the qualification. Similarly, any change in location or ownership of a previously qualified manufacturer or source requires reevaluation of the qualification. The reevaluation must be accomplished before the date of award.

(End of clause)

3.2.4-5 ALLOWABLE COST AND PAYMENT (OCT 2019)

(a) Invoicing. The Government will make payments to the Contractor when requested as work progresses, but (except for small business concerns) not more often than once every 2 weeks, in amounts determined to be allowable by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) "Contract Cost Principles" in effect on the date of this contract and the terms of this contract (upon request, the Contracting Officer will provide a copy of the FAA Contract Cost Principles). The Contractor may submit to an authorized representative of the Contracting Officer, in such form and reasonable detail as the representative may require, an invoice or voucher supported by a statement of the claimed allowable cost for performing this contract. Any payments for costs under this contract, particularly for costs of Indirect Rates under paragraph (d), must be subject to the provisions of the "Limitation of Costs" clause, or the "Limitation of Funds" clause, if applicable. The Contractor must be responsible to manage and control the allowable cost of performance of the contract, such that payments for any allowable costs, including Indirect Rates under paragraph (d), must not exceed the estimated cost set forth in the schedule, or the funded amount, less an allowance for fee, if the contract is incrementally funded.

(b) Reimbursing costs.

(1) For the purpose of reimbursing allowable costs (except as provided in subparagraph (2) below, with respect to pension, deferred profit sharing, and employee stock ownership plan contributions), the term costs includes only:

(i) Those costs the Contractor has incurred and recorded at the time of the request for reimbursement;

(ii) When the Contractor is not delinquent in paying costs of contract performance in the ordinary course of business, costs incurred, but not necessarily paid for-

(A) Materials issued from the Contractor's inventory and placed in the production process for use on the contract;

(B) Direct labor;

(E) Properly allocable and allowable indirect costs, as shown in the records maintained by the Contractor for purposes of obtaining reimbursement under FAA contracts; and

(iii) The amount of payments that have been paid to the Contractor's subcontractors under similar cost standards.

(2) Contractor contributions to any pension or other post-retirement benefit, profit-sharing or employee stock ownership plan funds that are paid quarterly or more often may be included in indirect costs for payment purposes: Provided, that the Contractor pays the contribution to the fund within 30 days after the close of the period covered. Payments made 31 days or more after the close of a period must not be included until the Contractor actually makes the payment. Accrued costs for such contributions that are paid less often than quarterly must be excluded from indirect costs for payment purposes until the Contractor actually makes the payment.

(3) Notwithstanding the audit and adjustment of invoices or vouchers under paragraph (g) below, allowable indirect costs under this contract must be obtained by applying indirect cost rates established in accordance with paragraph (d) below.

(4) Any statements in specifications or other documents incorporated in this contract by reference designating performance of services or furnishing of materials at the Contractor's expense or at no cost to the Government will be disregarded for purposes of cost-reimbursement under this clause.

(c) Small business concerns. A small business concern may be paid more often than every 2 weeks and may invoice and be paid for recorded costs for items or services purchased directly for the contract, even though the concern has not yet paid for those items or services.

The proposed rates must be based on the Contractor's actual cost experience for that period. The appropriate Government representative and Contractor will establish the final indirect cost rates as promptly as practical after receipt of the Contractor's proposal.

(i) An adequate indirect cost rate proposal must include the following data unless otherwise specified by the cognizant Contracting Officer:

(E) Claimed allocation bases, by element of cost, used to distribute indirect costs.

(F) Facilities capital cost of money factors computation.

(G) Reconciliation of books of account (i.e., General Ledger) and claimed direct costs by major cost elements.

(3) The Contractor and the appropriate Government representative will execute a written understanding setting forth the final indirect cost rates. The understanding will specify (i) the agreed-upon final annual indirect cost rates, (ii) the bases to which the rates apply, (iii) the periods for which the rates apply, (iv) any specific indirect cost items treated as direct costs in the settlement, and (v) the affected contract and/or subcontract, identifying any with advance agreements or special terms and the applicable rates. The understanding will not change any monetary ceiling, contract obligation, or specific cost allowance or disallowance provided for in this contract. The understanding is incorporated into this contract upon execution.

(4) After final annual direct cost rates are established for specific period, the contractor must update the billings on all contracts to reflect the final settled rates and update the schedule of cumulative direct and indirect costs claimed and billed as required by paragraph d(2)(i)(l) of this clause.

(5) Failure by the parties to agree on a final annual indirect cost rate may be the basis of a claim under the "Contract Disputes" clause.

(e) Billing rates. Until final annual indirect cost rates are established for any period, the Government will reimburse the Contractor at billing rates established by the Contracting Officer or by an authorized representative (the cognizant auditor), subject to adjustment when the final rates are established. These billing rates-

(1) Must be the anticipated final rates; and

(2) May be prospectively or retroactively revised by mutual agreement, at either party's request, to prevent substantial overpayment or underpayment.

(f) Quick-close-out procedures. When the Contractor and Contracting Officer agree, the quick-close-out procedures may be used.

(1) Procedures. Settlement of indirect cost rates must apply to this contract, in advance of the determination of final indirect cost rates, if:

(ii) The amount of unsettled indirect cost to be allocated to this contract is not more than $5,000,000 and the cumulative unsettled indirect costs to be allocated to one or more contracts in a single fiscal year do not exceed 15 percent of the estimated, total unsettled indirect costs allocable to cost-type contracts for that fiscal year; and

(iii) Agreement can be reached on a reasonable estimate of allocable dollars.

(2) The settlement must be final for this contract and no adjustment will be made to other contracts for over- or under-recoveries of costs allocated or allocable to this contract.

(3) The settlement will not be considered a binding precedent when establishing the final indirect costs for other contracts.

(4) These procedures may also be used for the settlement of direct and indirect costs for individual task and delivery orders.

(g) Audit. At any time or times before final payment, the Contracting Officer may have the Contractor's invoices or vouchers and statements of cost audited. Any payment may be (1) reduced by amounts found by the Contracting Officer not to constitute allowable costs or (2) adjusted for prior overpayments or underpayments.

(h) Final payment.

(1) The Contractor must submit a completion invoice or voucher, designated as such, promptly upon completion of the work, but no later than 120 days (or longer, as the Contracting Officer may approve in writing) after settlement of final annual indirect rates for all years. Upon approval of that invoice or voucher, and upon the Contractor's compliance with all terms of this contract, the Government will promptly pay any balance of allowable costs and that part of the fee (if any) not previously paid.

(2) The Contractor must pay to the Government any refunds, rebates, credits, or other amounts (including interest, if any) accruing to or received by the Contractor or any assignee under this contract, to the extent that those amounts are properly allocable to costs for which the Contractor has been reimbursed by the Government. Reasonable expenses incurred by the Contractor for securing refunds, rebates, credits, or other amounts will be allowable costs if approved by the Contracting Officer. Before final payment under this contract, the Contractor and each assignee whose assignment is in effect at the time of final payment must execute and deliver-

(i) An assignment to the Government, in form and substance satisfactory to the Contracting Officer, of refunds, rebates, credits, or other amounts (including interest, if any) properly allocable to costs for which the Contractor has been reimbursed by the Government under this contract; and

(A) Specified claims stated in exact amounts, or in estimated amounts when the exact amounts are not known;

(B) Claims (including reasonable incidental expenses) based upon liabilities of the Contractor to third parties arising out of the performance of this contract; provided, that the claims are not known to the Contractor on the date of the execution of the release, and that the Contractor gives notice of the claims in writing to the Contracting Officer within 6 years following the release date or notice of final payment date, whichever is earlier;

and

(C) Claims for reimbursement of costs, including reasonable incidental expenses, incurred by the Contractor under the patent clauses of this contract, excluding, however, any expenses arising from the Contractor's indemnification of the Government against patent liability.
