Clause 3.3.1-33 has been updated in the AMS with an Effective Date of 1/8/2024 and is incorporated as follows:
3.3.1-33 SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (JAN 2024)
(a) Definitions. As used in this clause
"Registered in the SAM database" means that the Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the Unique Identity Identifier (UEI) or the Electronic Funds Transfer indicator, 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.
"Unique Entity Identifier (UEI)" (also known as the Unique Entity ID) means a number or other identifier used to identify a specific commercial, nonprofit, or Government entity. See www.sam.gov for the designated entity for establishing unique entity identifiers.
"Electronic Funds Transfer indicator" means a 4-character suffix to the Unique Entity Identifier. 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.
(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 UEI or EFT indicator that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The UEI 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 UEI, it should contact www.sam.gov directly to obtain one.
The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:
(1) Company legal business name.
(2) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.
(3) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code.
(4) Company Mailing Address, City, State and ZIP Code (if different from physical street address).
(5) Company Telephone Number.
(6) Date the company was started.
(7) Number of employees at your location.
(8) Chief executive officer/key manager.
(9) Line of business (industry).
(10) 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 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 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 certified as an SDVOSB under the Small Business Administration's Veteran Small Business Certification Program (VetCert).
(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)
Clause 3.6.4-3 has been updated in the AMS with an Effective Date of 1/8/2024 and is incorporated as follows:
3.6.4-3 BUY AMERICAN ACT - CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (JAN 2024)
(a)Definitions
(1)"Construction material" means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.
(2)"Cost of components" means-
(i) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or
(ii) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (i) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.
(3) "Domestic Construction Material" means---
(i) For construction material that does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both-
(A) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States; or
(B) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if-
(aa)The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 60 percent of the cost of all its components, except that the percentage will be 65 percent for items delivered in calendar years 2024 through 2028 and 75 percent for items delivered starting in calendar year 2029.
Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic.
Components of unknown origin are treated as foreign; or
(bb) The construction material is a COTS item, or
(ii) For construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, a construction material manufactured in the United States if the cost of foreign iron and steel constitutes less than 5 percent of the cost of all components used in such construction material. The cost of foreign iron and steel includes but is not limited to the cost of foreign iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the construction material and a good faith estimate of the cost of all foreign iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners. Iron or steel components of unknown origin are treated as foreign. If the construction material contains multiple components, the cost of all the materials used in such construction material is calculated in accordance with the definition of "cost of components".
(4) "Fastener" means a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together.
Examples of fasteners are nuts, bolts, pins, rivets, nails, clips, and screws.
(5) "Foreign construction material" means construction material other than domestic construction material.
(6) "Foreign iron or steel" means iron or steel products not produced in the United States. Produced in the United States means that all manufacturing processes of the iron or steel must take place in the United States, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, except metallurgical processes involving refinement of steel additives. The origin of the elements of the iron or steel is not relevant to the determination of whether it is domestic or foreign.
(7) "Predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both" means that the cost of the iron and steel content exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The cost of iron and steel is the cost of the iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the product and a good faith estimate of the cost of iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners.
(8) "Steel" means an alloy that includes at least 50 percent iron, between 0.02 and 2 percent carbon, and may include other elements.
(b) Domestic Preference
(1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C.83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the domestic content test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item, except that for construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, the domestic content test is applied only to the iron and steel content of the construction materials, excluding COTS fasteners. The Contractor must use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.
(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial product or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows:
Established in Task Order/Delivery Order
(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that -
(i)The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable.
(A)The cost of particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American Statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 20 percent.
(B) For construction material that is not a COTS item and does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, if the cost of a particular domestic construction material is determined to be unreasonable or there is no domestic offer received, and the low offer is for foreign construction material that is manufactured in the United States and does not exceed 55 percent domestic content, the Contracting Officer will treat the lowest offer of foreign construction material that exceeds 55 percent domestic content as a domestic offer and determine whether the cost of that offer is unreasonable by applying the evaluation factor listed in paragraph (b)(3)(i)(A) of this clause.
(C) The procedures in paragraph (b)(3)(i)(B) of the clause will no longer apply as of January 1, 2030.
(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American statute to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or
(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.
(c) Request for Determination of Inapplicability of the Buy American Statute
(1)Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b) (3) of this clause must include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including-
(i) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;
(ii) Unit of measure;
(iii) Quantity;
(iv) Price;
(v) Time of delivery or availability;
(vi) Location of the construction project;
(vii) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and
(viii) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.
(2) A request based on unreasonable cost must include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.
(3) The price of construction material must include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).
(4) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award must explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.
(5) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American statute applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.
(6) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American statute applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American statute.
(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor must include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC MATERIAL PRICE COMPARISON
Construction Material Description Unit of Measure Quantity Price (dollars)*
Foreign construction material [ ] [ ] [ ] Item 1:
Domestic Construction material [ ] [ ] [ ] Foreign construction material [ ] [ ] [ ]
Item 2:

(List name, address, phone number, and contact for supplier surveyed. Attach copy of response, if oral, attach summary)
*Include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued).
(e)Non-Availability Determination Waiver Approvals - In accordance with AMS Guidance T3.6.4A.4.c (3) (b), if the construction material is not being mined, produced, or manufactured in the U.S. in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities or of a satisfactory quality, the use of the proposed foreign construction material must also be approved by the FAA Acquisition Executive (FAE) and reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Made in America Office (MIAO). If a contractor is requesting a determination on this basis, the following additional information must be submitted in support of such a request:
(1) Country(ies) of origin and U.S. content (if any), of foreign end item or materials intended for purchase, if known;
(2) The estimated value of the procurement (or portion of the procurement) covered by the waiver; and
(3) As part of the justification provided under (c) (1) (viii) above, fully describe the market research activities and methods used to identify domestically manufactured items or materials capable of satisfying the requirement, including the timing of the research and conclusions reached on the availability of sources . This must include a description of all efforts at competition for the items or materials, how long the requirement was open for competition, and identification of any potential domestic sources that did not compete along with the reason why (if known).

The FAA shall have the authority to restrict or deny unescorted access into FAA facilities to anyone. The FAA shall also have the authority to determine the number of PIV cards to be issued to contractor employees, based on operational necessity.
Individuals requiring non-routine access for maintenance purposes shall be escorted by FAA personnel and be issued appropriate FAA visitor badges. Prior to or upon completion or termination of the work under the contract, the contractor must return all such Government property and SUI to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).
3. Improper use, possession or alteration of Government property is subject to penalties under Title 18, USC 499, 506, 701, and 1030.
4. In the event such Government property is lost, stolen, or not returned, the contractor understands and agrees that the Government may, in addition to any other withholding provision of the contract, withhold the value of the asset for each item of Government property not returned. If the Government property, to include FAA issued ID cards, or SUI is not returned within 30-calendar-days from the date the withholding action was initiated, any amount so withheld is forfeited by the contractor. Any portable devices that are lost, stolen, or not returned must be reported by the contractor within one (1) hour to the FAA Security Operations Center (phone 1(866)-580-1852(Option 1) or email 9-AWA-SOC@faa.gov).

Lost or stolen Government property or SUI must immediately be reported concurrently to the Contracting Officer (CO), COR, and the FAA SOC at the telephone number and email address listed under section (3) above.
8. Each contractor employee, during all times of on-site performance at an FAA facility, must prominently display his/her current and valid FAA Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card, or other FAA issued ID card, on the front portion of his/her body between the neck and waist. Each FAA ID cardholder must not affix pins, stickers, or other item to the card.

The contractor must contact AXP to obtain the procedures for obtaining their FAA PIV Card.
12. Off-Boarding. The contractor is responsible for ensuring final off-boarding is accomplished for all departing contractor employees. This includes termination, resignation, retirement, death, change of employment status (i.e., transferring from a contractor to a FAA employee), transfer to another FAA contract, and (with CO approval) extended leave of absence. The contractor may appoint an off-boarding coordinator to oversee the off-boarding process.
a. For each departing employee having access to FAA facilities and/or Information Technology (IT) systems, the contractor must submit a completely filled out and signed "FAA Contractor Employee Off- Boarding Form" (located in FAA Procurement Forms) to the CO no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the employee's departure. The contractor must ensure that the Form confirms that all applicable Government property (including FAA-issued ID cards) and sensitive information (including Classified National Security Information (CNSI)) has been collected and access to all FAA assets has been terminated.
b. When the contractor is not located or within local driving distance of the responsible AXP office, the Contractor must collect the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Card or other FAA-issued ID card, and any other tokens and provide to the CO or COR within one (1) business day of receiving the card/tokens from the departing employee.
