ontinuation pages for the amendment for the closed request for quotations of Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Financial Support Services to Improve Program Accountability and Oversight Activity 72061720Q00012

USAID/Uganda intends to amend the subject closed request for quotation to respond to the Foreign Assistance Waiver requirements for National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 889.

Effective August 13, 2020, FAR 4.2102(a)(2) implemented the statutory prohibition NDAA 889(a)(1)(B) to enter into contracts that use covered telecommunications equipment or services.

On November 19, 2020, the Direction of National Intelligence provided a new Foreign Assistance Waiver. The Waiver applies through September 30, 2022.

Since the contract resulting from the subject solicitation extends beyond the Foreign Assistance Waiver’s expiration date, the Contracting Officer decided to use a “Condition Subsequent” clause.

The Condition Subsequent will only apply to contracts if the successful contractor submitted an affirmative FAR 52.204-24 representation with their original proposal.

This approach requires the Contractor to submit an updated FAR 52.204-24 Representation no later than March 31, 2022. If the contractor presents an affirmative representation, the contract will expire on September 30, 2022.

The subject request for quotation is closed. This amendment notifies the offerors that USAID/Uganda will insert the clauses below in the resultant contract if the successful offeror submitted an affirmative FAR 52.204-24 Representation.

USAID requests all Offerors who submitted proposals to confirm if the clause’s insertion will lead to proposal changes (technical or cost) and describe in concise terms the nature of the changes.

NOTE. USAID is only seeking information at this time. USAID is not requesting offerors to submit updated proposals.

Submit your response to KampalaUSAIDSolicita@USAID.gov with the email title “RFQ BPA FSS Section 889 Review” no later than February 25, 2021, at 17:00hrs (EST) Washington DC.

H#. FAR Part 4.21 Prohibition on Contracting for Certain Covered Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment (Section 889) (January 2021)

Prescription: Insert the following special contract requirement in all solicitations for supplies for use and services for performance outside the United States.

H#. FAR Part 4.21 Prohibition on Contracting for Certain Covered Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment (Section 889) (January 2021)

[Note to offerors: This language will be added to the award if it is based on the Foreign Assistance waiver. If the apparently successful offeror does not require a waiver, this additional language will be deleted from the award document.]

(a) The award of this contract is based on the Section 889 Foreign Assistance Waiver USAID received from the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), which expires on September 30, 2022.

Accordingly, the Contractor must submit the FAR 52.204-24 Representation Regarding Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment, to the Contracting Officer, as soon as the contractor is no longer using any covered technology but no later than March 31, 2022.

(b) In addition to the disclosure requirements at FAR 52.204–24(e), if the contractor represents that it does use covered telecommunications equipment or services, the Contractor must describe the circumstances (including in-country circumstances) where the Contractor uses covered technology. This must include:

1. identification of whether the covered equipment and/or services are provided by third-party communications service providers, such as the internet, phone, utilities, or others;

2. the specific country(ies) where it is used; and

3. a description of the presence of any other covered technology, whether in any internal systems or elsewhere in the supply chain.

(c) If the contractor continues to use covered technology as of March 31, 2022 and there is no applicable waiver in place, the contract period of performance will end on September 30, 2022, as the Contractor is no longer legally eligible for an award. The Contractor will only be entitled to costs incurred through the period of performance including close-out costs. The contractor is not entitled to settlement costs associated with Termination for Convenience (FAR part 49). Any applicable fee will be adjusted commensurate with work completed as of September 30, 2022.
