1.8 NFS 1852.232-77 Limitation of Funds (Fixed-Price Contract) (Mar 1989)
(a) Of the total price of TOs 1 through TBD, the sum of $TBD is presently available for payment and allotted to this contract. It is anticipated that from time to time additional funds will be allocated to the contract in accordance with the following schedule, until the total price of said items is allotted:
SCHEDULE FOR ALLOTMENT OF FUNDS
Date Amounts
TBD TBD
Note: All “TBD”s will be filled out by the Government after award.
(b) The Contractor agrees to perform or have performed work on the items specified in paragraph (a) of this clause up to the point at which, if this contract is terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause would, in the exercise of reasonable judgment by the Contractor, approximate the total amount at the time allotted to the contract. The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance of the work beyond that point. The Government is not obligated in any event to pay or reimburse the Contractor more than the amount from time to time allotted to the contract, anything to the contrary in the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause notwithstanding.
(c) (1) It is contemplated that funds presently allotted to this contract will cover the work to be performed until TBD.
(2) If funds allotted are considered by the Contractor to be inadequate to cover the work to be performed until that date, or an agreed date substituted for it, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing when within the next 60 days the work will reach a point at which, if the contract is terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the
Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause will approximate 75 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract.
(3) (i) The notice shall state the estimate when the point referred to in paragraph (c)(2) of this clause will be reached and the estimated amount of additional funds required to continue performance to the date specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, or an agreed date substituted for it.
(ii)The Contractor shall, 60 days in advance of the date specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, or an agreed date substituted for it, advise the Contracting Officer in writing as to the estimated amount of additional funds required for the timely performance of the contract for a further period as may be specified in the contract or otherwise agreed to by the parties.
(4) If, after the notification referred to in paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this clause, additional funds are not allotted by the date specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, or an agreed date substituted for it, the Contracting Officer shall, upon the Contractor's written request, 1-5 terminate this contract on that date or on the date set forth in the request, whichever is later, pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause.
(d) When additional funds are allotted from time to time for continued performance of the work under this contract, the parties shall agree on the applicable period of contract performance to be covered by these funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this clause shall apply to these additional allotted funds and the substituted date pertaining to them, and the contract shall be modified accordingly.
(e) If, solely by reason of the Government's failure to allot additional funds in amounts sufficient for the timely performance of this contract, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract, and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the items to be delivered, or in the time of delivery, or both.
(f) The Government may at any time before 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 shall in no way be deemed to limit the rights of the Government under the default clause of this contract. The provisions of this
Limitation of Funds clause are limited to the work on and allotment of funds for the items set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause. This clause shall become inoperative upon the allotment of funds for the total price of said work except for rights and obligations then existing under this clause.
(h) Nothing in this clause shall affect the right of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract.

The
Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to the Contracting Officer of the cessation of such occurrence.

(h) Patent indemnity. The Contractor shall indemnify the Government and its officers, employees and agents against liability, including costs, for actual or alleged direct or contributory infringement of, or inducement to infringe, any United States or foreign patent, trademark or copyright, arising out of the performance of this contract, provided the Contractor is reasonably notified of such claims and proceedings.

(1) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract 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.
(2)
(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

Contractor shall 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 Subpart 42.12 of the FAR;
(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible
Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(EFT) clause of this contract.
(3) The Contractor shall 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 (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims).

(u) Unauthorized Obligations.
(1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End Use License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-
Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:
(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.
(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.
(iii)Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.
(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

Employees/Representatives of Foreign Contractors (May 2013)
(a) An employee of a domestic Johnson Space Center (JSC) Contractor or its subcontractor who is not a U.S. citizen (foreign national) may not be admitted to the JSC site for purposes of performing work without special arrangements. In addition, all employees or representatives of a foreign JSC Contractor/subcontractor may not be admitted to the JSC site without special arrangements. For employees as described above, advance notice must be given to the Security Office of the host installation [JSC or White Sands Test
Facility (WSTF)] at least three weeks prior to the scheduled need for access to the site so that instructions on obtaining access may be provided. Contractors should be aware that approval for access to the site and issuance of a badge may take much longer than three weeks and sufficient lead time must be allowed to accommodate the approval process.
(b) All visit/badge requests for persons described in (a) above must be entered Identity
Management and Account Exchange (IdMAX) for acceptance, review, concurrence, and approval purposes. When an authorized company official requests a JSC or WSTF badge for site access, he/she is certifying that steps have been taken to ensure that its Contractor or subcontractor employees, visitors, or representatives will not be given access to export-controlled or classified information for which they are not authorized. These individuals shall serve as the Contractor’s representative(s) in certifying that all visit/badge request forms are processed in accordance with JSC and WSTF security and export control procedures. No foreign national, representative, or resident alien
Contractor/subcontractor employee shall be granted access into JSC or WSTF until approved and processed through the IdMAX. Unescorted access will not be granted unless a favorable National Agency Check (NAC) has been completed by the JSC
Security Office, and an approved NASA Foreign National Visitor Security/Technology
Control Plan (STTCP), (previously called the Access Control Plan) has been submitted and approved.
(c) The Contractor agrees that it will not employ for the performance of work onsite at JSC or WSTF any individuals who are not legally authorized to work in the United States. If the JSC International Visits Coordinator or the contracting officer has reason to believe that any employee of the Contractor may not be legally authorized to work in the United
States and/or on the contract, the Contractor may be required to furnish copies of Form I-
9 (Employment Eligibility Verification), U.S. Department of Labor Application for Alien
Employment Certification, and any other type of employment authorization document.
The Contractor agrees to provide the information requested by JSC or WSTF Security
Office in order to comply with NASA policy directives and guidelines related to foreign
2-11 visits to NASA facilities so that (1) the visitor/employee/ representative may be allowed access to JSC or other NASA centers for performance of this contract, (2) required investigations can be conducted, and (3) required annual or revalidation reports can be submitted to NASA Headquarters. All requested information must be submitted in a timely manner in accordance with instructions provided by JSC or any other center to be visited.

For on-site issues, JSC's Environmental Office will be the single point of contact with Federal and state regulatory agencies and their representatives unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer or the Environmental Office. The
Contractor shall immediately notify the JSC Environmental Office when contacted by external regulatory agency representatives and shall cooperate fully. The Contractor shall complete, maintain, and make available to the Contracting Officer, JSC Environmental
Office, JSC Energy Manager, or regulatory agency personnel all documentation relating to environmental compliance matters under applicable laws. The Contractor shall immediately notify the JSC Environmental Office upon issuance of a Notice of Violation or noncompliance to the Contractor.
