SECTION 3 CONTRACT CLAUSES

3.1 ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-4 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS–

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES: TAILORED

PARAGRAPHS

Paragraph (a) is tailored to add the following paragraphs:

(3) Material Inspection and Receiving Report

At the time of each delivery under this contract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government a Material Inspection and Receiving Report (DD Form 250 series or equivalent commercial document), prepared in duplicate (original and one copy). If the Contractor elects to use the DD Form 250, it shall be prepared in accordance with NASA FAR Supplement 1846.6. Note: Equivalent commercial document must contain the same level of detail/specificity as the DD Form 250.

Upon delivery of product to the destination, each copy of the Material Inspection and Receiving Report shall be signed and dated by the receiver. The original shall remain with the Contractor's driver making the delivery, and one copy shall be retained by the receiving destination as proof of delivery.

A legible copy of the applicable Contractor certified weight ticket or pressure/temperature readings shall be attached to each copy of the Material Inspection and Receiving Report submitted for each delivery. The certified weight ticket or pressure/temperature readings shall include the associated shipment number and tanker and/or tube trailer number as cross reference to the Material Inspection and Receiving Report. The foregoing documentation shall be submitted with all invoices.

Contractor shall overprint, in an appropriate space on each Material Inspection and Receiving Report, any applicable tanker/trailer unloading demurrage incurred in accordance with this contract. Such demurrage shall be certified by personnel of the receiving activity who are not in the employ of the Contractor. At the Government's option, and when available, Government personnel may be required to certify demurrage charges.

(4) Certificate of Conformance

A certificate of conformance shall accompany each delivery to verify product quality in accordance with the contract performance specification to include proper documentation and laboratory analysis from point of origin.

The Contractor's Designated Representative shall sign and date the certificate of conformance. Attach the certificate or enter it on the copy of the DD Form 250, or equivalent commercial document.

The certificate of conformance should be prepared as follows:

I certify that on [date], [Contractor’s name] furnished the supplies called for by Contract No. via [Carrier company name] on [identify the bill of lading or shipping document number] in accordance with all applicable requirements of the contract.

I further certify that the supplies are of the quality specified and conform in all respects with the contract requirements, including specifications, and physical item identification, and are in the quantity shown on this or on the attached acceptance document.

Contractor Designated Representative Signature: Date:

Title:

(5) Determination of Billing

The delivered product price per unit includes all product and transportation costs for the quantities delivered and accepted. The unit price shall be F.O.B. destination.

Liquid helium: Determining the quantity of product delivered for billing purposes shall be accomplished in accordance with the following procedures: Scales used in determining weights as required by these procedures shall be certified and must meet all specifications and user requirements and tolerance as stated in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44. The maximum error will not exceed plus or minus two-tenths of 1 percent of the load being weighed. Such scales will be calibrated yearly, and records of this calibration will be maintained for a minimum of one year and made available to the Contracting Officer or their designated representative upon request.

Bulk liquid helium tankers: The scales at the Contractor fill location will be the preferred scales for determining tanker weights. In the event the Contractor’s scales are out of operation or otherwise unavailable, an alternate scale can be used after approval by the Contracting Officer.

The weight of the delivered and returned helium will be determined as follows:

For delivered helium: The tankers liquid nitrogen shields shall be filled prior to weighing the full tanker for delivery. The empty weight of the tanker with full nitrogen shields will be subtracted from the full shipped tanker weight with full nitrogen shields. The resulting weight will be the net amount of the delivered helium, for which the Government will pay. The following conversion factors will be applied to convert the weight to liters:

1 Pound = 3.631 Liters = 0.9590 Gallon = 96.72 Standard Cubic Feet

0.2754 Pound = 1 Liter = 0.2642 Gallon = 26.63 Standard Cubic Feet

1.042 Pounds = 3.785 Liters = 1 Gallon = 100.82 Standard Cubic Feet

For returned helium: When the delivery is completed and the tanker is returned to the Contractor, the returned tanker’s liquid nitrogen shields shall be filled prior to weighing the tanker. The empty weight of the tanker with full nitrogen shields will be subtracted from the returned tanker weight with full nitrogen shields. The resulting weight will be the weight of the returned helium, for which the Government will receive full credit. Conversion factors as cited above will be applied to convert the weight to liters.

A copy of the Contractor certified weight ticket(s), with shipment number and trailer/container number affixed, will accompany the Material Inspection and Receiving Report for payment.

Liquid helium dewars: The scales at the Contractor fill location will be the preferred scales for determining the weight of liquid helium delivered in dewars. In the event the Contractor’s scales are out of operation or otherwise unavailable, an alternate scale can be used after approval by the Contracting Officer. The tare weight of the dewar will be subtracted from the gross weight and the resulting figure will be net amount for which the Government will pay. A copy of the Contractor certified weight ticket(s), with shipment number and trailer/container number affixed, will accompany the Material Inspection and Receiving Report for payment.

Gaseous helium: The Contractor shall utilize Bureau of Mines Information Circular 8367, “Computing Volume of Helium in Cylindrical Steel Containers at 10 to 10,000 PSIA of April 1997” to determine the amount of helium supplied. The Contractor’s utilization of a computerized measurement system utilizing calculations based on the Bureau of Mines Information Circular 8367 will be considered acceptable. The Government will receive full credit on returned bulk gaseous helium.

Alternate method: The Contractor may utilize a method of product measurement, other than those set forth above, provided it is first approved and authorized in writing by the KSC Agency-wide Contracting Officer.

(6) Quality Assurance, Inspection and Acceptance

Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, in-process inspection, end-item inspection, and test verification shall be performed by the Contractor at the Contractor's facilities, to ensure compliance with the contract requirements. The Government may perform periodic inspections or audits at the Contractor’s facilities to verify, inspect, and ensure that supplies meet the contract requirements, including calibrations, process control monitoring, drawings, and specifications.

Any delivery location will have the option to sample helium being delivered and analyze it for impurities prior to off-loading the transport vehicle or container. Such sampling shall be subject to demurrage charges, as applicable in accordance with this contract. If the sample does not meet specification requirements, the load will not be accepted and will be returned to the Contractor's facility for disposition. In case of non-acceptance, no product, transportation, demurrage, or any other costs will be charged to, or be paid by the Government.

The Contractor shall maintain records of inspections and tests performed on the items of this contract. All records and tests shall be traceable to the helium delivered and shall include applicable tanker/trailer number, serial number, lot number, or any other acceptable method of identification. These records shall be made available to the Government, upon request, during the performance of this contract.

The Contractor shall develop and maintain documentation of a quality control program, including but not limited to: Plant operating procedures (as they relate to quality provisions); handling procedures; loading and off-loading of shipping conveyances;

storage; analytical instruments and scale calibrations; sampling; and analysis.

Operating plans or procedures shall be submitted to the Government upon request.

Final inspection and acceptance shall be accomplished at the receiving destination.

Acceptance shall occur upon signoff by the receiving destination on the appropriate material inspection and receiving report.

All applicable requirements that are invoked or applied to the customer’s purchasing document, including this clause, shall be flowed down to the organization’s sub-tier suppliers.

Paragraph (g) is tailored to add the following paragraphs:

(3) The Contractor shall submit all vouchers and invoices using the steps described at NSSC’s Vendor Payment information web site at:

https://www.nssc.nasa.gov/vendorpayment. Please contact the NSSC Customer

Contact Center at 1-877-NSSC123 (1-877-677-2123) with any additional questions or comments.

(4) Improper invoices. The NSSC Payment Office will notify the Contractor of any apparent error, defect, or impropriety in vouchers/invoices within seven calendar days of receipt by the NSSC Payment Office. Inquiries regarding requests for payment should be directed to the NSSC as specified in paragraph (3) of this Section.

(5) In the event that amounts are withheld from payment in accordance with provisions of this award, a separate payment request for the amount withheld will be required before payment for that amount may be made.

Paragraph (m) is tailored to add the following paragraphs:

(a) In the event the Contractor is unable to meet its delivery obligations from the specified sources, the Contractor may supply the deficient quantities from other sources at the price agreed to in Section 2.2 of this contract.

(b) If such deficient quantities are not so supplied, the Government may acquire helium from other sources to the level of the quantities deficient, and the Contractor shall pay the Government the difference between the delivered price from such other source and the applicable delivered price under Section 2.2 of this contract. In this situation, the Government will pay the full price for the spot delivery and may short pay the Contractor, on the next applicable invoice, an amount equal to the difference between the Contractor’s normal price to the Government, and the price the Government paid for the spot delivery.

(c) In the event the Contractor continues to fail to deliver, correct deficiencies, or comply with contract terms and conditions, the Government may invoke its right to terminate for cause.

Paragraph (o) is replaced as follows:

(o) Warranty.

The items delivered hereunder will meet the specifications defined in Section 2.6, Performance Specification. The Government may reject any item which does not meet the specifications and no charge will be made for the item so rejected. No claim of any kind with respect to the conformance of items to the foregoing specifications, whether or not based on negligence, warranty, strict liability, or any other theory of law, will be greater than the price of the quantity of nonconforming item(s) in respect to which such claim is made. The foregoing constitutes the Government’s exclusive remedy and the Contractor’s sole obligation with respect to any such claim for not meeting the specifications. “There are no express warranties by Contractor other than those specified in this section 52.212-4 (o). No warranties by Contractor (other than warranty of title as provided in the uniform commercial code) will be implied or otherwise created under the uniform commercial code including warranty of merchantability and warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.” This limited remedies section for failure to meet the expressed warranty stated herein shall have no application to or impact on the Government’s remedies under paragraph (m) Termination for cause of this section.
