(End of provision)

FAR 52.229-11, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements—Notice and Representation (Jun 2020)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision— Foreign person means any person other than a United States person.

Specified Federal procurement payment means any payment made pursuant to a contract with a foreign contracting party that is for goods, manufactured or produced, or services provided in a foreign country that is not a party to an international procurement agreement with the United States. For purposes of the prior sentence, a foreign country does not include an outlying area.

United States person as defined in 26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(30) means

(1) A citizen or resident of the United States;

(2) A domestic partnership;

(3) A domestic corporation;

(4) Any estate (other than a foreign estate, within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. 701(a)(31)); and

(5) Any trust if–

(i) A court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust; and

(ii) One or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

(b) Unless exempted, there is a 2 percent tax of the amount of a specified Federal procurement payment on any foreign person receiving such payment. See 26 U.S.C. 5000C and its implementing regulations at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1 through 1.5000C-7.

(c) Exemptions from withholding under this provision are described at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1(d)(5) through (7). The Offeror would claim an exemption from the withholding by using the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available via the internet at www.irs.gov/w14. Any exemption claimed and self-certified on the IRS Form W-14 is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes regarding the imposition and collection of the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax are adjudicated by the IRS as the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax is a tax matter, not a contract issue. The IRS Form W-14 is provided to the acquiring agency rather than to the IRS.

(d) For purposes of withholding under 26 U.S.C. 5000C, the Offeror represents that

(1) It [_] is [_] is not a foreign person; and

(2) If the Offeror indicates "is" in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then the Offeror represents that—I am claiming on the IRS Form W-14 [__] a full exemption, or [__] partial or no exemption [Offeror shall select one] from the excise tax.

(e) If the Offeror represents it is a foreign person in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then—

(1) The clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, will be included in any resulting contract; and

(2) The Offeror shall submit with its offer the IRS Form W-14. If the IRS Form W-14 is not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent of each payment.

(f) If the Offeror selects "is" in paragraph (d)(1) and "partial or no exemption" in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract.

(g) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction. This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations. A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts. For questions relating to the interpretation of the IRS regulations go to https://www.irs.gov/help/tax-law-questions.

G2 LINE ITEM AND CONTRACT/ORDER CLOSEOUT (OCT 2021)

Dormant and/or excess funds consist of funds that are primarily in “expired” or “cancelled” status. Expired funds are no longer available for new obligations, but are available for upward adjustments and payments on prior obligations to include payments on contractor invoices. Cancelled funds are no longer available for upward adjustments to obligations or to pay contractor invoices.

Timely contract closeout of the entire contract/order and of completed individual contract line item number(s) (CLIN) and/or sub line item number(s) (SLIN) is a priority under this contract/order. As such, the Contractor shall submit a final invoice no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the expiration of this contract/order and/or at the expiration of any individual CLIN(s)/SLIN(s) that expire before the final expiration of the contract/order (i.e., end item(s) was scheduled to be delivered or the period of performance (base or option year) was completed), unless the Contractor requests and is granted a written extension by the Contracting Officer. In addition, and concurrent with the submission of the final invoice for a specific CLIN/SLIN or for the contract/order in its entirety, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of the amount of excess funds that can be deobligated from the CLIN/SLIN or contract/order so the deobligation of any excess funds can be completed as soon as possible.

After ninety (90) days from expiration of a CLIN/SLIN, end item delivery, or contract/order in its entirety, unless an extension had been requested and granted by the Contracting Officer in writing, a bilateral contract/order modification to deobligate excess funds and/or closeout the contract/order in its entirety will be forwarded to the Contractor by the Contracting Officer. The modification must be signed and returned to the Contracting Officer within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt . A Contractor’s failure to respond and/or sign the bilateral modification within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt will constitute approval of the terms of the modification and the modification will subsequently be processed unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to deobligate excess funds and/or closeout the contract/order.

For cost reimbursement CLINs/SLINs, contracting officers will use FAR 42.708, Quick-closeout procedures to the maximum extent possible after the contract/order is physically complete. Should the contract/order require audit/review (e.g., audits conducted by the Defense Contract Audit Agency), excess funds/balances from CLIN(s)/SLIN(s) that are not required to satisfy potential adjustments as a result of the review/audit will be removed from the CLIN(s)/SLIN(s) through a bilateral modification. The modification will be forwarded by the Contracting Officer and must be signed by the Contractor and returned within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. A Contractor’s failure to respond within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt will constitute approval of the terms of the modification and the modification will subsequently be processed unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to remove the excess funds/balances on the associated CLINs/SLINs. If the Contractor disagrees with amount for deobligation they will notify the Contracting Officer promptly with the proposed amount and rationale for deobligation.

Communications with the Contractor will be conducted with the identified Point(s) of Contact (POC) identified in G1 of this contract/order. Should a change in POC be required, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer.

G4 SUBMITTING CREDITS TO DISA – WAWF CONTRACTS (DEC 2023)

If the contractor owes DISA money, the following methods shall be used to process the credit. These are the only methods approved for processing credits; checks will not be accepted.

1. Include Credit in Current Invoice in Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF). The contractor may only use this method if the total invoice amount (current charges minus credit amount) is greater than $0.

2. Submit a Stand-alone Credit Invoice in WAWF. The contractor may only use this method if a future WAWF invoice(s) will be submitted, and the total of the future invoice(s) exceeds the credit amount. DISA will offset the payment of the future invoice(s) by the credit amount.

3. Zero Dollar Invoice in WAWF. The contractor may only use this method to move a previously paid amount on a CLIN/ACRN to a different CLIN/ACRN. The $0 invoice in WAWF shall include a credit to the incorrect CLIN/ACRN and a positive amount to the correct CLIN/ACRN. An alternative method to moving a previously paid amount on a CLIN/ACRN to a different CLIN/ACRN is to submit two invoices: one credit invoice for the incorrect CLIN/ACRN and one invoice for the correct CLIN/ACRN.

4. Pay.gov. The contractor may only use this method if none of the above credit methods are feasible. To submit a credit via Pay.gov, the contractor shall complete the form at https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/999077677.

H12 DISA’S CONTRACT TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER VENDOR’S STANDARD COMMERCIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (MAR 2025)

This contract shall not include any terms inconsistent with Federal law. Accordingly, if this contract incorporates, references, or uses a vendor’s commercial terms and conditions including those for a license, lease, or purchase agreement (collectively, a “standard commercial agreement”), then the terms of this contract take precedence over the vendor’s terms and conditions.

(1) Applicability. This contract is between a commercial supplier and the U.S. Government for the acquisition of the supply or service that necessitates a license or other similar legal instrument.

(2) End user. This contract shall bind the Government as end user but shall not operate to bind a Government employee or person acting on behalf of the Government in his or her personal capacity.

(3) Law and disputes. This contract is governed by Federal law.

(i) Any language purporting to subject the U.S. Government to the laws of a U.S. state, U.S. territory, district, or municipality, or foreign nation, except where Federal law expressly provides for the application of such laws, is hereby deleted.

(ii) Any language requiring dispute resolution in a specific forum or venue that is different from that prescribed by applicable Federal law is hereby deleted.

(iii) Any language prescribing a different time period for bringing an action than that prescribed by applicable Federal law in relation to a dispute is hereby deleted.

(4) Continued performance. The vendor shall not unilaterally revoke, terminate, or suspend any rights granted to the Government except as allowed by this contract. If the supplier or licensor believes the ordering activity to be in breach of this contract, it shall pursue its rights under the Contract Disputes Act or other applicable Federal statute while continuing performance as set forth in FAR 52.233-1, Disputes.

(5) Arbitration; equitable or injunctive relief. In the event of a claim or dispute arising under or relating to this contract a binding arbitration shall not be used unless specifically authorized by agency guidance, and equitable or injunctive relief, including the award of attorney fees, costs or interest, may be awarded against the U.S. Government only when explicitly provided by statute (e.g., Prompt Payment Act or Equal Access to Justice Act).

(6) Updating terms.

(i) After award, the contractor may unilaterally revise commercial supplier agreement terms provided the change is not material. A material change is defined as:

(A) Terms that significantly change Government rights or obligations;

(B) Terms that increase Government prices;

(C) Terms that decrease overall level of service; or

(D) Terms that limit any other Government right addressed elsewhere in this contract.

(ii) For revisions that will materially change the terms of the contract, the revised commercial supplier agreement must be incorporated into the contract using a bilateral modification.

(iii) Any license agreement terms or conditions unilaterally revised subsequent to award that are inconsistent with any material term or provision of this contract shall not be enforceable against the Government, and the Government shall not be deemed to have consented to them.

(7) No automatic renewals. The Government does not agree to any automatic renewal provisions because such agreements may violate the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)(B). Any license or service tied to periodic payment is provided under this agreement (e.g., annual software maintenance or annual lease term), and such license or service shall not renew automatically upon expiration of its current term.

(8) Indemnification. Any term or condition requiring the commercial supplier or licensor to defend or indemnify the end user is hereby amended to provide that the U.S. Department of Justice has the sole right to represent the United States in any such action in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 516.

(9) Patent indemnity. The Government does not agree to any term or condition which gives the contractor control over any claims or disputes involving patent or other intellectual property infringement because only the Department of Justice is authorized to represent the U.S. Government pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 516. However, the contractor may be permitted to participate in the defense and settlement of any such claims or disputes unless prohibited by law.

(10) Audits. Any term or condition permitting the commercial supplier or licensor to audit the end user's compliance with this contract is hereby amended as follows:

(i) With respect to any audit regarding use of software or licenses therefor, a contractor may request that the Government conduct a self-audit and provide the contractor with the results, but for security purposes the contractor may not access the Government’s systems.

(ii) Discrepancies found in an audit may result in a charge by the commercial supplier or licensor to the ordering activity. Any resulting invoice must comply with the proper invoicing requirements specified in the underlying Government contract or order.

(iii) This charge, if disputed by the ordering activity, will be resolved through the Disputes clause at FAR 52.233-1; no payment obligation shall arise on the part of the ordering activity until the conclusion of the dispute process.

(iv) Any audit requested by the contractor will be performed at the contractor’s expense, without reimbursement by the Government.

(11) Taxes or surcharges. Any taxes or surcharges which the commercial supplier or licensor seeks to pass along to the Government as end user will be governed by the terms of the underlying Government contract or order and, in any event, must be submitted to the Contracting Officer for a determination of applicability prior to invoicing unless specifically agreed to otherwise in the Government contract.

(12) Non-assignment. This contract may not be assigned, nor may any rights or obligations thereunder be delegated, without the Government's prior approval, except as expressly permitted under the clause at FAR 52.232-23, Assignment of Claims.

(13) Confidential information. If any term or condition includes a confidentiality clause, such clause is hereby amended to state that neither the agreement nor the Federal Supply Schedule contract price list, as applicable, shall be deemed “confidential information.” Issues regarding release of “unit pricing” will be resolved consistent with the Freedom of Information Act. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, the Government may retain any confidential information as required by law, regulation, or its internal document retention procedures for legal, regulatory or compliance purposes; provided, however, that all such retained confidential information will continue to be subject to the confidentiality obligations of this agreement.
