Attachment 1 - FAR 52.212-5 Terms and Conditions Animal Shipping Boxes.pdf

This document is a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause template titled "52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive Orders—Commercial Products and Commercial Services" (March 2026 version).

The clause is a mandatory incorporation mechanism for commercial products and commercial services contracts. It requires contractors to comply with multiple federal statutes and executive orders through referenced FAR clauses organized into four compliance sections. Section (a) contains seven mandatory FAR clauses addressing internal confidentiality agreements, Kaspersky Lab prohibitions, telecommunications and video surveillance restrictions, inverted domestic corporations, small business subcontractor payments, protest procedures, and breach of contract claims. Section (b) lists thirteen additional clauses that the contracting officer must selectively incorporate based on specific contract requirements, including restrictions on subcontractor sales, contractor ethics, whistleblower protections, executive compensation reporting, service contract labor standards, small business utilization, equal opportunity requirements, and various prohibitions on foreign procurement and security concerns. Section (c) identifies ten labor-related clauses applicable only to commercial services contracts. Section (d) requires comptroller general examination access to contractor records for non-sealed bid contracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, with mandatory record retention for three years after final payment. Section (e) significantly limits flow-down requirements to subcontractors for commercial products and services, requiring only specific clauses identified in paragraph (e)(1) to be included in lower-tier subcontracts, thereby streamlining subcontracting compliance obligations. The clause includes two alternates addressing different audit and examination authorities and provides guidance on optional additional clauses contractors may include in subcontracts.
