Although not anticipated, base support may be provided by the Government to the Contractor in accordance with this SOW.

a. The Contractor will require use of base support on a rent-free, non-interference basis to include Government-controlled working space, material, equipment, services (including automatic data processing), or other support (excluding use of the Defense Switched Network (DSN)) which the Government determines can be made available at, or through, any Air Force installation where this contract shall be performed.

b. Unless otherwise stipulated in the contract schedule, the Contractor will use base support on a no-charge-for-use basis and the value shall be a part of the Government’s contract consideration.

c. The Contractor will immediately report (with a copy to the cognizant contract administration office (CAO)) inadequacies, defective base support, or nonavailability of support stipulated by the contract schedule, together with a recommended plan for obtaining the required support. Facilities are not to be purchased under this contract by the Contractor. Additionally, the Contractor (or authorized representative) will not purchase or otherwise furnish any base support requirement provided by the SOW/PWS (or authorize others to do so), without prior written approval of the Contracting Officer regarding the price, terms, and conditions of the proposed purchase, or approval of other arrangements.

d. Written authorization must be requested from the Contracting Officer for support not later than 90 days before the required in-place dates at each Air Force installation, and immediately for any required changes. Ensure the facilities are available and concurrence for their use has been obtained from the cognizant Contracting Officer before finalizing contract negotiations and/or source selection. In competitive acquisitions, the request for proposal/request for quote (RFP/RFQ) should request the Offeror propose a cost in the event that the facilities are not available. This is necessary in order to make a valid comparison of all Offerors’ proposals.

e. The base support to be furnished under this contract is TBD per Award, if applicable. Because of the nature and location(s) of the work performed, the value of such support is undeterminable. The Contractor is not authorized to incur any costs resulting from nonsupport prior to Contracting Officer direction.

f. In the performance of this contract or any major subcontract, no direct or indirect costs for support will be incurred if the Government determines that support is available at or through any Air Force installation where this contract shall be performed (TBD per Award, if applicable and resulting award is Cost Reimbursable).

For the purpose of base and network access, possession of a permanent resident card (“Green Card”) does not equate to U.S. citizenship. This requirement does not apply to foreign nationals approved by the U.S. Department of Defense or U.S. Department of State under international personnel exchange agreements with foreign governments. It also does not apply to dual citizens who possess U.S. citizenship, to include Naturalized citizens. Any waivers to this requirement must be granted in writing by the Contracting Officer prior to providing access. Specific format for a waiver request will be provided upon request to the Contracting Officer. The above requirements are in addition to any other contract requirements related to obtaining a Common Access Card (CAC).

b. For purposes of paragraph a above, if an IT network/system does not require AFRL to endorse a Contractor’s application to said network/system in order to gain access, the organization operating the IT network/system is responsible for controlling access to its system. If an IT network/system requires a U.S. Government sponsor to endorse the application in order for access to the IT network/system, AFRL will only endorse the following types of applications, consistent with the requirements above:

i. Contractor employees who are U.S. citizens performing work under this contract.

Any additional access restrictions established by the IT network/system owner apply.
