G-216-H004 ORDERS—ALTERNATE I (NAVSEA) (JUL 2024)

(a) General. Orders for supplies or services specified in Section B of the Schedule may be issued by the Contracting Officer at any time during the effective period of this contract. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) below, the Contractor agrees to accept and perform orders issued by the Contracting Officer within the scope of this contract. It is understood and agreed that the Government has no obligation under the terms of this contract to issue any orders, except for any minimum guarantee. Except as otherwise provided in any order, the Contractor shall furnish all materials and services necessary to accomplish the work specified in each order issued hereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between any order and this basic contract, this contract shall take precedence. All requirements of this contract shall be applicable to all orders issued hereunder. Each order shall be considered a separate binding contract as of its effective date. The Contractor shall segregate the costs incurred in the performance of any order issued hereunder from the costs of all other orders issued under this contract.

(b) Orders. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (d) below, the Contractor shall not begin any work on an order until the order is issued by the Contracting Officer. Upon receipt of a proposed order, the Contractor shall promptly submit to the Contracting Officer a proposal for the work specified in the order. The Contractor agrees that it will submit such cost or pricing data as the Contracting Officer may require. Promptly after receipt of the Contractor's proposal and supporting cost or pricing data, if required, the Contractor and the Contracting Officer shall negotiate and agree upon a price and delivery schedule for the work being ordered. The price and delivery schedule, as agreed upon, shall be set forth in the priced order and the order shall be signed by both the Contracting Officer and the Contractor. Upon receipt of the order, the Contractor shall promptly commence work and shall diligently complete it.

(c) Rejection of Unilateral Orders. For supplies and services where the prices are already established in this basic contract, the contractor agrees to provide the supplies or services within the order or contract limitations/maximums set forth in this contract. For unpriced orders, the Contractor may reject any unilateral order if the Contractor determines it cannot feasibly perform the order, or if it does not concur with the maximum ceiling amount. However, each unilateral order shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Contractor unless within fifteen (7) days of issuance of the order the Contractor notifies the Contracting Officer in writing of its rejection of the order.

(d) Undefinitized Orders. Whenever the Contracting Officer determines that urgent demands or requirements prevent the issuance of a definitized order, the Contracting Officer may issue an unpriced order. Such order may be unilateral or bilateral and shall establish a limitation on Government liability, a maximum ceiling amount and a schedule for definitization. Upon request, the Contractor shall submit a maximum ceiling amount proposal before the undefinitized order is issued. The maximum ceiling amount is the maximum price at which the order may be definitized. Except as provided in paragraph (c) above, the Contractor shall commence performance of the order upon receipt. The clause entitled "Contract Definitization" (DFARS 252.2177027) shall be included in any undefinitized order.

G-232-H005 SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING INVOICING (NAVSEA) (JAN 2019)

(a) For other than firm fixed priced contract line-item numbers (CLINs), the Contractor agrees to segregate costs incurred under this contract/task order (TO), as applicable, at the lowest level of performance, either at the sub line-item number (SLIN) or CLIN level, rather than at the total contract/TO level, and to submit invoices reflecting costs incurred at that level. Supporting documentation in Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) for invoices shall include summaries of work charged during the period covered as well as overall cumulative summaries by individual labor categories, rates, and hours (both straight time and overtime) invoiced; as well as, a cost breakdown of other direct costs (ODCs), materials, and travel, by technical instruction (TI), SLIN, or CLIN level. For other than firm fixed price subcontracts, subcontractors are also required to provide labor categories, rates, and hours (both straight time and overtime) invoiced; as well as a cost breakdown of ODCs, materials, and travel invoiced. Supporting documentation may be encrypted before submission to the prime contractor for WAWF invoice submittal. Subcontractors may email encryption code information directly to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Should the subcontractor lack encryption capability, the subcontractor may also email detailed supporting cost information directly to the Contracting Officer and COR; or other method as agreed to by the Contracting Officer.

(b) Contractors submitting payment requests and receiving reports to WAWF using either Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) shall separately send an email notification to the COR and Contracting Officer on the same date they submit the invoice in WAWF.

(a) The policy of this activity is to schedule periods of reduced operations or shutdown during holiday periods. Deliveries will not be accepted on Saturdays, Sundays or Holidays except as specifically requested by the [insert activity name]. All goods or services attempted to be delivered on a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday without specific instructions from the Contracting Officer or his duly appointed representative will be returned to the contractor at the contractor’s expense with no cost or liability to the U.S. Government.

(b) The federal Government observes public Holidays that have been established under 5 U.S.C. 6103. The actual date of observance for each of the holidays, for a specific calendar year, may be obtained from the OPM website at OPM.GOV or by using the following direct link: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/federal-holidays/.

(c) Delayed Opening, Early Dismissal and Closure of Government Facilities. When a Government facility has a delayed opening, is closed or Federal employees are dismissed early (due to severe weather, security threat, security exercise, or a facility related problem) that prevents personnel from working, onsite contractor personnel regularly assigned to work at that facility shall follow the same reporting and/or departure directions given to Government personnel. The contractor shall not direct charge to the contract for such time off but shall follow parent company policies regarding taking leave (administrative or other). Non-essential contractor personnel, who are not required to remain at or report to the facility, shall follow their parent company policy regarding whether they should go/stay home or report to another company facility. Subsequent to an early dismissal, delayed opening, or during periods of inclement weather, onsite contractors should monitor the OPM website as well as radio and television announcements before departing for work to determine if the facility is closed or operating on a delayed arrival basis.

Contractors are responsible for predetermining and disclosing their charging practices for early dismissal, delayed openings, or closings in accordance with the FAR, applicable cost accounting standards, and the company’s established policy and procedures. Contractors shall follow their disclosed charging practices during the contract period of performance and shall not follow any verbal directions to the contrary.
