1052.232-39 UNENFORCEABILITY OF UNAUTHORIZED OBLIGATIONS. (April 2018) (DEVIATION 00002)

(a) Definition. As used in this clause-

"Commercial supplier agreements" means terms and conditions customarily offered to the public by vendors of supplies or services that meet the definition of commercial item set forth in FAR 2.101 and intended to create a binding legal obligation on the end user. Commercial supplier agreements (CSA) are particularly common in information technology acquisitions, including acquisitions of commercial computer software and commercial technical data, but they may apply to any supply or service. The term applies-https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/doing-business-with-fiscal-service/

(1) Regardless of the format or style of the document. For example, a CSA may be styled as standard terms of sale or lease, Terms of Service (TOS), End User License Agreement (EULA), or another similar legal instrument or agreement, and may be presented as part of an offer or quotation responding to a solicitation;

(2) Regardless of the media or delivery mechanism used. For example, a CSA may be presented as one or more paper documents or may appear on a computer or other electronic device screen during a purchase, software installation, other product delivery, registration for a service, or another transaction.

(b) Except as stated in paragraph (c) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any CSA, that includes any language, provision, or clause requiring the Government to pay any future fees, penalties, interest, legal costs or to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(1) Any such language, provision, or clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(2) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the CSA. If the CSA is invoked through an "I agree" click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., "click-wrap" or "browse-wrap" agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(3) Any such language, provision, or clause is deemed to be stricken from the CSA.

(c) Paragraph (b) of this clause does not apply to indemnification or any other payment by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

1052.232-7003 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF PAYMENT REQUESTS (APR 2015)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

(1) “Payment request” means a bill, voucher, invoice, or request for contract financing payment with associated supporting documentation. The payment request must comply with the requirements identified in FAR 32.905(b), "Content of Invoices" and the applicable Payment clause included in this contract.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this clause, the Contractor shall submit payment requests electronically using the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). Information regarding IPP, including IPP Customer Support is available at www.ipp.gov or any successor site.

(c) The Contractor may submit payment requests using other than IPP only when the Contracting Officer authorizes alternate procedures in writing in accordance with Treasury procedures.

(d) If alternate payment procedures are authorized, the Contractor shall include a copy of the Contracting

Officer’s written authorization with each payment request.

OVERPAYMENTS

In accordance with 52.212-4 section (i) 5 Overpayments: Accounts Receivable Conversion of Check Payments to electronic funds transfer (EFT): If the Contractor sends the Government a check to remedy duplicate contract financing or an overpayment by the government, it will be converted into an EFT. This means the Government http://www.ipp.gov/ https://arc.fiscal.treasury.gov/ipp/fsippqrg.htm mailto:AccountsPayable@fiscal.treasury.gov will copy the check and use the account information on it to electronically debit the Contractor's account for the amount of the check. The debit from the Contractor's account will usually occur within 24 hours and will be shown on the regular account statement.

The Contractor will not receive the original check back. The Government shall destroy the Contractor's original check, but will keep a copy of it. If the EFT cannot be processed for technical reasons, the Contractor authorizes the Government to process the copy in place of the original check.

MARKING OF SHIPMENTS

The Contractor shall ensure the contract number is clearly visible on all shipping/service documents, containers, and invoices.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Denture Laboratory Services

1. BACKGROUND. The United States Congress established the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) as a separate federal agency in 1991 when it enacted the Defense Authorization Act, Public Law 101-510. AFRH is the only Federal Agency that does not receive tax payer funds for every day operation. The Agency’s source of income flows from the enlist men and women of the Armed Forces of the United States through a small payroll deduction and forfeitures. In addition to the contributions from enlisted personnel, AFRH enjoys donations from generous individuals and the interest income from a trust fund started in 1851 for the Forefather to AFRH, the United States Soldiers Home. While the total number of residents varies from month-to-month, AFRH provides a home for approximately 442 former enlisted personnel in their retirement years at both the Gulfport and Washington campuses. This Home provides retired veterans with the common daily living needs such as:

private rooms, bank, chapel, convenience store, mail room, laundry facilities, barber/beauty shop, dining facility, and a 24-hour security and staff presence. In addition to these common needs, AFRH offers social, recreational, and occupational activities for many interest. While residents live in this community, AFRH provides for their overall health care needs in a high-quality manner; including on site primary care, medical care, and a continuum of long-term care services as residents change from independent living. Our residents found it to be an honor to serve our country. AFRH finds it to be an honor to serve them now.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES. The Contractor shall provide denture laboratory services to the residents of the AFRH in Gulfport, Mississippi. The Contractor is required to abide by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and the Joint Commission (JC).
