BASE SUPPORT AGREEMENT

1. Base support will be provided by the Government to the contractor in accordance with the provisions of this agreement. Failure by the contractor to comply with the provisions of this agreement will release the Government, without prejudice, from its obligation to provide base support by the dates required. If warranted and the contractor has complied with the provisions of this agreement, an equitable adjustment will be made if the Government fails to provide base support allowed by law by the dates required. Support Agreements will follow the guidance and intent of AFI 25-201.

A. Base support includes Government-controlled working space, furniture, material, equipment, services, or other support, which the Government determines, can be made available at, or through, any Air Force (AF) installation where this contract will be performed. This base support agreement is intended to provide the contractor with facilities services, certain military unique supplies and support resulting from being a tenant of the base. Standard administrative and other expendable supplies required to fulfill contractual obligations are the responsibility of the contractor. All Government Furnished Property (GFP) in the possession of the contractor, provided through the base support agreement, will be used and managed in accordance with the GFP clause of this contract.

B. The contractor agrees to immediately report any defective GFP or any inadequate support not identified in the contract to the Project Officer / Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) / Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) (with a copy to the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO)), Also, submit a recommended plan for obtaining the required support. The Government agrees to determine (within 10 workdays) the validity and extent of the involved requirement and the method by which it will be fulfilled (e.g., purchase, rental, lease, GFP, etc.). Facilities will not be purchased under this agreement. The contractor (or authorized representative) will not purchase or otherwise furnish any base support requirements provided by this agreement, or authorize others to do so without the Contracting Officer’s (CO) prior written approval regarding price, terms and conditions of the proposed purchase, or approval of other arrangements.

C. Base support will be provided at the following installation(s):

D. The Government (host base) will provide a base orientation packet to contractor employees that describe/address base regulations, restrictions, and services that are available to them. The packet will include the procedures outlined in this plan and any other concerns the base deems necessary.

2. The contractor will inspect and identify any support requirements to the Air Force (AF) by official correspondence. The contractor will set up face-to-face meetings with the program office and the receiving unit to clarify requirements, including responsibilities, equipment, supplies and personnel. Typical questions to be resolved include:

How will the AF request support from the supplier?

Who will receive the support?

What type and level of support will be required?

Are there non-standard conditions related to the request for support?

What is the objective or mission supported?

When will the support be provided?

Have all support categories been considered?

Where will the support be provided?

Does the receiving unit have any existing contracts that will require an Associate Contract Agreement between contractors?

Does the receiver have an existing Requirements Contract that precludes supplier from providing requested support or duplicate services already provided in the contract?

Any doubts as to exactly what support is needed must be clarified before the support agreement is approved.

15. Support Agreements

A. Support agreements administered by the Air Force are normally documented on DD Form 1144 and fall into the following principal categories:

Air Force to Air Force, known as Intra-service Agreements (to include Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and Air National Guard (ANG)).

Air Force to other Service or DoD components, known as Inter-service Agreements.

Air Force to other non-DoD Federal activities, known as Intra-governmental Agreements.

Air Force to other non-Federal activities, excluding private or commercial enterprises.

B. To ensure the maintenance of a comprehensive logistics record, all significant recurring support provided by the Air Force shall be recorded on DD Form 1144, whether reimbursable or non-reimbursable. Also, record all such support on DD Form 1144 when the Air Force is the receiver.

C. Policy and procedures for Inter-service, Intra-governmental and Air Force to non- Federal activities are governed by the DoDI 4000.19. In addition, the DoDI 4000.19 provides general guidance for the administration of support agreements within the DoD community.

D. If there is conflict with any other guidance, information in agreements will not supersede any other DoD or Air Force directive or instruction. The agreement itself should not prescribe detailed procedures for performing any particular support function.

Such guidance is usually in other DoD or Air Force directives, instructions, manuals, etc., which apply to the particular type of support being performed. If such information is not in the DoD or Air Force directive in enough detail for local use, a local-level operational procedure/directive should be prepared and referenced in the agreement.

See AFI 25-201 for guidance and examples.

16. Memorandums of Agreement/Understanding (MOA/MOUs)

A. Most MOAs and MOUs are used to define areas of broad agreement between two or more parties. MOAs are memorandums that define general areas of conditional agreement between two or more parties – the actions of the other party depend on what the other party does (e.g., one party agrees to provide support if the other party provides the materials). MOUs are memorandums that define general areas of understanding between two or more parties – explains what each party plans to do; however, what each party does is not dependent on the actions of the other party (e.g., does not require reimbursement or other support from receiver).

B. MAJCOM/Numbered Air Force (NAF) Level MOA/MOUs. Most internal Air Force MOA/MOUs are broad agreements between or among MAJCOMs or NAFs to identify parameters for developing support agreements between subordinate units. At the installation level, these MOA/MOUs are then used as a source document in addressing the provision of services, funding and reimbursement arrangements. However, the actual transfer of funds or other resources is affected by the relevant established functional procedure and not by MOA/MOUs alone.

C. Functional Area MOA/MOUs. MOA/MOUs can be used between functional areas to document mutually agreed areas of responsibility, such as:

Statement of facts.

Intentions.

Procedures.

Policies for future actions.

D. The functional Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) (e.g. Civil Engineers, Security Forces) will usually draft, sign and maintain these documents, which are procedural or technical in nature and will not initiate the obligation of funds or manpower for recurring support. Refer to AFI 25-201 for MOA/MOU guidance

17. EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES.

A. The host will provide the following items for each field service technical representative. All other investment and expense material shall be the responsibility of the contractor. Examples of common use items listed below should be included in the BSA agreements:

ITEM/NOMENCLATURE QUANTITY

Desk 1 Chair, desk 1 File Cabinet 2 Tech Order Cabinet 1 Bookcase 2 Working Table 1 per two reps Chair, table 2 per table Telephone 1 Trash can 1

B. The host will provide workspace, equipment, and supplies for up to 50 contractor personnel at Duke Field, FL in support of the Government DT&E program.

CONCLUSION: This baseline agreement is an adequate statement of discussions and coordination of those support requirements and responsibilities for each base. These above support requirements and responsibilities will cover those functions necessary for the contractor to execute technical representative and/or engineering and/or contractor field team duties during the designated time frame.

Performance of this contract is at multiple sites. It is anticipated that all provisions of this document will not be appropriate for all sites. Therefore; the local Government Project Officer/Quality Assurance Representative is authorized to supplement this agreement to facilitate the needs of the particular site. It is understood that additional agreements shall not result in any increase in contract price or obligation without written authorization by a Warranted Contracting Officer.
