Section H - Special Contract Requirements
SECTION H CLAUSES
H.1. INITIAL TASK ORDER
Each awardee will receive an initial task order to attend a post award kick-off meeting, which will meet the contract minimum guaranteed purchase amount requirement of $1500.00. The kick-off meeting will require the attendance of at least the IDIQ Program Manager and the Logistics Manager. The post award kick-off meeting will be conducted within 30 calendar days of contract award at a location within the vicinity of Tampa, Florida. This CLIN will be cost reimbursable for travel costs allowable under FAR 31.205-46 and the fully-burdened labor rate of the awardee’s participating employees during the meeting.
H-2. ON/OFF RAMP PROCEDURES
(a) On-Ramp. The Government intends to establish a pool of contract holders under the MEUAS IV effort by awarding an IDIQ contract to each and all Qualifying Offerors based on the specific MEUAS platforms proffered by each offeror and approved by the Government during award of the MEUAS IV IDIQ contract. The Contracting Officer intends to periodically review the need for additional contractors and additional platforms, and may reopen the MEUAS IV IDIQ contract competition at any time during the term of the contract for either purpose. When the Contracting Officer decides to open an On-Ramp event, it will be announced via FedBizOpps.
(i) New MEUAS IV IDIQ Contract Holders. Existing MEUAS IV IDIQ contract holders may not participate in an On-Ramp event to add new contract holders. A new contract holder On-Ramp event will use the same evaluation methodology and documentation, updated to reflect any changes in statutory or regulatory provisions, established in the initial H9240819R0001 solicitation. Each new awardee will compete with existing MEUAS IV contractor holders for all subsequent task orders (excluding an initial order to meet the minimum guaranteed purchase amount).
New contract holders will compete for task orders with established contract holders without any special considerations. On-Ramp events for new awardees will not cause an increase in the contract ceiling, and the ordering period for new awardees under the MEUAS IV IDIQ contract will be the amount of time remaining on the ordering period for existing contract holders. The Government will not consider unsolicited requests for a new awardee On-Ramp event. At the conclusion of an On-Ramp event, the Contracting Officer may reject all proposals submitted by offerors under a new contract holder On-Ramp event.
The costs to participate in a new contract holder On-Ramp event shall be borne wholly by each offeror.
(ii) Established MEUAS IV IDIQ Contract Holders. Existing MEUAS IV IDIQ contract holders may participate in an On-Ramp event to add a new MEUAS platform or platforms to their contracts. A new platform On-Ramp event will use the same evaluation methodology and documentation, updated to reflect any changes in statutory or regulatory provisions, established in the initial H9240319R0004 solicitation. The costs to participate in a new platform On-Ramp event shall be borne wholly by each participating contract holder. No contract holder will be penalized for failure to have their proffered platform accepted or for choosing not to participate in a new platform On-Ramp event.
(b) Off-Ramp.
The Government reserves the right to eliminate (i.e., “off-ramp”) a contract holder from the pool of MEUAS IV IDIQ contract holders if a contract holder has no active task orders and: (i) has been in Dormant Status for more than twelve months; or (ii) has not participated in any fair opportunity competitions for which it was eligible during the twelve-month [or other] period immediately prior to elimination.
H.3. DORMANT STATUS
The MEUAS IV IDIQ contract provides a means to deploy ISR services for Special Operations Forces (SOF) worldwide, and is therefore of crucial importance to national security and the successful execution of SOF missions.
Consequently, MEUAS IV must be reserved for contract holders that demonstrate dedication to the SOF mission.
Accordingly, if the MEUAS IV KO determines that any requirement of the MEUAS IV IDIQ contract is not being met by a contract holder, or if any contract holder fails to participate in three fair opportunity competitions in any twelve-month period, the contract holder may be placed into Dormant Status.
If Dormant Status is activated, the contract holder shall not be eligible to receive any task order awards. However, contract holders placed in Dormant Status shall continue performance on previously awarded and active task orders, including the exercise of options and modifications at the task order level.
Dormant Status is not a Debarment, Suspension, or Ineligibility as defined in FAR subpart 9.4 or a Termination as defined in FAR part 49. Dormant Status is a condition that applies to the MEUAS IV IDIQ contract only. Grounds for being placed in Dormant Status specifically include, but are not limited to, trends or patterns of behavior associated with the failure to meet the deliverables and compliances specified in the MEUAS IV IDIQ contract and any task order issued to the contract holder.
Dormant Status will only be imposed after careful consideration of the situation and collaboration with the contract holder to resolve the issues. To place a contract holder in Dormant Status, the MEUAS IV KO must first send a letter to the contract holder regarding the poor performance, non-participation, or non-compliance issue. The contract holder shall have reasonable time, at the discretion of the MEUAS IV KO, to provide the MEUAS IV KO with a remediation plan to correct the issue(s). If the MEUAS IV KO is satisfied with the contract holder’s response, the contract holder will not be placed in Dormant Status. If the MEUAS IV KO is not satisfied with the response, or the remediation plan is not effective, the MEUAS IV KO may issue a final decision, in writing, placing the contract holder in a Dormant Status. The MEUAS IV KO’s final decision may be appealed to the USSOCOM Ombudsman under section 8 of the MEUAS IV Task Ordering Procedures. This appeal process does not waive the contract holder’s right to appeal to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals or United States Court of Federal Claims.
H.4. TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS
After contract award, the Government may solicit, or the Contractor may propose, technology improvements to the equipment, software, procedures or other necessary means of rendering the required services under the contract. For purposes of this contract, these improvements will be considered Engineering Change Proposals and Engineering Change Orders. These improvements may be proposed to save money, save energy, improve performance or for any other purpose which presents a technological advantage to the Government. Those proposed technology improvements that are acceptable to the Government will be processed as modifications to the contract.
(a) As a minimum, the following information shall be submitted by the Contractor with each proposal:
(1) A description of the difference between the existing contract requirement and the proposed change, and the comparative advantages and disadvantages of each;
(2) Itemized requirements of the contract which must be changed if the proposal is adopted, and the proposed revision to the contract for each such change;
(3) An estimate of the changes in performance and cost, if any, that will result from adoption of the proposal;
(4) An evaluation of the effects the proposed changes would have on collateral costs to the Government, such as Government-furnished property costs, costs of related items, and costs of maintenance, operation and conversion (including Government application software);
(5) A statement of the time by which the contract modification adopting the proposal must be issued so as to obtain the maximum benefits of the changes during the remainder of this contract including supporting rationale;
(6) Any effect on the contract completion time or delivery schedule; and
(7) A price proposal to the Contracting Officer for evaluation.
(b) The Government reserves the right to require a rerun of the entire live test demonstration, or selected portions thereof, to verify the proposed technical improvement, at no charge to the Government.
(c) Technical improvements may not be proposed with a task order proposal. All technical improvements must be approved by the Contracting Officer before they may be incorporated into a task order proposal.
(d) The Government will not be liable for technical improvement proposal preparation costs or any delay in acting upon any technical improvement proposal submitted pursuant herein. The Contractor has the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, any technical improvement proposal not accepted by the Government within the period specified in the proposal. The decision of the Contracting Officer regarding the acceptance of any such technical improvement proposal under this contract is final and not subject to the “Disputes” clause of this contract.
(d) The Contracting Officer may accept any proposal submitted pursuant to this clause by giving the Contractor written notice thereof. This notice may be given by letter, email, or a modification to this contract. However, unless and until a contract modification is executed to incorporate a technical improvement proposed under this contract, the Contractor shall remain obligated to perform in accordance with the requirements, terms and conditions of the existing contract.
H.5. TASK ORDERING PROCEDURES AND CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
See Section J, Attachment 4.
H.6. MANDATORY ELIGIBILITY FOR INSTALLATION ACCESS
This clause applies to all service solicitations and resulting contracts for performance OCONUS (except the Afghanistan Area of Responsibility sites which shall use 5151.225-7016 from the Theater Business Clearance Contracting Officer’s Guide.)
MANDATORY ELIGIBILITY FOR INSTALLATION ACCESS
(JUNE 2019)
(a) U.S. and Coalition Commanders possess inherent authority to maintain law and order, provide security, and impose discipline necessary to protect the inhabitants of U.S. and/or Coalition installations, U.S. and Coalition personnel operating outside of installations, and U.S. or Coalition-funded developmental projects Outside the Contiguous United States (OCONUS). This authority allows commanders to administratively and physically control access to installations and/or project sites, and to bar contracts – including prime contractors, subcontractors at any tier, and any employees, from an installation or site. A commander’s inherent force protection (FP) authority is independent of an agency’s contracting authority, and it may not be superseded by any contractual term or provision.
(b) The prime Contractor/Vendor acknowledges that: submission of a bid, offer, or a proposal; acceptance of contract award of any type; or continuing effort under any contract that includes this clause; requires that the prime Contractor/Vendor, and all subcontractors under any affected contracts be initially eligible – and remain eligible during the entire period of contract performance to include any warrant period – for installation access to a U.S.
and/or Coalition installation, regardless of whether the performance will take place on or off a U.S. or Coalition installation.
(c) To be eligible for installation access, Contractors and subcontractors at all tiers are required to be registered in the SPOT database (further information at https://www.acq.osd.mil) and are responsible for keeping the information in the this system current at all times. Prime Contractors and subcontractors at any tier may be updated by the company administrator in the system for government approval. The offeror must have all credentials required for SPOT to be eligible for installation access prior to award, and remain eligible for installation access for the life of the contract.
(1) The offeror is required to submit a listing of all proposed subcontractors, at all tiers, to the contracting officer with the submission of the proposal, and provide updates during the life of the contract when subcontractors are added or removed. If no subcontractors are expected to perform during the life of the contract, the offeror must submit a negative response to the Contracting Officer with its proposal. After award, the prime contractor must submit a negative response to the contracting officer at the beginning of each performance period.
(2) Failure to be approved in SPOT – and thereby be eligible for installation access at the Prime and subcontractor levels – or failure to inform the contracting officer of the names of all prospective subcontractors (or provide a negative reply), may render the offerors/contractor ineligible for award or continued performance. Additionally, any firm that is declared ineligible for installation access will be deemed non-responsible until such time as that firm is again deemed eligible by the appropriate access approval authority.
(d) Installation access determinations arise from the Forward Base Commander’s inherent authority and are separate and distinct from any law, regulation, or policy regarding suspension and debarment authority. Contractor queries or requests for reconsideration related to U.S. or Coalition installation base access eligibility must be directed to the authority responsible for base access decisions.

H.8 Disclosure of Unclassified Information and Notification Requirements for Cyber Security Breaches (2013)
(a) On September 21, 2001, the Department of Defense designated Headquarters US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) a sensitive unit, as defined by Title 10 United States Code (USC) Section 130b (10 USC 130b). In keeping with this designation, unclassified information related to USSOCOM military technology acquisitions managed by USSOCOM or any of its component commands, will be designated Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). As such, the contractor hereby unequivocally agrees that it shall not release to anyone outside the Contractor’s organization any unclassified information, regardless of medium (e.g., film, tape, document, contractor’s external website, newspaper, magazine, journal, corporate annual report, etc.), pertaining to any part of this contract or any program related to this contract, unless the Contracting Officer has given prior written approval.
Furthermore, any release of information which associates USSOCOM, Special Operation Forces (SOF), or any component command with an acquisition program, contractor, or this contract is prohibited unless specifically authorized by USSOCOM.
(b) Request for approval shall identify the specific information to be released, the medium to be used, and the purpose for the release. The contractor shall submit the request to the Contracting Officer at least 45 days before the propose date for release for approval. No release of any restricted information shall be made without specific written authorization by the Contracting Office.
(c) The protection of sensitive but unclassified data reflecting Special Operations technologies, personnel, plans, and business associations requires due diligence on the part of those in possession of such information. The application of appropriate security measures to ensure the safekeeping of USSOCOM and company proprietary data, intellectual property, and personnel data is the responsibility of all parties who have access to such information. All contractors supporting USSOCOM are required to inform the Contracting Officer within three business days of when there has been a breach or successful penetration of the contractor’s network(s) or information system(s). Breaches include unauthorized intrusions of the contractor’s server(s) from external parties whether through introduction of malware, hacking, the compromise of access passwords, or any other unauthorized access or compromise. Breaches also include the physical loss of storage media such and disks, hard drives, thumb drives, laptops or other devices which contain duplicates of information contained on the contractor’s data systems, or the willful or accidental transmission, copying or posting of contract information which has not been specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer. Estimates of damage and mitigation strategies will be submitted to the Contracting Officer within a period following the breach specified and agreed upon by the Contractor and the Contracting Officer.
(d) The Contractor shall include a similar requirement to this clause in each subcontract under this contract.
Subcontractors shall submit request for authorization to release and notifications related to cyber security breaches through the prime contractor to the Contracting Officer.
(e) The Contractor further understands that Title 18 USC Section 701 specifically prohibits the use of the USSOCOM emblem or logo in any medium (e.g., corporate website, marketing brochure, news paper, magazine, etc.) unless authorized in writing by USSOCOM. Forward any request to use the USSOCOM emblem or logo through the Contracting Officer.
(end of clause)
5652.209-9003 Use of Contractor Support/Advisory Personnel (2015) Section H (Revised August 2015)

Execution of this contract constitutes approval to release the contract, contractor proposals, other contractor information, or proprietary data obtained during contract administration to Government Support Contractors who require access and have signed Non-Disclosure and Rules of Conduct/Conflict of Interest Statements.
