Section H - Special Contract Requirements

SECTION H

H.1 PROVISIONS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE AT ORDER LEVEL

The Basic Contract is incorporated in its entirety (unless otherwise noted in the task order) in all task orders.

Orders also may incorporate one or more additional provisions by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. Also, the full text of a provision may be accessed electronically at this address: http://farsite.hill.af.mil/.

The following clauses apply at the Order level, as applicable, depending upon the contract type of the Order, or as specifically referenced in the applicable Order:

H.3 SUBSTITUTION OF TEAM MEMBERS AND SUBSTITUTION OF PERSONNEL

For Task Orders issued under the Basic Contract, the Contractor agrees to assign to the task order those key persons identified with the Task Order response necessary to fulfill the requirements of the task order. No substitution shall be made without prior notification to and concurrence of the Contracting Officer in accordance with this requirement in writing.

All proposed substitutes shall have qualifications equal to or higher than the qualifications of the person to be replaced. The Contracting Officer shall be notified in writing of any proposed substitution at least thirty (30) days, or sixty (60) days if a security clearance is to be obtained, in advance of the proposed substitution. Such notification shall include:

-an explanation of the circumstances necessitating the substitution;

-a complete resume of the proposed substitute; and -any other information requested by the Contracting Officer to enable him/her to judge whether or not the .

-contractor is maintaining the same high quality of personnel that provided the partial basis for award.\

H.4 GOVERNMENT PROPERTY

a. Government-Furnished Equipment. Government-furnished equipment, data, or services shall be identified in individual TOs.

b. Contractor Acquired Property. In the event the contractor is required to purchase property in the performance of this contract, compliance with the procedures of FAR Part 45.402, Government Property, is required.

c. Disposition of Government Property. Thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Task Order period of performance, or upon termination of the Task Order, the contractor shall furnish to the COR a complete inventory of all Government Property in his possession under the Task Order that has not been tested to destruction, completely expended in performance, or incorporated and made a part of a deliverable end item. The COR will furnish disposition instructions on all listed property which was furnished or purchased under the Task Order.

d. Leasing of Real and Personal Property. The Government contemplates that leases may be part of a solution offered by a Contractor, but the Government, where the Offeror’s solution includes leasing, will not be the Lessee.

Under no circumstances on any Order issued under this Basic Contract shall (a) the Government be deemed to have privity-of-contract with the owner/lessor of the leased items; or (b) The Government be held liable for early termination/cancellation damages if the Government decides not to exercise an Option period under an Order unless the Contractor has specifically disclosed the amount of such damages (or the formula by which such damages would be calculated) as part of its Proposal and the Contracting Officer has specifically approved/allowed such damages as part of the Award. The Basic Contract strictly prohibits the use of lease-like payment arrangements, which purport to permit the Government to receive delivery of items and then pay for the full cost of the items over time, even if such arrangements are not technically a lease transaction because the Government is not the lessee.

H.5 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

a. Clearance. The DD Form 254, Contract Security Classification Specification (Section J, Attachment No. 4) requires the Offeror to have or be able to obtain the security clearances specified for performance under those task orders that require a security clearance. Each task order will specify the type and level of security required. Offerors shall demonstrate that they either currently have the required facility and level of safeguarding clearances, or interim clearances, upon contract award.

b. Information Security. Although many task orders will require access to, or the generation of, classified information, some will not. Accordingly, a Contract Security Classification Specification, DD Form 254, is provided at Section J, Attachment No. 4. If an individual task order contains a facility clearance exceeding the TOP SECRET level specified in the contract level DD Form 254, a task order-level DD Form 254 will be issued. The contractor must comply with all appropriate security regulations in handling classified material, publishing reports and the preparation of other products.

c. Personnel Security. Individual task order security requirements may include personnel clearances at the CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET or TOP SECRET level, with some requiring access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI). For task orders that contain personnel clearance requirements that exceed the SECRET level specified in the contract level DD Form 254, a task order-level DD Form 254 will be issued. Position sensitivity designations (i.e., ADP-I or ADP-II) are required for contractor personnel that provide information technology (IT) services. The designations will be specified on an individual task order basis. The position sensitivity requirement will be determined based on the type of computer access provided, the type of functions performed, the sensitivity of the data processed and the level of Government oversight maintained. See DoD 5200.2-R Personnel Security Program Regulation, January 1987 revised 17 February 1996, http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/520002r.pdf.

d. Facility Security Considerations. The Contractor facility that performs secured requirements must possess the appropriate facility clearance. All contractors are required to possess an active, current Top Secret Facility Clearance when proposal are submitted and are required to maintain that Facility Clearance throughout the entire contract including options. Contractors are expected to comply with all conditions of performance including, but not limited to: the means of premises ingress/egress, security requirements, delivery/ demurrage, storage, use of approaches, use of corridors, use of stairways, use of elevators, Government furnished space/property/equipment, availability of/access to Government facilities on federal holidays, and similar matters prior to submission of a quotation or request for proposal for task order opportunities.

e. During all operations on Government premises, the Contractor's personnel shall comply with the rules and regulations governing the conduct of personnel and the operation of the facility.

f. The contractor shall bear the cost of any security clearances required for performance.

H.6 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

a. The provisions of FAR Subpart 9.5, Organization and Consultant Conflicts of Interest, concerning organizational conflicts of interest govern Task Orders issued under this contract.

b. Potential conflicts may exist in accordance with FAR 9.505-1, Providing Systems Engineering and Technical Direction, through 9.505-4, Obtaining Access to Proprietary Information.

c. The contractor is responsible for identifying any actual or potential organizational conflict of interest to the Contracting Officer that would arise as the result of the issuance of a TO under this contract.

d. To avoid, mitigate, or neutralize a potential conflict, the Contracting Officer will impose appropriate constraints, such as the following:

http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/520002r.pdf

(1) The contractor agrees that if it provides, under a contract or task order, systems engineering and technical guidance for systems and programs, but does not have overall contractual responsibility, it will not be allowed to be awarded a contract or task order to supply the system or any of its major components or be a subcontractor or consultant to a supplier of the system or any of its major components (FAR 9.505-1).

(2) The contractor agrees that if it prepares specifications for nondevelopmental items or assists in the preparation of work statements for a system or services under a contract or TO, it will not be allowed to furnish these items, either as a prime contractor, a subcontractor or as a consultant (FAR 9.505-2).

(3) The contractor agrees that if it gains access to proprietary data of other companies, it will protect such data and it will not use such proprietary data in supplying systems or components in future competitive procurements (FAR 9.505-4). In addition, the contractor agrees to protect the proprietary data and rights of other organizations disclosed to the contractor during performance of any Task Order with the same caution that a reasonably prudent contractor would use to safeguard highly valuable property. The contractor also agrees that if it gains access to the proprietary information of other companies, it will enter into an agreement with the other companies to protect their information from unauthorized use or disclosure for as long as it remains proprietary and refrain from using the information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished.

(4) The contractor agrees that it will not distribute reports, data or information of any nature arising from its performance under this contract, except as provided by the TO or as may be directed by the Contracting Officer.

(5) The contractor agrees that it will neither evaluate nor advise the Government with regard to its own products or activities. The contractor will objectively evaluate or advise the Government concerning products or activities of any prospective competitors.

(6) The contractor agrees that it will include the above provisions, including this paragraph, in agreements with teaming partners, consultants or subcontractors at any tier which involve access to information covered above. The use of this clause in such agreements shall be read by substituting the word "consultant" or "subcontractor" for the word "contractor" whenever the latter appears.

e. The contractor shall effectively educate its employees, through formal training, company policy, information directives and procedures, in an awareness of the legal provisions of FAR Subpart 9.5 and its underlying policy and principles so that each employee will know and understand the provisions of that Subpart and the absolute necessity of safeguarding information under a TO from anyone other than the contractor's employees who have a need to know, and the U.S. Government.

f. The term contractor herein used means: (1) the organization (hereinafter referred to as "it" or "its") entering into this agreement with the Government; (2) all business organizations with which it may merge, join or affiliate now or in the future and in any manner whatsoever, or which hold or may obtain, by purchase or otherwise, direct or indirect control of it; (3) its parent organization if any and any of its present or future subsidiaries, associates, affiliates, or holding companies, and; (4) any organization or enterprise over which it has direct or indirect control now or in the future.

g. In connection with a particular constraint, the contractor may submit a response to the Contracting Officer for the purpose of indicating potential measures to avoid or mitigate a conflict. In the event the Contracting Officer determines that a conflict exists which cannot be effectively mitigated the provision in FAR 9.5 must be followed.

h. In the event that an Order requires activity that would create an actual or potential conflict of interest, the Contractor shall:

(1) Notify the Contracting Officer of the actual or potential conflict, and not commence work on any Order that involves a potential or actual conflict of interest until specifically notified by the Contracting Officer to proceed;

(2) Identify the conflict and recommend to the Contracting Officer an alternate tasking approach which would avoid the conflict; if the Contracting Officer determines that it is in the best interest of the Government to issue the Order, notwithstanding a conflict of interest, a request for waiver shall be submitted in accordance with FAR 9.503.

H.7 INSURANCE

a. In accordance with FAR 52.228-5, Insurance - Work on a Government Installation, and FAR 52.228-7, Insurance

- Liability to Third Persons, insurance policies with the following types and minimum amounts shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer within 30 days of award and maintained during the period of performance of the Basic Contract:

Coverage for passenger liability bodily injury shall be at least $200,000 multiplied by the number of seats or passengers, whichever is greater;

(5) Vessel liability, specified at FAR 28.307-2(e), when contract performance involves the use of vessels, the Contracting Officer shall require, as determined by the agency, vessel collision liability and protection and indemnity liability insurance.

b. Defense Base Act Insurance. Pursuant to FAR 28.305, Defense Base Act insurance coverage provides workers’ compensation benefits (medical, disability, death) in the event of a work-related injury or illness outside the United States. The Government requires that employees hired by contractors and subcontractors who work internationally be protected by the Defense Base Act coverage, regardless of their assignment and/or location unless a waiver has been obtained by the U.S. Department of Labor.
