1.6.12 Identification of Contractor Employees: All contract personnel attending meetings, answering

Government telephones, and working in other situations where their Contractor status is not obvious to third parties are required to identify themselves as such to avoid creating an impression in the minds of members of the public that they are Government officials. They must also ensure that all documents or reports produced by

Contractors are suitably marked as Contractor products or that Contractor participation is appropriately disclosed. Contractor personnel will be required to obtain and wear badges that are visible above the waist in the performance of this service.

1.6.13 Contractor Travel: Travel is required to various CONUS/OCONUS locations as determined by the

The Contractor shall be reimbursed for actual allowable, allocable, and reasonable travel costs incurred during performance of this effort in accordance with the FAR 31.205-46 "Travel costs." The contractor only may be reimbursed for its travel expenses, and not for any labor hours arising from the travel, as labor will be priced under different CLIN(S). The contractor will not receive an hourly payment for the time contractor personnel spend in travel; this should virtually eliminate the incentive that the contractor must undertake excessive or unnecessary travel. Any travel or arrangements for travel are conducted without the required approval(s), the

Contractor shall be responsible for all associated costs.

There are no other direct charges (ODCs) associated with this requirement or under award.

1.6.14 Other Direct Costs: This category includes items such as reproduction, materials, sampling supplies, and shipping expenses associated with activities such as deliverable preparation, training, and sampling.

These documents and materials may not be used or sold by the Contractor without written permission from the KO. All materials supplied to the Government shall be the sole property of the Government and may not be used for any other purpose. This right does not abrogate any other Government rights.

1.6.16 Organizational Conflict of Interest: Contractor and subcontractor personnel performing work under this contract may receive, have access to, or participate in the development of proprietary or source selection information (e.g., cost or pricing information, budget information or analyses, specifications or work statements, etc.) or perform evaluation services which may create a current or subsequent Organizational Conflict of

Interests (OCI) as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5. The Contractor shall notify the KO immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and shall promptly submit a plan to the KO to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The Contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the KO. In the event the KO unilaterally determines that any such

OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the KO may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.

1.6.17 Prime and Subcontractor: In accordance with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting

(DEVIATION 2019-O0003) by submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Offeror/Contractor agrees in performance of the contract in the case of a contract for services (except construction), it will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities.

In performance of services awarded under this contract the Limitations on Subcontracting, will be monitored and strictly enforced. The Contractor's Limitations on Subcontracting performance will be monitored in accordance with the following criteria: In performance of all task orders combined, at least 50% of the cumulative average of all task order performance incurred for personnel shall be expended by the Prime

Contractor. (Note: Each task order does not have to meet 50% unless otherwise specified by the Contracting

Officer in their individual task order).

The contractor shall demonstrate this by submission of a deliverable report every 6 months on the amount of work subcontracted. The report shall demonstrate the allocation of work between the prime and subcontractor(s) and be submitted to the Contracting Officer’s Representative/Contracting Officer via email.

1.6.18 Phase In /Phase Out Period: To minimize any decreases in productivity and to prevent possible negative impacts on additional services, the Contractor shall have personnel on board during the thirty (30) day phase in/ phase out periods.
