(a) The Contractor shall update the information in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information

(1) The non-public segment, into which Government officials and the Contractor post information, which can only be viewed by--

(i) Government personnel and authorized users performing business on behalf of the Government; or

(ii) The Contractor, when viewing data on itself; and

(2) The publicly-available segment, to which all data in the non-public segment of FAPIIS is automatically transferred after a waiting period of 14 calendar days, except for--

(i) Past performance reviews required by subpart 42.15;

(ii) Information that was entered prior to April 15, 2011; or

(iii) Information that is withdrawn during the 14-calendar-day waiting period by the Government official who posted it in accordance with paragraph (c)(1) of this clause.

(c) The Contractor will receive notification when the Government posts new information to the Contractor's record.

(1) If the Contractor asserts in writing within 7 calendar days, to the Government official who posted the information, that some of the information posted to the non-public segment of FAPIIS is covered by a disclosure exemption under the Freedom of Information Act, the Government official who posted the information must within 7 calendar days remove the posting from FAPIIS and resolve the issue in accordance with agency Freedom of

Information procedures, prior to reposting the releasable information. The contractor must cite 52.209-9 and request removal within 7 calendar days of the posting to FAPIIS.

(2) The Contractor will also have an opportunity to post comments regarding information that has been posted by the

Government. The comments will be retained as long as the associated information is retained, i.e., for a total period of 6 years. Contractor comments will remain a part of the record unless the Contractor revises them.

(3) As required by section 3010 of Pub. L. 111-212, all information posted in FAPIIS on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews, will be publicly available.

(d) Public requests for system information posted prior to April 15, 2011, will be handled under Freedom of

Information Act procedures, including, where appropriate, procedures promulgated under E.O. 12600.

5552.216-XXXX

5552.216-XXXX Economic Price Adjustment for Scheduled Services – Single Mode

As prescribed in 5516.203-4(x), insert a clause that is substantially the same in all commercial contracts for single mode transportation services when an economic price adjustment based on the IHS Global Insight Index (GII) is anticipated.

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT FOR SCHEDULED SERVICES – SINGLE MODE (MMM YYYY)

In order to protect the contractor and government against significant market fluctuations, the unit prices shall be adjusted on 1 Feb of each Option Year beginning 1 Feb 2015. Allowable adjustments will be made upward or downward if the adjustment varies by more than 2%. The adjustment shall be based on the GII Pricing and

Purchasing Industry Forecasting for North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code as follows:

484121.

In the event publication of the above index is discontinued, the parties shall agree upon an appropriate substitute index.

http://farsite.hill.af.mil/reghtml/regs/other/USTRANSCOM/5516.htm#P6_507

(a) Index figures subsequently revised by GII (e.g., amending formerly released indices by removing or replacing components within the index, describing revisions by footnote or appendix, significantly altering the method of calculating the index, or any other method) shall not warrant a retroactive price adjustment under the terms and conditions of this contract.

(b) Price adjustments shall be executed via a contract modification.

(c) Any price adjustments under this EPA clause shall be rounded to two decimal positions (e.g. $1.50).

(d) The formula for determining the adjusted unit prices for the Option Year is –

( IN / IN-1 ) x PN = Adjusted Unit Price

Where:

PN = The current effective prices listed in the Schedule, where the subscript “N” represents the current contract performance period.

IN-1 = Index for the current contract period: 4-quarter average of the GII calculated index for the current contract performance period.

IN = Index for the adjustment period: 4-quarter average of the GII calculated index for the future contract period.

EXAMPLE:

Contract performance start date is 1 February 2014. The first EPA will be effective on 1 February 2015.

Sample Calculated Index for NAICS 483111:

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4

Year 12 146.15 146.35 146.76 147.03

Year 13 147.45 147.46 148.92 149.98

Year 14 150.85 151.75 152.44 153.40

Year

154.49 155.66 156.74 158.09

Note: The below figures are provided as an example only. The first example shows a sample increase from the base year to the 1st option year. The second example shows a sample increase from the 1st option year to the 2nd option year. This example assumes a base year beginning on 1 Feb 14 with a one-year period of performance and two one-year option year periods.

Base Year (1 Feb 14 – 31 Jan 15) To 1 st Option Year (1 Feb 15 – 31 Jan 16)

Example PN= $2.34, where subscript “N” = CY14

Example I13 = Avg from Q4 2012 Through Q3 2013

(147.03+147.45+147.46+148.92)/4 = 147.72

Example I14 = Avg from Q4 2013 through Q3 2014

(149.98+150.85+151.75+152.44)/4 = 151.26

Example Adjustment: P15 = [(151.26/147.72) x $2.34] = [1.0239 x $2.34] = $2.40 st Option Year (1 Feb 15 – 31 Jan 16) To 2 nd Option Year (1 Feb 16 – 31 Jan 17)

Example PN = $2.40, where subscript “N” = CY15

Example I14 = Avg from Q4 2013 through Q3 2014

(149.98+150.85+151.75+152.44)/4 = 151.26

Example I15 = Avg from Q4 2014 through Q3 2015

(153.40+154.49+155.66+156.74)/4 = 155.07

Example Adjustment: P16 = [(155.07/151.26) x $2.40] = [1.0251 x $2.40] = $2.46

(e) In addition, carriers may waive an EPA increase that results in higher prices or any part thereof for the entire contract or identified CLIN(s). The adjustment percentage shall apply to all pricing within the identified

CLIN(s). Secondly, if the carrier elects to do so, they can offer the Government an additional downward price adjustment, effective at the time of the option exercise, in lieu of an increased EPA option year adjustment. A carrier may not waive a downward EPA adjustment.

(f) All EPA adjustment calculations will be based on the current year’s prices in the Schedule and the index calculations described above. A carrier shall not recoup previously waived EPA increases.

5552.216-9003 USTRANSCOM TASK AND DELIVERY ORDER OMBUDSMAN (JUNE 2009)

In accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(6), the individual identified below is designated as the USTRANSCOM Task and

Delivery-Order Ombudsman. The ombudsman is an independent official designated to review contractor complaints and to ensure contractors are afforded a fair opportunity to be considered, consistent with the procedures in the contract.
