SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES

The following have been modified:

NOTE B

NOTE B: FIXED SHIP REPAIR LABOR AND MATERIAL BURDEN RATES FOR GROWTH AND

NEW WORK

SCHEDULE OF PRICES / RATES: SHIP REPAIR LABOR RATE (FULLY BURDENED)

1. The Contractor’s fully burdened ship repair labor rate will be used for negotiating growth and new work to be performed under this contract. The contractor agrees that the number of hours included in its price proposal submitted in response to Requests for Contract Changes (RCCs), Growth Management Requests (GMRs) and Reservation Task Requests (RTRs) shall include only direct production hours. For these purposes, direct production hours are for skilled labor at the journeyman level expended in direct production including but not limited to the following functions:

Abrasive cleaning/blasting Fire Watch Welding Burning Brazing Carpentry Machinists (inside and outside) Electrical Work Electronic Work Engineering Design Support Lagging Ship-fitting Boiler-making Painting Sheet-metal Work Pipefitting Rigging General Labor Staging/Scaffolding Diesel Mechanics

2. The fully burdened ship repair labor rate proposed by the contractor listed in paragraph 7 below shall include all costs associated with support functions (whether charged directly or indirectly by the offeror’s accounting systems) provided in support of the direct production functions listed in paragraph 1 above.

Support functions shall be considered to be included in the offeror’s fully burdened ship repair labor rate for direct production hours. Labor hours for the below support functions shall not be separately proposed, including in support of subcontractors. Support functions include, and are not limited to, those types listed below:

Testing Quality Assurance

Execution Planning Cleaning (except tank cleaning) Supervision (all types, including, but not limited to supervision of trades, support personnel and subcontractors) Security Surveying Administration Transportation Purchasing Staff Lofting Other indirect support Handling & Warehousing Safety/Environmental Program Management

3. The fully burdened ship repair labor rate is a fixed hourly rate that includes all wages, (i.e. straight time, overtime, shift differential, holiday time, etc.), overhead, all other indirect costs, general and administrative expenses, Facilities Capital Cost of Money (FCCOM) and profit. The fully burdened ship repair labor rate represents a blended rate including labor transferred between divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the contractor under a common control.

4. Consumable materials are goods used in the ordinary course of work performance such as office supplies, paper, rags, vehicle or equipment fuel costs, cleaning chemicals, disposable tools, welding rods, paint buckets, paint brushes, protective clothing, etc., that are consumed/used in the process of repair and do not become an integral part of the repaired vessel. Consumable material shall be included in the contractor’s fully burdened ship repair labor rate and not separately priced.

5. Physical materials are goods that become incorporated into the repaired vessel in the course of the repair, such as replacement steel, pipes, paint, and fasteners. The material burden rate applies to physical materials but not to consumable materials. The material burden rate will be applied to the actual cost of the physical material. Actual cost does not include handling charges, general and administrative cost, overhead, profit, or any other indirect cost.

6. For growth and new work contract changes involving subcontractors, subcontractor quotes will be treated as

Other Direct Costs (ODCs) and will be subject to the contract material burden rate shown in paragraph (7) below. Subcontractor quotes must be competitively acquired and submitted with the contractor’s COPA in response to RCCs, GMRs and RTRs issued by the Contracting Officer. At no time will the proposed total to be performed by the prime contractor combined with subcontractor quote, material quote, and applicable burdens be allowed to cost more than it would have, had the prime contractor directly provided all material and labor. The proposed total pricing restriction addressed in the preceding sentence does not apply in any case where the work is required to be performed by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Government directed subcontractors, and/or Government authorized vendors. RCCs and RTRs that are subcontracted for material only (no associated labor required within the RCC) shall not be subject to the Material Burden Rate. Any material burden rate applied to new work shall be approved by the ACO, upon receipt of supporting documentation in accordance with FAR 15.404-3, Subcontract Pricing Considerations.

7. The contract fixed fully burdened ship repair labor rate and new work labor rates and material burden growth and new work rate are shown below. These fixed rates shall be used for negotiating growth and new work during the availability and up to three (3) months after the Attachment J-3 ‘Contract Complete’ date:

USS ROSS (DDG 71) FY23 EDSRA

Fully Burdened Ship Repair Growth Labor Rate TBD Fully Burdened Ship Repair New Work Labor TBD Material Burden Growth Rate TBD

Material Burden New Work Rate TBD

8. In the event of a one-bid or directed availability, the Contracting Officer may negotiate the Fully Burdened Ship Repair Labor Rate and Material Burden Rate (not to exceed the ceiling rate(s) identified above) with the offeror in accordance with FAR 15.4, Contract Pricing. The rates herein are not considered a Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) and are identified solely for the purpose of establishing a ceiling.

9. In the event of an extension due to excusable delay to the delivery date for the USS ROSS (DDG 71) FY23 EDSRA, the Contractor’s fully burdened ship repair labor rate shall be escalated by 0.40 % commencing 3 months after the Attachment J-3 “Contract Complete” date. Following the “Contract Complete” date identified in Attachment J-3 (Milestones), this rate shall be escalated quarterly through the 24th month, if necessary, and shall be used to negotiate all growth and new work. Note, in the event of an excusable delay, this escalation rate shall be applied only to growth and new work not previously identified in Attachment J-4 (Pricing Worksheet). The material burden rate shall not increase.

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The following have been added by full text:

H-209-H004 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (NAVSEA) (DEC 2018)

(a) "Organizational Conflict of Interest" means that because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a person is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government, or the person's objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or a person has an unfair competitive advantage. "Person" as used herein includes Corporations, Partnerships, Joint Ventures, and other business enterprises.

(b) The Contractor warrants that to the best of its knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise set forth in the contract, the Contractor does not have any organizational conflict of interest(s) as defined in paragraph (a).

(c) It is recognized that the effort to be performed by the Contractor under this contract may create a potential organizational conflict of interest on the instant contract or on a future acquisition. In order to avoid this potential conflict of interest, and at the same time to avoid prejudicing the best interest of the Government, the right of the Contractor to participate in future procurement of equipment or services that are the subject of any work under this contract shall be limited as described below in accordance with the requirements of FAR 9.5.

(d) The contractor agrees that it shall not release, disclose, or use in any way that would permit or result in disclosure to any party outside the Government:

(1) any information provided to the Contractor by the Government during or as a result of performance of this contract. Such information includes, but is not limited to, information submitted to the Government on a confidential basis by other persons. Further, the prohibition against release of Government provided information extends to cover such information whether or not in its original form, e.g., where the information has been included in Contractor generated work or where it is discernible from materials incorporating or based upon such information. This prohibition shall not expire after a given period of time.

(2) any information generated or derived during or as a result of performance of this contract. This prohibition shall expire after a period of three years after completion of performance of this contract.

(e) The prohibitions contained in subparagraphs (d)(1) and (d)(2) shall apply with equal force to any affiliate of the Contractor, any subcontractor, consultant, or employee of the Contractor, any joint venture involving the Contractor, any entity into or with which it may merge or affiliate, or any successor or assign of the Contractor. The terms of paragraph (g) of this Special Contract Requirement relating to notification shall apply to any release of information in contravention of this paragraph (d).

(f) The Contractor further agrees that, during the performance of this contract and for a period of three years after completion of performance of this contract, the Contractor, any affiliate of the Contractor, any subcontractor, consultant, or employee of the Contractor, any joint venture involving the Contractor, any entity into or with which it may subsequently merge or affiliate, or any other successor or assign of the Contractor, shall not furnish to the United States Government, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor, or as a consultant to a prime contractor or subcontractor, any system, component or services which is the subject of the work to be performed under this contract. This exclusion does not apply to any recompetition for those systems, components or services furnished pursuant to this contract. As provided in FAR 9.505-2, if the Government procures the system, component, or services on the basis of work statements growing out of the effort performed under this contract, from a source other than the contractor, subcontractor, affiliate, or assign of either, during the course of performance of this contract or before the three year period following completion of this contract has lapsed, the Contractor may, with the authorization of the cognizant Contracting Officer, participate in a subsequent procurement for the same system, component, or service. In other words, the Contractor may be authorized to compete for procurement(s) for systems, components or services subsequent to an intervening procurement.

(g) The Contractor agrees that, if after award, it discovers an actual or potential organizational conflict of interest, it shall make immediate and full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. The notification shall include a description of the actual or potential organizational conflict of interest, a description of the action which the Contractor has taken or proposes to take to avoid, mitigate, or neutralize the conflict, and any other relevant information that would assist the Contracting Officer in making a determination on this matter. Notwithstanding this notification, the Government may terminate the contract for the convenience of the Government if determined to be in the best interest of the Government.

(h) Notwithstanding paragraph (g) above, if the Contractor was aware, or should have been aware, of an organizational conflict of interest prior to the award of this contract or becomes, or should become, aware of an organizational conflict of interest after award of this contract and does not make an immediate and full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate this contract for default.

(i) If the Contractor takes any action prohibited by this requirement or fails to take action required by this requirement, the Government may terminate this contract for default.

(j) The Contracting Officer's decision as to the existence or nonexistence of an actual or potential organizational conflict of interest shall be final.

(k) Nothing in this requirement is intended to prohibit or preclude the Contractor from marketing or selling to the United States Government its product lines in existence on the effective date of this contract; nor, shall this requirement preclude the Contractor from participating in any research and development or delivering any design development model or prototype of any such equipment. Additionally, sale of catalog or standard commercial items are exempt from this requirement.

(l) The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, if it has been tasked to evaluate or advise the Government concerning its own products or activities or those of a competitor in order to ensure proper safeguards exist to guarantee objectivity and to protect the Government's interest.

(m) The Contractor shall include this requirement in subcontracts of any tier which involve access to information or situations/conditions covered by the preceding paragraphs, substituting "subcontractor" for "contractor" where appropriate.

(n) The rights and remedies described herein shall not be exclusive and are in addition to other rights and remedies provided by law or elsewhere included in this contract.

(o) Compliance with this requirement is a material requirement of this contract.

SECTION I - CONTRACT CLAUSES

The following have been added by reference:

252.222-7006 Restrictions on the Use of Mandatory Arbitration Agreements DEC 2010

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been added by reference:

252.215-7009 Proposal Adequacy Checklist JAN 2014

The following have been added by full text:

L-209-H009 NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL OR PERSONAL CONFLICT(S) OF

INTEREST (NAVSEA) (APR 2022)

(a) Offerors are reminded that certain existing contractual arrangements may preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, either as a subcontractor or as a prime contractor under this competitive procurement. Of primary concern are those contractual arrangements in which the Offeror provides support to Program Office PMS 407, SEA 21, or related laboratories (if applicable), in support of operation of the office or any of its programs. General guidance may be found in FAR 9.505; however, this guidance is not all-inclusive. The Offeror's attention is directed to the "Organizational Conflict of Interest" (OCI) or similar requirement which may be contained in current or completed contract(s) which prohibits the prime or subcontractor from providing certain supplies or services to the Government as described above during the period of the current "support" contract(s) or for a period after completion of the "support" contract(s). Notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of an OCI or similar requirement in current or completed contract(s), the Offeror shall comply with FAR subpart 9.5 and identify whether an OCI exists and not rely solely on the presence of an OCI or similar requirement.

(b) Offerors also are reminded that certain potential conflicts of interest may arise where an Offeror has unequal access to nonpublic information about a competitor that may provide the Offeror with an unfair competitive advantage and preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, either of the individual, subcontractor or prime contractor under this competitive procurement. For example, a potential conflict may arise if former Department of Navy employee(s), subcontractors, or teaming partners of the Offeror may have gained access to nonpublic information about a competitor through participation in previous or ongoing performance or during the solicitation development/source selection process associated with this competitive procurement, and then participates in the formation of the Offeror’s proposal. Other potential conflicts of interest may arise where either the former Department of Navy employee(s), subcontractors, or teaming partners of the Offeror under this competitive procurement set the ground rules for competition; for example, by drafting specifications or assisting in the drafting of the statement of work. General guidance may be found in FAR 3.101 and 9.505; however, this guidance is not all-inclusive.

(c) If an Offeror identifies a potential conflict of interest that exists at any tier, that Offeror is requested to notify the Contracting Officer within 14 days of the date of this solicitation. The Offeror shall provide: (1) the contract or previous source selection’s solicitation number and name and phone number of the Contracting Officer for the contract which gives rise to a potential conflict of interest; (2) a copy of the requirement; (3) the statement of work and technical instruction from the existing contract, as applicable; (4) a brief description of the type of work to be performed by each subcontractor under the competitive procurement; (5) a brief description of the individual’s, subcontractor’s, or teaming partner’s unequal access to nonpublic information about a competitor, which may lead to a conflict of interest in the formation of the Offeror’s proposal, or establishment of ground rules for this competitive procurement, as applicable; (6) an OCI mitigation plan, as applicable; and (7) any additional information the Contracting Officer should consider in making a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists. The Government may independently verify the information received from the Offeror. The requirement to identify potential conflicts of interest as outlined herein continues until contract award. Notwithstanding the above, the Government reserves the right to determine whether a conflict of interest exists based on any information received from any source.

(d) The Government will notify an Offeror of any conflict of interest within 14 days of receipt of all required information. Those Offerors deemed to have a conflict of interest may be ineligible for award. Failure to provide the information in a timely manner does not waive the Government's rights to make a conflict of interest determination. The Offeror is notified that if it expends time and money on proposal preparation, such expenditure is at its own risk regardless of whether the Government determines a personal or organizational conflict of interest does or does not exist.

(e) Any potential prime contractor which proposes an individual, subcontractor, or teaming partner later determined to have a conflict of interest and deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition, may not be granted the opportunity to revise its proposal to remove the ineligible individual, subcontractor or teaming partner. The Government reserves the right to determine which Offerors remain in the competitive range through the normal source selection process.

(f) If the Offeror determines that a potential organizational and/or personal conflict of interest does not exist at any tier, the Offeror shall include a statement to that effect in its response to this solicitation.
