G-3 INFORMATIONAL SUBLINE ITEMS

It is anticipated that the research and development services performed under this contract will be paid for from multiple sources of funds. Informational subline items will be established as necessary to identify each accounting citation classification.

G-4 PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR MULTIPLE ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION CITATIONS

(COST REIMBURSEMENT)

The following payment instructions will be incorporated into resultant task orders when paid via multiple ACRNs and deemed applicable:

In accordance with PGI 204.7108, clauses 252.204-0001 through 0011 are not applicable to this contract; therefore, use PGI 204.7108(d)(12) Other and pay as follows: If there is more than one ACRN within a contract line item, the payment office will make payment using the ACRN(s) cited on the contractor's invoice. The non-standard clause

(d)(12) "Other" provides a significantly better reflection of how funds will be expended in support of contract performance. One sponsor's funds cannot be used to fund another sponsor’s program.

Based on the type of work contracted for on behalf of DOD/Navy customers, payment by CLIN/SLIN/ACRN is significantly important and using any of the payment method specified in the table identified in PGI 204.7108(b)(2) would result in the funding resources of one customer being paid for work received by another customer. The contractor completes the effort in a fluid environment; therefore, in order to accurately track and account for funding expenditures in accordance with the specific tasking associated with each funding line, payment instruction (d)(12) "Other" applies as expenditures must reflect the actual work performed, in alignment with the type of funding to avoid violations to the Anti-Deficiency Act.

Payment shall be made in accordance with the Contracting Officer/DCAA approved billing whereby the contactor shall include identification of the CLIN, SLIN, and ACRN on each invoice. This will allow for appropriate contractor invoicing based on the unique customer requirement funding and Contracting Officer's instructions. This approach also allows for proper matching of the charge to the activity that have received the service/product with the application of the payment to the corresponding entity.

G-5 TECHNICAL DIRECTION MEMORANDUM (TDM)

(a) For the purposes of this clause, technical direction includes the following:

(1) Direction to the Contractor which shifts work emphasis between work areas or tasks, requires pursuit of certain lines of inquiry, fills in details or otherwise describes work which will accomplish the objectives described in the statement of work;

(2) Guidelines to the Contractor, which assist in interpretation of drawings, specifications or technical portions of, work description.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

H-1 PROVISIONS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE AT TASK ORDER LEVEL

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

H-2 KEY PERSONNEL

(a) The Contractor agrees to assign to the contract tasks those persons whose resumes were submitted with its proposal and who are necessary to fulfill the requirements of the contract as "key personnel". No substitutions may be made except in accordance with this clause.

(b) The Contractor understands that during the first ninety (90) days of the contract performance period, no personnel substitutions will be permitted unless these substitutions are unavoidable because of the incumbent's sudden illness, death or termination of employment. In any of these events, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer and provide the information described in paragraph (c) below. After the initial ninety (90) day period the Contractor must submit to the Contracting Officer all proposed substitutions, in writing, at least thirty (30) days in advance (sixty (60) days if security clearance must be obtained) of any proposed substitution and provide the information required by paragraph (c) below.

(c) Any request for substitution must include a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitution, a resume for the proposed substitute, and any other information requested by the Contracting Officer. Any proposed substitute must have qualifications equal to or superior to the qualifications of the incumbent. The Contracting Officer or his/her authorized representative will evaluate such requests and promptly notify the Contractor of his/her approval or disapproval thereof.

(d) In the event that any of the identified key personnel cease to perform under the contract and the substitute is disapproved, the contract may be immediately terminated in accordance with the Termination clause of the contract.

(e) Named key personnel will be identified at the task order level.

H-3 LEVEL OF EFFORT

(a) In the performance of each term form Task Order (TO) issued under this contract, the Contractor agrees to provide the level of effort specified in the TO and in accordance with this provision.

(b) It is understood and agreed that the rate of direct labor hours expended each month may fluctuate in pursuit of the technical objective, provided such fluctuation does not result in the use of the total hours of effort prior to the expiration of the term of the TO. The Contractor is required to notify the Contracting Officer when 85% of the total level of effort of the TO has been expended.

(c) If, during the term of the TO, the Contractor finds it necessary to accelerate the expenditure of direct labor under the TO to such an extent that the total hours of effort specified would be used prior to the expiration of the term, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing setting forth the acceleration required, the probable benefits which would result, and an offer to undertake the acceleration at no increase in the estimated cost or fixed fee together with an offer setting forth a proposed level of effort, cost breakdown, and proposed fixed-fee for continuation of the work until expiration of the term of the TO.

Any actual or suspected unauthorized use, disclosure, release, or reproduction of protected data or violation of this agreement, of which the company or any employee is or may become aware, shall be reported promptly (within one business day after discovery and confirmation) to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

H-7 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

(a) Definitions.

The term “contractor” includes the Contractor and its employees, affiliates, marketing consultants (if any), consultants, and subcontractors at all tiers.

“Organizational Conflict of Interest” (“OCI”) 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. FAR 2.101. An OCI may result when (1) activities or relationships create an actual or potential conflict of interest related to the performance of the Statement of Work (SOW) of this Contract; or, (2) when the nature of the SOW on this Contract creates an actual or potential conflict of interest with respect to the Contractor in relation to a future acquisition.

“Marketing consultant,” means any independent contractor who furnishes advice, information, direction, or assistance to an offeror or any other contractor in support of the preparation or submission of an offer for a Government contract by that offeror. An independent contractor is not a marketing consultant when rendering— (1) Services excluded in FAR Subpart 37.2; (2) Routine engineering and technical services (such as installation, operation, or maintenance of systems, equipment, software, components, or facilities); (3) Routine legal, actuarial, auditing, and accounting services; and (4) Training services.

(b) In accordance with the guidance in FAR Subpart 9.5, the Contracting Officer has determined that potentially significant organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs) could result if the Contractor is allowed to participate (at any level) in future Federal Government acquisitions that include requirements that may be established or affected by the performance of the SOW by the Contractor under this Contract.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the Contractor may be ineligible (unless expressly exempted as provided in FAR Part 9.5) to act as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or consultant or subcontractor to any prime contractor or subcontractor at any tier, for any future requirements (for services, systems, or components of systems) procured by any Federal Government activity where the Contractor, in performance of the SOW under this Contract, has provided or is providing support (as described in FAR 9.505-1 through 9.505-4) that establishes or affects future requirements or may affect the future competition.

(d) The contracting officer responsible for securing future requirements, in his/her sole discretion, may make a determination to exempt the Contractor from ineligibility as described in subparagraph (c) above provided the Contractor submits an acceptable mitigation plan.

(1) Items for consideration in a mitigation plan include the following: identification of the organizational conflict(s) of interest; a reporting and tracking system; an organizational conflict of interest compliance/enforcement plan, to include employee training and sanctions, in the event of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information; a plan for organizational segregation (e.g., separate reporting chains);

data security measures; and, non-disclosure agreements.

(2) The Government's determination regarding the adequacy of the mitigation plan or the possibility of mitigation is a unilateral decision made solely at the discretion of the Government and is not subject to the Disputes clause of the contract. The Government may terminate the contract for default if the Contractor fails to implement and follow the procedures contained in any approved mitigation plan.

(3) Nothing contained herein shall preclude the contracting officer in future Federal Government acquisitions from making his/her own determination as to whether an OCI exists and whether any such OCI has been successfully mitigated.

(e) The Contractor shall apply this clause to any subcontractors or consultants who: have access to proprietary information received or generated in the performance of this Contract; and/or, who participate in the development of data, or participate in any other activity related to this Contract which is subject to the terms of this clause at the prime contractor level.

(f) The Contactor agrees that it and its subcontractors at all levels shall use reasonable diligence in protecting proprietary data/information that is received or generated in performance of this Contract in accordance with this clause and any other clause of this Contract pertaining to the nondisclosure of information. The Contractor further agrees that neither it nor its subcontractors will willfully disclose proprietary data/information that is received or generated in the performance of this Contract without the prior permission of the Contracting Officer, and that proprietary information shall not be duplicated, used or disclosed, in whole or part, for any purpose other than to accomplish the work required by the Contract.

(g) The Contractor and its Subcontractors at all levels shall inform their employees that they are required to comply with the applicable requirements and restrictions contained in: restrictive markings applicable to data/information that they receive or generate in the performance of this Contract; FAR Subpart 9.5 pertaining to actual or potential OCIs; FAR 3.104 pertaining to requirements and restrictions under the Procurement Integrity Act; and, Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7000 pertaining to “Disclosure of Information.”

(h) The Contractor agrees to enter into written agreements with all companies whose proprietary data it shall have access to and to protect such data from unauthorized use or disclosure as long as it remains proprietary.

The Contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer copies of these written agreements. The Contractor agrees to protect the proprietary data and rights of other organizations disclosed to the Contractor during performance of this Contract with the same caution that a reasonably prudent Contractor would use to safeguard its own highly valuable property. The Contractor agrees to refrain from using proprietary information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished.

(i) The Contractor shall not distribute reports, data or information of any nature received or arising from its performance under this Contract, except as provided by this Contract or as may be directed by the Contracting Officer.

(j) The Contractor agrees that if in the performance of this Contract it discovers a potential OCI, a prompt and full disclosure shall be made in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a description of the actions the Contractor has taken, or proposes to take, to avoid or mitigate such conflicts.
