CONSUMPTION TAX EXEMPTION PROCEDURES ON PURCHASE OF GOODS AND SERVICES BY

THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES IN JAPAN [JAPANESE LAW NO. 108, 1988]

(a) The Consumption Tax Law (Law No. 108, 1988) was enacted in the Diet of Japan on 24 December 1988, and applied from April 1, 1989. The Government of Japan (GOJ) and the United States Government (USG), in accordance with paragraph 3, Article XII, of the "Agreement Under Article VI of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation And Security Between Japan And The United States of America Regarding Facilities And Areas And The Status of United States Armed Forces In Japan,” (SOFA) have agreed upon procedures for exempting the United States from the Japanese Consumption Tax on goods and services purchased in Japan for official purposes of the U. S. Armed Forces by the U. S. Armed Forces or its authorized procurement agencies.

(b) The underlying objective is to obtain the full amount of the exemption from the tax on U.S. Forces procurements immediately at the time of purchase and at the same time provide the Contractor a proof of purchase document, acceptable to GOJ tax authorities, which he/she can present to the tax authorities to obtain a tax credit and/or refund for tax already collected and paid by previous sellers.

(c) The exemption from the Japanese Consumption Tax applies not only to prime contractors, but also subcontractors or suppliers at every level regardless of the nationality of the prime contractor whether a Japanese or foreign firm.

(d) By the submission of their offer, the offeror certifies that the Japanese Consumption Tax is not included in the bid/proposal/quote price, nor will it be a part of any subsequent modification to the contract. Procedures for Contractors to obtain a consumption tax credit are described in USFJ Instruction 51-5 that may be obtained from the Procuring Contracting Office.

5. WAIVER OF DEFENSE BASE ACT

The Defense Base Act is currently waived in Japan by the U.S. Department of Labor through March 29, 2026 unless modified, terminated, suspended, or revoked earlier than that date excepting where personnel are U.S. citizens, U.S.

permanent residents, or hired in the U.S. As such, the 52.228-3, Workers' Compensation Insurance (Defense Base Act) does not apply to this requirement while the current waiver is in effect, extended, or a new waiver is issued except where personnel are U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or hired in the U.S. during.

6. CONTRACTOR SUPPORT OF ELECTRONIC CONTRACTING (FEDMALL)

When receiving GCPC orders against Section B, the contractor shall provide the supplies and services at the offered price without additional markup or handling fee.

The contractor agrees to accept and process electronically submitted GCPC orders for IQ services, including those orders issued through the FedMall. The FedMall is a U.S. Government (USG) owned and operated web-based ordering system that enables any Department of Defense (DoD) or Federal activity to search for and order goods and services. Authorized GCPC users will receive approved accounts on FedMall to view and order IQ line items.

The contractor is required to receive electronic IQ orders from the FedMall using 128-bit encrypted email. The contractor agrees to purchase, install, and utilize the most recent version of PGP Personal software, or a comparable solution, for the purpose of decrypting order notification emails from the FedMall. In addition, the DoD has established the External Certification Authority (ECA) program to support the issuance of DoD-approved certificates to contractors. The ECA program is designed to provide the mechanism for contractors to securely communicate with the DoD and authenticate to DoD Information Systems. The contractor agrees to purchase, install, maintain and use a DoD-approved ECA certificate. Information on obtaining an ECA certificate can be found at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca/Pages/certificate.aspx.

The contractor shall post updates on order delivery schedule and performance to the FedMall in a timely manner.

The contractor shall track quantities and report total ordered quantity in FedMall and approved DD 1155's / SF1449’s by line item number each month and year-to-date. The report shall be due to the Contracting Officer by the fifth day of the following month. The contractor must track and report when total dollar value of all orders from both GCPC purchases and DD1155’s / SF1449s exceed 75% of the combined Section B Pre-Priced Line Item quantities.

7. CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (CPARS)

Contractor’s performance will be evaluated using the respective contractor performance evaluation report entry system located on the website http://www.cpars.gov/. Prior to commencement of work the contractor is required to provide the government with the name, phone number and e-mail address of the “Contractor’s Representative” that will be responsible for receipt and review of draft performance evaluations prepared by the government in the appropriate system. It is the contractor’s responsibility to keep this contact information current.

8. ORAL ORDERS

The Government intends to utilize electronic contracting to the maximum extent practical. However, when time does not permit the issuance of written orders on an DD1155 and electronic contracting is not available, the Contracting Officer may issue oral or written telecommunications orders (email). Oral or written telecommunications orders will be confirmed by issuance of a written task order on an DD1155 as soon as practical after issuance of the oral or written telecommunications order.

9. NON-RECURRING WORK CONTRACT LINE ITEM QUANTITIES

Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in accordance with FAR52.216-19.

Issuance of orders orally, by facsimile, or by electronic commerce methods (i.e., email, DoD FedMall, GCPC, Task Orders) are authorized. Contractor shall furnish to the Government, when and if ordered, the supplies or services specified in the Schedule and any accompanying exhibits up to the contract stated maximum.

Additional requirements may be ordered as long as the overall not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of the contract per year is not exceeded and the contractor agrees by signing the task order or modification.

Any amount of the estimated amount under the Non-Recurring Work from the current year may be carried over to the next Option year via issuance of a bilateral modification, so long as the total estimated contract price for all years is not exceeded. ELIN and Sub ELIN rates for the unused capacity carried over to the next option will be consistent with the succeeding option’s rate.

The Order Limitations apply only to the Non-Recurring Work CLINs. There are no Order Limitations for the Recurring Work CLINs since the Government intends to issue a single task order each year for the full price of that year’s Recurring Work CLIN.

10. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION MEETING

As directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor may be required to meet the Government’s Contracting Officer’s Representative, Performance Assessment Representative and other contract management Representatives weekly for the entire contract performance period of the contract with to discuss contract matters. Meetings will be as often as necessary at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. A mutual effort will be made to resolve all problems identified. If written minutes of a meeting are prepared by the Government, the minutes shall be signed by the Contractor’s representative and the Government’s representative. Should the Contractor not concur with the minutes, the Contractor shall state in writing to the Contracting Officer any area of disagreement within five calendar days.

The Government will periodically assess the Contractor’s overall performance on this contract by completing a Contractor Performance Assessment Report System (CPARS) Form. The Government may use this form to evaluate the Contractor more frequently if it becomes necessary. The Contractor will be afforded an opportunity to comment on each evaluation performed when the Government uses the CPARS form. The Contractor has 30 calendar days to submit written comments on unsatisfactory ratings.

The Contractor’s performance will be evaluated using the respective Contractor performance evaluation report entry system located on the website www.cpars.navy.mil. Prior to commencement of work, the Contractor is required to provide the Government with the name, phone number and e-mail address of the “Contractor’s Representative” that will be responsible for receipt and review of draft performance evaluations prepared by the Government. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to keep this contract information current.
