(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

(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.

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.

It is the contractor’s responsibility to keep this contact information current.

9. 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.

10. MAXIMUM NOT TO EXCEED (NTE) AND MINIMUM GUARANTEE

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.

TAX INFORMATION

FAR PROVISION 52.229-11 AND FAR CLAUSE 52.229-12

In accordance with FAR 29.402-3, Tax on certain foreign procurements, FAR provision 52.229-11 and FAR clause 52.229-12 are included in solicitations, including solicitations using part 12 procedures for the acquisition of commercial products and commercial services. Solicitation means any request to submit offers or quotations to the Government. Acquisition means acquiring by contract, Task Order (TO), or Delivery Order (DO), supplies or services (including construction) for the use of the Federal Government. The base contract will incorporate the clause FAR 52.229-12, if the contractor has indicated that it is a foreign person in solicitation provision FAR 52.229-11. All TOs or DOs issued off the base contract will also incorporate the provision and clause unless one of the following exceptions applies:

(1) Acquisitions using simplified acquisition procedures that do not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (as defined in 2.101).

(2) Emergency acquisitions using the emergency acquisition flexibilities defined in FAR Part 18.

(3) Acquisitions using the unusual and compelling urgency authority per 6.303-2.

(4) Contracts with a single individual for personal services that will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold on an annual calendar year basis for all years of the contract.

(5) Acquisitions if the requiring activity identifies that the requirement is for certain foreign humanitarian assistance contracts which are payments made by the U.S. Government agencies pursuant to a contract with a foreign contracting party to obtain goods or services described in or authorized under 7 U.S.C.

1691, et seq., 22 U.S.C. 2151, et seq., 22 U.S.C 2601 et seq., 22 U.S.C. 5801 et seq., 22 U.S.C. 5401 et seq., 10 U.S.C. 402, 10 U.S.C. 404, 10 U.S.C. 407, 10 U.S.C. 2557, and 10 U.S.C. 2561.

This provision and clause concern the imposition of a 2 percent Federal excise tax withholding on any resultant contract award or payment request. This rule applies to Federal Government contracts for goods or services that are awarded to foreign persons. It implements the Department of the Treasury final regulations published in the Federal Register at 81 FR 55133 on August 18, 2016, under section 5000C of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the 2 percent tax on payments made by the U.S. Government to foreign entities pursuant to certain contracts.

Exemptions from this excise tax must be claimed by an Offeror when it submits, with its offer, a U.S. Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available via the internet at www.irs.gov/w14. If not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent on each payment.

Failure to submit IRS Form W-14 with a payment request will also result in an automatic withholding of 2 percent from the payment request.

When filling out the IRS Form W-14 the following information may be used to complete Part I, Line 6 and 7:

Line 6 Contract / reference number: N4008423R6301 Line 7 Name and address of the acquiring agency: Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Far East City or town, state or province. Include postal code where appropriate: Bldg. 200, 2nd Floor, Hirase-Cho, Sasebo-shi, Nagasaki-ken 857-0056 Country (do not abbreviate): Japan

Any exemption claimed and self-certified is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes concerning this tax are adjudicated by the IRS because the Section 5000C tax is a tax matter not a contract issue.

Offerors are encouraged to seek guidance from their own tax, legal, or accounting professionals for advice concerning the provision, clause, and the execution/submission of IRS Form W-14. Additional information is also available at:

https://www.navfac.navy.mil/navfac_worldwide/pacific/fecs/far_east/about_us/contractors_information.html

Offerors are advised to consult Title 26 U.S.C. 5000C and its implementing regulations at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1 through 1.5000C-7 (see FAR 29.402-3, 31.205-41(b)(8)) for specific details and/or updates.
