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 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: N4008425B7008

Line 7 Name and address of the acquiring agency: NAVFAC FE, PWD Misawa

City or town, state or province. Include postal code where appropriate: : Bldg. 987, Misawa Air Base, 1-chome, Hirahata, Misawa-shi, Aomori-ken, Japan 033-0012

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

1.20 CANCELLATION OF SOLICITATION: The Government reserves the right to cancel all invitations and/or reject all bids before award if the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) later determines it to be necessary. The procedures in FAR 14.404 shall be followed. In addition, if the PCO determines that an invitation for bids should be canceled and that use of negotiations is in the Government's best interest, the PCO may negotiate and make award without issuing a new solicitation provided the provisions set forth at FAR 14.404-1(f) are met.

1.21 PRE-AWARD SURVEY: FAR 9.104 requires prospective contractors to demonstrate, among other things, that they have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or ability to obtain them, capability to comply with the required performance schedule, a satisfactory performance record, and be otherwise eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.

The followings are examples of the information that, upon request, the offeror shall be required to provide in writing to the pre-award survey team.

Requested information shall be forwarded within three days of request. Failure to provide requested information, or a determination, after review of the information, of the offeror's non- responsibility, may result in rejection.
