ADDENDUM TO SPECIFICATION

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 give 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.

The authorized representative as indicated hereinafter:

_______The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will be designated by the Contracting Officer as the authorized representative of the Contracting Officer.

b. Recourse to the Joint Committee for Conciliation for resolving disputes is available in addition to the procedures set forth in the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 and the Disputes Clause of this contract, 52.233-1.

4. FAR PROVISION 52.229-11 AND FAR CLAUSE 52.229-12

FAR provision 52.229-11 and FAR clause 52.229-12 are included in this solicitation. 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/quotation/bid/proposal, 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/quotation/bid/proposal, 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:

N4008426Q1003

Line 7 Name and address of the acquiring agency:

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:

Offerors are responsible for submitting files in the format specified consistent with requirements stated elsewhere in this solicitation. Files that cannot be opened, or are otherwise missing the required content are the responsibility of Offerors.

It is an Offeror's responsibility, when transmitting its quotation electronically, to ensure the quotation's timely delivery by transmitting the quotation sufficiently in advance of the time set for receipt of quotations to allow for timely receipt by the Government no later than the date and time stated in the solicitation. Offerors shall allow adequate time to upload files, which may be slower for non-DoD users, and to avoid other technical difficulties that may be encountered. An Offeror risks the late receipt and rejection of a quotation where it delays transmitting its quotation until the last few minutes before the time set for receipt of quotations. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to confirm receipt of quotations. Quotations that are received after the stated date and time in the solicitation shall be treated as late submissions and will not be considered except under facts and circumstances allowed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

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 pre-award survey is not a part of the technical evaluation. The Government may make a pre-award survey of an offeror to determine whether such offeror is qualified and capable of performing the contract. The preaward survey will involve examination of the bidder's financial and technical status and understanding of the contract requirements. The following 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 nonresponsibility, may result in rejection.

a. Summary of the Offeror's experience in providing the requested services/supply required by the specifications.

b. Current financial statements and data.

c. Past performance record of prior contracts for similar work, and the names and addresses of individuals with the organization issuing the contract who may be contacted for information concerning the Contractor's performance.

d. The Government intends to evaluate each offeror's past performance history in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) for the Federal supply class (FSC) and product or service code (PSC) of the supplies being purchased, in accordance with DFARS 213.106-2. In the case of a supplier without a record of relevant past performance history in the SPRS for the FSC or PSC of the supplies being purchased, the supplier may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for its past performance history.
