9. VAT RECLAMATION

9.1 The contractor shall follow the invoicing procedures established by INL to allow the U.S.

Embassy Mexico to reclaim the IVA/VAT taxes charged. All purchases made in Mexico are subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) and must be paid by the Contractor. VAT, or “IVA” as it is known in Mexico, must be itemized in all invoices. Before the Contractor may impose and collect VAT on its “tax-relief invoices,” the Contractor is required to obtain a VAT Registration Identification Number from the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (aka Hacienda). The contractor will provide the necessary invoicing to enable the USG to obtain reimbursement for VAT. This tax relief benefit is extended only to the U.S. Government – not the Contractor – as a diplomatic privilege. The current tax-relief invoicing requirements are outlined in the paragraphs below. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract, in the event the Government of Mexico revises the requirements the Contractor shall follow the new requirements as soon as the Contracting Officer (CO) notifies the Contractor in writing of the new requirements.

9.2 The Contractor is responsible for providing the following list of items on every “tax-relief” invoice presented to the U.S. Government for payments associated with the in-country purchases of goods, materials or services required to perform this contract. Every invoice the Contractor delivers to the U.S. Government must be an original. The failure of the Contractor to follow these procedures will result in the U.S. Government’s inability to secure tax relief on this project, resulting in reimbursement being denied to the contractor.

Invoices for the in-country purchases described above must not include other charges, such as “work completed” or design costs. Such invoices will list separately or collectively the pre-tax price of any supplies or services provided in country. As is required by local authorities, the Contractor will impose the appropriate tax rate against the pre-tax total of the purchases represented on the tax-relief invoice. The Contractor will submit the invoices associated with such purchases as supporting documentation for its in-country payment request. The USG will only compensate the Contractor for the tax amount provided on such invoices. VAT on items such as contractor personnel housing, personal vehicles, utilities, phone charges, per diem, etc. are excluded from reimbursement.

9.3 The contractor’s tax-relief invoices shall provide the following:

Contractor’s name and address Contractor’s Federal Tax Registry Number (RFC) (aka Certificate of Fiscal

Identification) Photo image of Federal Tax Registry card (aka Certificate of Fiscal Identification) on the invoice Invoice number and complete transaction date (month, day, and year). Also needed is the date and place of issue (lugar y fecha de expedición). The two dates must be the same

Required legal wording that addresses the illegal reproduction of the document. The printing company information must annex the date of printing and official authorization number

TECHNICAL EVALUATION FACTORS

Award may be made to the contractor submitting the lowest priced technically acceptable quote.

The Government intends to award based on initial quotes without clarifications, unless deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer. Evaluation Factors will be judged on a pass/fail basis. A “fail” score on any of the evaluation factors will result in an unacceptable rating for the entire proposal.

(1) Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to do business with or in Israel, with any Israeli business concern, or with any national or resident of Israel, or with any other person, pursuant to an agreement of, or a request from or on behalf of a boycotting country;

(5) Furnishing information about whether any person is a member of, has made contributions to, or is otherwise associated with or involved in the activities of any charitable or fraternal organization which supports the State of Israel; and,

(6) Paying, honoring, confirming, or otherwise implementing a letter of credit which contains any condition or requirement against doing business with the State of Israel.

(3) Complying or agreeing to comply in the normal course of business with the unilateral and specific selection by a boycotting country, or national or resident thereof, of carriers, insurance, suppliers of services to be performed within the boycotting country or specific goods which, in the normal course of business, are identifiable by source when imported into the boycotting country;

(5) Compliance by an individual or agreement by an individual to comply with the immigration or passport requirements of any country with respect to such individual or any member of such individual's family or with requests for information regarding requirements of employment of such individual within the boycotting country; and,

(6) Compliance by a U.S. person resident in a foreign country or agreement by such person to comply with the laws of that country with respect to his or her activities exclusively therein, and such regulations may contain exceptions for such resident complying with the laws or regulations of that foreign country governing imports into such country of trademarked, trade named, or similarly specifically identifiable products, or components of products for his or her own use, including the performance of contractual services within that country, as may be defined by such regulations.
