Any Subcontract that results from this Request for Lease Proposal will be determined by the price the Offeror pays for material (without profit applied) plus fully burdened hourly labor rates, multiplied times the number of hours worked.

Offeror shall promptly provide to Buyer information concerning any changes, including additions, in its relevant facts reported, that occur between the time of submission of its proposal and the award of a subcontract or the time the Offeror is notified that it is no longer being considered for an award.

Buyer will review the information submitted and may require additional relevant information or certifications from the Offeror.

All such information, and any other relevant information known to Buyer , will be used to determine whether an award to the Offeror may create an organizational conflict of interest with respect to the Offeror's (1) bias caused by financial, contractual, organizational, or other interests which relate to the work to be performed under the subcontract, resulting in Offeror being unable to render impartial, technically sound, and objective assistance or advice, or (2)obtaining an unfair competitive advantage over other parties. If Buyer determines a conflict exists which would require some action to mitigate an actual or potential conflict of interest that would otherwise represent an unacceptable risk to Buyer, it may, at its sole discretion: (1) impose appropriate terms or conditions necessary to avoid or mitigate the conflict, (2) disqualify the offer, or (3) proceed with an award despite the conflict.

Offeror refusal to submit the representation and/or to provide the disclosure or any additional information requested by Buyer may result in disqualification of the Offeror for an award. Misrepresentation of material facts or other reported information may also result in disqualification. If any such misrepresentation is discovered following award, Buyer may terminate the contract for default or seek other remedies including actions pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1001.

Depending on the nature of the subcontract activities, Offeror may, because of the existence of possible organizational conflicts of interest, propose to exclude specific kinds of work from the Performance Work Statement contained in the original solicitation, unless the solicitation specifically prohibits such exclusion. Any proposed exclusion may be considered by Buyer in the evaluation of proposals but may ultimately determine the proposal to be unacceptable.

No work shall be performed, and Buyer will not authorize work to begin, until representations and disclosure information has been evaluated. Buyer may also, at its option, permit missing representations or disclosure information to be provided by an Offeror at any time during the pre-award process.

In lieu of or in addition to the above and/or when requested by Buyer, Offeror shall provide a certification similar to the following, altered only to reflect the relevant facts:

ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

I hereby certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no facts exist relevant to any past, present, or currently planned interest or activity (financial, contractual, personal, organizational, or otherwise) that relate to the proposed work; and bear on whether the Buyer and the Offeror have a possible conflict of interest with respect to being able to render impartial, technically sound, and objective assistance or advice, or being given unfair competitive advantage.

Subcontractor's Compensation Reporting Guidelines

Upon award of any Subcontractor award of $30,000 or more, and annually thereafter, HMIS as the prime contractor must report the total compensation and names of the Subcontractor’s top five most highly compensated executives if:

(a) In the Subcontractor’s preceding fiscal year, the Subcontractor received:

(i) 80% or more of its annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts), loans, grants (and subgrants) and cooperative agreements, and other forms of Federal financial assistance; and

(ii) $25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts), loans, grants

(and subgrants) and cooperative agreements, and other forms of Federal financial assistance; and

If a Subcontractor in the previous tax year had gross income from all sources under $300,000, the prime contractor does not need to report awards for that subcontractor.

This information will be reported through the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System. The public may view first-tier subcontract award data at http://usaspending.gov.

Executive means officers, managing partners, or any other employees in management positions.

First-tier subcontract means a subcontract awarded directly by the Contractor for the purpose of acquiring supplies or services (including construction) for performance of a prime contract. It does not include the Contractor's supplier agreements with vendors, such as long-term arrangements for materials or supplies that would benefit multiple contracts and/or the costs of which are normally applied to a Contractor’s general and administrative expenses or indirect cost.

Total compensation means the cash and noncash dollar value earned by the executive during the Contractor's preceding fiscal year and includes the following (for more information see 17 CFR 229.402(c)(2)):

(1) Salary and bonus.

(2) Awards of stock, stock options, and stock appreciation rights. Use the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the fiscal year in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 718, Compensation- Stock Compensation.

(3) Earnings for services under non-equity incentive plans. This does not include group life, health, hospitalization or medical reimbursement plans that do not discriminate in favor of executives and are available generally to all salaried employees.

(4) Change in pension value. This is the change in present value of defined benefit and actuarial pension plans.

(5) Above-market earnings on deferred compensation which is not tax-qualified.

(6) Other compensation, if the aggregate value of all such other compensation (e.g., severance, termination payments, value of life insurance paid on behalf of the employee, perquisites, or property) for the executive exceeds $10,000.
