Special Contract Requirements

Special Requirements for Service Contracts

a) Inherently Governmental Functions - No inherently government functions as defined in FAR 2.101 and FAR 7.5 are to be performed by the contractor or contractor personnel performing under this contract.

Contractor employees shall not participate in any deliberations or meetings intended to exercise an inherently governmental function. All final determinations such as binding the United States to take or not to take some action, selecting program priorities, and providing direction to Federal employees shall be made by the government. The contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and the Contracting Officer if performance of an activity would result in the performance of an inherently governmental function.

b) Non-Personal Services Contract - In accordance with FAR 37.101, this contract is a non-personal services contract. Contractor personnel rendering the services shall not be subject, either by the contract's terms or by the manner of its administration, to the continuous supervision and control of a Government officer or employee. The Contractor shall immediately notify the COR and the Contracting Officer if, through contract administration, the actions of a government employee will result in the performance of a personal services contract.

c) Identification of Contractor Personnel - In accordance with DFARS 211.106, contractor personnel shall never identify themselves as representing the Office of Naval Research (ONR), but rather shall identify themselves as being under contract to ONR. To that end, contractor personnel shall

1. Identify themselves as contractor personnel at meetings by introducing themselves or being introduced as contractor personnel;

2. Display distinguishing badges or other visible identification for meetings with Government personnel;

3. Identify themselves as contractor employees in telephone conversations, formal and informal (e.g. email, email signatures) written correspondence, when using fax cover sheets, and on business cards (letterhead, fax cover sheets, and business cards may include the "Office of Naval Research" name, but shall not include the Office of Naval Research logo or any related graphic); and

4. Identify themselves as contractor personnel on office name plates and office space markings.

Contractor's Authorized Point of Contact

(a) The individuals listed below are the contractor's point of contact for the contracting officer to contact regarding any contractual matters on this task order.

Contract Coordinators: To Be Determined at Award

Name: To Be Determined at Award

Phone: To Be Determined at Award

Email: To Be Determined at Award

(b) The contractor shall notify the contracting officer in writing of any changes in the above listed personnel within five (5) business days of the change.

Changes Only By Contracting Officer

a) No order, statement or conduct of Government persons who meet or communicate with the contractor during the performance of this contract shall constitute a change under the "changes" clause of this contract.

b) The contractor shall not comply with any order, direction or request of Government personnel that alters the terms of the contract unless it has been approved in writing and signed by the Contracting Officer.

c) The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to approve changes to any of the requirements of this contract. In the event the contractor effects any change at the direction of any person other than the Contracting Officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in contract price or period of performance to cover any increase in costs incurred as a result thereof.

Personnel Manning and Replacement

a. In accordance with the PWS, the contractor shall provide qualified personnel to execute all aspects of the contract. All personnel must meet or exceed the personnel qualifications of those personnel proposed at the time of proposal submission. Any request for substitution must include a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitution, and any other information requested by the Contracting Officer.

Any proposed substitute must meet the applicable personnel qualifications in Section C. The Contracting Officer or his/her authorized representative shall have 7 business days to review the qualifications of replacement personnel and notify the Contractor in writing of his/her approval or disapproval thereof. Substitutions must be approved in advance. The Contractor may not assign substitute personnel to perform services under this contract without Contracting Officer approval.

b. Notwithstanding paragraph a, the contractor remains at all times obligated to provide all services required by the contract.

Performance Evaluations In Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)

Continual monitoring of performance is one critical element to the success of the task order. Performance evaluation reports will be prepared at the time of final acceptance of work, termination, annually or other times, as appropriate. Performance evaluations are done in CPARS at www.cpars.gov by focusing on elements of quality control, effectiveness of management, timely performance and compliance with safety standards.

If the COR concludes that a contractor's overall performance is less than satisfactory, the contractor shall be advised in writing. Contractors taking exception to the evaluation ratings are encouraged to submit comments in writing within CPARS. If the contractor submits written comments, the COR shall include them in the report, resolve any alleged factual discrepancies, and make appropriate changes to the report. If the contractor's performance is found to be less than satisfactory, actions may warrant the Government to make new arrangements with different suppliers and/or modify existing arrangements.

The prime contractor is responsible for the management, performance and monitoring of all subcontractors who are working on this task order. If a subcontractor's performance is less than satisfactory, the Government expects the prime contractor to take effective actions to correct less than satisfactory performance. Less than satisfactory performance by a subcontractor may reflect adversely on the contractor's performance evaluation within the CPARS system.

Contractor Personnel Termination Policy

It shall be the contractor's responsibility to ensure that terminations of all contractor personnel (Prime and Sub-Labor) are handled off-site in order to avoid disruption to ongoing work functions at ONR Headquarters. Terminated contractor personnel who possess ONR or other government assets shall return all assets to the contractor's Program Manager on their last day of work under the task order. The contractor's Program Manager shall deliver all ONR and other government assets to the ONR Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or Alternate COR no later than three (3) business days after the termination of the contractor's employee.

Organizational Conflict of Interest

a. The parties hereto recognize that the effort to be performed by the Contractor under this contract creates a potential organizational conflict of interest such as is contemplated by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 9.505. Specifically, [explain basis of conflict]. The Contractor will not engage in any contractual undertakings or other activities that could create an organizational conflict of interest with its position under this contract, namely those activities [that might impair its ability to render unbiased advice and recommendations][from which it may derive an unfair competitive advantage as a result of knowledge, information, and experience gained or work undertaken during the performance of this contract]. The Contractor may submit a request to the Contracting Officer to waive the organizational conflict of interest as provided by FAR 9.503 or may submit a mitigation plan to the Contracting Officer for approval to allow participation in a related procurement or other activity. During the term of this contract, including any extensions by change order or supplemental agreement, [and for a period of [state duration] OR and until [state event]] the Contractor agrees that it will not supply the Office of Naval Research (ONR) [add activities as appropriate] under another contract or other arrangement as a prime contractor, subcontractor at any tier, or consultant to a supplier, any services, product, item or major component of an item or product that relates to any of the requirements under this contract or to work performed under them.

b. For the purpose of this clause, the term "Contractor" means the Contractor, its subcontractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, joint ventures involving the Contractor, any entity with which the Contractor may hereafter merge or affiliate, and any other successor of the Contractor.

c. Whenever performance of this contract requires access to another contractor's proprietary information, as required by FAR 9.505-4(b), the Contractor shall (i) enter into a written agreement with the other entities involved, as appropriate, to protect such proprietary information from unauthorized use or disclosure for as long as it remains proprietary and (ii) refrain from using such proprietary information other than as agreed to. An executed copy of all proprietary information agreements by individual personnel or on a corporate basis shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer within fifteen (15) calendar days of execution.

d. The Contractor shall educate its employees through appropriate means on the principles of FAR Subpart 9.5. Such education shall include, but not be limited to, training to ensure that employees refrain from using or disclosing proprietary information except as provided by executed agreement or as allowed by the contract. Further, the Contractor shall obtain from each of its employees, whose anticipated responsibility in connection with the work under this contract may be reasonably expected to involve access to such proprietary information, a written agreement (Attachment 3), which, in substance, shall provide that such employee will not, during his employment with the Contractor or thereafter improperly disclose such data or information.

e. The Contractor shall hold the Government harmless and will indemnify the Government as to any cost or loss resulting from the unauthorized use or disclosure of any third-party proprietary information by its employees, the employees of its subcontractors, or by its agents.

f. For breach of any of the above restrictions or for nondisclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant facts required to be disclosed concerning this contract, the Government reserves the right to terminate this contract for default, disqualify the Contractor from subsequent related contractual efforts, and to pursue any other available legal remedies. If in compliance with this clause, the Contractor discovers and promptly reports an organizational conflict of interest subsequent to contract award, the contracting officer may choose to terminate this contract for the convenience of the government, when such termination is deemed to be in the best interest of the Government.

g. The Contractor will include the same provisions as are expressed in this clause, including this paragraph, in all subcontracts awarded for performance of any portion of this requirement. Subcontract restrictions will be limited, however, to the technical area(s) addressed in the specific statement of work in the subcontractor's contract. The subcontractor shall not participate in any ONR contract in the applicable technical area(s) without written approval of the ONR Contracting Officer. This restriction is applicable throughout the period of performance of the subcontract, and any extensions thereof by change order or supplemental agreement. Use of a subcontractor on this contract is not permitted without prior approval of the ONR Contracting Officer. When the provisions of this clause are included in a subcontract, the term "contracting officer" shall represent the head of the contracting office of the prime contractor. Any deviations or less restrictive coverage deemed necessary or required by the prime contractor for a particular subcontract must first be submitted to the government contracting officer for approval. Subcontractors, on a case-by-case basis, may make a request, through the prime contractor, for a revision to the ONR OCI clause restrictions outlined above.

As prescribed in 232.706-70, use the following clause:

LIMITATION OF GOVERNMENT'S OBLIGATION (APR 2014)

(a) Contract line item(s) is/are incrementally funded. For this/these item(s), the sum of $ [Contracting Officer insert after negotiations] of the total price is presently available for payment and allotted to this contract. An allotment schedule [Contracting Officer insert after negotiations] is set forth in paragraph (j) of this clause.

(b) For item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement in the event of termination of those item(s) for the Government's convenience, approximates the total amount currently allotted to the contract. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work on those item(s) beyond that point. The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the contract for those item(s) regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government." As used in this clause, the total amount payable by the Government in the event of termination of applicable contract line item(s) for convenience includes costs, profit, and estimated termination settlement costs for those item(s).

(c) Notwithstanding the dates specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause, the Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least ninety days prior to the date when, in the Contractor's best judgment, the work will reach the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 85 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of the applicable item(s). The notification will state (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached and (2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of applicable line items up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds identified in paragraph (j) of this clause, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date. The notification will also advise the Contracting Officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of the item(s) funded pursuant to this clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause or otherwise agreed to by the parties. If after such notification additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the Contractor's notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the Contracting Officer will terminate any item(s) for which additional funds have not been allotted, pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government."

(d) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the parties will agree as to the period of contract performance which will be covered by the funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this clause will apply in like manner to the additional allotted funds and agreed substitute date, and the contract will be modified accordingly.

(e) If, solely by reason of failure of the Government to allot additional funds, by the dates indicated below, in amounts sufficient for timely performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the item(s), or in the time of delivery, or both. Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder will be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause entitled "Disputes."

(f) The Government may at any time prior to termination allot additional funds for the performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause.

(g) The termination provisions of this clause do not limit the rights of the Government under the clause entitled "Default." The provisions of this clause are limited to the work and allotment of funds for the contract line item(s) set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause. This clause no longer applies once the contract is fully funded except with regard to the rights or obligations of the parties concerning equitable adjustments negotiated under paragraphs (d) and (e) of this clause.

(h) Nothing in this clause affects the right of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government."

(i) Nothing in this clause shall be construed as authorization of voluntary services whose acceptance is otherwise prohibited under 31 U.S.C.

1342.

(j) The parties contemplate that the Government will allot funds to this contract in accordance with the following schedule:

On execution of contract $ To Be Determined

(month) (day), (year) $ To Be Determined

(month) (day), (year) $ To Be Determined
