DHS Class HSAM Deviation, Limitation of Government’s Obligation

The following clause provides for incremental funding and is a deviation to HSAM 3032.702(e).

It is applicable during the event of a continuing resolution to fund government operations enacted by Congress until the regular appropriation is enacted. It would be applicable in this event during the base or any subsequent option years. In addition, written notice will provided in specific contract modifications.

(a) Contract line item(s) listed below are incrementally funded or fully funded as shown in the below table. For these item(s), the sum of $ * of the total price is presently available for payment and allotted to this contract. This funding table will be updated in each contract action that provides additional funds, if any.

CLIN CLIN Price Currently Allotted Funding

Funds Required for Complete Funding

(b) For item(s) identified in paragraph (a) as not fully funded, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement of authorized termination costs in the event of termination of those item(s) for the Government’s convenience, does not exceed the total amount currently allotted to the items not fully funded under the contract. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work on those item(s) beyond that point. The total amount payable by the Government in the event of such termination of those contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) above includes costs, profit, and estimated/negotiated termination settlement costs for those item(s). The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the line items of the contract regardless of anything to the contrary in any other clause, such as the clause entitled “Termination for Convenience of the Government” or paragraph (l) entitled “Termination for the Government’s Convenience” of the clause at FAR 52.212-4, “Commercial Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items.”

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (i) of this requirement, the Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least __thirty__ 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. 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 contract. 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 authorizing termination for the convenience of the government, such as the clause entitled “Termination for Convenience of the Government” or paragraph (l) entitled “Termination for the Government’s Convenience” of the clause at FAR 52.212-4, “Commercial Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items.”

(d) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a), 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) will apply in like manner to the additional allotted funds and agreed substitute date, and the contract will be modified accordingly.

(e) 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).

(f) The termination provisions of paragraphs (a) through (i) do not limit the rights of the Government under the clause entitled “Default” or “Termination for Cause.” 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). This clause no longer applies once the contract is fully funded.

(g) 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” or paragraph (l) entitled “Termination for the Government’s Convenience” of the clause at FAR 52.212-4, “Commercial Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items.”

(h) Nothing in this clause shall be construed as authorization of voluntary services whose acceptance is otherwise prohibited under 31 U.S.C. 1342.

(i) The parties contemplate that the Government will allot funds to this contract from time to time as the need arises and as funds become available. There is no fixed schedule for providing additional funds.

Contractor Performance Evaluations.

(1) In accordance with FAR Subpart 42.15, Contractor Performance Information, the Contractor's performance may be evaluated throughout the contract (and task/delivery order) period of performance. The results will be compiled and reported in a Contractor Performance Report for use by this agency and other government agencies for future source selection decisions. The report will be compiled jointly by the COR and the KO. The KO will forward the report to the Contractor for comments. In the case of a contract with option years/ordering periods, interim reports will be completed.

(2) The areas to be evaluated include, but are not limited to: Quality, Schedule, Cost Control, Management, Utilization of Small Business, and Regulatory Compliance.

(3) Each area may be evaluated using the following scale: Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal and Unsatisfactory.

(4) The Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) may be used for all performance evaluations. Copies of the reports will be maintained in the CPARS database and in hard copy in the official contract file.

(5) The results of the report will be provided to the Contractor who will be given a period of sixty (60) days to provide comments. All comments will be considered by the KO and reviewed in accordance with FAR 42.1503. The report will be marked "Source Selection Information" and safeguarded ‘for official use only’ in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 3.104.

Since there is a limitation of 2000 characters for each area evaluated, there may be an occasion that all evaluations and comments be manually addressed and maintained in the official contract file. If this is the case, each area will be annotated to contact the cognizant KO for all evaluation documentation.

Contractor’s Releases.

The Government will require the Contractor to complete Contractor’s Releases (DHS Form 700- 3 or an equivalent form) at the completion of the contract.

Licenses and Permits.
