[1] Professional Service Employees and/or Professional Employee Support Services, as used in this contract, in-cludes administrative, computer, executive, and professional employees as defined in 29 CFR 541.

B-001 TYPE OF CONTRACT

This is a Small Business, Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVOSB), indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract. The contract type for the individual task orders will be Time and Materials (T&M) or Labor Hour (LH) or fixed price depending on the office mission services or supplies needed to be determined at the time of ordering.

B-002 TRAVEL COSTS (TIME-AND-MATERIALS/LABOR-HOUR) (NOV 2008)

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Contractor shall be reimbursed for its reasonable actual travel costs in accordance with its usual accounting practices consistent with FAR Subpart 31.2, specifically FAR 31.205-46. Travel must be directly related to and required for performance of this contract, and authorized in advance and in writing by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). In no event shall costs associated with employee commuting be reimbursable as direct cost under this contract.

(b) Travel costs shall not be burdened with any indirect costs unless specifically allowable in accordance with the Contractor’s usual accounting practices consistent with FAR Subpart 31.2. In no event shall travel costs be burdened with fee/profit.

(c) The Contractor shall include a breakout of all authorized travel expenses, by individual contract employee, as an attachment to their invoices. Administrative support (coordination of travel arrangements, etc.) will be the responsibility of the Contractor.

(d) Should any Contractor personnel be requested to perform in any area which has been determined by the Department of State to be a hazardous duty area, hazardous duty premium pay if and to the extent requested and allowed, will be payable at the same rate as would be given to Department of State direct-hire employees pursu-ant to Chapter 650 of the U.S. Department of State Standardized Regulations (Government Civilians, Foreign Areas). Hazardous duty premium pay shall not be burdened with any indirect costs (e.g. overhead, G and A) or fee/profit.

(e) When local travel between the Contractor employee’s regular place of performance and other locations is specifically authorized by the COR, transportation expenses shall be allowable costs under this contract. For purposes of this clause, local travel means travel within a 50 miles radius of the Contractor employee’s regular place of performance and does not include daily commuting or associated costs.

(f) For travel where use of personal automobile has been specifically authorized by the COR, reimbursement shall be computed on the basis of actual miles traveled from starting point to destination. Other related miscel-laneous expenses, such as tolls and parking fees, incurred in the performance of tasks authorized under this con-tract, will be reimbursed. Car rentals require advance approval of the COR and will be authorized only when consistent with good business practice. Allowable costs shall not exceed the actual cost of renting a compact automobile (a maximum of one for four Contractor personnel), unless extenuating circumstances (e.g., excess baggage) require other arrangements and subsequent COR approval is obtained.

(g) The Government will reimburse the Contractor for Contractor employee’s travel time to or from other au-thorized work locations; except that for labor categories which are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FSLA), a reimbursement will be allowed only for travel during the employee’s regular working hours. The Contractor will not be reimbursed for time spent in stand down or temporary layovers for the convenience of the Contractor by FLSA exempt contractor employees except as authorized by the Federal Travel Regulations.

(h) The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all personnel who will be required to travel outside the United States have current and valid passports. The Contractor shall also be responsible for obtaining any visas required for travel to foreign countries under this contract. The Contractor shall make no direct labor charges for obtaining/maintaining passports and/or visas.

(End of Clause)

B-003 PASSPORTS/VISAS

The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining an up-to-date passport for all personnel who will be required to travel outside the continental United States, Hawaii and Alaska to accomplish work assigned under this contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining any visas required for travel to foreign countries to accomplish work assigned under this contract. The Contractor shall make no direct labor charges for obtaining/maintaining passports and/or visas.

B-004 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM QUANTITIES

The Government shall order at least $3,000 (inclusive of all direct costs, indirect costs, and profit/fee) within the Base Year and for each option year it decides to exercise. The IDIQ base contract award will have Zero funds needed at the time of award. A minimum of one (1) Task or Delivery order will be issued at the rates that are within the fixed rates offered in the base IDIQ award to meet this minimum stipulated.

The maximum ceiling for the contract's period of performance base period plus four (4) option years shall be any quantity or combination of supplies and services not exceeding $60 million (inclusive of all direct costs, in-direct costs, and profit/fee). If the contract reaches the maximum ceiling amount prior to exercising an op-tion year, than those remaining option years will be forfeited. If the contract never reaches the maximum ceil-ing amount then the maximum amount of time within scope of this contract is sixty-six (66) months (which in-cludes up to six additional months 52.217-8 for transition purposes).

B-005 POST HARDSHIP DIFFERENTIAL PAY AND DANGER PAY

Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay, which are forms of incentive compensation, will be generally allowable. If incurred, they shall be allocated separately. However, Government payment of such costs is con-tingent on the Contractor meeting all of the following requirements:

a) Paying Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay is part of the Contractor’s established incentive compensation plan or policy, or employer/employee agreement, pursuant to FAR 31.205-6(f) (Bonuses and In-centive Compensation).

b) Payment of such costs is otherwise consistent with FAR Part 31.

c) Payment will be made only for areas identified as Post Hardship Differential Pay areas and/or Danger Pay areas in Section 920 of the Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR).

d) Payment will be made only for eligible employees. “Eligible employees” are employees:

i. whose country of citizenship is not in the place of performance; and

ii. whose primary residence is in an area not identified in Section 920 of the DSSR, or an area identified in Section 920 of the DSSR with an applicable DSSR percentage that is less than the respective ap-plicable DSSR percentage for the place of performance.

e) Payment for a given workweek for an eligible employee will not exceed the dollar amount resulting from multiplying the applicable DSSR percentage by the employee’s basic compensation for the given workweek.

f) The applicable DSSR percentage will be the DSSR percentage effective at the time of performance.

g) An eligible employee’s basic compensation for a given workweek is the dollar amount attributable to the employee as a result of the employee’s productive hours and paid-time-off (e.g., sick, vacation, holiday) hours for the given workweek. It is the employee’s base salary/unloaded compensation for the given workweek.

However, such compensation must:

i. benefit the contract; and/or

ii. be an equitable amount that is necessary to the overall operation of the business, although a direct relationship to any particular cost objective (e.g., contract) cannot be shown.

h) The number of hours included in an eligible employee’s basic compensation for a given workweek cannot exceed the number of hours in the employee's normal workweek. A normal workweek is defined as 40 hours.

i) Basic compensation will consist of actual incurred base salary/unloaded compensation.

j) An eligible employee may receive Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay during paid-time-off only when the employee takes paid-time-off in the place of performance or in another Post Hardship Differen-tial Pay and Danger Pay area, respectively. When an eligible employee takes paid-time-off in another Post Hardship Differential Pay and/or Danger Pay area, payment will be based on the applicable DSSR percentage(s) for the place of performance.

k) Payment of Post Hardship Differential Pay for an eligible employee will not commence until the eligible employee has served 42 calendar days in the place of performance. Payment will commence on the first pro-ductive or non-productive day after day 42, and not be retroactive for the previous days. The 42 calendar days are not required to be consecutive, and “served” consists of productive time, paid-time-off, and time otherwise spent in the place of performance.

l) Payment of Post Hardship Differential Pay for an eligible employee will conclude when the eligible em-ployee departs the place of performance, unless such departure is to another Post Hardship Differential Pay area during paid-time-off.

m) For Post Hardship Differential Pay, when an eligible employee has not yet served 42 calendar days and re-turns to the place of performance after an absence from the place of performance, the number of days served re-sumes on the day of return. For example, if an eligible employee served 30 calendar days in the place of per-formance and departed the place of performance for 14 days, the day of return (day 44) will be considered day 31 of days served.

n) Payment of Danger Pay for an eligible employee will commence on the day of arrival in the place of per-formance and conclude on the day of departure from the place of performance, unless such departure is to an-other Danger Pay area during paid time off.

E-001 PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

The Government reserves the right, at all reasonable times, and upon reasonable notice to the Contractor or Subcontractor, to inspect or otherwise evaluate the work performed or being performed at the location at which it is being performed. If any inspection or evaluation is made by the Government on the premises of the Con-tractor, or a Subcontractor, the Contractor shall provide all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of the Government's representatives in the performance of their duties. All inspections and evalu-ation by the Government's representatives shall be performed in such a manner as will not unduly delay work.

The Government will endeavor to conduct all audits, inspection and evaluations in accordance with the highest levels of established professional auditing practices and standards. If a written report of such inspection or eval-uation is prepared which reflects deficiencies or proposed corrective actions to be taken by the Contractor, or Subcontractor, a copy of those deficiencies and or proposed corrective actions shall be furnished to the Con-tractor. Any corrective action proposed to be taken as a result of such inspection(s) shall be discussed with the Government prior to implementation.

The Government will perform those quality assurance procedures that may be necessary to verify that perform-ance is in accordance with the terms of the contract and its task orders. Government quality assurance will be performed routinely by the Contracting Officer's Representative; however other activities may be called upon to support this effort as required. The Contracting Officer's Representative or designated quality assurance evalu-ators will record all surveillance observations and will maintain a file of all inspection results. Successive months of unsatisfactory performance may result in other appropriate actions(s) by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the Inspection clauses, including Termination for Default.

E-003 METHODS OF SURVEILLANCE

The Government may use a variety of surveillance methods to evaluate the Contractor's performance. These in-clude, but are not limited to, random sampling of recurring services, periodic surveillance of the Contractor's quality control program and audit of financial statements and customer complaints.
