NOTE: This list may not be all-inclusive and the TLS Contractor may be required to furnish other items under the classifications of metals, including nonstandard, non-NSN items. The total number of items required under this contract is indefinite.

h. Contract Minimum/Maximum. For each awardee, the Government guarantees that it will order a quantity of supplies having a minimum dollar value of $50,000.00 during the base period. The aggregate of delivery orders issued during the contract performance for each awardee during the base period will be applied to the minimum guarantee for each awardee. At the time when the aggregate of delivery orders equals or exceeds the guaranteed minimum for the contract, the guaranteed minimum will have been met and the Government's obligations with regard to the guarantee will have been satisfied. There is no guaranteed minimum for the option periods.

The maximum dollar value that can be obligated for a contract awarded under RFP SPE8E4-21-R-0001 is $900,000,000.00, meaning that the cumulative obligations of all orders placed against the contract cannot exceed $900,000,000.00. The maximum of $900,000,000.00 also represents the maximum for the acquisition;

the sum of all orders against all contracts shall not exceed $900,000,000.00.

Note: The Maximum Contract Value is $900,000,000.00. The maximum dollar value of $900,000,000.00 accounts for potential surge and contingency requirements; however, $730,000,000.00 remains the estimated dollar value for the acquisition.

i. Period of Performance. The effective date of this contract will be July 23, 2021 with a base ordering period of two (2) years and two (2) eighteen-month option periods, for a maximum term of five (5) years and final expiration date of July 22, 2026. This contract contains a provision for unilateral option(s) on the part of the Contracting Officer to extend the term of the contract. It should be noted that the base period may include a 60-day implementation period, if needed, after award.

j. Pricing. The PEL unit prices set forth in the Contractor's proposal dated are applicable to the items specified in this contract. The prices for the PEL accepted by the Government are hereby awarded as firm-fixed ceiling prices and are located in Attachment 1. The fixed prices constitute a not to exceed CEILING PRICE for the BASE PERIOD (two-year term) and each OPTION PERIOD (two eighteen-month terms). This contract is awarded on the basis of delivery F.O.B. Destination for all resultant contract delivery orders.

PAGE 16 OF 50 PAGES

Acquisition function closely associated with inherently governmental functions means supporting or providing advice or recommendations with regard to the following activities of a Federal agency:

(6) Administering contracts (including ordering changes or giving technical direction in contract performance or contract quantities, evaluating contractor performance, and accepting or rejecting contractor products or services).

(7) Terminating contracts.

(8) Determining whether contract costs are reasonable, allocable, and allowable.

Covered employee means an individual who performs an acquisition function closely associated with inherently governmental functions and is --

(1) An employee of the contractor; or

(2) A subcontractor that is a self-employed individual treated as a covered employee of the contractor because there is no employer to whom such an individual could submit the required disclosures.

Non-public information means any Government or third-party information that-

(1) Is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S. C.552) or otherwise protected from disclosure by statute, Executive order, or regulation; or

(2) Has not been disseminated to the general public and the Government has not yet determined whether the information can or will be made available to the public.

Personal conflict of interest means a situation in which a covered employee has a financial interest, personal activity, or relationship that could impair the employee's ability to act impartially and in the best interest of the Government when performing under the contract. (A de minimis interest that would not “impair the employee's ability to act impartially and in the best interest of the Government” is not covered under this definition.)

(1) Among the sources of personal conflicts of interest are-

(i) Financial interests of the covered employee, of close family members, or of other members of the covered employee's household;

(ii) Other employment or financial relationships (including seeking or negotiating for prospective employment or business); and

(iii) Gifts, including travel.

PAGE 17 OF 50 PAGES

(2) For example, financial interests referred to in paragraph (1) of this definition may arise from-

(iii) Services provided in exchange for honorariums or travel expense reimbursements;

(iv) Research funding or other forms of research support;

(v) Investment in the form of stock or bond ownership or partnership interest (excluding diversified mutual fund investments);

(vi) Real estate investments;

(vii) Patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property interests; or

(viii) Business ownership and investment interests.

(b) Requirements. The Contractor shall --

(1) Have procedures in place to screen covered employees for potential personal conflicts of interest, by-

(i) Obtaining and maintaining from each covered employee, when the employee is initially assigned to the task under the contract, a disclosure of interests that might be affected by the task to which the employee has been assigned, as follows:

(A) Financial interests of the covered employee, of close family members, or of other members of the covered employee's household.

(B) Other employment or financial relationships of the covered employee (including seeking or negotiating for prospective employment or business).

(C) Gifts, including travel; and

(ii) Requiring each covered employee to update the disclosure statement whenever the employee's personal or financial circumstances change in such a way that a new personal conflict of interest might occur because of the task the covered employee is performing.

(2) For each covered employee --

(i) Prevent personal conflicts of interest, including not assigning or allowing a covered employee to perform any task under the contract for which the Contractor has identified a personal conflict of interest for the employee that the Contractor or employee cannot satisfactorily prevent or mitigate in consultation with the contracting agency;

(ii) Prohibit use of non-public information accessed through performance of a Government contract for personal gain; and

(iii) Obtain a signed non-disclosure agreement to prohibit disclosure of non-public information accessed through performance of a Government contract.

(iii) To avoid even the appearance of personal conflicts of interest;

(5) Take appropriate disciplinary action in the case of covered employees who fail to comply with policies established pursuant to this clause; and

(6) Report to the Contracting Officer any personal conflict-of-interest violation by a covered employee as soon as it is identified. This report shall include a description of the violation and the proposed actions to be taken by the Contractor in response to the violation. Provide follow-up reports of corrective actions taken, as necessary. Personal conflict-of-interest violations include-

(i) Failure by a covered employee to disclose a personal conflict of interest;

(ii) Use by a covered employee of non-public information accessed through performance of a Government contract for personal gain; and

(iii) Failure of a covered employee to comply with the terms of a non-disclosure agreement.

(c) Mitigation or waiver.

(1) In exceptional circumstances, if the Contractor cannot satisfactorily prevent a personal conflict of interest as required by paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this clause, the Contractor may submit a request through the Contracting Officer to the Head of the Contracting Activity for-

(i) Agreement to a plan to mitigate the personal conflict of interest; or

(ii) A waiver of the requirement.

(2) The Contractor shall include in the request any proposed mitigation of the personal conflict of interest.
