AC4548 EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND EXERCISES DURING CONTRACT PERFORMANCE
(JUL 2015)
(a) Emergency situations and exercises are temporary exceptions to the prohibition of contractor personnel not being subject to the direction and control of Government personnel when performing non-personal contract services in FAA facilities.
(b) All contractor personnel at a FAA work site or facility during an actual emergency shall conform to the procedures posted or directed by FAA officials responsible for emergency response at that site or facility. Such officials include evacuation wardens/monitors, security personnel, Emergency Readiness Officers, management, etc.
(c) Contractor personnel shall participate in all emergency exercises, including evacuations, as part of performance under this contract. On rare occasions and based on advance arrangements that are then announced at the time of an exercise, contractor personnel will be excused from evacuations.
(d) Contractor management/supervisors shall ensure that each contractor employee assigned work in FAA facilities possesses a general awareness of emergency and evacuation procedures at all locations where the employees might be during an emergency or exercise. Information on emergency procedures may be requested from the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or a designated FAA contact point at the work site.
AC4563 EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND EXERCISES DURING CONTRACT PERFORMANCE
AT THE MIKE MONRONEY AERONAUTICAL CENTER (MMAC) (NOV 2015)
(a) Emergency situations and exercises are temporary exceptions to the prohibition of contractor personnel being subject to the direction and control of Government personnel when performing non-personal contract services in Government facilities.
(b) All contractor personnel at a Government work site or facility during an actual emergency must conform to the procedures posted or directed by Government officials responsible for emergency response at that site or facility.
Such officials include evacuation wardens/monitors, security personnel, Emergency Readiness Officers, management, Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), etc.
(c) Contractor personnel must participate in all emergency exercises, including evacuations, as part of performance under this contract. On rare occasions, based on advance arrangements that are then announced at the time of an exercise, contractor personnel may be excused from evacuations.
(d) Contractor management/site supervisors must ensure that each contractor employee assigned to work in Government facilities possesses a general awareness of emergency and evacuation procedures at all locations where the employees might be during an emergency or exercise. Contractor Management/Site Supervisors are responsible for accounting for their employees during an actual emergency or exercise, and are subsequently required to report this information to their COR as soon as practical based on the situation. Information on emergency procedures may be requested from the COR or a designated Government contact point at the work site.
(e) When there are disruptions to Government operations at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Contractor Management/Site Supervisor should ensure that all employees are aware of the following methods of obtaining the Center’s status:
The Center Status website: https://employees.faa.gov/org/centers/mmac/employee_services/facility_status/
Status Phone number; 954-0040, and local TV/Radio news channels.
(f) If the Center is OPEN during inclement weather, it’s business as usual. Any need for unscheduled leave is between the contractor employee and their contractor management, not the FAA.
(g) When the Center is OPEN with a Delayed Arrival Time, contractors may allow their employees to arrive at the worksite in accordance with the Delayed Arrival Time under which the Center is operating. However, the government will not pay for hours not worked on other than firm fixed price type contracts and discussions on accounting for time on any other contract type should be between Contractor Management/Site Supervisor and COR or CO.
(h) When the Center is CLOSED, contractor employees should not report to the Center unless they have been informed in advance that they are considered ‘mission critical’ employees or their contractor management/site supervisor has provided other direction. The government will not pay for hours not worked on other than firm fixed price type contracts. Any discussions on accounting for time on any other contract type should be between the contractor management/site supervisor and the COR or CO.
(i) If an alternative duty location is activated that includes contractor employees, all contractor employees will be made aware of that location through their contractor management/site supervisor.

Section G - Contract Administration Data Clause List
AC4530 WARRANTY - COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS (JUN 2015)
(a) The contractor warrants that the products (‘products’ includes equipment, fabrication processes, raw or finished materials, and intermediate assemblies) conform to contract requirements. The contractor also warrants that products are free of design defects (except defects in FAA-provided final designs) and defects in materials or workmanship.
(b) The contractor shall replace or repair any products which fail in operation within 12 months from the date of receipt. The Contracting Officer will give written notice of any defect or nonconformance to the contractor within a reasonable period of time after discovery. Replacements of contract items shall be made promptly and on an FOB destination basis. FAA will install replacements at no expense to the contractor.
(c) Products replaced under the provisions of this warranty shall remain the property of FAA unless the contractor wishes to obtain ownership. In this case, the contractor shall notify FAA of such in writing not later than the date of receipt by FAA of the replacement products. The contractor is responsible for packaging and shipping costs.
(d) The rights and remedies of FAA provided in this clause are in addition to and do not limit any rights afforded to FAA by any other clause of this contract or under applicable Federal or State law, including the Uniform Commercial Code.
AC4550 DELIVERIES TO THE MIKE MONRONEY AERONAUTICAL CENTER (MMAC) (JUL
2015)
(a) Security procedures at the MMAC require that all mail, materials, packages or parcels of any kind be delivered to a central screening point, for inspection by the FAA. This affects mail and other deliveries destined for all organizations located on MMAC property, including government organizations, contractors and permit holders.
After passing security inspection, the mail or material may be handled and delivered by the FAA. FAA will make every reasonable effort to conduct inspections and handle items in a careful manner so as to avoid damage or delay.
(b) This inspection is for the benefit of the FAA only. The FAA makes no representation that any material passing inspection is without hazard, poses no threat, or that it conforms in form, fit, function or quantity to the expectations of the intended recipient.
(c) The FAA shall not be liable for any 1) loss, damage or shortage of any mail or materials, 2) injury, or 3) delay in performance resulting from such inspection and handling, unless liable under the Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. 2671-2680).
(d) Any item destined for the contractor that fails to pass inspection remains the property of the contractor, who is responsible for its disposition and coordination with law enforcement agencies as necessary.
Section H - Special Contract Requirements Clause List
3.1.9-1 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND SIGNATURE (JUL 2020)
(a) The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) establishes a legal equivalence between:
(1) Contracts written on paper and contracts in electronic form;
(2) Pen-and-ink signatures and electronic signatures; and
(3) Other legally-required written records and the same information in electronic form.
(b) With the submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges and accepts the utilization of electronic commerce as part of the requirements of this solicitation and the resultant contract.
(c) Certain documents may need to be provided or maintained in original form, such as large-scale drawings impractical to convert to electronic format or a document with a raised seal signifying authenticity. This clause does not change or affect any other requirements that a document must be in paper format to satisfy legal requirements such as for certain real estate transactions.
(d) The use of electronic signature technology is authorized under this solicitation and the resulting contract.
(e) Contractors must not digitally sign any documents with software that uses the Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA- 1). All digitally signed documents and contracts sent to the FAA must use a SHA-256 or higher hash algorithm. This is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Policy Statement on Hash Functions dated August 5, 2015. Further guidance on the use of SHA-256 is in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-57 Part 1, section
5.6.2 as amended and SP 800-131A, Revision 1 dated November 6, 2015. Additional guidance on the use of SHA-3 is in NIST SP 800-185 as amended.
(f) Contractors do not have to update documents previously digitally signed using SHA-1 hash algorithms unless the document requires updating. The FAA and contractors may continue to use SHA-1 for the following applications:
Verifying old digital signatures and time stamps, generating and verifying hash-based message authentication codes (HMACs), key derivation functions (KDFs), and random bit/number generation.
(End of Clause)
AC4555 NOTICE OF CONTRACTOR TESTIMONY (SEP 2006)
(a) The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer promptly in writing of its intention, or the intention of its employees, subcontractors of any tier, or subcontractor employees, either voluntarily or under compulsion of competent authority, to provide sworn testimony on any matter related to or arising under the work required by and/or performed under, this contract. Such written notification at a minimum shall consist of the date and time of the testimony, identification of the court, board, or other body before which the testimony is made, the nature of the testimony to be given to the extent it is known at the time of this report, the nature of the contractor’s involvement in the proceeding and any other circumstances related to the work performed under or related to the contract and the proceeding in which the testimony will be taken.
(b) The contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (b), in all subcontracts executed under this contract and shall require all subcontractors to provide the required report to the contractor.
AC4557 STRIKES OR PICKETING
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Contractor is responsible for delays arising out of labor disputes, including but not limited to strikes, if such strikes are reasonably avoidable. A delay caused by a strike or by picketing which constitutes an unfair labor practice is not excusable unless the Contractor takes all reasonable and appropriate action to end such a strike or picketing, such as the filing of a charge with the National Labor Relations
Board, the use of other available Government procedures, and the use of private boards or organizations for the settlement of disputes.

(C) Capability presentations by persons seeking awards from an agency pursuant to the provisions of a law authorizing such actions;
(2) Professional and technical services.
(i) The prohibition on the use of appropriated funds, in subparagraph (b)(1) of this clause, does not apply in the case of:
(A) A payment of reasonable compensation made to an officer or employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or an extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of a covered Federal action, if payment is for professional or technical services rendered directly in the preparation, submission, or negotiation of submittal/offer or application for that Federal action or for meeting requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving that Federal action.
(B) Any reasonable payment to a person, other than an officer or employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or an extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of a covered Federal action if the payment is for professional or technical services rendered directly in the preparation, submission, or negotiation of any submittal/offer or application for that Federal action or for meeting requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving that Federal action. Persons other than officers or employees of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action include consultants and trade associations.
(ii) For purposes of subdivision (c)(2)(i) of this clause, 'professional and technical services' must be limited to advice and analysis directly applying any professional or technical discipline. For example, drafting of a legal document accompanying a submittal/offer by a lawyer is allowable.
Similarly, technical advice provided by an engineer on the performance or operational capability of a piece of equipment rendered directly in the negotiation of a contract is allowable. However, communications with the intent to influence made by a professional (such as a licensed lawyer) or a technical person (such as a licensed accountant) are not allowable under this section unless they provide advice and analysis directly applying their professional or technical expertise and unless the advice or analysis is rendered directly and solely in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action. Thus, for example, communications with the intent to influence made by a lawyer that do not provide legal advice or analysis directly and solely related to the legal aspects of his or her client's submittal/offer, but generally advocate one proposal over another are not allowable under this section because the lawyer is not providing professional legal services.
Similarly, communications with the intent to influence made by an engineer providing an engineering analysis prior to the preparation or submission of a submittal/offer are not allowable under this section since the engineer is providing technical services but not directly in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action.
(iii) Requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving a covered Federal award include those required by law or regulation and any other requirements in the actual award documents.
(iv) The reporting requirements herein must not apply with respect to payments of reasonable compensation made to regularly employed officers or employees of a person.
(3) Only those communications and services expressly authorized by paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this clause are permitted under this clause.
(d) Disclosure.
(1) If the Contractor, who requests or receives from an agency a Federal contract, has made or has agreed to make any payment using non-appropriated funds (to include profits from any Covered Federal action), to any person for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any Agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress on his or her behalf in connection with a Covered Federal action, the Contractor must file with that agency a disclosure form, OMB Standard Form LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities..
(2) The Contractor must file a disclosure form at the end of each calendar quarter in which there occurs any event that materially affects the accuracy of the information contained in any disclosure form previously filed by such person under subparagraph (d)(1) of this clause. An event that materially affects the accuracy of the information reported includes:
(i) A cumulative increase of $25,000 or more in the amount paid or expected to be paid for influencing or attempting to influence a covered Federal action; or
(ii) A change in the person(s) or individual(s) influencing or attempting to influence a covered Federal action; or
(iii) A change in the officer(s), employee(s), or Member(s) contacted to influence or attempt to influence a covered Federal action.
(3) The Contractor must require the certification, and if required, a disclosure form by any person who requests or receives any subcontractor exceeding $150,000 under the Federal contract.
(4) All subcontractor disclosure forms must be forwarded from tier to tier until received by the prime Contractor. The prime Contractor must submit all disclosures to the Contracting Officer at the end of the calendar quarter in which the disclosure form is submitted by the subcontractor.
(e) Agreement. The Contractor agrees not to make any payment prohibited by this clause.
(f) Penalties.
(1) Any person who makes an expenditure prohibited under paragraph (b) of this clause or fails to file or amend the disclosure form to be filed or amended by paragraph (b) must be subject to civil penalties as provided for by 31 U.S.C. 1352. An imposition of a civil penalty does not prevent the Government from seeking any other remedy that may be applicable.
(2) Contractors may rely without liability on the representations made by their subcontractors in the certification and in the disclosure form.
(g) Cost allowability. Nothing in this clause makes allowable or reasonable any costs which would otherwise be unallowable or unreasonable. Conversely, costs made specifically unallowable by the requirements in this clause will not be made allowable under any other provision.

The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:
(1) Company legal business name.

To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(2) The Contractor must not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims. Assignees must be separately registered in the SAM database.
