Clause List

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.

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.

3.1.7-6 DISCLOSURE OF CERTAIN EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIPS (JAN 2019)

(a) The policy of the FAA is to avoid doing business with contractors, subcontractors, and consultants who have a conflict of interest or an appearance of a conflict of interest. The purpose of this policy is to maintain the highest level of integrity within its workforce and to ensure that the award of procurement contracts is based upon fairness and merit.

(b) The contractor must provide to the Contracting Officer the following information with its proposal and must provide an information update within 30 days of the award of a contract, any subcontract, or any consultant agreement, or within 30 days of the retention of a Subject Individual or former FAA employee subject to this clause:

(1) The names of all Subject Individuals who:

(i) participated in preparation of proposals for award; or

(ii) are planned to be used during performance; or

(iii) are used during performance; and

(2) The name of each individual, retained in any capacity by the contractor, who was employed by FAA during the five-year period immediately prior to the date of award; and

(3) The date on which the initial expression of interest in a future financial arrangement was discussed with the contractor by any former FAA employee whose name is required to be provided by the contractor pursuant to subparagraph (2); and

(4) The location where any Subject Individual or former FAA employee whose name is required to be provided by the contractor pursuant to subparagraphs (1) and (2), are expected to be assigned.

(c) "Subject Individual" means a current FAA employee's father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, spouse of an in-law, or a member of his/her household.

(d) The contractor must incorporate this clause into all subcontracts or consultant agreements awarded under this contract and must further require that each such subcontractor or consultant incorporate this clause into all subcontracts or consultant agreements at any tier awarded under this contract unless the Contracting Officer determines otherwise.

(e) The information as it is submitted, must be certified as being true and correct. If there is no such information, the certification must so state.

(f) Remedies for nondisclosure: The following are possible remedies available to the FAA should a contractor misrepresent or refuse to disclose or misrepresent any information required by this clause:

(1) Termination of the contract.

(2) Exclusion from subsequent FAA contracts.

(3) Other remedial action as may be permitted or provided by law or regulation or policy or by the terms of the contract.

(g) Annual Certification. The contractor must provide annually, based on the anniversary date of contract award, the following certification in writing to the Contracting Officer:

ANNUAL CERTIFICATION OF DISCLOSURE OF CERTAIN EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIPS

The contractor represents and certifies that to the best of its knowledge and belief that during the prior 12 month period:

[ ] A former FAA employee(s) or Subject Individual(s) has been retained to work under the contract or subcontract or consultant agreement and complete disclosure has been made in accordance with subparagraph (b) of AMS Clause 3.1.7-6.

[ ] No former FAA employee(s) or Subject Individual(s) has been retained to work under the contract or subcontract or consultant agreement, and disclosure required by AMS Clause 3.1.7-6 is not applicable.

Authorized Representative

Company Name

Date

(h) The contractor agrees to include the substance of this clause in all subcontracts awarded under this contract. The Contracting Officer will consider case-by-case exceptions to this requirement for individual subcontracts in the event that: (1) the contractor considers this clause to be inappropriate and unnecessary in the case of a particular subcontract; (2) the contractor provides a written statement affirming absolute unwillingness of a subcontractor to perform, absent some relief from the substance of this prohibition and the reason why; (3) use of an alternate subcontract source would unreasonably detract from the quality of effort; and (4) the contractor provides the Contracting Officer timely written advance notice of these and any other extenuating circumstances.

(End of clause)

3.2.4-34 OPTION TO EXTEND SERVICES (OCT 2019)

The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder must not exceed 6 months.

"Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number" means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

"Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number" means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.)

This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts for the same parent concern.

"Registered in the SAM database" means that the Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the SAM database.

(b)(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee must be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2) The offeror must enter, in Representations, Certifications and Other Statements of Offerors Section of the solicitation, the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the SAM database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number

(i) If located within the United States, by calling Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 or via the Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. 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 the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document. If registered in SAM as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges that they are designated as a SDVOSB by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and this designation appears as such on the Veteran Affairs website, https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov.

(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. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.sam.gov.
