(b) All delivery orders or task orders are subject to the terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of conflict between a delivery order or task order and this contract, the contract shall control.

The current RFO 52.216-18 itself calls for the Government to insert the dates during which orders may be issued; it does not itself establish a 30-day reduction from the contract expiration date.

(End of clause)

RFO 52.216-19 ORDER LIMITATIONS. (OCT 1995)

(a) Minimum order. When the Government requires supplies or services covered by this contract in an amount of less than the quantity for the applicable awarded contract region(s) in the table below, Region Northeast Southeast Southwest West Midwest

Minimum Quantity 24 36 48 24 12 the Government is not obligated to purchase, nor is the Contractor obligated to furnish, those supplies or services under the contract.

(b) Maximum order. The Contractor is not obligated to honor-

Region Northeast Southeast Southwest West Midwest

Maximum Quantity 6,000 7,500 11,000 6,000 2,500

(3) A series of orders from the same ordering office within 270 days that together call for quantities exceeding the limitation in subparagraph (b)(1) or (2) above.

(c) If this is a requirements contract (i.e., includes the Requirements clause at subsection 52.216-21 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)), the Government is not required to order a part of any one requirement from the Contractor if that requirement exceeds the maximum-order limitations in paragraph (b) above.

(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the Contractor shall honor any order exceeding the maximum order limitations in paragraph (b), unless that order (or orders) is returned to the ordering office within seven (7) calendar days after issuance, with written notice stating the Contractor's intent not to ship the item (or items) called for and the reasons.

Upon receiving this notice, the Government may acquire the supplies or services from another source.

(e) IDIQ Minimum Guarantee Requirement

(1) MINIMUM GUARANTEE

The Government guarantees a minimum ordering amount under this Indefinite- Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The Government’s minimum obligation to each awarded Contractor shall be: One (1) construction inspection service or preconstruction meeting, as applicable, at the awarded Contractor’s firm-fixed unit price for the applicable region.

The minimum guarantee represents the Government’s minimum contractual obligation under the IDIQ contract and constitutes consideration for the Contractor’s acceptance of the contract. The Government is not obligated to issue additional orders beyond the minimum guarantee amount.

The minimum guarantee shall be satisfied through issuance of an individual task order or delivery order, as applicable, during the ordering period. If the Government does not issue orders sufficient to meet the minimum guarantee during the contract ordering period, the Contractor’s sole remedy shall be limited to payment of the minimum guaranteed amount.

The Government’s minimum guarantee does not represent an estimate of anticipated workload and does not limit the Government’s ability to order services up to the maximum ordering limitations established in this contract.

(2) ORDERING LIMITATIONS

The Government estimates that it will order services based upon historical inspection demand and the Best Estimated Quantities (BEQs) identified in the Schedule. The BEQs are estimates only and do not obligate the Government to order the estimated quantities.

The minimum and maximum ordering limitations apply to the total quantity of services ordered under this contract. The Government may order any quantity of services between the established minimum guarantee and maximum ordering limitation, subject to the availability of funds and the terms and conditions of this contract.

The Government may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple locations or performance throughout the geographic regions identified in the Schedule.

(End of clause)

RFO 52.216-22 INDEFINITE QUANTITY. (NOV 2025) Alternate II

(a) This is an indefinite-quantity contract for the supplies or services specified, and effective for the period stated, in the Schedule. The quantities of supplies and services specified in the Schedule are estimates only and are not purchased by this contract.

(b) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. The Contractor shall furnish to the Government, when and if ordered, the supplies or services specified in the Schedule up to and including the quantity designated in the Schedule as the maximum. The Government shall order at least the quantity of supplies or services designated in the Schedule as the minimum.

(c) Except for any limitations on quantities in the Order Limitations clause or in the Schedule, there is no limit on the number of orders that may be issued. The Government may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations.

(d) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order. The Government may issue an order before expiration of the ordering period that requires performance to continue after expiration of the ordering period. The Contractor shall perform such order in accordance with its terms through completion, subject to the maximum period of performance specified in this contract.

(e) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order which may include order options to be exercised after the ordering period of this contract but before the end of the period of performance of the order. The contract shall govern the Contractor's and Government's rights and obligations with respect to that order, including options exercised, to the same extent as if the order were completed during the contract's ordering period; provided, that the Contractor shall not be required to make any deliveries under this contract after seven (7) days of a final inspection that was performed within either 1) the contract period of performance, or 2) any extended period of performance under clause

52.217-8 OPTION TO EXTEND SERVICES.

(f) The Government may cancel this contract in whole or in part by providing written notice.

The cancellation will take effect 30 calendar days after the contractor receives the notice of cancellation. No further orders may be issued against the contract, but orders already awarded will be completed unless a termination action is taken against the order.

(g) The Contractor may request to cancel this contract by submitting a written cancellation request to the contracting officer. The cancellation will take effect 30 calendar days after the Government receives the cancellation request, unless the contracting officer informs the contractor, before cancellation is effective, that cancellation is not approved. A contractor who requests cancellation is not eligible for the minimum guarantee. If cancelled, no further orders may be issued against the contract, but orders already awarded will be completed unless a termination action is taken against the order.

(End of clause)

RFO 52.216-32 TASK-ORDER AND DELIVERY-ORDER OMBUDSMAN. (SEP 2019)

(a) In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 4106(g), the Agency has designated the following task-order and delivery-order Ombudsman for this contract.

(b) Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timeline for any other process (e.g., protests).

(c) Before consulting with the Ombudsman, the Contractor is encouraged to first address complaints with the Contracting Officer for resolution. When requested by the Contractor, the Ombudsman may keep the identity of the concerned party or entity confidential, unless prohibited by law or agency procedure.

(End of clause)

RFO 52.217-8 OPTION TO EXTEND SERVICES (NOV 1999)

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 because 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 shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor no later than 10 days prior to the expiration of the contract.

(End of Clause)

(TANGIBLE AND ELECTRONICALLY STORED INFORMATION (ESI) FORMATS)

(DEC 2012)

a) For the purposes of this clause--

Contract records means information created or maintained by the contractor in the performance of the contract. Contract records include documents required to be retained in accordance with FAR 4.703 and other information generated or maintained by the contractor that is pertinent to the contract and its performance including, but not limited to: email and attachments, formal and informal correspondence, calendars, notes, reports, memoranda, spreadsheets, tables, telephone https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-48/chapter-1 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-48/chapter-1 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-48/chapter-24 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-48/chapter-1 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-48/chapter-1 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-48/chapter-24 logs, forms, survey, books, papers, photographs, drawings, machine- readable materials, and data. Contract records may be maintained as electronically stored information or as tangible materials. Contract records may exist in either final or any interim version (e.g., drafts that have been circulated for official purposes and contain unique information, such as notes, edits, comments, or highlighting). Contract records may be located or stored on the contractor's premises or at off-site locations.

Electronically stored information (ESI) means any contract records that are stored on, or generated by, an electronic device, or contained in electronically accessible media, either owned by the contractor, subcontractor(s), or employees of the contractor or subcontractor(s) regardless of the physical location of the device or media (e.g., offsite servers or data storage).

ESI devices and media include, but are not be limited to:

(1) Computers (mainframe, desktop, and laptop);

(2) Network servers, including shared and personal drives;

(3) Individual email accounts of the contractor's principals, officers, and employees, including all folders contained in each email account such as "inbox," "outbox," "drafts," "sent," "trash," "archive," and any other folders;

(b) If during the period of performance of this contract, HUD becomes, or anticipates becoming, a party to any litigation concerning matters related to records maintained or generated by the Contractor in the performance of this contract, the Contracting Officer may provide the contractor with a written (either hardcopy or email) preservation hold notice and certification of compliance with the preservation hold notice. Upon receipt of the hold notice, the Contractor shall immediately take the following actions—

(1) Discontinue any alteration, overwriting, deletion, or destruction of all tangible materials and

ESI.

(2) Preserve tangible materials and ESI. The contractor shall preserve ESI in its "native" form to preserve metadata (i.e., creation and modification history of a document).

The contractor shall immediately confirm receipt of such request. The contractor shall describe in detail any records that the contractor knows or believes to be unavailable and provide a detailed explanation of why they are unavailable, and if known, their location.

(c)(1) If any request for records pursuant to paragraph (b)(6) of this clause causes an increase in the estimated cost or price or the time required for performance of any part of the work under this contract, or otherwise affects any other terms and conditions of this contract, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the contract price, the delivery schedule, or both, and shall modify the contract.

(2) The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment under this clause within 30 days from the date of receipt of the Contracting Officer's request made pursuant to paragraph (b)(6) of this clause. However, if the Contracting Officer decides that the facts justify it, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon a request submitted before final payment of the contract.

(3) Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the "Disputes" clause of this contract. However, nothing in this clause shall excuse the contractor from providing the records requested by the Contracting Officer.

(e) The Contractor shall include this clause in all subcontracts.

HUDAR 2452.209-71 LIMITATION ON FUTURE CONTRACTS. (FEB 2000)

(a) The Contracting Officer has determined that this contract may give rise to potential organizational conflicts of interest as defined at RFO 9.5.

(b) The nature of the potential conflict of interest is

The contractor, subcontractor (including consultants), or any of their employees, must not have any financial interests, direct or indirect, with any HUD multifamily (MF) property assigned to this contract.

• A contractor or subcontractor (including consultants) firm, or current or former employees, shall not perform any inspections or service required under this contract for any projects, except as provided in 36.209, if they participated in:

o Any construction work on an assigned project;

o Any design of the construction project;

o Serving as the Supervisory Architect on the assigned project.

• The contractor must not enter into a situation or subcontract with any entity where there exists an identity-of-interest. Identity-of-interest means any relationship (generally based on family ties and/or financial interests) that exists which could give raise to a presumption that the parties to the transaction may not operate at arms-length in establishing the cost or the acceptability of the service to be provided. For example, the contractor is prohibited from inspecting a project that was developed or designed by a family member. Identity-of-interest may exist with a contractor or subcontractor (including consultant), who provides Construction or Architectural services for a property owner, even when property is not assigned as a project under this contract.

• The Contractor shall not employ or subcontract with any person who is a current or former civilian employee of the U.S. Government if the employment of that person would create a conflict of interest, an appearance of any conflict, or otherwise conflict with Department restrictions.

(c) If the contractor, under the terms of this contract or through the performance of tasks pursuant to this contract, is required to develop specifications or statements of work that are to be incorporated into a solicitation, the contractor shall be ineligible to perform the work described in that solicitation as a prime or first-tier subcontractor under any ensuing HUD contract.

(d) Other restrictions –

The contractor’s Quality Control Plan must define their Conflict of Interest (COI) screening procedures for project assignments and potential COI issues with their firm, employees, and subcontractor firms (including consultants) and their employees. The COI screening procedures must reveal any potential conflict within three business days of assignment of a project. If a potential or actual COI is identified, the contractor must notify the Contracting Officer (CO), Contracting Officer Representative (COR), and Subordinate COR (SCOR), in writing within three business days of assignment of a project and comply with paragraph (b) of contract clause 2452.209-72 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. The HUD Office of Counsel must approve assignment to any person who is a current or former civilian employee of the U.S. Government.

(e) The restrictions imposed by this clause shall remain in effect until the latter of either 1) the end of the contract or task order period of performance, or 2) the completion of an assigned construction project.

(End of clause)

HUDAR 2452.209-72 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (APR 1984)

(a) The Contractor warrants that to the best of its knowledge and belief and except as otherwise disclosed, he or she does not have any organizational conflict of interest which is defined as a situation in which the nature of work under a Government contract and a Contractor's organizational, financial, contractual or other interests are such that:

(1) Award of the contract may result in an unfair competitive advantage; or

(2) The Contractor's objectivity in performing the contract work may be impaired.

(b) The Contractor agrees that if after award he or she discovers an organizational conflict of interest with respect to this contract, he or she shall make an immediate and full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer which shall include a description of the action which the Contractor has taken or intends to take to eliminate or neutralize the conflict.

The Government may, however, terminate the contract for the convenience of the Government if it would be in the best interest of the Government.

(c) In the event the Contractor was aware of an organizational conflict of interest before the award of this contract and intentionally did not disclose the conflict to the Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate the contract for default.

(d) The provisions of this clause shall be included in all subcontracts and consulting agreements wherein the work to be performed is similar to the service provided by the prime contractor. The Contractor shall include in such subcontracts and consulting agreements any necessary provisions to eliminate or neutralize conflicts of interest.

INCENTIVES FOR PROCESSING (AUG 2026)

(a) Purpose. This provision establishes a performance-based incentive/disincentive methodology to encourage timely, accurate, and complete performance of construction inspection services.

Performance adjustments under this provision are based solely on the Contractor's demonstrated performance as measured through Government surveillance conducted in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) and its Appendix 1, Surveillance Matrix.

(b) Basis for Evaluation. The Government shall evaluate the Contractor's performance during each monthly evaluation period using the surveillance methods, performance standards, and Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs) established in the QASP. Performance evaluations shall be based upon the Government's review of required deliverables, including but not limited to HUD- 95379 Trip Reports and associated construction inspection documentation, submitted under the contract.

(c) Performance Standards. Unless otherwise specified in the QASP, the following performance standards shall apply:

1. Required deliverables shall be submitted within five (5) business days following the inspection or other required event.

2. Deliverables shall be complete, accurate, and accepted by the Government as deficiency-free.

3. Performance shall be measured using the applicable standards and AQLs identified in the QASP Surveillance Matrix for each task order or inspection activity.

(d) Positive Performance Incentive.

If, during the applicable monthly evaluation period, the Contractor achieves greater than ninety-eight percent (98%) compliance with the applicable QASP performance standards and submits greater than ninety-eight percent (98%) of required deliverables within five (5) business days that are accepted by the Government as deficiency-free, the Contractor shall be eligible to receive a positive performance incentive equal to two percent (2%) of the applicable monthly invoice amount for services evaluated during that period.

(e) Negative Performance Adjustment.

If, during the applicable monthly evaluation period, the Contractor achieves less than ninety-five percent (95%) compliance with the applicable QASP performance standards or submits fewer than ninety-five percent (95%) of required deliverables within five (5) business days that are accepted by the Government as deficiency-free, the Government may apply a negative performance adjustment equal to three percent (3%) of the applicable monthly invoice amount for services evaluated during that period.

(f) Government Determination.

The Contracting Officer shall make the final determination regarding performance incentives and performance adjustments based upon surveillance documentation prepared by the COR and/or SCOR in accordance with the QASP. The Government shall consider any contractor response to identified deficiencies before making a final determination.

(g) Corrective Action.

When Contractor performance falls below the applicable QASP performance standards, the Government may require the Contractor to submit a written corrective action plan in accordance with the QASP. Submission or acceptance of a corrective action plan does not preclude the application of a negative performance adjustment under this provision when warranted by documented performance results.

(h) Relationship to Other Contract Remedies.

Performance incentives and performance adjustments under this provision are separate from, and do not limit, the Government's rights under any other contract clause, including inspection of services, acceptance, termination, or other remedies available under the contract. A performance adjustment under this provision is a contractual payment adjustment based upon objectively measured performance and is not intended to constitute a penalty.

(i) No Entitlement.

A Contractor is eligible for a positive performance incentive only when the applicable performance thresholds established by this provision and the QASP are achieved. Failure to earn a performance incentive shall not, by itself, constitute unsatisfactory performance.

INCENTIVE/DISINCENTIVE TO INCREASE/DECREASE THE GEOGRAPHIC

SERVICE AREA

(a) Purpose. The Government established geographic service areas under this contract to ensure timely and effective delivery of construction inspection services supporting HUD Multifamily Housing programs. The Government may adjust geographic responsibility during the contract ordering period to address workload requirements, contractor capability, performance considerations, funding limitations, or other mission requirements.

(b) Geographic Expansion. The Government may increase a Contractor’s geographic service area when the Contractor demonstrates the capability, capacity, staffing, and performance history necessary to support additional geographic areas. In determining whether to expand a Contractor’s geographic responsibility, the Government may consider quality of performance, responsiveness, inspection timeliness, staffing availability, past performance, and the Government’s operational needs.

(c) Geographic Reduction. The Government may reduce a Contractor’s geographic service area when necessary to ensure mission requirements are achieved. Factors supporting geographic reduction may include, but are not limited to, unacceptable performance, insufficient staffing, inability to meet required response times, workload balancing, funding limitations, or other circumstances determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the Government’s best interest.

(d) Contract Modification. Any increase or decrease in geographic responsibility shall be implemented through a bilateral contract modification. Geographic realignment contemplated by this clause is within the general scope of this contract when performed in accordance with the solicitation requirements and resulting contract terms.

(e) Quantity Limitations. Geographic realignment shall not increase the contract maximum quantity, minimum guarantee, or contract ceiling unless otherwise authorized by applicable procurement law and regulation.

(f) Existing Assignments. Inspection assignments issued prior to the effective date of a geographic realignment modification shall remain the responsibility of the Contractor unless otherwise directed by the Contracting…
