Basic. As prescribed in 247.574(b) and (b)(1), use the following clause:
TRANSPORTATION OF SUPPLIES BY SEA-BASIC (FEB 2019)

"Department of Defense" (DoD) means the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and defense agencies.
"Foreign-flag vessel" means any vessel that is not a U.S.-flag vessel.
"Ocean transportation" means any transportation aboard a ship, vessel, boat, barge, or ferry through international waters.
"Subcontractor" means a supplier, materialman, distributor, or vendor at any level below the prime contractor whose contractual obligation to perform results from, or is conditioned upon, award of the prime contract and who is performing any part of the work or other requirement of the prime contract.
"Supplies" means all property, except land and interests in land, that is clearly identifiable for eventual use by or owned by the DoD at the time of transportation by sea.
(i) An item is clearly identifiable for eventual use by the DoD if, for example, the contract documentation contains a reference to a DoD contract number or a military destination.
(ii) "Supplies" includes (but is not limited to) public works; buildings and facilities; ships; floating equipment and vessels of every character, type, and description, with parts, subassemblies, accessories, and equipment; machine tools; material; equipment; stores of all kinds; end items; construction materials; and components of the foregoing.
"U.S.-flag vessel" means a vessel of the United States or belonging to the United States, including any vessel registered or having national status under the laws of the United States.
(b)(1) The Contractor shall use U.S.-flag vessels when transporting any supplies by sea under this contract.

(A) Noncommercial items; or
(B) Commercial items that-
(1) The Contractor is reselling or distributing to the Government without adding value (generally, the Contractor does not add value to items that it subcontracts for f.o.b. destination shipment);
(2) Are shipped in direct support of U.S. military contingency operations, exercises, or forces deployed in humanitarian or peacekeeping operations; or
(3) Are commissary or exchange cargoes transported outside of the Defense Transportation System in accordance with 10 U.
S.C. 2643.

(3) Freight charges are higher than charges to private persons for transportation of like goods.
(d) The Contractor must submit any request for use of foreign-flag vessels in writing to the Contracting Officer at least 45 days prior to the sailing date necessary to meet its delivery schedules. The Contracting Officer will process requests submitted after such date(s) as expeditiously as possible, but the Contracting Officer's failure to grant approvals to meet the shipper's sailing date will not of itself constitute a compensable delay under this or any other clause of this contract. Requests shall contain at a minimum-

(2) Required shipping date;
(3) Special handling and discharge requirements;
(4) Loading and discharge points;

(1) No ocean transportation was used in the performance of this contract;
(2) Ocean transportation was used and only U.S.-flag vessels were used for all ocean shipments under the contract;
(3) Ocean transportation was used, and the Contractor had the written consent of the Contracting Officer for all foreign-flag ocean transportation; or
(4) Ocean transportation was used and some or all of the shipments were made on foreign-flag vessels without the written consent of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall describe these shipments in the following format:
ITEM DESCRIPTION CONTRACT LINE ITEMS
QUANTITY
TOTAL ____ ____ ____
(g) If this contract exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold and the final invoice does not include the required representation, the Government will reject and return it to the Contractor as an improper invoice for the purposes of the Prompt Payment clause of this contract. In the event there has been unauthorized use of foreign-flag vessels in the performance of this contract, the Contracting Officer is entitled to equitably adjust the contract, based on the unauthorized use.
(h) If the Contractor indicated in response to the solicitation provision, Representation of Extent of Transportation by Sea, that it did not anticipate transporting by sea any supplies; however, after the award of this contract, the Contractor learns that supplies will be transported by sea, the Contractor shall-
(1) Notify the Contracting Officer of that fact; and

Section G - Contract Administration Data
1. ORDERING PROCEDURES
338th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (ESS) Contracting Officers may solicit Task Order Proposal Requests (TOPRs) for F-16 International Aircraft Maintenance and Pilot Differences requirements to deliver an operational capability to new-buy countries and existing F-16 countries to support ongoing sustainment training, pre-delivery training, and/or in-country training to support aircraft upgrade programs. Training locations will be specified per individual Task Order.
Each Contractor is required to submit a response to all TOPRs. Contractors are not obligated to propose on all Task Orders; however, they are required to contact the Contracting Officer prior to the proposal due date if they cannot participate. Failure to provide this notification may impact future consideration for TOPRs or lead to removal from the IDIQ Program consistent with the relevant partner nation's Letter of Offer and Acceptance
(LOA).
During the ordering period of this IDIQ, in accordance with FAR 16.505, the Government will implement the process set forth to develop and issue TOPRs under this IDIQ Program. Upon identification of a new requirement for performance under this multiple award IDIQ, the Contracting Officer will notify all eligible contractors by issuing a TOPR.
2. TOPR DOCUMENTS
Individual Task Orders will vary in complexity and scope. Generally, the TOPR will include but is not limited to the following:
(i) Performance Work Statement (PWS)
(ii) Reporting Requirements and Deliverables
(iii) Proposal Due Date and Location/Locations of Training
(iv) Period of Performance of Task Order
(v) Minimum Training Courses (See UPB Training Line Items)
(vi) Country Specific Program Information
(vii) Price Proposal Instructions
(viii) Evaluation Factors for Award of Task Order
A Questions and Answers (Q&A) Period may be offered per TOPR. The Q&A discussions may include, but are not limited to the following:
(i) Training Location(s)
(ii) Methods and alternatives for accomplishing the work
(iii) Training Task Recommendations/Determinations/Questions
(iv) Definition and refinement of requirements
(v) Any additional requirements for the Contractor's cost/price proposal
(vi) Detailed scope of work
All contract clauses contained in this IDIQ shall be considered incorporated in each proposal request unless otherwise specified in the TOPR and the resultant Task Order. If conflicts exist between the contract clauses and the information contained in the Task Order, the IDIQ contract language shall take precedence.
If in receipt of written Contracting Officer authorization as specified per Task Order, the United States Government (USG) may provide new production, upgrade and existing Country Specific Technical Orders (CSTOs). Additionally the USG may provide United States Air Force (USAF) developed F-16 Courseware to aid the timely development of courseware per task order. As specified per Task Order, if USG cannot provide final, manuscript, draft CSTOs, or USAF developed F-16 Courseware, then the contractor can use other-than- USG provided data to develop courseware in accordance with DFARS 252.227-7020.
3. PROPOSAL CONTENTS AND PREPARATION COSTS
The Contracting Officer shall define the required timeframe for submission of the Contractor's proposal at the TOPR level. The Contracting Officer may determine different timeframes than below, however, typical response times will be as follows:
(i) 15 calendar days for routine Task Orders
(ii) 10 calendar days for other than routine Task Orders (i.e. time-critical requirements)
Costs for preparation of proposals and pre-award activities shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor.
Contractors will not be reimbursed for attendance during negotiations, preproposal conferences or any other Task Order pre-award activities.
Unless waived by a Contracting Officer, at a minimum, each TOPR proposal submission should include:
(i) A detailed Proposal Narrative to include plan to maintain flyable condition (if applicable)
(ii) A detailed project schedule
(iii) Individual Specialty Tasks Identified for Instruction
(iv) Support Equipment Proposed to Conduct Training
(v) A detailed Basis of Estimate including all proposed Line Items
(vi) Supporting documentation, as applicable
(vii) Proposed Exclusively Privately Funded Training Courseware, Syllabi, and Student Materials and USG Cost Savings Realized (If Applicable)
The UPB line items shall be fully burdened and all-encompassing to include but not limited to Program Management, Maintaining Flyable Condition, materials, equipment, labor, facilities, and required courseware.
UPB line item Not To Exceed Extended Burdened Price is the Quantity x Unit Price. Each TOPR proposal shall be based upon the individual line items derived from the Unit Price Book (UPB) attached to the IDIQ Program Basic Contract award. Individual line items proposed per TOPR shall not exceed the NTE extended burdened price. The contractor shall propose the quantity required per line item and the unit price (which can be less than, but cannot exceed the Not To Exceed Extended Burdened Price in the UPB).
If specified per Task Order, USG may request courseware and training material as a deliverable to provide a "train-the-trainer" capability to Partner Nation Air Forces. If the train-the-trainer capability is required per task order, program awardees shall utilize the "Train the Trainer Courseware Deliverable" UPB line items to deliver the courseware and student materials to the Air Force Security Assistance Training Squadron (AFSAT) in accordance with DFARS 252.227-7020.
UPB line items will differentiate CONUS and OCONUS training. All UPB line items listed as CONUS shall incorporate unit pricing coverage for training conducted at the contractor training facility and/or training conducted at CONUS USAF installations.
The use of the TOPR Basis of Estimate Template (See Section J Attachment 5) is required for Task Order proposal submission. The TOPR Basis of Estimate shall include the UPB Line Item Number, Line Item Description, Unit of Measure, Quantity, Unit Price, Extended Fully Burdened Price (Quantity x Unit Price), Non-Priced Items (NPI), and total TOPR proposal amount. If the contractor's proposal includes any NPIs the burden of justification for the dollar value of the NPI falls on the Contractor. NPIs are defined as any proposed line item that is outside the UPB. Non-Priced Items shall not exceed 15% of the total price of each TOPR proposal.
The F-16 Task List by Specialty (See Section J Attachment 2) shall constitute the minimum recommended tasks required per specialty. Program awardees shall utilize the F-16 Task List by Specialty and make a comprehensive determination/recommendation of which tasks are required per Task Order.
Training tasks other than the tasks listed in Section J Attachment 2 - F-16 Task List by Specialty are authorized and may be recommended/proposed at the Task Order level.
4. TASK ORDER COMPETITION
Competition for issuance of Task Orders is limited to those awardees with contracts under this IDIQ.
TOPRs will be issued per Partner Nation Air Force (PNAF) and will incorporate evaluation factors to determine best value. The government reserves the right to use any and all tradeoff procedures to determine best value per PNAF in accordance with FAR 16.505 (b).
All contractors on this IDIQ shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each order, unless the Contracting Officer determines an exception exists in accordance with FAR 16.505 (b)(2)(i).
If the Contractor believes it was not fairly considered for a particular order, the Contractor may present the matter to the Contracting Officer. The Contractor may appeal the explanation of the Contracting Officer's decision to the corresponding Ombudsman for the agency. The Ombudsman will review the Contractor's complaint and, in coordination with the Contracting Officer, ensure that the Contractor was afforded a fair opportunity to be considered for a Task Order.
Additionally, requirements will be subject to the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) Process. The LOA process is an agreement between Partner Nations and the United States Government.
The amount of approved LOAs is subject to change and may be amended at any time. LOAs may direct a source for the training which will remove a training requirement from competition in accordance with FAR 16.505 (b) (2)(i).
Contract holders are expected, in good faith, to participate in Task Order competitions, and if successful, to deliver quality projects on schedule and within the Task Order award amount, to include management, training and courseware development. If, for any reason, a contractor cannot participate in a competition, the contractor shall provide written notice of the reason(s) for non-participation prior to the proposal due date. Before the exercise of any option period(s), the Government will evaluate the participation rates, reason(s) for non-participation and performance evaluations for Task Orders completed or in effect. Failure to participate in good faith and/or an overall performance CPARS Rating of Marginal or Unsatisfactory may result in the contractor being removed from the F-16 International Aircraft Maintenance and Pilot Differences Program. Contractors are required to provide competitive proposals for at least 80% of competitive TOPR requests over a twelve month period of performance (it is the responsibility of the contractor to track percentage submitted).
5. TASK ORDER AWARD DECISION
