Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Custodial, Pest Control, and Grounds Maintenance Service Contract at U.S. Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Iwakuni, Japan

N4008426R1026

Section B - Supplies or Services & Prices or Costs

Additional Information/Notes

B1. CONTRACT LINE ITEMS (CLINS) AND EXHIBIT LINE ITEMS (ELINS)

a. Offerors shall enter amounts for CLINs and ELINs as indicated in the schedules and accompanying exhibits.

b. ELINs are included in Pricing shall be prepared for Base Period Recurring and Non-Recurring Work and Option Periods Section J-0200000-13.

Recurring and Non-Recurring Work (1st Option Periods through 4th) as specified in Section M.

c. In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the extended total amount, the unit price will be held to be the intended proposal and the total of the CLIN, the ELIN will be recomputed to take into account the change in the contract ELINs. If the offeror provides a total amount for an ELIN, but fails to enter the unit price, the total amount divided by the ELIN quantity will be held to be the intended unit price.

B2. MAXIMUM NOT TO EXCEED (NTE)

The maximum NTE value of the total contract is the summation of all CLINs for all ordering periods. Each ordering period contains a NTE value which is the total of Recurring and Non-Recurring within that ordering period. The maximum for any ordering period shall not be exceeded except as provided for by formal modification to the contract.

Circumstances may change after award such that the Government may need to issue orders which exceed the estimated quantity set forth for any particular CLIN during an ordering period, but will not exceed the maximum value for that ordering period. In this case, the Contractor may agree by signing the task order or starting performance.

Concurrently with the award of the basic contract, the Government intends to issue a task order to obligate CLIN 0001, Recurring Work - Base Period. Issuance of recurring work on CLIN 0001 satisfies the minimum guarantee requirements for IDIQ contracts.

Any unused estimated amount under the Non-Recurring CLIN(s) from the current year may be carried over to the next Option Period via issuance of a modification so long as the total estimated contract price for all years is not exceeded. ELIN rates for the unused capacity carried over to the next option will be consistent with the succeeding option's rate.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

H1. NON-RECURRING WORK

Work items for the Non-Recurring portion of the contract are identified in the Schedule and any accompanying exhibits. The quantities of supplies and services specified in accompanying exhibits and the Schedule as Non-Recurring are estimates only and will be ordered by issuance of a task order in accordance with FAR 52.216-18, Ordering (AUG 2020).

Task orders issued by the issuing activity using DD Form 1155, will utilize the ELINs when ordering non-recurring work. The DD Form 1155 will reflect an order for one CLIN, one quantity, the unit price for one task, and the extended amount which should match the unit price. The quantity ordered and the extended amount reflected in the CLIN is the sum of the

ELINs being ordered, which will be provided to the Contractor as part of the task order.

If the NTE amount for the current ordering period has been met, additional quantities may be ordered as long as the overall Not-to-Exceed (NTE) amount of the contract per year is not exceeded and the Contractor agrees by signing the task order, or by modification.

Any unused estimated amount under the Non-Recurring work from the current year will be carried over to the next Option Period via issuance of a bilateral modification prior to the exercise of the next Option Period, so long as the total estimated contract price for all years is not exceeded. ELIN and Sub-ELIN rates for the unused capacity carried over to the next option will be consistent with the succeeding Option Year's rates.

H2. AUTHORITY

In accordance with FAR 1.402-1, only Contracting Officers have authority to enter into, administer, or terminate contracts and make related determinations and findings.

H3. CONSUMPTION TAX EXPEMPTION PROCEDURES ON PURCHASE OF GOODS AND SERVICES BY THE UNNITED STATES

ARMED FORCES IN JAPAN [JAPANESE LAW NO. 108, 1988]

a. The Consumption Tax Law (Law No. 108, 1988) was enacted in the Diet of Japan on 24 December 1988, and applied from April 1, 1989. The Government of japan (GOJ) and the United States Government (USG), in accordance with paragraph 3, Article XII, of the "Agreement Under Article VI of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security Between Japan and the United States of America Regarding Facilities and Areas and the Status of Forces in Japan," (SOFA) have agreed upon procedures for exempting the United States from the Japanese Consumption Tax on goods and services purchased in Japan for official purposes of the U.S. Armed Force by the U.S. Armed Forces by the U.S. Armed Forces or its authorized procurement agencies.

b. The underlying objective is to obtain the full amount of the exemption from the tax on U.S. Forces procurements immediately at the time of purchase and at the same time provide the Contractor a proof of purchase document, acceptable to GOJ tax authorities, which he/she can present to the tax authorities to obtain a tax credit and/or refund for tax already collected and paid by previous sellers.

c. The exemption from the Japanese Consumption Tax applies not only to prime contractors, but also subcontractors or suppliers at every level regardless of the nationality of the prime contractor whether a Japanese or foreign firm.

d. By the submission of their offeror, the offeror certifies that the Japanese Consumption tax is not included in the bid/proposal/quote price, nor will it be a part of any subsequent modification to the contract. Procedures for Contractors to obtain a consumption tax credit are described in USFJ Instruction 51-5 that may be obtained from the Procuring Contracting Office.

H4. CONCILIATION

a. Any disagreement arising under this contract which is not resolved by the parties to this contract may be submitted to the U.S.-Japan Joint Committee for Conciliation in accordance with paragraph 10, Article XVIII, of the Status of Forces Agreement under Article VI, of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the United States of America.

b.

A request for conciliation by the Joint Committee, however, shall not toll the time periods allowed under the Contract Disputes Act for appealing a contracting officer's final decision to either the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals or U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

c. Upon filing a request for conciliation with the Joint Committee, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing of the request.

H5. PAPERLESS CONTRACTING

a. The U.S. Navy (hereafter referred to as the Government) intends to administer any contract awarded under this solicitation using paperless contracting methods to the greatest extent practicable. Paperless contracting involves the use of an electronic medium such as the internet, computer diskettes, CD-ROM, or electronic mail (email) in place of paper documents to award, solicit, or administer a contract.

b. In order to facilitate the use of paperless contracting methods, the Contractor shall possess the capability to communicate and exchange authenticated documents with the Government electronically during the contract performance period. Such capability shall include the ability to receive, acknowledge, reply to, and send documents via electronic mail. Additionally, such capability shall not require or be contingent upon any modification or upgrade to existing Government software. The Contractor also agrees to maintain such capability notwithstanding any changes or modifications to existing Government software during the contract performance period so long as the Government provides reasonable notice and any equipment and/or software required to maintain such capability is commercially available.

c. The Contractor shall utilize the paperless contracting capability described above as directed by the contracting officer during the contract performance period. Documents which may be required to be exchanged electronically include, but are not limited to, task orders, modifications, requests for cost proposals, and other routine correspondence. Exceptions to the contracting officer's direction may be granted in unusual circumstances with the prior approval of the contracting officer.

d. Both the Contractor and the Government agree to share all such technical information as is necessary to facilitate efficient and reliable electronic communications during the period of contract performance. Such information may include such data as e-mail addresses, available software, and mutually agreed procedures, but shall not include any information the disclosure of which would violate any applicable licenses or other law or regulation. In case of any technical difficulties precluding the use of electronic communications, both the Government and the Contractor agree to work in good faith to resolve any such difficulties.

e. For informational purposes, the Government anticipates that its contracting personnel will utilize the following computer software programs during the administration of this contract: Microsoft Office (Excel and Word), Adobe Acrobat, and AutoCAD.
