Contractors should have a written code of business ethics and conduct within thirty days of award. To promote compliance with such code of business ethics and conduct, contractors should have an employee business ethics and compliance training program that facilitates timely discovery and disclosure of improper conduct in connection with government contracts and ensures corrective measures are promptly instituted and carried out. A contractor may be suspended and/or debarred for knowing failure by a principal to timely disclose to the government, in connection with the award, performance, or closeout of a government contract performed by the contractor or a subcontract awarded there under, credible evidence of a violation of federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, or gratuity violations found in title 18 of the United States Code or a violation of the False Claims Act. (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733)
If this solicitation or contract includes FAR clause 52.203-13 - CONTRACTOR CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT; the contractor shall comply with the terms of the clause and have a written code of business ethics and conduct; exercise due diligence to prevent and detect criminal conduct; promote ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law within their organization; and timely report any violations of federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery or gratuity violations found in title 18 of the United States Code or any violations of the False Claims Act. (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733). When FAR 52.203-13 is included in the contract, contractors must provide a copy of its written code of business ethics and conduct to the contracting officer upon request by the contracting officer.

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.
(2)
(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor
AMENDMENT 0010 SPE2D1-15-R-0001 Page 11 of 120 shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to:

(B) Comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR;
(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.
(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.
(3) The Contractor shall 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 (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall 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.
(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.
(u) Unauthorized Obligations.
(1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End Use License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C.
1341), the following shall govern:
(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.
(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.
https://www.acquisition.gov/

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.
(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.
(v) Incorporation by reference. The Contractor’s representations and certifications, including those completed electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM), are incorporated by reference into the contract.
(End of Clause)

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT – ESTABLISHED CATALOG PRICE - ONE
UPWARD ADJUSTMENT AUTHORIZED EACH YEAR TERM - NON-ECAT (JUL 2014)
DLATS
(a) All price adjustments authorized or mandated by this clause are based upon changes in the Contractor’s List Prices. The clause also provides for voluntary price reductions (VPR) in the form of “specials” or “discounts”.
(b) Definitions:
(1) Contract Unit Price: The price per unit of issue comprised of the “List Price” and the applicable “Discount”. The Contract Unit Price is determined by reducing the applicable List Price by the appropriate Discount. The list prices and discounts shall be listed in the contract. The resulting net contract unit prices may or may not be listed in the contract at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.
(2) Discount: The percentage reduction off the List Price proposed by the contractor and accepted by the Government. These percentages may vary per item and quantity ordered. They shall be agreed to at time of award and may not be reduced for the life of the contract. These discounts are in addition to any standard trade discounts in the contractor’s established commercial Catalog/Price List. (Contractors may offer larger discounts and/or reduced List Prices at any time.)
(3) List Price: The established Catalog Unit Prices of the items. In order for a “List Price” to meet the criteria as an established Catalog Price, it must meet the definition in (c) below.
(4) Voluntary Price Reduction (VPR): See paragraph (l) below.
(c) The term "established Catalog Unit Price", as used in this clause, means a Unit Price that (i) is a Catalog Price for a commercial item sold in substantial quantities to the general public and (ii) is the net price after applying any standard trade discounts offered by the contractor.
(d) The offeror/contractor warrants that (1) the List Prices and the subsequent revisions thereto are the established Catalog Unit Prices in effect at time of Award or adjustment for like quantities of the same items and (2) any Contract Unit Prices determined using these List Prices do not include allowances for any portion of the contingency covered by this clause.
(e) Prior to award the contractor must furnish:
(1) their current established Catalog/Price List, offered Discounts, proposed Contract Unit Prices.
(f) Upon acceptance by the Government, the Award Unit Prices will be established at the List Prices minus the agreed-to Discounts.
AMENDMENT 0010 SPE2D1-15-R-0001 Page 19 of 120
(g) Downward Adjustments.
(1) Downward adjustments to Contract Unit Prices are mandated whenever there are decreases in List Prices. The contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing of the amount and effective date of each decrease in List Price. The Contractor shall propose a lower Contract Unit Price taking into consideration the benchmark in paragraph (g)(2) below. The contractor must furnish a copy of the revised Catalog/Price List as soon as it is available. Also, the contractor must provide an Excel spreadsheet or ACCESS Database (in both hard copy and disc) that displays for each item with an offered decrease in Contract Unit Price the appropriate information below. The Contractor shall submit this information at least 60 days prior to the date when the reduced List Prices take effect.
(i) The Supplier (Catalog); e.g., ABC Imaging, Inc.
(ii) The Product Name/Nomenclature; e.g., High Speed Hand piece.
(iii) Part Number; e.g., HIH 2000
(iv) The List Price upon which the current Contract Unit Price is based.
(v) The applicable Contract Discount used as a basis for determining the current Contract Unit Price.
(vi) The Contract Unit Price currently in effect.
(vii) The reduced List Price.
(viii) The applicable Contract Discount or larger Contract Discount now offered.
(ix) The reduced Contract Unit Price now offered.
(x) The percentage decrease in List Price from the List Price which determined the current Contract Unit Price to the new, lower List Price.
(xi) The percentage change in Contract Unit Price from the current Contract Unit Price to the new lower Contract Unit Price now offered.
(2) Reductions in List Price(s). For any offered price decrease, the appropriate discount or larger discount now offered will be applied to each reduced List Price to determine the adjusted Contract Unit Price provided the proposed lower Contract Unit Price does not exceed the following benchmark:
The offered reduction in Contract Unit Price on a percentage basis must be at least equal to the percentage reduction from the List Price currently in effect under the contract to the new lower List Price; i.e., the current Contract Unit Price must, as a minimum, be reduced by the percentage decrease in List Price.
AMENDMENT 0010 SPE2D1-15-R-0001 Page 20 of 120
(3) If the proposed Contract Unit Price exceeds the List Price benchmark, the Contracting Officer shall determine the proposed price reductions unreasonable and negotiate a price reduction which results in a Contract Unit Price that does not exceed the benchmark. (All negotiated price reductions shall be confirmed in writing and will include the agreed-to price(s) and the list price(s) and discount(s) which make up these prices.) If an agreement cannot be reached the Contracting Officer has the option of removing these items from the Contract or taking the action in the last sentence below. If the proposed Contract Unit Price does not exceed the benchmark, it will be determined fair and reasonable. Upon acceptance of any proposed price decreases, the Government shall modify the contract to include the reduced list prices and discounts. The adjusted Contract Unit Prices may or may not be shown in the modification at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. These reduced Contract Unit Prices shall apply to those items ordered on or after the date when the reduced List Price(s) take effect. If the contractor fails to notify the Contracting Officer of any List Price decreases within the timeframe and in the manner stated above or agreement on any reduction cannot be reached, the Contracting Officer may determine the applicable adjustment and authorize a unilateral price adjustment retroactively applied to all items ordered on or after the effective date of the decrease in the Contractor’s established List Prices.
(h) Upward Adjustments.
(1) DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE CONTRACT Base TERM (I.E., AWARD DATE 09/24/2014 WOULD EQUATE TO THE PERIOD 9/24/14 THRU 9/23/2015), Contract Unit Prices are not subject to any upward adjustment. However, the Contractor is authorized to submit one upward adjustment request starting from the second year of the base term, and during each year thereafter, to include the years in the OPTION TERMS (IF INVOKED). Therefore in total, no more than 9 annual adjustments may be invoked on this contract.
Request shall be submitted no later than 60 days prior to the effective date of the upcoming CONTRACT Year. Each request for upward price adjustment must be based upon increases in List Prices only. (List Price increases which will take effect beyond this 60 day evaluation period, shall not be included in the upcoming adjustment but may be submitted for the subsequent Annual adjustment.) The Contractor shall propose a Contract Unit Price taking into consideration the benchmarks in paragraph (h)(2). The request shall include a copy of the revised Catalog/Price List and the following for each item with a proposed increase in Contract Unit Price:
(i) A separate Excel spreadsheet or ACCESS database, in both hard copy and disc, that displays for each item with a proposed price increase the following information:
(A) The item number; e.g., 0003.
(B) The Supplier (Catalog); e.g., ABC Dental, Inc.
(C) The Product Name/Nomenclature; e.g., High Speed Hand piece.
(D) The Part Number; e.g., HIH2000.
(E) For the initial ADJUSTMENT PERIOD, the List Price that determined the Award Unit Price, the applicable Contract Discount, and the Award Unit Price. For all subsequent ADJUSTMENT PERIODS, the List Price that determined the highest Contract Unit Price that was
AMENDMENT 0010 SPE2D1-15-R-0001 Page 21 of 120 in effect at any time during the preceding Contract Year, the applicable discount, and the highest Contract Unit Price that was in effect during the preceding Contract Year.
(F) The increased List Price and its effective date, the applicable Contract Discount or larger Contract Discount now offered, and the proposed higher Contract Unit Price.
(G) For the initial ADJUSTMENT PERIOD, the percentage change from the List Price that determined the award unit price to the new higher List Price.
