B-0001 B15.01 SUPPLIES AND ESTIMATED QUANTITIES TO BE FURNISHED (INTO-PLANE) (DLA

ENERGY AUG 2013)

(a) (1) The contract quantities shown below are best estimates only of the Government's requirements for the contract period. With respect to the products and/or services awarded at each individual airport location, the Contractor is obligated to deliver into-plane the supplies and perform the services required at such location, and the Government is obligated to order, accept, and pay for such supplies and/or services required at such location even though the quantities actually required during the contract period may be greater or less than the estimated quantities, except as provided for in the DELIVERY-ORDER LIMITATIONS contract provision.

(2) The estimated quantities shown in the Schedule do not include quantities that may be required by the Government for military exercises that are conducted at the specific airport location. The Government reserves the right to support military/federal exercises by using

Government-furnished fuel, equipment, and personnel.

(3) In addition, if a Government facility is located at the airport, the Government shall only order from the Contractor the

Government's fuel requirements that are in excess of its in-house capabilities. In such instances, the estimated quantities specified in the

Schedule are estimates of requirements in excess of the quantities that the Government may itself furnish within its own capabilities.

(b) REQUIREMENTS. This is a requirements contract for the supplies or services specified and effective for the period stated in the ORDERING (INTO-PLANE) contract provision.

(1) The quantities of supplies or services specified in the Schedule are best estimates only and are not purchased by this contract.

Except as this contract may otherwise provide, if the Government's requirements do not result in orders in the quantities DLA Energy described as

"estimated" or "maximum" in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment.

(2) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in accordance with the ordering provisions herein.

Subject to any limitations in the order limitations provisions herein or elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government all supplies or services specified in the Schedule and called for by orders issued in accordance with the ordering provisions. The Government may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations. Except as this contract otherwise provides, the Government shall order from the Contractor all the supplies or services specified in the Schedule that are required to be purchased by the Government activity or activities specified in the Schedule. The Government is not required to purchase from the Contractor requirements in excess of any limit on total orders under this contract. However, the total quantity ordered and required to be delivered by the specified method of delivery during the ordering period may be greater than or less than these total estimated quantities.

(3) If the Government urgently requires delivery of any quantity of an item before the earliest date that delivery may be specified under this contract, and if the Contractor will not accept an order providing for the accelerated delivery, the Government may acquire the urgently required goods or services from another source.

(4) 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 contract shall govern the Contractor's and Government's rights and obligations with respect to that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the contract's effective period; PROVIDED, that the Contractor shall not be required to make any deliveries under this contract after the end of the stated delivery period.

(c) Unless otherwise specified in the Schedule or the Notes/Exceptions, the Contractor shall perform all fuel deliveries called for under the contract using its established facility for the airport (ICAO) specifically solicited. Offerors must have authorization from the appropriate airport authorities for access to the airport property where the refueling will be performed. Delivery shall encompass all delivery methods available at the airport (hydrant, truck, etc.). Exceptions to this must be stated prior to award.

(d) Prices indicated hereunder are subject to the ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT – MARKET PRICE (DOMESTIC

INTO-PLANE) contract provision for the contract period.

(b) DEFINITIONS. As used throughout this contract provision--

(1) The term base price means the unit price set forth opposite the item in the contract Schedule.

(2) The term market price means the price or average of prices for the same or similar item, as set forth in the publication(s) listed in the table in paragraph (h) below, from which the base price is to fluctuate.

(c) NOTIFICATION. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer, Defense Logistics Agency Energy (DLA Energy), of any change in the market price by facsimile within 14 days from the date thereof.

(d) ADJUSTMENTS.

(1) The prices payable under this contract shall be adjusted upward or downward through issuance of contract modifications in accordance with the conditions set forth in this contract provision. One adjustment shall be made for each week during which the market prices have changed and shall become effective on the first day of the week. Any increase or decrease shall apply only to deliveries made on or after the first business day of the week and not the publication date of the trade price service or commercial journals listed in the table in paragraph (h) below. The amount of increase or decrease in the price payable under the contract shall be the same number of cents or fraction thereof that the market price increases or decreases per like unit of measure.

(i) In the event the Contractor fails to notify the Contracting Officer of any increase/decrease in market price, such increase/decrease shall apply only to deliveries made on and after the date of receipt by the Contracting Officer of a written notification from the

Contractor of such increase/decrease.

(ii) DAY OF PUBLICATION. Except for items employing the publications listed in (A) and (B) below, the market price in effect on the date of delivery shall be that item’s preselected market price published on the Monday of the week in which the delivery is made or, in the event there is no publication in that week, it shall be the item’s preselected market price as last previously published.

Monday’s “hard copy” publication.

NOTE 2: DLA Energy downloads the electronic versions of the price publications (i.e., Platts, OPIS). Occasionally, a slight discrepancy may be noted between the prices posted on the electronic version and the printed (hard copy) version. In such an event, the prices posted in the electronic version shall be used in determining adjustments under this contract provision.

http://www.desc.dla.mil/PublicPages/Business.cfm

OSP 10 of 33

(A) PLATTS OILGRAM PRICE REPORT. For items employing Platts Oilgram Price Report Spot Price Assessment, with an effective day of Monday or Tuesday of each week, the market price in effect on the date of delivery shall be that item’s preselected market price officially on the electronic version on Monday’s containing prices effective on the prior Friday of the week in which the delivery is made. For items employing Platts Oilgram Price Report 5 Day Rolling Average, the market price in effect on the date of delivery shall be that item’s preselected market price published for 5 days ending on the Friday prior to the week in which the delivery is made. Normally, the average will be Monday through Friday; however, in the event of a holiday or other occurrence(s) for which Platts does not make an effective price, the closest effective price date(s) prior to Monday will be used to complete the 5 Day Rolling Average.

(B) When a combination of two different publications is utilized, the earlier date of the week shall control if differingpublished dates are used.

(2) The Contracting Officer shall calculate the adjusted prices based on the difference between the base market price and the market price.

(3) The prices payable under this contract for any given week will be based on the last market price effective during the preceding week.

(4) The Contracting Officer shall issue a modification as soon as practicable after such price becomes effective. However, no modification incorporating an increase in a contract unit price shall be executed pursuant to this provision until the increase in the applicable published market price has been verified by the Contracting Officer or authorized representative.

Energy web page at http://www.desc.dla.mil under the heading Vendor Resources and then Product Price Adjustments.

(6) The Contractor shall invoice and will be paid at the price set forth in the modification.

(7) FAILURE TO DELIVER. Notwithstanding any other conditions of this contract provision, no upward adjustment shall apply to product scheduled under the contract to be delivered before the effective date of the adjustment, unless the Contractor’s failure to deliver according to the delivery schedule results from causes beyond the Contractor’s control and without its fault or negligence, within the meaning of paragraphs (f), Excusable Delays, and (m), Termination for Cause, of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS - COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause of this contract, in which case the contract shall be amended to make an equitable extension of the delivery schedule.

(8) UPWARD CEILING ON ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The Contractor agrees that the total increase in any contract unit price pursuant to these economic price adjustment provisions shall not exceed 550 percent of the award price in any applicable program year (whether a single year or a multiyear program), except as provided hereafter.

(i) If at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that within the near future a price adjustment under the conditions of this contract provision will be required that will exceed the current contract ceiling price for any item, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting

Officer in writing of the expected increase. The notification shall include a revised ceiling sufficient to permit completion of remaining contract performance, along with appropriate explanation and documentation as required by the Contracting Officer.

(ii) If an actual increase in the market price would raise a contract unit price for an item above the current ceiling, the Contractor shall have no obligation under this contract to fill pending or future orders for such item, as of the effective date of the increase, until the Contracting

Officer issues either a contract modification to raise the ceiling or written notification that the ceiling will not be raised.

(9) REVISION OF MARKET PRICE INDICATOR. In the event--

If the parties fail to agree on an appropriate substitute, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with paragraph (d), Disputes, of the

CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS - COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause of this contract.

(e) CONVERSION FACTORS. If this contract provision requires quantity conversion for economic price adjustment purposes, the conversion factors for applicable products, as specified in the CONVERSION FACTORS provision, apply unless otherwise specified in the Schedule.

commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks “have”, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and

A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(2) Examples.

(i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(ii)…
