B.1. GENERAL

The mission of the United States Department of State’s Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is to minimize the impact of international crime and illegal drugs on the United States, its citizens, and partner nations by providing effect-ive foreign assistance and fostering global cooperation. The U.S. Embassy INL Section Bogota (in Colombia) is responsible for the administration of projects and funds provided by INL.

The Contractor shall provide professional, administrative, and support services to meet the performance objectives and business re-quirements of the U.S. Embassy INL Section Bogota.

This is a non-personal services contract, as defined by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 37.101. Inherently Governmental Ser-vices, as identified in FAR 7.503 or by the ordering agency, are prohibited under this contract. The Government will neither supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the contractor performs the required tasks. The contractor shall manage its em-ployees and guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services or give the perception of personal services. The con-tractor shall notify the Contracting Officer (CO) immediately if they perceive any actions constitute personal services. This contract shall not be used to perform any Inherently Governmental Functions (IGF).

B.2. TYPE OF CONTRACT

(a) This is a single-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.504 (Indefinite-Quantity Contracts).

(b) This contract is for non-commercial items.

(c) The Government anticipates to award labor-hour, time-and-materials, and firm-fixed-price task orders. However, the Govern-ment reserves the right to award task orders utilizing any of the contract types, or a combination thereof, identified in FAR Part 16 (Types of Contracts).

(d) If a task order will be performance-based, as described in FAR subpart 37.6 (Performance-based Acquisition), its requirements will be conveyed and administered at the task order level.

(b) The maximum for this indefinite quantity contract (including options) shall be any quantity or combination of supplies and ser-vices equal to $80,000,000.

B.4. FIXED FULLY-LOADED HOURLY LABOR RATES

(a) This section applies to labor-hour arrangements (i.e., task orders or line items in a task order), the time portion of time-and-materials arrangements, and the fixed price under fixed-price arrangements.

(b) Attachment 2 under Section J contains the negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rates.

(c) The labor category description for each labor category identified in Attachment 2 in Section J is located in Attachment 1 in Sec-tion J.

(d) The negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rates are in United States currency.

(e) The negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rates are based on performance by Local National employees only.

(f) Each negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rate consists of an unloaded hourly labor rate, any labor-related direct costs (e.g., any direct fringe benefits, any direct bonuses), applicable indirect costs, and profit amount. It also consists of at least the minimum labor rate and minimum costs required by applicable labor laws. It does not consist of any other costs, including DBA Insurance.

Any other costs that are part of the Contractor’s established compensation plan and consistent with FAR subpart 31.2 shall be alloc-ated separately as an ODC (other direct cost) (under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements) or as a Material (under time-and-materials arrangements) at the task order level. Examples of such costs, if applicable, that shall be allocated separately as an ODC or Material, are post hardship differential pay and danger pay.

(g) Any costs included in the negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rates shall not be charged elsewhere under this contract.

(h) At the task order level, the Government will specify the CLINs for task order performance. The Contractor shall comply unless it has requested and received from the Contracting Officer in advance of task order performance written approval of an alternative (e.g., use of a third-country national).

(i) The following describes the normal workweek for the Contractor and subcontractor employees:

1. A normal workweek falls within a consecutive seven-day period.

2. The negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rates apply to a normal workweek of 40 or 48 hours, respectively.

3. A normal workweek of 40 hours is based on routine performance of eight hours per day multiplied by five days per week.

4. A normal workweek of 48 hours is based on routine performance of eight hours per day multiplied by six days per week.

5. A normal workweek of 40 hours applies to performance in the continental United States (CONUS) or in Bogota, Colombia. “CONUS” means the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia.

6. A normal workweek of 48 hours generally applies to performance in Colombia, excluding Bogota.

7. If the normal workweek for an individual task order differs from a 40-hour or 48-hour normal workweek, the Govern-ment will solicit and negotiate labor rates based on the normal workweek for the individual task order. Such negoti-ated rates will apply only to that task order, unless additionally negotiated into the contract.

(j) Each negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rate applies to all categories of employees, including permanent, temporary, full-time, and part-time.

(k) Any required additional labor categories (i.e. those not identified in attachment 2) will be specified and their associated labor rates will be proposed and negotiated at the task order level. Additional labor categories and associated labor rates proposed and negotiated for an individual task order will apply only to that task order, unless additionally negotiated into the contract.

(l) For labor-hour arrangements and the time portion of time-and-materials arrangements, the Government will pay, for each labor category, the negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rate for only performed labor that meets the labor qualifications specified in the contract and individual task order.

(m)For labor-hour arrangements and the time portion of time-and-materials arrangements, labor hours for each labor category will be paid at the same negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rate regardless of whether the individual performing the labor works (either as an employee or consultant) for the prime contractor or a subcontractor.

(n) For labor-hour arrangements and the time portion of time-and-materials arrangements, the Government will pay the negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rates multiplied by the respective actual incurred hours that the Contracting Officer determines allow-able, pursuant to FAR 52.232-7 (Payments under Time-and-Materials and Labor-Hour Contracts).

(o) For labor-hour arrangements and the time portion of time-and-materials arrangements, the Government will pay the negotiated fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rate minus ___% (to be inserted at award) attributable to profit for those hours the Contractor incurs when replacing or correcting services or materials [reference FAR 52.246-6 (Inspection – Time-and-Material and Labor-Hour)].

(p) Reserved.

(q) For direct labor costs under arrangements when payment is made based on actual costs incurred (e.g., cost-reimbursement ar-rangements, materials portion of time-and-materials arrangements, and progress payments based on costs under fixed-price arrange-ments), the Government will pay the actual incurred unloaded hourly labor rates multiplied by the respective actual incurred hours, subject to the Contracting Officer’s allowability determination, pursuant to FAR 31.201-2 (Determining Allowability).

B.8. TRAVEL COSTS

(a) Travel under this contract is defined as Contractor air and ground transportation, lodging, meals and incid-ental expenses, and passport/visa costs.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Contractor shall be paid its allowable travel costs in accordance with FAR 31.205-46 (Travel Costs).

(c) Travel costs are authorized for travel beyond a 50-miles’ radius of the Contractor employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) whenever work is required to be accomplished at a remote work site.

(d) Local travel shall be processed as follows:

1. If the Government requires a Contractor employee to work an entire normal work day at a site other than the employee’s local place of performance (official duty sta-tion) and the radius between the two locations is within 50 miles, travel costs are gen-erally allowable, but only for any difference in costs between the employee’s normal daily commuting expense and commuting expense resulting from the most economical means of transportation available to the employee, after considering: any physical or medical needs of the employee; and mission requirements. An example is an employ-ee having to attend an all-day local conference.

Payment for time associated with such travel is unallowable.

2. If the Government requires a Contractor employee to work part of a normal work day at a site other than the Contractor employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) and the radius between the two locations is within 50 miles, all travel costs are generally allowable, but only for those costs resulting from the most econom-ical means of transportation available to the employee, after considering: any physical or medical needs of the employee; and mission requirements.

For this section, “part of a normal work day” is one in which the employee arrives at the start of his normal work day to his local place of performance (official duty station) and departs at the end of his normal work day from his local place of performance (official duty station). An example is an employee having to attend a meeting at a De-partment of State site in the middle of the work day.

Payment for time associated with such travel is generally allowable as long as such time is counted as part of the employee’s normal work day.

3. If the Government requires a Contractor employee to work part of a normal work day at a site other than the employee’s local place of performance (official duty sta-tion) and the radius between the two locations is within 50 miles, travel costs are gen-erally allowable, but only for any difference in costs between the employee’s normal daily commuting expense and commuting expense resulting from the most economical means of transportation available to the employee, after considering: any physical or medical needs of the employee; and mission requirements.

For this section, “part of a normal work day” is only one of the following:

a. one in which the employee arrives at the start of his normal work day to his local place of performance (official duty station); or

b. one in which the employee departs at the end of his normal work day from his local place of performance (official duty station).

An example is an employee having to attend an all-morning local meeting and return-ing afterwards to his local place of performance (official duty station).

Payment for time associated with going from the employee’s local place of perform-ance (official duty station) to a site other than the employee’s local place of perform-ance (official duty station) is generally allowable as long as such time is counted as part of the employee’s normal work day.

Similarly, payment for time associated with returning from a site other than the em-ployee’s local place of performance (official duty station) to the employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) is generally allowable as long as such time is counted as part of the employee’s normal work day.

(e) No travel costs (or associated labor time during travel) shall be allowable for regular commuting or telecom-muting beyond (or within) a 50-miles’ radius of the Contractor’s local place of performance (official duty sta-tion).

(f) Costs when using a privately owned vehicle (POV) for official travel are allowable provided that such costs do not exceed costs that would have resulted from use of other reasonable transportation methods (e.g., taxi, air-plane, train). Reasonable associated costs, such as tolls and parking fees, are also generally allowable.

(g) When traveling in a POV for official travel, the Contractor shall be paid mileage costs at a rate that does not exceed the POV mileage rate established by the Internal Revenue Service.

(h) Costs for car rentals for official travel are allowable pursuant to the following:

1. such rentals are consistent with good business practice;

2. such costs do not exceed costs that would have resulted from use of other reasonable transportation methods (e.g., taxi, airplane, train); and

3. such costs do not exceed the actual cost of renting a compact automobile (maximum of one automobile for four Contractor personnel), unless extenuating circumstances (e.g., excess baggage) require other arrangements and Contracting Officer approval is obtained.

Reasonable associated costs, such as tolls and parking fees, are also generally allowable.

(i) The Government will pay the Contractor, under the applicable labor category CLIN(s), for each Contractor employee’s travel time to or from authorized work locations as long as the following are met:

1. Payment of travel time described herein is in accordance with the Contractor’s es-tablished travel policy.

2. Travel time begins no earlier than two (2) hours prior to the scheduled departure time and concludes upon arrival to the initial destination point (e.g., airport) at the place of performance.

3, The Government will not pay for a Contractor employee’s time spent in layovers that are for the convenience of the Contractor employee or Contractor.

4. The Government will not pay more than eight (8) hours per day per Contractor em-ployee for travel time.

5.The Government will not pay for a Contractor employee’s travel time that is outside the employee’s regular working hours.

6. The Government will not pay for a Contractor employee more than the number of hours in the employee’s normal workweek. “Number of hours” includes productive time hours, travel time hours, and paid time off hours (e.g., sick, vacation, holiday).

7. “Productive time hours” consist of hours that, other than travel time hours, directly benefit the contract.

8. Exceptions must be authorized in advance and in writing by the Contracting Officer.

(j) The following items concern passports and visas:

1. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all personnel who will be re-quired to travel outside the United States have a current and valid U.S. passport.

2. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining any visas required for travel to for-eign countries under this contract.

3. The Contractor’s costs for obtaining and maintaining passports and/or visas will be generally allowable, but the Contractor shall pro-rate equitably such costs if they will benefit cost objectives (e.g., contracts) other than this cost objective.

4. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for travel expenses when travel is cancelled or modified as a result of the Contractor’s failure to obtain a visa, and where the Government has determined that such failure is due to the action or inaction of the Contractor.

5. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for the use of private visa pro-curement services provided by a third party.

(k) Costs for travel that has been modified or cancelled are not allowable unless such modification or cancella-tion was caused by the Government or otherwise exceeded the control of the Contractor.

(l) Pursuant to FAR 47.402, 47.403, and the Fly America Act, the Contractor shall use a U.S.-flag air carrier service unless specific conditions exist. If such conditions exist under a fixed-price arrangement (i.e., task order or line item in a task order), the Contractor shall submit with its task order proposal a memorandum explaining why it does not intend to use a U.S.-flag air carrier service. Inclusion of such costs in the awarded fixed-price is contingent upon Government acceptance of such explanation.

If such conditions exist under arrangements when payment is made based on actual costs incurred (e.g., cost-reimbursement arrangements, materials portion of time-and-materials arrangements, and progress payments based on costs under fixed-price arrangements), the Contractor shall submit with its voucher a memorandum ex-plaining why it did not use a U.S.-flag air carrier service. Reimbursement is contingent upon Government ac-ceptance of such explanation.

(m) All travel must be authorized in writing and in advance by the Contracting Officer's Representative or Gov-ernment Technical Monitor. Travel costs will not be reimbursed for any travel for which advance written ap-proval has not been obtained.

B.9. POST HARDSHIP DIFFERENTIAL PAY AND DANGER PAY

Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay, which are forms of incentive compensation, will be generally allowable. Each shall be allocated separately as an ODC (other direct cost) (under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements) or as a Material (under time-and-materials arrangements) at the task order level.

However, Government payment of such costs is contingent on the Contractor meeting all of the following re-quirements:

(a) Paying Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay is part of the Contractor’s established incentive compensation plan or policy, or employer/employee agreement entered into in good faith before the services are rendered, pursuant to FAR 31.205-6(f)(1)(i) (Bonuses and Incentive Compensation).

(b) When paying Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay is part of the Contractor’s established in-centive compensation plan or policy, such plan or policy is followed consistently as to imply, in effect, an agreement to make such payment, pursuant to FAR 31.205-6(f)(1)(i) (Bonuses and Incentive Compensation).

(c) The Contractor's basis for paying Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay is supported, pursu-ant to FAR 31.205-6(f)(1)(ii) (Bonuses and Incentive Compensation).

(d) Payment of such costs is otherwise consistent with FAR subpart 31.2.

(e) Payment will be made only for areas identified as Post Hardship Differential Pay areas and/or Danger Pay areas in Section 920 of the Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR).

(f) Payment will be made only for eligible employees. Eligible employees are employees:

i. whose country of citizenship is not in the task order place of performance; and

ii. whose primary residence is in an area not identified in Section 920 of the DSSR, or an area identified in Section 920 of the DSSR with an applicable DSSR percentage that is less than the respective ap-plicable DSSR percentage for the task order place of performance.

(g) Payment for a given workweek for an eligible employee will not exceed the dollar amount resulting from multiplying the applicable DSSR percentage by the employee’s basic compensation for the given work-week.

(h) The applicable DSSR percentage will be the DSSR percentage effective at the time of task order pro-posal(s) (or later time until task order award, if feasible) when the Contractor proposes and the Government awards the fixed-price under fixed-price arrangements (i.e., task orders or line items in a task order).

(i) The applicable DSSR percentage will be the DSSR percentage effective at the time of task order per-formance for arrangements when payment is made based on actual costs incurred (e.g., cost-reimbursement ar-rangements, materials portion of time-and-materials arrangements, and progress payments based on costs under fixed-price arrangements).

(j) An eligible employee’s basic compensation for a given workweek is the dollar amount attributable to the employee as a result of the employee’s productive hours and paid time off (e.g., sick, vacation, holiday) hours for the given workweek. It is the employee’s base salary/unloaded compensation for the given work-week. However, such compensation must:

i. benefit the task order; and/or

ii. be an equitable amount that is necessary to the overall operation of the business, although a direct relationship to any particular cost objective (e.g., task order) cannot be shown.

(k) The number of hours included in an eligible employee’s basic compensation for a given workweek can-not exceed the number of hours for the task order’s normal workweek. A normal workweek is defined in Sec-tion B.4.

(l) Basic compensation included in the negotiated fixed-price under fixed-price arrangements will consist of each eligible employee’s negotiated base salary/unloaded compensation for the task order period of perform-ance.

(m) Basic compensation will consist of actual incurred base salary/unloaded compensation for arrangements when payment is made based on actual costs incurred (e.g., cost-reimbursement arrangements, materials portion of time-and-materials arrangements, and progress payments based on costs under fixed-price arrangements).

(n) An eligible employee may receive Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay during paid time off only when the employee takes paid time off in the task order place of performance or in another Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay area, respectively.

(o) When an eligible employee takes paid time off in another Post Hardship Differential Pay and/or Danger Pay area, payment will be based on the applicable DSSR percentage(s) for the task order place of performance.

(p) Payment of Post Hardship Differential Pay for an eligible employee will not commence until the eli-gible employee has served 42 calendar days in the task order place of performance. Payment will commence on the first productive or non-productive day after day 42, and will not be retroactive to days previously served un-less paragraph “q” immediately below applies. The 42 calendar days are not required to be consecutive, and “served” consists of productive time, paid time off, and time otherwise spent in the task order place of perform-ance.

(q) Once an eligible employee has served 42 calendar days in the task order place of performance, payment of Post Hardship Differential Pay will be retroactive to day 1 served in the task order place of performance if the task order place of performance is in an area identified in Footnote N in the Post Classification and Payment Tables in Section 920 of the DSSR. Currently, Afghanistan and Iraq are the only such areas.

(r) Payment of Post Hardship Differential Pay for an eligible employee will conclude when the eligible employee departs the task order place of performance, unless such departure is to another Post Hardship Differ-ential Pay area during paid time off.

(s) For Post Hardship Differential Pay, when an eligible employee has not yet served 42 calendar days and returns to the task order place of performance after an absence from the task order place of performance, the number of days served resumes on the day of return. For example, if an eligible employee served 30 calendar days in the task order place of performance and departed the task order place of performance for 14 days, the day of return (day 44) will be considered day 31 of days served.

(t) Payment of Danger Pay for an eligible employee will commence on the day of arrival in the task order place of performance and conclude on the day of departure from the task order place of performance, unless such departure is to another Danger Pay area during paid time off.

B.10. DEFENSE BASE ACT (DBA) INSURANCE

(a) DBA Insurance costs are generally allowable for performance outside the United States, but only for covered Contractor and subcontractor employees pursuant to DOSAR 652.228-71 [Worker’s Compensation In-surance (Defense Base Act) – Services].

(b) In addition, DBA Insurance costs are generally allowable for performance outside the United States, but only when such costs accord with the terms of the Contractor’s DBA Insurance policy, law, and regulation.

(c) DBA Insurance costs shall be allocated separately as an ODC (other direct cost) (under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements) or as a Material (under time-and-materials arrangements) at the task order level.

B.11. OVERTIME

(a) The Contractor agrees to perform this contract, so far as practicable, without using overtime, particularly as a regular employment practice, except when lower overall costs to the Government will result or when it is necessary to meet urgent program needs [reference FAR 22.103-2 (Overtime – Policy)].

(b) Overtime is defined as time worked in excess of the number of hours in a normal workweek.

(c) “Number of hours” includes productive time hours, travel time hours, and paid time off hours (e.g., sick, vacation, holiday).

(d) “Productive time hours” consist of hours that, other than travel time hours, directly benefit the contract.

(e) “Travel time hours” consist of hours spent by the employee traveling to or from authorized work loca-tions. See Section B.8(i) for further information.

(f) A normal workweek is defined in Section B.4(i).

(g) For fixed-price arrangements (i.e., task orders or line items in a task order), the Government will not pay for overtime.

(h) The following applies to cost-reimbursement arrangements and the materials portion of time-and-materials arrangements (task orders or line items in a task order):

1. Government payment for overtime must be authorized in advance of any Contractor employee’s performance of overtime and in writing by the Contracting Officer when the Contractor requests an overtime premium cost that exceeds $0.00. Such request shall be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer and shall address each item un-der FAR 52.222-2(b) (Payment for Overtime Premiums).

2. Evidence showing the Contracting Officer’s approval shall be sent with each invoice on which overtime containing a premium cost that exceeds $0.00 is being billed.

3. Advance Government authorization for any Contractor employee’s performance of overtime is not required when the overtime premium cost does not exceed $0.00.

4. Unless advance authorization has been granted pursuant to Section B.11(h)(1), any Government payment for Contractor employee overtime will be made at the actual in-curred straight-time hourly labor rate that the Contractor pays the Contractor employee and determined allowable by the Contracting Officer, pursuant to FAR 31.201-2

(Determining Allowability).

5. Government payment for overtime must not conflict with any Contractor uncom-pensated overtime policy or practice. If the Contractor has such a policy or practice, the Government will not compensate the Contractor for overtime costs in accordance with such policy or practice.

(i) The following applies to labor-hour arrangements and the time portion of time-and-materials arrangements (task orders or line items in a task order):

1. Government payment for overtime will be made at the fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rates negotiated in Section B.4(b) unless a different rate is approved in writing by the Contracting Officer at the task order level.

2. Advance written COR authorization for any Contractor employee’s performance of overtime is required.

3. Government payment of overtime will be made only if the Contractor compensates the Contractor employee for the employee’s overtime performance. Contractor pay-ment for each overtime hour shall be, at a minimum, at the regular hourly labor rate that the employee actually receives for normal workweek performance, and, if applic-able, at the overtime premium that the employee actually receives for overtime per-formance.

B.12. RESERVED

B.13. ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING

(a) At the task order level, when payment is made based on actual hours or costs incurred (e.g., cost-reimbursement arrangements, time-and-materials arrangements, and progress payments based on costs under fixed-price arrangements), the Government will not reimburse costs for cost elements for which there were no estimated costs. Any exceptions must be approved in writing by the Contracting Officer.

(b) While compensation costs and compensation-related taxes that are a liability of the Contractor are gen-erally allowable, income taxes on compensation costs are unallowable when such taxes are a liability of the em-ployee and not the Contractor.

(c) The Contractor’s costs to remove and replace Contractor personnel from the task order performance location, as a result of such personnel doing the following, are unallowable: jeopardizing or interfering with mission accomplishment; disrupting good order and discipline; violating applicable laws, regulations, orders, instructions, policies, or directives; and/or failing to comply with or violating applicable requirements of this contract and the awarded task order.

(d) Where indirect cost rates are negotiated in the contract, such information will be used in each resulting task order, as specified in the…
