Exchange contracts are United States contracts; however, they do not obligate appropriated funds of the United States. Exchange procurement policy is established by applicable directives and instructions promulgated by the Department of Defense. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) does not apply to the Exchange.
2. AUTHORITY TO BIND (NOV 95).
a. “Contracting Officer” means a person authorized by the Director/CEO, Army and Air Force Exchange Service to execute and administer contracts, purchase orders, or other agreements on behalf of the Exchange. Only contracting officers may waive or change contract terms; impose additional contract requirements; issue cure, show-cause and termination notices; issue claims against contractors, and issue final decisions on contractor claims.
b. The contracting officer may authorize other Exchange and government officials to perform actions of an administrative nature, such as conducting inspections and audits; placing orders against existing contracts; forwarding requests for contract changes to the contracting officer; collecting contract payments, and processing routine documents.
These officials are not contracting officers, as defined in a. above.
c. The Exchange has no obligation to recognize or accept waivers or changes to this contract that result from the actions of officials other than the contracting officer. The contracting officer may deny claims based on such actions.
Contractors should refer questions concerning the authority of other Exchange or government officials to the contracting officer.
3. PROCUREMENT INTEGRITY (APR 12).

(2) that no offer, promise or gift of any gratuity, entertainment, money, or other thing of value has been or will be made to any Exchange civilian or military personnel or any other employee of the United States Government or member of their family or household;
(3) no proprietary information of other offerors or other purchasing information (offeror list, prices offered, technical evaluations or rankings, etc.) is sought or obtained until it is available to the public under the Exchange procedures.
(4) that no person or selling agency has been employed or retained to secure this contract upon an agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage, brokerage or contingent fee except bona fide employees or bona fide established commercial selling agencies retained by the contractor for the purpose of securing business.
b. Contractor certifies that no gratuities (entertainment, gifts, money, kickbacks or other things of value) were or will be solicited or accepted by the contractor, or any person representing the contractor, from any subcontractor or person representing the subcontractor, for the purpose of obtaining or rewarding favorable treatment in connection with this contract or any subcontract under it.
c. Contractor will report in writing to the Director, Loss Prevention Directorate, any possible violation of this clause when the contractor has reasonable grounds to believe a violation may have occurred.

5. SERVICE CONTRACT ACT OF 1965 AS AMENDED.

(1) Each service employee employed in the performance of this contract by the contractor or any subcontractor shall be paid not less than the minimum monetary wages and shall be furnished fringe benefits in accordance with the wages and fringe benefits determined by the Secretary of Labor or authorized representative, as specified in any wage determination attached to this contract.
(2)
(a) If there is such a wage determination attached to this contract, the contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed therein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such conformed class of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and

EXHIBIT B LABOR PROVISIONS - WITH SCA (MAY 12) PAGE 2
furnished the fringe benefits as are determined pursuant to the procedures in this section. (The information collection requirements contained in the following paragraphs of this section have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB control number 1215-0150.)
(b) Such conforming procedure shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class of employee. A written report of the proposed conforming action, including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved or, where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves, shall be submitted by the contractor to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class of employees performs any contract work. The contracting officer shall review the proposed action and promptly submit a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendation and all pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, for review. The Wage and Hour Division will approve, modify, or disapprove the action or render a final determination in the event of disagreement within 30 days of receipt or will notify the contracting officer within 30 days of receipt that additional time is necessary.
(c) The final determination of the conformance action by the Wage and Hour Division shall be transmitted to the contracting officer who shall promptly notify the contractor of the action taken. Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (d) ((1)) The process of establishing wage and fringe benefit rates that bear a reasonable relationship to those listed in a wage determination cannot be reduced to any single formula. The approach used may vary from wage determination to wage determination depending on the circumstances. Standard wage and salary administration practices which rank various job classifications by pay grade pursuant to point schemes or other job factors may, for example, be relied upon. Guidance may also be obtained from the way different jobs are rated under Federal pay systems (Federal Wage Board Pay System and the General Schedule) or from other wage determinations issued in the same locality. Basic to the establishment of any conformable wage rate(s) is the concept that a pay relationship should be maintained between job classifications based on the skill required and the duties performed.
((2)) In the case of a contract modification, an exercise of an option or extension of an existing contract, or in any other case where a contractor succeeds a contract under which the classification in question was previously conformed pursuant to this section, a new conformed wage rate and fringe benefits may be assigned to such conformed classification by indexing (i.e., adjusting) the previous conformed rate and fringe benefits by an amount equal to the average (mean) percentage increase (or decrease, where appropriate) between the wages and fringe benefits specified for all classifications to be used on the contract which are listed in the current wage determination, and those specified for the corresponding classifications in the previously applicable wage determination. Where conforming actions are accomplished in accordance with this paragraph prior to the performance of contract work by the unlisted class of employees, the contractor shall advise the contracting officer of the action taken but the other procedures in paragraph b(2)(b) of this section need not be followed.
((3)) No employee engaged in performing work on this contract shall in any event be paid less than the currently applicable minimum wage specified under section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended.
(e) The wage rate and fringe benefits finally determined pursuant to paragraphs b(2)(a) and (b) of this section shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested parties and/or finally determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act and this contract.
(f) Upon discovery of failure to comply with paragraphs b(2)(a) through (e) of this section, the Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which shall be retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract work.
(3) If, as authorized pursuant to section 4(d) of the Service Contract Act of 1965 as amended, the term of this contract is more than 1 year, the minimum monetary wages and fringe benefits required to be paid or furnished thereunder to service employees shall be subject to adjustment after 1 year and not less often than once every 2 years, pursuant to wage determinations to be issued by the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration of the Department of Labor as provided in such Act.
(a) Service Contract act Price Adjustment. This applies to both contracts subject to area prevailing wage determinations and contracts subject to Contractor collective bargaining agreements.
((1)) The Contractor warrants that the prices in this contract do not include any allowance for any contingency to cover increased costs for which adjustment is provided under this clause.
((2)) The contract price, contract unit price labor rates, or fixed hourly labor rates will be adjusted to reflect increases or decreases by the Contractor in wages and fringe benefits to the extent that these increases or decreases are made to comply with—
((a)) An increased or decreased wage determination applied to this contract by operation of law; or ((b)) An amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 that is enacted subsequent to award of this contract, affects the minimum wage, and becomes applicable to this contract under law.
((c)) Any such adjustment will be limited to increases or decreases in wages and fringe benefits as described in paragraph ((1)) of this clause, and to the accompanying increases or decreases in social security and
