*** End of Narrative A0000 ***

1. The following narrative is an addendum to FAR 52.212-1. This executive summary is provided as a synopsis of important and relevant features of this solicitation. If conflicts exists between this summary and the provisions of the solicitation, the provisions of the solicitation govern.

2. The purpose of this solicitation is to form multiple Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) with Offerors who can provide Artificial

Intelligence (AI) Talent services available to the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO), Department of Defense

(DoD), and the entire U.S. Government as described in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). This is a commercial acquisition. The BOA is open for ordering to the U.S. Government in support of AI Talent services. This is a decentralized vehicle that is established for decentralized ordering.

3. The Government intends to issue 10 (ten) BOAs resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror(s) whose submission(s) conforms to the solicitation and will be the most advantageous to the Government. The Government reserves the right to make an unlimited number of BOA awards, if warranted by the quality and quantity of submissions.

4. Each BOA will be reviewed at least annually, and, if necessary, updated at that time and as described in the on-ramp/off-ramp procedures. The BOA will be active for five years from date of agreement execution. During the final year, the BOA will be reviewed to determine if it will be renewed.

5. In accordance with (IAW) DFARS 216.703, the period during which orders may be placed against this BOA may not exceed 5 years. The estimated ceiling value for all task orders resulting from the AI Talent BOAs and any future on-ramps is $249,000,000.00. Task Orders issued from resulting BOAs will be set-aside for Small Business. Task orders issued under the BOAs can be firm-fixed price (FFP), time and materials (T&M), and/or a hybrid of FFP and T&M.

6. A Small Business Subcontracting Plan is not required at the BOA level. This BOA will be exclusively small business, so FAR Subpart

19.7 does not apply. This requirement is a 100% small business set-aside.

7. The execution of a BOA does not guarantee that the Government will place future orders with the Contractor(s). There is no guaranteed minimum for BOA holders. The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases awarded under Task Order competitions.

8. This solicitation contains the terms and conditions that will apply to the BOAs and to all task orders issued under the BOAs.

Additional terms and conditions may be added as required to task orders/task order solicitations.

SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The following procedures are included as an addendum to FAR 52.212-4.

On-Ramp Procedures:

1. Each BOA will be reviewed at least annually and, if necessary, updated at that time. However, the Government reserves the right to reopen competition at any time at the discretion of the Government. The Procuring Contracting Officer may assess the amount of competition available and review the need for additional contractors to ensure a sufficient amount of vendors to meet the requirements.

2. When an on-ramp is conducted, the Government will advertise the reopening of the competition to Beta.SAM, and in order to receive a

BOA, the contractor shall meet the criteria in which the initial BOAs were awarded. The evaluation and selection of awardees for any on-ramp will be the same as the evaluation and award criteria used for the initial BOAs.

3. Any new BOA holder will compete with any existing or remaining BOA holders for future task orders, as applicable.

4. Any BOA awarded to a Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA) IAW FAR Subpart 9.6, which the CTA partners choose to dissolve or change its

CTA will have to recompete for another BOA during the onramp period.

Off-Ramp Procedures:

1. The Government reserves the right to review all BOAs to determine if it is appropriate to remove existing BOA holders. The Government may evaluate the benefit of conducting an off-ramp on an annual basis; however, the Government may conduct an off-ramp at any time at the discretion of the Government.

2. Any contractor that has not submitted an Offer on any task orders over the period of one year will be considered for off-ramping.

3. Additionally, any BOA holder that has received a rating of unsatisfactory in CPARS on any task order under this BOA will be considered for off-ramping.

4. Any contractor that is off-ramped shall not receive any further task order awards under the BOA. However, any contractor that is off-ramped shall be responsible to continue and complete performance on any existing task order in accordance with the terms and conditions of those task orders.

5. Any BOA awarded to a CTA IAW FAR Subpart 9.6, which is subsequently off-ramped will have to follow the procedures outlined in an on-ramp period in order to receive another BOA.

Contractor Performance Information:

1. The successful offeror/bidder under this solicitation is advised that after contract award its performance under this contract will be subject to an assessment(s) in accordance with FAR 42.15 and AFARS 5142.1503. The Department of Defense (DoD) Contractors Performance

Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) will be used to maintain the performance report(s) generated on this contract. The rating system to be used in this assessment shall be as follows:

Exceptional: Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Governments benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective.

Very Good: Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Governments benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

Satisfactory: Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

Marginal: Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractors proposed actions

5 40

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

Unsatisfactory: Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub element contains serious problem(s) for which the contractors corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

2. The evaluation procedures to be used in this assessment, which include coordination with the contractor, are detailed in AFARS

5142.1503.

9 40

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

Labor hours incurred to perform tasks for which labor qualifications were specified in the contract will not be paid to the extent the work is performed by individuals that do not meet the qualifications specified in the contract, unless specifically authorized by the

Contracting Officer.

(C) Invoices may be submitted once each month (or at more frequent intervals, if approved by the Contracting Officer) to the

Contracting Officer or the authorized representative.

(D) When requested by the Contracting Officer or the authorized representative, the Contractor shall substantiate invoices

(including any subcontractor hours reimbursed at the hourly rate in the schedule) by evidence of actual payment, individual daily job timecards, records that verify the employees meet the qualification s for the labor categories specified in the contract, or other substantiation specified in the contract.

(E) Unless the Schedule prescribes otherwise, the hourly rates in the Schedule shall not be varied by virtue of the Contractor having performed work on an overtime basis.

(1) If no overtime rates are provided in the Schedule and the Contracting Officer approves overtime work in advance, overtime rates shall be negotiated.

(2) Failure to agree upon these overtime rates shall be treated as a dispute under the Disputes clause of this contract.

(3) If the Schedule provided rates for overtime, the premium portion of those rates will be reimbursable only to the extent the overtime is approved by the Contracting Officer.

(2) Any modifications necessary because of contract requirements.

(B) Except as provided for in paragraph (i)(1)(ii)(A) and (D)(2) of this clause, the Government will reimburse the Contractor the actual cost of materials (less any rebates, refunds, or discounts received by the contractor that are identifiable to the contract) provided the Contractor

(2) Total cost. It is estimated that the total cost to the Government for the performance of this contract shall not exceed the ceiling price set forth in the Schedule and the Contractor agrees to use its best efforts to perform the work specified in the Schedule and all obligations under this contract within such ceiling price. If at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that the hourly rate payments and material costs that will accrue in performing this contract in the next succeeding 30 days, if added to all other payments and costs previously accrued, will exceed 85 percent of the ceiling price in the Schedule, the Contractor shall notify the

Contracting Officer giving a revised estimate of the total price to the Government for performing this contract with supporting reasons and documentation. If at any time during the performance of this contract, the Contractor has reason to believe that the total price to the Government for performing this contract will be substantially greater or less than the then stated ceiling price, the Contractor

10 40

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

shall so notify the Contracting Officer, giving a revised estimate of the total price for performing this contract, with supporting reasons and documentation. If at any time during performance of this contract, the Government has reason to believe that the work to be required in performing this contract will be substantially greater or less than the stated ceiling price, the Contracting Officer will so advise the Contractor, giving the then revised estimate of the total amount of effort to be required under the contract.

(3) Ceiling price. The Government will not be obligated to pay the Contractor any amount in excess of the ceiling price in the

Schedule, and the Contractor shall not be obligated to continue performance if to do so would exceed the ceiling price set forth in the

Schedule, unless and until the Contracting Officer notifies the contractor in writing that the ceiling price has been increased and specifies in the notice a revised ceiling that shall constitute the ceiling price for performance under this contract. When and to the extent that the ceiling price set forth in the Schedule has been increased, any hours expended and material costs incurred by the

Contractor in excess of the ceiling price before the increase shall be allowable to the same extent as if the hours expended and material costs had been incurred after the increase in the ceiling price.

(4) Access to records. At any time before final payment under this contract, the Contracting Officer (or authorized representative) will have access to the following (access shall be limited to the listing below unless otherwise agreed to by the Contractor and the

Contracting Officer):

(i) Records that verify that the employees whose time has been included in any invoice met the qualifications for the labor categories specified in the contract.

(ii) For labor hours (including any subcontractor hours reimbursed at the hourly rate in the schedule), when timecards are required as substantiation for payment

(A) The original timecards (paper-based or electronic);

(B) The Contractors timekeeping procedures;

(C) Contractor records that show the distribution of labor between jobs or contracts; and

(D) Employees whose time has been included in any invoice for the purpose of verifying that these employees have worked the hours shown on the invoices.

(iii) For material and subcontract costs that are reimbursed on the basis of actual cost

(A) Any invoices or subcontract agreements substantiating material costs; and

(B) any documents supporting payment of those invoices.

(5) Overpayments/Underpayments. Each payment previously made shall be subject to reduction to the extent of amounts, on preceding invoices, that are found by the Contracting Officer not to have been properly payable and shall also be subject to reduction for overpayments or to increase for underpayments. The Contractor shall promptly pay any such reduction within 30 days unless the parties agree otherwise. The Government within 30 days will pay any such increases, unless the parties agree otherwise. The Contractor's payment will be made by check. If the Contractor becomes aware of a duplicate invoice payment or that the Government has otherwise overpaid on an invoice payment, the Contractor shall--

(i) Remit the overpayment amount to the payment office cited in the contract along with a description of the overpayment including the--

(A) Circumstances of the overpayment (e.g., duplicate payment, erroneous payment, liquidation errors, date(s) of overpayment);

(B) Affected contract number and delivery order number, if applicable;

(C) Affected line item or subline item, if applicable; and

(2) Delivery of the supplies to the Government at the destination specified in the contract, if transportation is f.o.b. destination.

(k) Taxes. The contract price includes all applicable Federal, State, and local taxes and duties.

(l) Termination for the Governments convenience. The Government reserves the right to terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for its sole convenience. In the event of such termination, the Contractor shall immediately stop all work hereunder and shall immediately cause any and all of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of this contract, the Contractor shall be paid an amount for direct labor hours (as defined in the Schedule of the contract) determined by multiplying the number of direct labor hours expended before the effective date of termination by the hourly rate(s) in the contract, less any hourly rate payments already made to the Contractor plus reasonable charges the Contractor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Government using its standard record keeping system that have resulted from the termination. The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting standards or contract cost principles for this purpose. This paragraph does not give the Government any right to audit the Contractors records. The Contractor shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred that reasonably could have been avoided.

(m) Termination for cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default by the

Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government, upon written request, with adequate assurances of future performance. Subject to the terms of this contract, the Contractor shall be paid an amount computed under paragraph (i) Payments of this clause, but the "hourly rate" for labor hours expended in furnishing work not delivered to or accepted by the Government shall be reduced to exclude that portion of the rate attributable to profit. Unless otherwise specified in paragraph (a)(4) of this clause, the portion of the "hourly rate" attributable to profit shall be 10 percent. In the event of termination for cause, the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.

(n) Title. Unless specified elsewhere in this contract, title to items furnished under this contract shall pass to the Government upon acceptance, regardless of when or where the Government takes physical possession.

(o) Warranty. The Contractor warrants and implies that the items delivered hereunder are merchantable and fit for use for the particular purpose described in this contract.

(p) Limitation of liability. Except as otherwise provided by an express warranty, the Contractor will not be liable to the Government for consequential damages resulting from any defect or deficiencies in accepted items.

(q) Other compliances. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws, executive orders, rules and regulations applicable to its performance under this contract.

(r) Compliance with laws unique to Government contracts. The Contractor agrees to comply with 31 U.S.C. 1352 relating to limitations on the use of appropriated funds to influence certain Federal contracts; 18 U.S.C. 431 relating to officials not to benefit; 40 U.S.C.

chapter 37, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards; 41 U.S.C. chapter 87, Kickbacks; 41 U.S.C. 4712 and 10 U.S.C. 2409 relating to whistleblower protections; 49 U.S.C. 40118, Fly American; and 41 U.S.C. chapter 21 relating to procurement integrity.

(s) Order of precedence. Any inconsistencies in this solicitation or contract shall be resolved by giving precedence in the following order:

(2) The Assignments, Disputes, Payments, Invoice, Other Compliances, and Compliance with Laws Unique to Government Contracts, and

Unauthorized Obligations paragraphs of this clause;

(t) Removed and reserved.

(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 User 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.

(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.
