All documents produced under this contract shall be Government owned and are the property of the Government with all rights and privileges of ownership/copyright belonging exclusively to the Government. These documents may not be used or sold by the Contractor without permission from the KO. All materials supplied to the Government shall be the sole property and may not be used for any other purpose. This right does not abrogate any other Government rights.

1.5.20. Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI). Contractor personnel performing work under this contract will not have access to, or participate in the development of proprietary information which may create a current or subsequent OCI as defined in FAR subpart 9.5. The Contractor shall notify the KO immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access may result in an actual or potential OCI and shall promptly submit a plan to the KO to avoid or mitigate any such OCI (Deliverable: Technical Exhibit 2 - Item 7 and Attachment 1). The United States Army Medical Research Materiel Command (USAMRMC) has categorized all service procurements into one of the following three (3) mutually exclusive categories regardless of the contract vehicle used to procure the services:

Category 1 - Program and/or Administrative Support. Services which, by their very nature, give the Contractor access to non-public procurement sensitive data about the contract requirements, other contractors’ proprietary information, or put the contractor in a position to influence the award decision on a contract in which they are participating. Services would be characterized as having access to Command Wide procurement sensitive information, or work that could likely have an influence over follow-on awards or contracts within subordinate directorates/Commands.

Category 2 - Program and/or Administrative Support. Services which assist in planning and managing an organization’s activities and programs. These include, for example: requirements analysis, acquisition support, budget planning and management, business, process reengineering, program planning and execution support, and independent technical management support. Services would be characterized as having access to only Directorate or Subordinate Command level procurement sensitive information or work that would have little influence on follow-on requirements or requirements of other directorates/Subordinate Commands.

Category 3 - Product Support. Services or end items required to meet the mission requirements of the organization’s activities and programs. These include, for example: concept exploration and development, system design, system development and integration, COTS Procurement and integration, internal development testing, deployment, installation, operations, and maintenance. Services can be characterized as having little or no access to procurement sensitive information other than the immediate requirement and little chances of follow-on work that can be influenced by the immediate requirement.

1.5.20.1. OCI Certification. This requirement may be used to acquire any USAMRMC OCI Category 2: Program and/or Administrative Support requirement that falls within the scope of the PWS. This requirement specifically excludes – Category 1 – Program and/or Administrative Support and Category 2 Product Support. The Contractor shall sign and submit the USAMRMC OCI certification statement (Deliverable: Technical Exhibit 2 - Item 7).

Failure to adhere to this statement may constitute default on the part of the Contractor.

1.5.21. Non-Disclosure Agreement. The Contractor shall sign one copy of the non-disclosure agreement on behalf of their company and shall ensure that all staff including all employees, subcontractors, and consultants assigned to or performing on that order execute, sign, and adhere to the terms of the non-disclosure statement (Deliverable:

Technical Exhibit 2 - Item 8 and Attachment 2). Assignment of staff who has not executed this statement or failure to adhere to this statement shall constitute default on the part of the Contractor.

1.5.23. Personnel Removal. Government rules, regulations, laws, directives, and requirements issued during the term of the performance period relating to law and order, installation administration, and security shall be applicable to all Contractor employees and representatives who enter the installation. Violation of such rules, regulations, laws, directives, or requirements shall be grounds for removal (permanently or temporarily as the Government determines) from the work site or installation. Removal of employee does not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility for the work defined in this contract.

Removal by Installation Commander: The Installation Commander may, at their discretion, bar an individual from the installation under the authority of 18 USC 1382 (1972), for conduct that is determined to be contrary to good order, discipline, or installation security and safety.

IAW DoDI 2000.16, the FPCON is defined as follows:

FPCON ALPHA. This condition applies when there is a general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel and facilities, the nature and extent of which are unpredictable, and circumstances do not justify full implementation of FPCON BRAVO measures. However, it may be necessary to implement certain measures from higher THREATCONS resulting from intelligence received or as a deterrent. The measures in this THREATCON must be capable of being maintained indefinitely.

FPCON BRAVO. This condition applies when an increased and more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists.

The measures in this THREATCON must be capable of being maintained for weeks without causing undue hardship, affecting operational capability, and aggravating relations with local authorities.

FPCON CHARLIE. This condition applies when an incident occurs or intelligence received indicating some form of terrorist action against personnel and facilities is imminent. Implementation of measures in this THREATCON for more than a short period probably will create hardship and affect the peacetime activities of the unit and its personnel.
