SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Delivery Order (DO) Issuance Procedures_______________________________________

All products to be delivered under this contract will be set forth in individual DOs issued on DD Form 1155, Order for Supplies or

Services. DOs issued under this single award contract shall be bilateral. Individual DOs will use the uniform Procurement Instrument

Identification (PII) numbering system described by Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 204.7001. DOs shall typically be awarded after negotiations have been completed and both parties agree on the scope, terms and price for the DO. However, under urgent situations, undefinitized DOs may be issued and will include directions regarding work, schedule and costs that may not be exceeded pending definitization of the DO.

The DO process commences with the Government issuing a Statement of Work (SOW) and requesting a DO proposal. The offeror shall submit to the Contract Officer (KO) a DO proposal within 10 calendar days after receiving the DO SOW. The 10 calendar-day requirement may be increased or decreased by the KO based upon the complexity of the SOW. Specific directions to complete the DO proposal will be provided by the KO. The DO proposal shall provide the offeror's detailed approach to accomplishing the requirements of the task, shall identify any risks and the Contractors plan to mitigate the risks, shall include milestones/schedules to accomplish the tasks and shall identify the offeror's price for completing the task. Pricing shall be presented in terms of labor, materials and travel during DO period of performance and shall reflect the Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) as set forth in Section B of this contract. Contractor Logistics

Support (CLS) will be priced as a percentage of CLINs 0005-0017 and 0021. CLINs will be Firm Fixed Price (FFP) (except Travel which will be Cost Reimbursable (CR)) with prices being negotiated and set at contract award.

DOs will be FFP (except Travel which will be awarded as CR). Each DO will define the required services, deliverables and standards necessary to achieve the Governments desired outcomes.

The offeror will have the option to voluntarily submit post-award Value Engineering Change Proposals (VCEP). In accordance with FAR

48.101(b)(1), the contractor must use their own resources to develop and submit VECPs. This voluntary approach should not in itself increase costs to the Government.

Uncompensated overtime, overtime and temporary labor shall be fully disclosed in all proposal submissions in response to request for proposals, as use of this type of labor may have a direct impact on the technical approach proposed. Temporary labor shall be clearly identified and used at a minimum to support tasking. Maximum usage of temporary labor is considered six months or less.

The offeror shall not exceed the firm fixed price specified in each DO without the prior written approval of the KO. Any changes to the

DO scope of work shall be documented by a modification to the DO. The KO shall acknowledge each event individually.

At no time shall any understanding or agreement, contract modification, change order or other matter in deviation from the terms of this contract between the offeror and a person other than the KO be effective or binding upon the Government. All such actions must be formalized by a proper contractual document executed by the KO. The Government will not be obligated to reimburse the offeror for work performed, items delivered, or any costs incurred, nor shall the offeror be obligated to perform, deliver or otherwise incur costs except as authorized by duly executed DOs.

DO execution will typically follow the path set forth below.

Installation DOs. The Government plans to award a DO for each installation. Each installation DO includes site survey, design, fielding and logistics support.

Delivery Order Pricing______________________

The DOs shall be priced using the agreed upon fixed CLIN prices in the definitized contract and the final negotiated prices for the unpriced CLINs (such as Changes and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs)). Final price definitization will be based on the offerors pricing in the proposal submitted following negotiation with the Government.

Labor: Labor for unpriced CLINs (such as Changes and ECPs) shall be proposed, In Accordance With (IAW) negotiated Attachment 0006 -

Pricing Model, using the labor categories and fixed unit rates defined in the base contract. Any additional labor categories proposed after contract award must be approved by the KO and will require modification to the base contract. Downward adjustments to these rates may be made to reflect conditions present at the place of performance stated in the DO.

Equipment/Material: Equipment/Material shall be proposed, IAW Attachment 0008 - AIE 3.4 HW/SW List, at the fixed unit rates definitized in the base contract. Equipment/Material refers to any Hardware, Software and miscellaneous material the offeror requires to field their proposed system. Downward adjustments to these rates may be made to reflect conditions present at the place of performance stated in the

DO. In the event that equipment/material is proposed to be provided by the offeror or one of the firms subcontractors, the offeror shall provide evidence of competitive pricing and other terms of purchase that clearly demonstrate that the rationale supporting the selection of the offeror or subcontractor as the provider of the equipment/material. This information shall be sufficient to demonstrate no undue bias toward the offeror or subcontractor and fair market rates based on comparable equipment and materials.

Training: Training curriculum will be established by the contractor within their proposal. Construction Services: Under the life of this

5 25

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

contract, it is not envisioned that extensive Construction Services would be required. However, there may be a need for light construction services such as possible remediation of site preparation work. Construction services are those services that are incidental to and necessary to complete the deliveries required in specific DOs.

Construction services shall be proposed on the Changes CLIN. The labor proposed for construction services shall be presented to clearly demonstrate compliance with the Davis Bacon Act (DBA) wage determination provided with the applicable DOs and to present the basis for profit proposed. Construction services labor shall be priced for the period required for the DO and is not subject to escalation. In the event the location of performance is exempt from DBA, the offeror shall provide the basis for the rates proposed in the supporting pricing detail provided with the DO.

Travel: Travel shall be conducted IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31.205-46. Travel shall be priced IAW the estimates provided in the DO, or as instructed in the request for DO proposal. The contractor shall notify the Government when travel funds have reached 75% expended. Travel is on a cost-reimbursement basis only and includes General and Administrative (G&A). Profit and fees are not allowed on travel.

Reimbursement for travel, subsistence and lodging shall be paid to the offeror only to the extent that it is necessary for performance of DOs under this contract. Only per diem that does not exceed the maximum rates set forth in the following shall be considered to be reasonable:

1. Federal travel regulations (in effect at the time of travel) prescribed by the General Services Administration for travel in the contiguous 48 United States.

2. Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) prescribed by DoD for travel in Alaska, Hawaii, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the territories and possessions of the United States.

3. Standardized regulations (Government civilians, foreign areas), Section 925, Maximum Travel Per Diem Allowances in Foreign Areas, prescribed by Department of State (DoS), for travel in areas not covered in subparagraphs 1 and 2 above.

The application of the rates described above would not constitute a reasonable charge (1) when no lodging costs are incurred; (2) more than one person/employee uses the same room for lodging; and/or (3) on partial travel days (day of departure and return). Appropriate downward adjustments from the maximum per diem rates shall be required under these circumstances. Fractional parts of a day shall be payable on a prorated basis for purposes of billing for per diem charges attributed to subsistence on days of travel (1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 day basis).

Only actual transportation fare via the most direct routes (non-first class) between place of origin and destination is reasonable. Cost for delays enroute (excluding Government-caused delays, unavoidable airline schedule delays, and major acts of nature causing an unavoidable delay) are not reasonable. Per Diem is reasonable only when paid at JTR rates. To the extent available, suitable Government quarters, messing, and surface transportation facilities may be used. Rental cars shall be reimbursed up to economy size only when travel is conducted by a single person. Refundable tickets may be approved by the KO or Contracting Officers Representative (COR) on a case by case basis.

Per Diem shall be limited to payments to employees for authorized travel as described above and is not to exceed the authorized amount.

The offeror shall retain supporting documentation for per diem paid to employees as evidence of actual payments.

Travel will not be reimbursed for offeror personnel performing services at the offerors home facility or at any location within a 50-mile driving radius of the offerors home facility. The Government will not reimburse the offeror for any travel or commuting costs, lodging, or per diem, whether part-time or full-time, from their home of record to the offerors facility, for any offeror employee or subcontractor employee, subject matter expert, consultant, or temporary labor.

The Government will not reimburse relocation costs of any offeror employee at the start of or during performance of this requirement.

The offeror shall have sufficient staff to perform the requirement to meet cost, schedule and acceptable quality level.

Meetings, briefings, etc, conducted by firms are considered to be part of normal day-to-day business functions and are considered to be the indirect costs of doing business.

Meetings between the Government and the offeror should be conducted in such a manner that is efficient, effective and cost effective.

The Government will not entertain nor reimburse for any travel costs outside of JTR allowable expenses. This includes all subcontractors through all tiers, subject matter experts, consultantsand temporary labor. This does not infer, directly or indirectly, that an offeror would change their internal policy as the Government is not privy to an offerors internal policies. Requests for exceptions to this shall be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The offeror agrees, in the performance of necessary travel, to use the lowest cost mode commensurate with the requirements of the mission. When it is necessary to use air or rail travel, the offeror agrees to use coach, tourist class, or similar accommodations to the extent consistent with the successful and economical accomplishment of the mission for which the travel is being performed.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

Documentation must be provided to substantiate non-availability of coach or tourist class.

Changes to Fixed Unit Price Rates: The fixed-unit price rates shall be firm for the life of the contract. Requests for equitable adjustments will be entertained insomuch as the documentation supporting such a request clearly demonstrates that the change is beyond the contractors control and could not have otherwise been predicted by the contractor. These changes typically are those that impact the market at large, as opposed to a single contractor or source of supply. Costs attributable solely to escalation will not be entertained.

Guaranteed Minimum and Maximum Ordering Limitation__________________________________________________

The guaranteed minimum payment to the contractor under this contract will be $2.5M. There are no minimum guarantees for the option periods.

The Government will award a DO that will satisfy the minimum obligation requirement at or near the time of contract award.

The maximum amount for award of all DOs as a result of solicitation W909MY-22-R-G008 will not exceed $293M inclusive of the base contract year and any option period exercised. The Government is not obligated to issue DOs up to the maximum total for any DO or combination thereof under this contract.

Section 508 Compliance Statement________________________________

All Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) procured through the SOW and any resulting contract, DO or purchase order must meet the applicable accessibility regulations at 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1194, unless an agency exception to this requirement exists.

Government Furnished Information (GFI)______________________________________

The Government will provide AIE system Interface Control Documents (ICD) for the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) and Interoperability Layer Service (IoLS), to include a Software Development Kit (SDK) for access to IoLS and and IMESA architecture, within 15 days after contract award. The Government will also deliver the AIE Overarching Test Plan within 15 days after contract award.

Insurance (IAW FAR 28.310 (a))______________________________

In Accordance With clause 52.228-5, "Insurance -- Work on a Government Installation" incorporated in Section I herein, the offeror shall secure, pay the premiums for and keep in force until the expiration of this contract and any renewal thereof, adequate insurance to specifically include liability assumed by the offeror under this contract. The Contractor shall maintain a copy of all Subcontractors proof of required insurance and shall make copies available to the Contracting Officer upon request.

Organizational Conflict Of Interest (OCI)_________________________________________

"Organizational Conflict of Interest" means that because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a person is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government, or the person's objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or a person has an unfair competitive advantage. "Person" as used herein includes Corporations, Partnerships, Joint Ventures, Teaming Arrangements and other business enterprises.

The term "offeror" as used in this clause, includes any person, firm or corporation which has a majority or controlling interest in the offeror or in any parent corporation thereof, any person, firm, or corporation in or as to which the contractor (or any parent or subsidiary corporation thereof) has a majority or controlling interest. The term also includes the corporate officers of the contractor, those of any corporation which has a majority or controlling interest in the offeror, and those of any corporation in which the offeror (or any parent or subsidiary corporation thereof) has a majority or controlling interest. All references to the offeror as contained in this clause shall apply with equal force to all of these included.

"Contract" and "DO" shall be used as applicable to the level at which this clause is being invoked.

Impact on Future Agency Contracts and DOs

The following examples illustrate situations in which questions concerning organizational conflicts of interest may arise. They are not all inclusive, but are intended to help the KO apply general guidance to individual contract and

DO situations.

Unequal access to information. Access to "nonpublic information" as part of the performance of a DO provided under the contract or work performed under a separate Government contract could provide the contractor a competitive advantage in a later competition. Such an advantage could easily be perceived as unfair by a competing vendor who is not given similar access to the relevant information. If the requirements of the government procurement anticipate the successful vendor may have access to nonpublic information, the successful vendor shall be required to submit and negotiate an acceptable mitigation plan. Alternatively, the "nonpublic information" may be provided to all vendors.

Biased ground rules. An offeror in the course of performance under a DO contract has in some fashion established important "ground rules" for another requirement, where the same offeror may be a competitor. For example, an offeror may have drafted the statement of work, specifications, or evaluation criteria of a future procurement. The primary concern of the government in this case is that an offeror so situated could slant key aspects of procurement in its own favor, to the unfair disadvantage of competing vendors. If the requirements of the government procurement anticipate the offeror may have been in a position to establish important ground rules, including but not limited to those described herein, the offeror shall be required to submit and negotiate an acceptable mitigation plan.

Impaired objectivity. An offeror in the course of performance of a DO or contract is placed in a situation of providing assessment and evaluation findings over itself, or another business division, or subsidiary of the same corporation, or other entity with which it has a significant financial relationship. The concern in this case is that the offeror 's ability to render impartial advice to the government could appear to be undermined by the offeror's financial or other business relationship to the entity whose work product is being assessed or evaluated. In these situations, a "walling off" of lines of communication may well be insufficient to remove the perception that the objectivity of the offeror has been tainted. If the requirements of the government procurement indicate that the successful vendor may be in a position to provide evaluations and assessments of itself or corporate siblings, or other entity with which it has a significant financial relationship, the affected offeror shall provide a mitigation plan that includes recusal by the vendor from the affected contract work. Such recusal might include divestiture of the work to a third party vendor.

In order to prevent a future OCI resulting from potential bias, unfair competitive advantage, or impaired objectivity, the offeror shall be subject to the following restrictions:

1. The offeror shall be excluded from competition for, or award of any Government Contracts as to which, in the course of performance of this contract, the offeror has received advance procurement information before such information has been made generally available to other persons or firms.

2. The offeror shall be excluded from competition for, or award of any Government Contract for which the offeror actually assists in the development of the Screening Information Request (SIR), specifications or SOW.

3. The offeror shall be excluded from competition for or award of any Government Contract which calls for the evaluation of system requirements, system definitions, or other products developed by the offeror under this contract or resulting DOs.

8 25

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

4. The offeror shall be excluded from competition for, or award of any Government Contract which calls for the construction or fabrication of any system, equipment, hardware, and/or software for which the offeror participated in the development of requirements or definitions pursuant to this contract or resulting DO.

This clause shall not exclude the offeror from performing work under any amendment or modification to this contract or from competing for award for any future contract for work that is the same or similar to work performed under this contract.

The agency may in its sole discretion, waive any provisions of this clause if deemed in the best interest of the

Government. The exclusions contained in this clause shall apply for the duration of this contract and for three years after completion and acceptance of all work performed hereunder.

If any provision of this clause excludes the offeror from competition for, or award of any contract, the offeror shall not be permitted to serve as a subcontractor, at any tier, on such contract. This clause shall be incorporated into any subcontracts or consultant agreements awarded under this contract unless the KO determines otherwise.

Affirmative Duties and Responsibilities for Government Contractors: The offeror warrants that to the best of its knowledge and belief and except as otherwise set forth in the contract, the Contractor does not have any organizational conflict of interest(s) as defined above. The offeror agrees that, if after award, it discovers an actual or potential organizational conflict of interest at the contract level it shall make immediate and full disclosure in writing to the KO. Changes in the offeror's relationships due to mergers, consolidations or any unanticipated circumstances may create an unacceptable organizational conflict of interest might necessitate such disclosure. The notification shall include a description of the actual or potential organizational conflict of interest, a description of the action that the offeror has taken or proposes to take to avoid, mitigate, or neutralize the conflict and any other relevant information that would assist the KO in making a determination on this matter.

The offeror, upon identification of a potential conflict, shall submit requests to participate in the DO for written approval on a delivery order-by-delivery order basis, unless the offeror is aware of multiple DOs that may create the appearance of a conflict or be an actual conflict. In the case of the later, the offeror shall notify the KO as soon as the conflicts/apparent conflicts have been identified. This provision shall be in effect throughout the period of performance of this contract, any extensions thereto by change order or supplemental agreement and for three years thereafter.

The offeror shall permit a Government audit of internal OCI mitigation procedures for verification purposes. The

Government reserves the right to reject a mitigation plan, if in the opinion of the KO, such a plan is not in the best interests of the Government. The offeror shall hold the Government harmless and will freely indemnify the Government as to any cost/loss resulting from the unauthorized use or disclosure of any third-party proprietary information by its employees, the employees of subcontractors or by its agents.

The KO's decision as to the existence or nonexistence of an actual or potential organizational conflict of interest shall be final.

The offeror shall include the same provisions as are expressed in this clause, including this paragraph, in all subcontracts awarded for performance of any portion of this requirement. This restriction is applicable throughout the period of performance of the subcontract, and any extensions thereof by change order or supplemental agreement, and for three years thereafter. When the provisions of this clause are included in a subcontract, the term KO shall represent the head of the Contracts Office of the prime Contract. Any deviations or less restrictive coverage deemed necessary or required by the offeror for a particular subcontract must first be submitted to the KO for approval.

Compliance: Compliance with these OCI requirements is a material obligation of this contract.
