6. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND TASK ORDER CLAUSES:

6.1. TAILORED CLAUSES FOR THIS TASK ORDER: N/A

6.2. CONTRACTOR VERIFICATION SYSTEMS (CVS): The Contractor is responsible for processing applications for Common Access Cards (CAC) for every Contractor employee who deploys with the military force OR who has need to access any Government computer network in accordance with FAR 52.204-9, “Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel.”

The Contractor is responsible for managing requests for new or renewal CAC cards in sufficient time to ensure that all Contractor employees have them when needed to perform work under this contract. The norm is at least ten (10) calendar days advance notice to the Trusted Agent* (TA), unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or Contracting Officer. *The COR will be the TA for this contract.

The Contractor shall obtain an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) e-mail address for each applicant, including subcontractors, who may be deployed or require logical access to a Government computer network. This can be done by going to: http://www.us.army.mil and register as an “Army Guest,” with the sponsor being the COR. Note: If a Contractor employee loses the privilege to access AKO, they lose the ability to renew their CAC.

Therefore it is critical that Contractor employees maintain their AKO accounts.

Recommend a “Corporate Facility Security Officer" (FSO) be established to serve as your firm’s single point of contact for CVS. If a FSO is not established, each Contractor employee requiring a CAC will be required to process their own applications.

CAC applications shall be processed through the DoD’s Contractor Verification System (CVS) found at https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/tass. The Contractor’s FSO or Contractor employee shall submit requests for a CAC via email to the CVS Trusted Agent (TA) at - 1- before accessing the CVS website.

The Government will establish a CVS application account for each CAC request and will provide each Contractor employee a USER ID and Password, via e-mail, to the FSO.

The FSO or Contractor employee shall access the CVS account and complete the CAC application (entering/editing contractor information as applicable) at:

https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/tass.

The FSO or Contractor employee will submit completed applications in CVS and will follow up to ensure that the TA is processing the request.

The Government will inform the Contractor’s applicant, via e-mail, of one of the following:

a. Approved.* Upon approval, the information is transferred to the Defense

Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) database and an e-mail notification is sent to the contractor with instructions on obtaining their CAC. The Contractor proceeds to a Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) station.

b. Rejected.* The Government, in separate correspondence, will provide reason(s) for rejection.

c. Returned. Additional information or correction to the application required by the Contractor employee.

*The Contractor will maintain records of all approved and rejected applications.

At the RAPIDS station, the RAPIDS Verification Officer will verify the Contractor by SSN and two forms of identification; one of which shall be a picture ID. The Verification Officer will capture primary and alternate fingerprints, picture, and updates to DEERS and will then issue a CAC.

Issued CACs shall be for a period of performance not longer than three (3) years or the individual’s contract end date (inclusive of any options), whichever is earlier.

The Contractor shall return issued CAC’s to the DEERS office upon return from deployment, departure, or dismissal of each Contractor employee. Obtain a receipt for each card and provide to the TA/COR.

A CAC cannot be issued without evidence that the FSO has initiated a National Agency Check with Written Inquires (NACI). CVS will be linked to the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) in the near future. The TA will have to verify, via JPAS, that the FSO has initiated the NACI before he/she can approve a Contractor request for a

CAC.

Details and training on CVS are available on AKO at:

https://www.us.army.mil/suite/portal/index.jsp or by contacting the CAC helpdesk at e-mail: iacacpki.helpdesk@us.army.mil, or telephone: 866-738-3222.

7.3 Wide Area Workflow (WAWF)

All Awardee’s invoices and receiving reports are required to be submitted electronically IAW DFARS 252.232-7003, Electronic Submission of Payment Requests and Receiving Reports. Awardee shall submit invoices through the WAWF System at:

https://wawf.eb.mil/.

The Government will be using WAWF to accept/approve invoices and receiving reports.

The type of document is either Combo, for Supplies & Construction, or 2-in-1, for Services. Payment will not be made unless and until both the Awardee and the Government WAWF submissions are submitted and processed correctly. Awardee’s invoices and receiving reports shall reflect the contract line items (CLINs) contained in the contract and indicate ship date or dates services were provided. Proper invoices also shall reflect the prices stipulated in the contract and the service or supply shall be delivered, inspected and accepted.

An interactive self-paced training module is available for both Contractor and Government personnel at: http://www.dfas.mil/dfas/ecommerce/wawf/training.html, to learn how to use WAWF. WAWF also offers customer support and/or assistance at 1- 866-618-5988.

5.0 ORGANIZATION CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

5.1 The term "Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) is defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.1; also, see FAR 9.502 (c). An "OCI exists when a Contractor would face an actual or potential conflict of interest if it worked on a planned contract, due either to its other business interests or to the nature of the effort to be performed. However, organizational conflicts of interest are more likely to occur in contracts involving:

a. Management support services;

b. Consultant or other professional services;

c. Contractor performance of or assistance in technical evaluations; or Systems engineering and technical direction work performed by a Contractor that does not have overall contractual responsibility for development or production.

5.2 The Contracting Officer will review and analyze the PWS under this contract prior to issuance of a Request for Proposal and determine that no OCI has been identified, potential or otherwise. However, the contractor is encouraged to make a preliminary disclosure to the Contracting Officer, prior to the due date for receipt of Proposals, of any OCI issues the Contractor has identified. Such preliminary disclosure will allow the Contracting Officer more time to assess both the potential OCI and the Contractor proposed strategy to negate or mitigate the OCI. This assessment may be crucial since, per FAR 9.504(e), the Contracting Officer may not award the contract to a Contractor with an OCI that cannot be negated or mitigated. If the Contractor demonstrates to the Contracting Officer that there may be a possible conflict of interest arising out of an existing contract, the Contracting Officer will take the necessary action to delete that requirement and/or mitigate any conflict of interest that may be present.

The Contractor agrees that the Government or an authorized representative may, up to three years after acceptance of all programmatic documentation to be delivered under applicable contract, restrict the Contractors future participation in any resulting program managed system acquisition action(s).

5.3 Title 10, US Code Section 2399 prohibits the involvement of a defense contractor in the operational test and evaluation of its own systems and equipment. Consequently, all parties must be particularly sensitive to potential, actual, or perceived organizational conflicts of interest where system contractors are or appear to be involved in the operational testing and evaluation of their own equipment or systems, including involvement as a test support contractor. Such involvement is strictly prohibited. The Contractor acknowledges that it is familiar with Title 10 U.S.C. Section 2399 and FAR 9.5 and agrees that it will avoid conflicts of interest and, to the maximum possible extent, the appearance of conflict of interest, in accordance with the principles set forth in the Statute and FAR.
