GOV’T-CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIPS

GOVERNMENT-CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIPS

a. The Government and the contractor understand and agree that the services to be delivered under this contract by the contractor to the Government are non-personal services and the parties recognize and agree that no employer-employee or master-servant relationships exist or will exist under the contract between the Government and the contractor and/or between the Government and the contractor’s employees. It is therefore in the best interest of the Government to afford the parties a full and complete understanding of their respective obligations.

b. Contractor personnel under this contract shall not:

(1) be placed in a position where they are appointed or employed by a Federal Officer, or are under the supervision, direction, or evaluation of a Federal Officer, Military or Civilian.

(2) be placed in a staff or policy making position.

(3) be placed in a position of command, supervision, administration or control over DA Military or Civilian personnel, or personnel of other contractors, or become a part of the Government organization.

(4) be used for the purpose of avoiding manpower ceilings or other personnel rules and regulations of DA or the Civil Service Commission.

(5) be used in administration or supervision of military procurement activities.

c. Employee Relationships:

(1) The services to be performed under this contract do not require the contractor or its employees to exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the Government, but rather the contractor’s employees will act and exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the contractor.

(2) Rules, regulations, directions, and requirements which are issued by command authorities under their responsibility for good order, administration, and security are applicable to all personnel who enter the installation, or who travel on Government transportation. This is not to be construed or interpreted to establish any degree of Government control which is inconsistent with a non-personal services contract.

AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM

AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM (OCT 2016)

If you have complaints about this procurement, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve those concerns with the responsible contracting officer. However, you can also protest to Headquarters, AMC. The HQ, AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103(e). Send protests (other than protests to the contracting officer) to:
