Section H - Special Contract Requirements

I. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (OCI), PERSONAL CONFLICTS OF

INTEREST, NONDISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION, AND CONTRACTOR CODE

OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT.

1. Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI).

a. The contractor agrees that if it assists in the preparation of specifications, work statements, or statement of objectives, for a system or services under this Contract, or assists in the development of acquisition strategies or evaluation criteria or otherwise provides acquisition support under this Contract, it will not be allowed to furnish these items or services, either as a prime contractor, a subcontractor or as a consultant. (FAR 9.505-2 Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest – Preparing specifications or work statements).

b. The contractor agrees that if it gains access to proprietary data of other companies, it shall protect such data and it shall not use such proprietary data in supplying systems or components in future competitive procurements. In addition, the contractor agrees to protect the proprietary data and rights of other organizations disclosed to the contractor during performance of this contract with the same caution that a reasonably prudent contractor would use to safeguard highly valuable property. The contractor also agrees that if it gains access to the proprietary information of other companies, it shall enter into an agreement with the other companies to protect their information from unauthorized use or disclosure for as long as it remains proprietary and refrain from using the information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished. (FAR 9.505-4 Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest – Obtaining access to proprietary information)

c. The contractor agrees that it shall not distribute reports, data, or information of any nature arising from its performance under this contract, except as provided herein, or as may be directed by the Contracting Officer.

d. The contractor shall include the above provisions, including this paragraph, in all agreements with teaming partners, consultants, and subcontractors at any tier which calls for performance related to this contract and involves access to information covered above, unless excused in writing by the Contracting Officer. The use of this clause in such agreements shall be read by substituting the word "teaming partner," "consultant," or "subcontractor" for the word "contractor" whenever the latter appears.

e. The contractor agrees that if an actual or potential OCI arises prior or after award, with regard to any contract, task order or modification thereto, the contractor shall make a full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a description of actions which the contractor has taken or proposes to take, after consultation with the Contracting Officer, to avoid, mitigate, or neutralize the actual or potential conflict. All actual or potential OCI situations shall be handled in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.5.

f. The Government may terminate the contract for convenience, in whole or in part, if it deems such termination necessary to avoid a potential OCI. If the contractor was aware of an OCI prior to award, or discovered such facts after award and intentionally did not disclose or misrepresented relevant information to the Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate the task order and/or contract in accordance with the "Default" clause of this contract; pursue debarment of the contractor, and/or pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or regulation (including the FAR and its supplements).

g. The Government may, at its sole discretion, waive any provisions of this clause if deemed in the best interest of the Government.

2. Personal Conflicts of Interest

a. In the course of performance pursuant to this contract, contractor employees will be participating personally and substantially in duties that have a direct and predictable effect upon other non-Federal entities. The contractor agrees to use its best efforts to ensure those employees and others performing services under this contract avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance thereof. To that end, the Contractor agrees that its employees and others performing services under this contract shall, prior to the commencement of performance, sign the Certificate of No Conflict of Interest (See Attachment 4 – Certificate of No Conflict of Interest)

b. Personal and Substantial. To participate personally means to participate directly. It includes the direct and active supervision of the participation of a subordinate in the matter. To participate substantially means that the employee's involvement is of significance to the matter. Participation may be substantial even though it is not determinative of the outcome of a particular matter; however, it requires more than official responsibility, knowledge, perfunctory involvement, or involvement on an administrative or peripheral issue. A finding of substantiality should be based not only on the effort devoted to a matter, but also on the importance of the effort. While a series of peripheral involvements may be insubstantial, the single act of approving or participating in a critical step may be substantial. Personal and substantial participation may occur when, for example, an employee participates through decision, approval, disapproval, recommendation, investigation or the rendering of advice in a particular matter.

3. Code of Business Ethics and Conduct.

a. Within thirty (30) days after contract award, the contractor agrees to use best efforts to develop a written Code of Business Ethics and Conduct which is similar to or consistent with the Government Code of Ethics. The contractor shall promote compliance with its Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. If other than a small business, the contractor shall establish within ninety (90) days after contract award, an ongoing Business Ethics and Business Conduct Awareness Program and an internal control system. The contractor’s internal control system shall:

Facilitate timely discovery of improper conduct in connection with Government contracts; and
Ensure corrective measures are promptly instituted and carried out,

Note: FAR 52.203-13 – Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and FAR 52.203-14 – Display of Hotline Posters are applicable to contracts/subcontracts valued greater than $5 million containing a Period of Performance greater than one hundred twenty (120) days (excluding contracts for commercial items (FAR Part 12) or contracts being performed entirely outside the U.S.).

II. CONTRACTOR MANPOWER REPORTING REPORTING OF CONTRACTOR SERVICES AND MANPOWER

Accounting for Contractor Services:

The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower & Reserve Affairs) operates and maintains a secure Army data collection site where the contractor will report ALL contractor manpower (including subcontractor manpower) required for performance of this contract. The contractor is required to completely fill in all the information in the format using the following web address: <https://cmra.army.mil. The information to be reported is as follows:

(1)Contracting Office, Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative;
(2)Contract number, including task and delivery order number;
(3)Beginning and ending dates covered by reporting period;
(4)Contractor name, address, phone number, e-mail address, identity of contractor employee entering data;
(5)Estimated direct labor hours (including sub-contractors);
(6)Estimated direct labor dollars paid this reporting period (including sub-contractors);
(7)Total payments (including sub-contractors);
(8)Predominant Federal Service Code (FSC) reflecting services provided by contractor (and separate predominant FSC for each sub-contractor if different);
(9)Estimated data collection cost;

(10) Organizational title associated with the Unit Identification Code (UIC) for the Army Requiring Activity (the Army Requiring Activity is responsible for providing the contractor with its UIC for the purposes of reporting this information);

(11) Locations where contractor and sub-contractors perform the work (specified by zip code in the United States and nearest city, country, when in an overseas location, using standardization nomenclature provided on website);

(12) Presence of deployment or contingency contract language; and

(13) Number of contractor and sub-contractor employees deployed in theater this reporting period (by country).

As part of its submission, the contractor will also provide the estimated total cost (if any) incurred to comply with this reporting requirement. Reporting period will be the period of performance not to exceed twelve (12) months ending 30 September of each Government fiscal year and must be reported by 31 October of each calendar year. If contract performance is completed before 30 September, the data can be entered upon contract completion rather than waiting for the end of the fiscal year. Contractors may use a direct XML data transfer to the database server or fill in the fields on the website. The XML direct transfer is a format for transferring files from a contractor’s systems to the secure web site without the need for separate data entries for each required data element at the web site. The specific formats for the XML direct transfer may be downloaded from the web site.*

*For in-theater contracts, requiring activities have the option of requiring more frequent reporting.

Uses and Safeguarding of Information. Information from the secure web site is considered to be proprietary in nature when the contract number and contractor identity are associated with the direct labor hours and direct labor dollars. At no time will any data be released to the public with the contractor name and contract number associated with the data.

Subcontract Data. The contractor shall ensure that all reportable subcontract data is timely reported to this data collection web site (citing this contract/order number). At the discretion of the prime contractor, this reporting may be done directly by subcontractors to the data collection site; or by the prime contractor after consolidating and rationalizing all significant data from the subcontractors.

Reporting Flexibility. Contractors are encouraged to communicate with the Help Desk identified at the data collection web site to resolve reporting difficulties. Changes to facilitate reporting may be authorized by the Contracting Officer or the Help Desk (under HQDA policy direction and oversight).

III. ADDITIONAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

5152.233-4000 HQ AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM (Sep 2011) (LOCAL CLAUSE)

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 (HQ), Army Materiel Command (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 (GAO) 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. If you want to file a protest under the HQ AMC-Level Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below. All other agency-level protests should be sent to the contracting officer for resolution.

Headquarters U.S. Army Materiel Command Office of Command Counsel 4400 Martin Road Rm: A6SE040.001 Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000 Fax: (256) 450-8840

Packages sent by FedEx or UPS should be addressed to:

Headquarters U.S. Army Materiel Command Office of Command Counsel 4400 Martin Road Rm: A6SE040.001 Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000 Fax: (256) 450-8840

The AMC-Level Protest procedures are found at: http://www.amc.army.mil/pa/COMMANDCOUNSEL.asp.

5152.204-4001

KEY PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS (MAR 2009) (LOCAL CLAUSE)

(a) Certain experienced professional and/or technical personnel are essential for successful accomplishment of the work to be performed under this contract. These "Key Personnel" were identified by name within the contractor’s proposal and their resumes were submitted for evaluation during the source selection process. The contractor agrees that such personnel shall not be removed or replaced within the performance of this contract unless the following measures are taken:

(1) If one or more of the key personnel, for any reason, becomes or is expected to become unavailable for work under this contract for a continuous period exceeding 30 work days, or is expected to devote substantially less effort to the work than indicated in the proposal or initially anticipated, the contractor shall, subject to the concurrence of the Contracting Officer (KO) or designated Contracting Officer Representative (COR), promptly replace personnel with personnel who possess equal, or better, qualifications as the original employee

(2) All requests for approval of substitutions hereunder must be in writing and provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitutions. The request must contain a resume for the proposed substitute, and any other information requested by the KO or designated COR. The KO or designated COR must concur in writing with the change.

(b) If the KO or designated COR determines that suitable and timely replacement of Key Personnel who have been reassigned, terminated or have otherwise become unavailable for the contract work is not reasonably forthcoming or that the resultant reduction of productive effort would be so substantial as to impair successful completion of the contract, the KO may terminate the contract for default or for the convenience of the Government, as appropriate, or make an equitable adjustment to the contract to compensate the Government for any resultant delay, loss or damage.

(c) The Key Personnel in this contract are as follows: to be fill-in at time of award.

952.201-0001

OMBUDSMAN

(AUG 2011)

(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, Contracting Officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation process or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concern.

(b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the Contracting Officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMBC-A-76 competition performance decisions).

(c) If resolution cannot be made by the Contracting Officer, concerned parties may contact the C-JTSCC Ombudsman:
