Section G - Contract Administration Data

INVOICING FOR RATES THAT DEVIATE FROM PROPOSED RATES (26 FEB 2025):

G.1.1 If in any performance period, the Contractor is projecting a cost overrun in excess of 10% of the proposed estimated cost for a particular labor rate for that period, which is determined to not be a result of Government direction and not attributable to Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) changes, the projected cost overrun may trigger a Show Cause or Termination for Default subject to the Contracting Officer's discretion. Note:

Contractors proposing at current FPRA rates and invoicing at current Provisional Billing rates will not trigger a Show Cause or Termination for Default.

G.1.2 If in performance of the Task Order (TO), the Contractor incurs a cost overrun for a particular labor rate of greater than 5% and less than 10% during that Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System- CPARS evaluation period, which is determined not to be a result of Government direction or Contractor Provisional Billing rates, the Contractor may receive a Marginal rating for that period's CPARS cost element.

G.1.3 If in performance of the TO, the Contractor incurs a cost overrun greater than 10% during that CPARS evaluation period, which is determined not to be a result of Government direction or Contractor Provisional Billing rates, the Contractor may receive an Unsatisfactory rating for that period's CPARS cost element.

G.1.4 In regards to cost overruns and estimated costs mentioned in paragraphs 1.1 through 1.3, the Government will compare actual cost of work performed to estimated cost at the end of each contract period. Contractors are cautioned that costs should be directly proportional to hours expended, and if in excess, may be considered a cost overrun by the Government.

G.1.5 Adjustment of Baseline Rates. In the event of significant market condition changes or other unforeseen circumstances that materially impact the Contractor's ability to perform at the proposed rates, the Contractor and the Contracting Officer may mutually agree to establish a revised rate or rates as the new baseline. Such agreements/adjustments must be documented and will supersede the previously proposed rates for the applicable performance period. The Contractor must provide sufficient justification to support the revised rates. This adjustment mechanism shall not apply to cost overruns caused by the Contractor's mismanagement, inefficiency, or other factors attributable to the Contractor's performance.

TASK ORDER LABOR COST PLUS FIXED FEE CALCULATION . Total Estimated Cost per Hour and Fixed Fee per Hour proposed for this Solicitation shall be binding during duration of the contract.

The Contractor shall not violate any data or technology export control acts or statutes if information is posted to the Internet after receipt of the Government approval to post.

H.2 Release of Information.

H.2.1The Contractor shall receive the Procuring Contracting Officer's approval before making a public release of any information, which includes but is not limited to the following: data, documentation, webpages, manuals, press releases, announcements, software, shareware, or test reports. The Contractor shall require all subcontractors to meet the same criteria regarding release of information.

H.3 Government - Contractor Relationships.

H.3.1 The Government and contractor understand and agree that the support services to be delivered under this contract by the Contractor are non-personal services and the parties recognize and agree that no employer-employee relationships exist or will exist under the contract between the Government and the Contractor and between the Government and the Contractor employees. It is, therefore, in the best interest of the Government to afford the parties a full and complete understanding of their respective obligations.

H.3.1.1 Additional Limitations.

H.3.1.1.1 Contractor personnel under this contract shall not 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.

H.3.1.1.2. Contractor personnel under this contract shall not be placed in a staff or policy-making position.

H.3.1.1.3 Contractor personnel under this contract shall not be placed in a position of command, supervision, direction, or evaluation over DA military or civilian personnel, or personnel of other contractors or become part of a Government organization.

H.3.2.1 Employee Relationship.

H.3.2.1.1 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.

H.3.2.1.2 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 a Government installation. This is not to be construed or interpreted to establish any degree of Government control which is inconsistent with a non-personal services contract.

H.3.2.1.3 The Contractor will not be paid for performance of personal services. Therefore, in the event the Contractor (or its employee) is directed by any Government employee to perform tasks that the Contractor believes are personal services, the Contractor should take no action until it has contacted the Procuring Contracting Officer to determine the appropriate course of action.

If requesting approval, the Contractor shall provide: the full name; date of birth; place of birth; citizenship; registration number; type of visa;

clear copy of picture identification of visa, green card, or permanent resident card; port of entry; title of position to be filled; abbreviated curriculum vitae; and justification for employment to the Contract Specialist. These items will be reviewed by the Security Office with subsequent approval by the Contracting Officer. Previously approved foreign nationals must be reapproved if the nature of their work under this contact differs from that performed under the prior year's contract.

H.4.2.1 If the Contractor believes this effort is strictly for fundamental research, the Contractor shall request a waiver from this requirement from the Contracting Officer.

H.4.2.1.1 The Contractor shall ensure that foreign nationals approved for support of this effort will not have access to military technical or critical unclassified information. (The contractor shall conduct a search through the Defense Technical Information Center to determine whether information is designated as military technical or critical unclassified information. Additional information is available from the Military Critical Technologies List (http://www.dtic.mil/mctl/).

H.4.3 Should the Government determine that the technology has developed to a point where the information warrants protection, a DD Form 254 and an approved classification guide will be issued.

H.4.4 The Contractor shall report a violation of administrative security procedures or export control regulations that would subject critical unclassified information to possible compromise by foreign visitors or foreign national employees shall immediately be reported to the cognizant facility security office and Contracting Officer.

H.5 Authority to Change or Modify the Contract.

H.5.1 The Contractor is hereby notified that no Government personnel other than an authorized Contracting Officer can change or modify this contract or authorize any action that obligates the Government. If a Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or Alternate COR (ACOR) is appointed for this contract, his/her authority is limited to the specific duties as set forth in the letter of appointment. The COR/ACOR is not authorized to make any commitments or changes that affect price.

H.5.2 If the Contractor accepts any such commitment from Government personnel other than an authorized Contracting Officer, it shall be at the Contractor's own risk and expense. The Contractor shall not be entitled to an equitable adjustment of the contract amount or delivery schedule unless changes or modifications are directed by an authorized Contracting Officer.

H.5.3 The Contractor shall be under no obligation to comply with any direction or change that will result in a contract modification unless it is issued by an authorized Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall direct any questions concerning the authority of Government personnel to the PCO.

H.6 Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCIs)

H.6.1 An OCI can occur when: a contractor is unable, or potentially unable, to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government; a contractor's objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired; or contractor has an unfair competitive advantage for a contract award.

Additional information on the types of OCIs that can occur can be found in FAR Subpart 9.5.

H.6.2 In the event of nondisclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant facts, the Government reserves the right to terminate the offeror's contract(s) for default, disqualify the contractor and/or subcontractor(s) from future related contract efforts, and to pursue any other remedies as allowed by law.

H.6.3 Contractors shall not place themselves in a position where submitting a proposal or accepting a contract / TO award would result in an OCI.

H.7 Government-Furnished Property (GFP)

H.7.1 GFP will be provided to the Contractor by the Government to facilitate performance of the individual orders under this contract. Should such circumstances arise, GFP will be addressed in individual TOs.

H.8 Inherently Governmental Functions

H.8.1 As discussed in FAR Subpart 7.5, an "inherently Governmental function" is a function that is so intimately related to the public interest as to mandate performance by Government employees. These functions include those activities that require the exercise of discretion in applying Government authority or the making of value judgments in making decisions for the Government. Governmental functions normally fall into two categories: (1) the act of governing (i.e., the discretionary exercise of Government authority), and (2) monetary transactions and entitlements.

Contractor personnel shall not perform inherently Government functions.

H.9 Personal Services

H.9.1 Personal services are characterized by the employer-employee relationship created between the Government and the Contractor's personnel.

Obtaining personal services by contract rather than by direct hire circumvents the law unless Congress has specifically authorized acquisition of the services by contract. Agencies shall not award personal service contracts unless specifically authorized by statute, 5 U.S.C. 3109. Contractors shall not perform personal services.

H.9.2 An exception to the prohibition of personal services is health services allowed for by FAR Subpart 37.4.

H.10 Insurance Requirements

H.10.1 This IDIQ contract may include either fixed-price or cost-reimbursable task orders. Performance may or may not occur on a military installation, which may or may not be located within the continental United States. The following clauses have therefore been incorporated into this contract by reference: FAR 52.228-3, 52.228-5, and 52.228-7, each of which is applicable to the circumstances for which each is intended as set forth in the clause and related provisions of the FAR. Prime Contractors shall be required to either provide copies of insurance certificates or certify in writing that the required insurance has been obtained before commencing on site (i.e., on a Government site) work on any installation. If Contractor's certification is used in lieu of submission of insurance certificates to the Contracting Officer, prime Contractors shall obtain from the Contracting Officer a Certificate of Compliance with Insurance Requirements for completion. A copy of the Contractor's and all Sub-Contractors' proof of required insurance shall be maintained and shall be made available to the Contracting Officer upon request.

H.11 Service Contract Act (SCA) Compliance

H.11.1 The TOs procured under this contract are subject to the Service Contract Act (SCA), though the exact requirements and places of performance are unknown. The Offeror's labor categories may vary based upon Contractor employment policies and labor agreements. The Offeror/Contractor is responsible for determining the applicability of the Service Contract Act to the labor categories they identify to perform work under this contract.

Consult the Department of Labor (DOL) website: https://www.dol.gov for specific location wage determinations as appropriate.

H.12 Contractor Identification Requirements and Performing Work on Government Premises.

H.12.1 Contractor personnel performing services on Department of Defense installations or other Government facilities shall ensure that they are readily identifiable as Contractor employees. The Contractor shall be required to contact the Government requiring activity to obtain the necessary base entry procedures.

H.12.2 Contractor employees without access to a Department of Defense or other Government Local Area Network (LAN) systems shall:

H.12.2.1 Identify themselves as Contractor personnel at the onset of every telephone call made from a Government telephone or any other phone if the call is made in support of any service provision to the Government;

H.12.2.2 Identify themselves as Contractor personnel in all recorded messages including those which are heard by callers attempting to contact Contractor employees via answering machines or voicemail;

H.12.2.3 Identify themselves as Contractor personnel at the onset of every meeting, conference, or any other gathering attended in support of any service provision to the Government;

H.12.2.4 Identify themselves as Contractor personnel on any correspondence, documents, or reports accomplished or sent in support of any service provision to the Government, including but not limited to, correspondence sent via the U.S. Mail, facsimile or electronic mail (e-mail) inclusive of "out-of-office" replies;

H.12.2.5 Wear or display Contractor-provided nametags, badges or attire which display, at a minimum, the name of the Contractor.

H.12.3 Any work under this contract which is performed by the Contractor or any of its Sub-Contractors on premises under Government control is subject to all requirements of this contract governing such work, and the following:

H.12.3.1 All Contractor and Subcontractor personnel shall, at all times, conspicuously display a distinctive badge provided by the Contractor, identifying such personnel as employees of the Contractor and shall observe and otherwise be subject to such security regulations as are in effect for the particular premises involved.

H.12.3.2 All Contractor and Subcontractor personnel shall be easily recognized by wearing Government provided security badges while working in a U.S. Government facility.

H.12.3.3 The Contractor shall designate, in writing, an on-the-premises representative to serve as point of contact for the Contractor to the Contracting Officer or their duly authorized representative.

H.12.3.4 All Contractor and Subcontractor employees shall dress appropriately for a professional work environment.

H.13 Other Considerations

H.13.1 Contractor Points of Contact. It is incumbent on the Contractor to provide the IDIQ Contracting Officer with two (2) Points of Contact (PoCs) who are empowered to correspond with the Government regarding contractual or business matters. The Contractor shall provide an email address and phone number for each PoC. The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer of any changes or updates to its PoCs. Failure to maintain current PoCs may result in the Contractor failing to receive Government communications, including the issuance of Task Order Requests (TORs).

H.13.2 Task Order Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs). Additional CLINs and/or subCLINs may be added to Task Orders at the Government's discretion if needed to meet Task Order requirements or separate certain requirements and funding sources.

H.13.3 Non-fee Bearing Cost Elements: Travel and Other Direct Costs (ODCs) shall be non-fee/profit-bearing in all TOs.
