All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (www.SAM.gov) prior to award of a contract. All proposed contractors are highly encouraged to review FAR Clause 52.232-33 Payments by Electronic Funds Transfer – System for Award Management, which indicates “All payments by the Government under this contract shall be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT).” Those not currently registered can obtain registration by going to the website http://www.SAM.gov. The process can usually be completed from 24 to 48 hours after submission. Contractors will need to obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (formerly DUNS number) for processing their registration. If you do not already have a Unique Entity Identifier, one can be obtained from http://www.SAM.gov.

Refer to www.SAM.gov for information formerly found in CCR, EPLS, ORCA and FedReg.

Please begin the registration process immediately in order to avoid delay of the contract award should your firm be selected.

ALERT: You must submit a notarized letter appointing the authorized Entity Administrator before your registration will be activated. This requirement now applies to both new and existing entities. Effective 29 April 2018, the notarized letter process is now mandatory on all CURRENT registrants at SAM who have a requirement to update data on their SAM record. The notarized letter is mandatory and is required before the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) will activate the entity's registration.

Effective 29 June 2018, vendors creating or updating their registration can have their registration activated prior to the approval of the required notarized letter. However, the signed copy of the notarized letter must be sent to the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) within 30 days of activation or the vendor risks no longer being active in SAM.

Vendors can check whether an account is active by performing a query by their CAGE or Unique Entity Identifier (formerly known as DUNS). The new registration process may now take several weeks, so vendors are highly encouraged to begin registering as soon as possible to avoid any possible delays in future contract awards.

Remember, there is no cost to use SAM.

To find out additional information about the changes of the SAM registration process, contractors should visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link located at the top of the SAM homepage (www.sam.gov).

The Contractor shall conduct all operations and maintenance activities in a manner to prevent contamination of Government land and property. The Contractor shall ensure all lubricants, petroleum products, paints, cleaning materials, or any other hazardous substances are not spilled, leaked or disposed of on Government property and are disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations. If spills or contamination occur, the Contractor shall be responsible for cleanup and any associated costs in accordance with Federal, State and Local Law. Such spills shall be reported to the TPOC immediately.

C-1.16 CONTRACT DISCREPANCY REPORT (CDR). A CDR is a formal document used by the Government to process defects in services (see Exhibit E). As initially issued to the Contractor, the CDR describes the discrepancy or problem. The CDR will be discussed with the Contractor or his representative when it is issued. The Contractor shall provide his written response on the CDR form within 24 hours of issuance. The Contractor's response must:

a. Identify the cause and corrective action taken, and

b. Identify Contractor action to prevent recurrence.

The Contracting Officer or TPOC will evaluate the Contractor's response and take appropriate action. Upon finalization of the CDR, the Contractor and the TPOC must sign the form. The Contractor will be given a copy of the completed form. Should the Contractor not concur with any decision, etc., the Contractor may so state, in writing, and request a final decision by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer monitors all CDR's issued, and CDR's are the principle evidence used by the Contracting Officer in determining Government contract actions such as termination or decision not to exercise options.

C-1.17 MEETINGS. The Contractor or his authorized representative shall report each workday (Monday-Friday, with the schedule and location determined by the TPOC) to discuss contract work items. Specific topics of discussion at the morning meetings may include issuing Notice of Work Letters, requests for estimates, negotiation, inspections, quality control, and upcoming work. If a CDR is issued, mutual effort will be made to resolve any and all problems identified to preclude their recurrence. The TPOC may alter this reporting schedule, or change the reporting method, time, or place if mutually agreeable between the TPOC and the Contractor.

C-1.18 QUALITY CONTROL. The Contractor shall have a Quality Control program to assure the requirements of the contract are provided as specified. The primary purpose of Quality Control is to identify and correct deficiencies in the quality of services performed before the level of performance is unacceptable.

The program shall include, but not be limited to the following:

a. An inspection system covering all the services stated in the contract specifications.

b. A method of identifying and correcting deficiencies in the quality of services performed before the level of performance is unacceptable.

c. A file of all inspections conducted by the Contractor and the corrective actions taken. These files shall be made available for inspection upon request by the TPOC.

d. A method of insuring that employees have full knowledge of work assignments and that appropriate technical expertise is utilized with each work assignment.

e. A method of coordinating each work crew’s activities with the TPOC and/or inspector.

A sample program is described in Exhibit A. The Contractor may use any or all portions of this plan to prepare a plan of his own. A signed plan, including Contractor specific information, shall be provided to the Contracting Officer and the TPOC, and accepted, prior to the Pre-Work Conference. If changes to this program occur, updated copies shall be provided to the Contracting Officer and TPOC.

Failure to provide appropriate Quality Control may result in issuance of a CDR, and/or termination of the contract.

C-1.19 QUALITY ASSURANCE. The Government will monitor the Contractor's performance in each functional area under this contract and reserves the rights to use whatever additional surveillance procedures are deemed appropriate. The Government will monitor the contract to insure compliance using a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), but reserves the right to alter the plan at its own discretion. The QASP is included as Exhibit F for information purposes only and will not be made part of any resulting contract. The Government will keep a record of all complaints received by the public concerning Contractor performance. Upon receipt of a written complaint by the public, the Government will attempt to verify the complaint and furnish the Contractor a copy of the findings.

Should the Government verification reveal a nonperformance by the Contractor, a CDR may be issued.

A Government employee shall not be considered an Inspector unless he identifies himself as such to the Contractor, the Contractor Representative, or Quality Control Inspector. No Inspector is authorized to change any provision of the specifications without written authorization of the Contracting Officer nor shall the presence or absence of an inspector relieve the Contractor from any requirements of the Contract.

C-1.20 DEFICIENCIES. If the Contractor fails to perform, or if performance in any area is judged unsatisfactory by the TPOC, the Government will take corrective action. If any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, the Government may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no cost to the Government. When the defect in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, or cannot be corrected in the specified time frame, the Contractor is required to respond to a CDR (See Section C- 1.16), and deductions will be determined in accordance with Contract Clause entitled "Inspection of Services" located in Section E and in accordance with the Government's Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan.

C-1.21 INTERRUPTIONS TO SYSTEMS. All work that would necessitate an interruption of the use of the project or its support systems or otherwise disrupt building occupants and/or the visiting public shall be fully coordinated and approved in advance by the TPOC. Interruptions shall be kept to an absolute minimum, and all repairs or replacements of equipment or components shall be accomplished in an expeditious and efficient manner.
