**TO ALL PROSPECTVIVE OFFERORS:**

We appreciate your interest in the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS)
Program. The General Services Administration (GSA) awards contracts
under the Program to thousands of commercial firms each year. This
letter provides you with pertinent background information on the MAS
Program. We hope you will consider this information in deciding whether
or not to submit an offer for a MAS contract and whether it is the right
business decision for your company.

Currently, the MAS Program is enormous. The Program is designed to
enable Federal Agencies to purchase commercial products and services
quickly, efficiently, and at fair and reasonable prices. It enables
Federal Agencies to comply with all Federal Acquisition Regulations
(FAR) when "easy-to-use" MAS ordering procedures have been followed. The
commercial products and services awarded under MAS contracts are divided
into 43 distinct schedules. In total, there are over 18,700 MAS
contracts in place, covering over 11,000,000 items, so competition is
fierce. Each year, several thousand firms submit offers, and over 3,000
are awarded MAS contracts.

To become a successful MAS contractor requires that your company take a
few key steps. Performing due diligence and understanding your
commitment and obligations as a MAS contractor is the first step to
success under the Program. The companies who have prepared well,
understood their commitments and obligations, and have a plan to meet
those commitments and obligations have thrived under the Program. In
order to better understand the environment of the MAS Program,
Attachment A lists the following key information for your review:

Schedule Name

Number of Contracts on the Schedule

Total Sales for the Schedule

Number of Contractors with sales of \$25,000 + for the last fiscal year

Next, to participate in the MAS Program, an offeror must identify which
schedule(s) cover the products and/or services your company wants to
offer. Getting on the right schedule(s) is the second step to success.
To help you with this task, you may want to look at the following
websites:

-   [www.gsaelibrary.gsa.gov](http://www.gsaelibrary.gsa.gov/)

-   [http://www.fedbizopps.gov](http://www.fedbizopps.gov/)

Once you have identified the right schedule(s), read and understand the
solicitation(s). The terms and conditions it contains are the rules of
the road. If you receive a MAS contract, you will be required to follow
these rules, which is critical to your success under the MAS Program

One of the most important things you need to understand is that a MAS
contract IS NOT a guarantee of future sales. Federal agencies are not
required to use the MAS Program. As you have seen, each schedule
contains from scores to thousands of contracts already in place and
competition is fierce for orders under the MAS Program.

GSA offers training and provides informational material to government
buyers about the benefits of the MAS Program. The MAS Program helps
reduce acquisition lead time and provides a wide selection of the
state-of-the-art commercial supplies and services. GSA has already
determined prices to be fair and reasonable and purchases conducted
under the MAS Program do not require a synopsis of the requirement.
Although GSA provides information material on the benefits of the
Program, GSA does not market or promote specific contracts, does not
distribute products of individual firms, and does not steer business to
any individual contractor. Once you receive a MAS contract, you will be
required to market your products or services to the federal community
and other authorized users of the MAS Program. Because purchasing
authority is spread out across the federal agencies and other authorized
users of MAS contracts, marketing your products or services may not be
an easy task. Accordingly, targeted marketing and relationship building
is the third step to success.

**TO HELP YOU DECIDE IF A MAS CONTRACT IS RIGHT FOR YOU**

MAS solicitation numbers are listed on Attachment B. Each solicitation
contains vital information relative to a MAS contractor's
responsibilities and the Government's expectations if your company is
awarded a MAS contract. Familiarizing yourself with these
responsibilities and having a business plan to meet them will be
critical to your success.

To help you better understand the meaning of key solicitation terms and
conditions, here are some helpful ideas:

Go to the Vendor Support Center (VSC) Website at vsc.gsa.gov. Find the
contractor orientation webcast under the Vendor Training Tab. While this
webcast is directed at new contractors, it emphasizes the key contract
requirements that they must follow and tells them how GSA will evaluate
their performance. Watch this webcast and ensure that you are ready to
be an excellent MAS contractor.

On the same Vendor Support Center (VSC) website, review the Steps to
Success Publication under the Publications Tab. This document is a
general overview of contract requirements; including key reporting
requirements you will have to meet.

Identify your competitors. Visit the Schedules e-Library website at
[www.gsaelibrary.gsa.gov](http://www.gsaelibrary.gsa.gov/) and the GSA
Advantage website at
[www.gsaadvantage.gov](http://www.gsaadvantage.gov/). These websites
contain information regarding the products and services that current MAS
contractors already offer. This will aid you in identifying potential
competitors under the MAS Program and help you to further assess your
ability to compete for orders, if your company is awarded a MAS
contract. You should look at such key information as your competitors'
pricing, delivery time, warranty terms, services, and other conditions.
Think about how you will be prepared to meet or beat such terms. In
addition, you should examine other factors that purchasers under the MAS
Program may consider when awarding an order such as your company's past
performance and expertise in providing the products and/or services that
your company is seeking to offer. Often, purchasers under the MAS
Program make their award decision based upon "best value" as opposed to
lowest price technically acceptable, so you need to assess your ability
to compete for orders under all possible award evaluation criteria.

Visit our Schedule Sales Query website at <http://ssq.gsa.gov/> that
provides detailed sales information on current MAS contractors.
Specifically, you can search to see whether your competitors have
successfully sold similar products and/or services under the MAS
Program.

Your review and analysis of these websites should allow you to assess
the competitive environment for the products and/or services you want to
provide. Once you understand the terms you will have to follow and the
market you will operate in, you can decide whether a MAS contract is the
right investment for your company to make.

Remember, if your company decides to make an offer for a MAS contract
and is awarded, your company will have two years to generate your first
\$25,000 in sales and must reach that threshold every year thereafter,
to keep your contract. If your company is newly established or has had
low sales to date (less than \$50,000) in the products and/or services
you want to offer under the MAS Program, you may need to recognize the
difficulty of meeting this performance requirement of having a MAS
contract. If you decide to make an offer under the MAS Program, having a
business plan to meet this performance requirement and other performance
requirements will be critical to ensuring your success.

Finally, how well you perform under your contract is the fourth and
final step to success!

**YES, I WANT TO SUBMIT AN OFFER**

Excellent. GSA is always looking for highly qualified firms ready to
increase competition under the MAS Program. While not all offers receive
a MAS contract, in accordance with our statutory authority, the MAS
Program is open to all responsible offerors as long as, your company
demonstrates that you meet all of our requirements, including pricing.

Typically, it will take 3 -- 6 months for your offer to be evaluated and
for your company to be awarded a MAS contract. Well prepared and
documented offers with competitive pricing are more easily evaluated and
therefore may be awarded sooner. Offers requiring lots of corrections
and clarifications take a lot longer to be evaluated. To help you submit
a complete offer that can easily be evaluated the first time, here are
some things that you can do:

1)  Take the free Center for Acquisition Excellence on-line course "How
    to Become a Contractor---GSA Schedules Program." This ten-lesson
    course describes the features of the MAS Program, how to submit an
    offer, the contract award process, and how to market supplies and
    services. To register, go to
    [www.gsa.gov/fsstraining](http://www.gsa.gov/fsstraining).

2)  Read the entire solicitation. Each solicitation is posted on the
    internet at the FedBizOpps website
    [www.fbo.gov](http://www.fbo.gov/). FedBizOpps is the single
    point-of-entry for Federal Government procurement opportunities over
    \$25,000.

3)  Attend a free training session offered by GSA on how to obtain a MAS
    contract. A listing of training events is available at
    [www.gsa.gov](http://www.gsa.gov/) (scroll down to "GSA Events" and
    click on "GSA Schedules Training."

4)  Submit your offer, making sure that the items you are offering are
    clearly identified, that your pricing proposal is clearly stated and
    explained.

Once you submit an offer, GSA will look for several things. We will
verify that you have submitted all of the required information and we
will use this information to evaluate your offer. We will look at
numerous areas including:

-   Pricing

-   Past Performance

-   The products/services are within the scope of the Schedule

-   Financial Capability

-   Technical

-   Subcontracting Plan (if you are not a small business)

-   Other regulatory compliance.

Good luck. We want you to be successful, and look forward to the start
of a long and successful partnership.

**NO, I DO NOT WANT TO SUBMIT AN OFFER RIGHT NOW. WHAT OTHER OPTIONS DO
I HAVE FOR FEDERAL BUSINESS**

If you decide not to purse a MAS contract at this time, you can still
participate in other Federal Government Acquisitions. In some cases,
pursuing other avenues may be even more advantageous.

Seek other Government contracting opportunities at FedBizOpps
([www.fbo.gov)](), which is the single point-of-entry for Federal
Government procurement opportunities over \$25,000. Commercial vendors
seeking Federal markets can search, monitor, and retrieve solicitations
for products and services issued by all Federal Agencies. Federal
Acquisition Regulations (FAR) set-aside procurements estimated between
\$2,500 through \$100,000for small business.

Participate in subcontracting opportunities with companies already under
contract to the Government. The U.S. Small Business Administration
([www.sba.gov](http://www.sba.gov/)) provides information on
subcontracting as well as other topics of interest to companies seeking
business opportunities. Existing schedule contractors are always looking
for opportunities to subcontract, especially to small, small
disadvantaged, woman-owned small, and service disabled veteran-owned
small businesses.

Remember, the MAS Program is continually open. Just because this may not
be the right moment for you to participate, you may want to reevaluate
this decision from time to time.

**PREPARATION, SUBMISSION, AND NEGOTIATION OF SUBCONTRACTING PLANS**

**(GSAR 552.219-72) (JUN 2005)**

\(a\) An offeror, other than a small business concern, submitting an
offer that exceeds \$500,000 (\$1,000,000 for construction) shall submit
a subcontracting plan with its initial offer. The subcontracting plan
will be negotiated concurrently with price and any required technical
and management proposals, unless the offeror submits a
previously-approved commercial products plan.

\(b\) Maximum practicable utilization of small, HUBZone small, small
disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran
owned small business concerns as subcontractors is a matter of national
interest with both social and economic benefits. The General Services
Administration (GSA) expects that an offeror\'s subcontracting plan will
reflect a commitment to assuring that small, HUBZone small, small
disadvantaged, and women-owned, veteran-owned and service-disabled
veteran owned small business concerns are provided the maximum
practicable opportunity, consistent with efficient contract performance,
to participate as subcontractors in the performance of the resulting
contract. An offeror submitting a commercial products plan can reflect
this commitment through subcontracting opportunities it provides that
relate to the offeror\'s production generally; i.e., for both its
commercial and Government business.

\(c\) GSA believes that this potential contract provides significant
opportunities for the use of small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged,
and women-owned, veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran owned small
business concerns as subcontractors. Consequently, in addressing the
eleven elements described at FAR 52.219-9(d) \[SEE D.1\]of the clause in
this contract entitled Small Business Subcontracting Plan, the offeror
shall:

> \(1\) Demonstrate that its subcontracting plan represents a creative
> and innovative program for involving small, HUBZone small, small
> disadvantaged, and women-owned, veteran-owned and service-disabled
> veteran owned small business concerns in performing the contract.
>
> \(2\) Include a description of the offeror\'s subcontracting
> strategies used in any previous contracts, significant achievements,
> and how this plan will build upon those earlier achievements.
>
> \(3\) Demonstrate through its plan that it understands the small
> business subcontracting program\'s objectives and GSA\'s expectations,
> and it is committed to taking those actions necessary to meet these
> goals or objectives.

\(d\) In determining the acceptability of any subcontracting plan, the
Contracting Officer will take each of the following actions:

> \(1\) Review the plan to verify that the offeror demonstrates an
> understanding of the small business subcontracting program\'s
> objectives and GSA\'s expectations with respect to the program and has
> included all the information, goals, and assurances required by FAR
> 52.219-9. \[SEE D.1\]
>
> \(2\) Consider previous goals and achievements of contractors in the
> same industry.
>
> \(3\) Consider information and potential sources obtained from
> agencies administering national and local preference programs and
> other advocacy groups in evaluating whether the goals stated in the
> plan adequately reflect the anticipated potential for subcontracting
> to small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned,
> veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran owned small business
> concerns.
>
> \(4\) Review the offeror\'s description of its strategies, historical
> performance and significant achievements in placing subcontracts for
> the same or similar products or services with small, HUBZone small,
> small disadvantaged, and women-owned, veteran-owned and
> service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns. The offeror\'s
> description can apply to commercial as well as previous Government
> contracts.

\(e\) Failure to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan and/or correct
deficiencies in a plan within the time specified by the Contracting
Officer shall make the offeror ineligible for award.

**SIGNIFICANT CHANGES (CP-FSS-2) (OCT 1988)**

The attention of Offeror is invited to the following changes made since
the issuance of the last solicitation for the supplies/services covered
herein:

1\. **SOLICITATION REFRESH.** This is a refresh of the originally issued
solicitation. IT IS STILL THE SAME SOLICITATION. The only changes,
unless otherwise indicated are updates to the provision and clauses from
the original solicitation. All amendments have been incorporated into
the refreshed solicitation. NOTE: Refresh Number 5 through Number 8 are
Reserved.

2\. **RECEIPT OF OFFERS/SCHEDULE CONTRACT PERIOD**. This standing
solicitation will remain in effect until replaced by an updated
solicitation. There will be no closing date for receipt of offers.
Therefore, offers may be submitted for consideration at any time. There
is no prescribed contract beginning and ending date. Contracts awarded
under this Information Technology Solicitation will have variable
contract periods; i.e., contracts will be in effect for an initial
period of five years from the date of award, with a possibility to
extend the contract for three optional five year periods. For a possible
total contract period of 20 years. See A-FSS-11 CONSIDERATION OF OFFERS
UNDER STANDING SOLICITATION and I-FSS-163 OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF
THE CONTRACT (EVERGREEN).

3\. **SOLICITATION FORMAT/CONTENTS**. This solicitation has been
prepared in accordance with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial
Items, which implements Title VIII of the Federal Acquisition
Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994 (Public Law 103-355), the Clinger-Cohen
Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-106), and the final rule, published as
General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) Change 76,
regarding commercial item acquisitions under the Multiple Award
Schedules Program. The contract format and data requirements in this
solicitation differ somewhat from previous solicitations. Offerors are
strongly advised to carefully review the entire solicitation document.

4\. **MANDATORY ACCEPTANCE OF CREDIT CARD**. Contractors are required to
accept credit cards for payments equal to or less than the
micro-purchase threshold for oral or written delivery orders.
Contractors are encouraged to accept credit cards for orders above the
micro-purchase threshold. See GSAR 552.232-77 PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD,
VARIATION. \[SEE C.17\]

5\. **GSA *Advantage!.*** The GSA Advantage!, an electronic information
and ordering system encompasses all of the products and services under
this schedule. Contractors are required to display product, service and
pricing information on GSA Advantage!. \[See C.31 and C.53\].

6\. **PAST PERFORMANCE**. In order to assist the Government in assessing
an Offeror\'s past performance, each company responding to this
solicitation will be required to have Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) c/o Open
Ratings, a strategic partner with D&B, complete a Past Performance
Evaluation Report on that firm. The request must be made prior to the
submission of a proposal. Each Offeror must submit, with its proposal, a
completed copy of the past performance evaluation form sent, by the
Offeror, to Open Ratings. Any charges associated with the Past
Performance Evaluation Report will be paid by the Offeror. See F.2 PAST
PERFORMANCE and ATTACHMENT II - PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REPORT BY
OPEN RATINGS.

7\. **ADDITION OF ATTACHMENTS**. To aid large businesses to draft a
Small Subcontracting Business Plan, Attachment III Guideline for Small
Subcontracting Business Plan has been updated to include Service
Disabled Veteran-owned small business.

8\. **COOPERATIVE PURCHASING.** Section 211 of the E-Government Act of
2002 amended the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act to
allow for "cooperative purchasing." Cooperative Purchasing authorizes
State and local government entities to purchase Information Technology
(IT) products and services from the GSA's Schedule 70 and the Corporate
Schedule contracts containing information technology (IT) Special Item
Numbers (SINs). Cooperative Purchasing is limited to the purchase of
Information Technology (IT) \[automated data processing\] equipment

colleges and other institutions of higher education, council of
governments (incorporated or not), regional or interstate government
entities, or any agency or instrumentality of the preceding entities
(including any local educational agency or institution of higher
education), and including legislative and judicial departments. The
Final Rule regarding Cooperative Purchasing was issued in the Federal
Register on May 18, 2004. and is included in this solicitation under
Refresh #14.

NOTE TO FEDERAL AGENCIES: Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12
(HSPD-12), "Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal
Employees and Contractors" establishes the requirement for a mandatory
Government-wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification
issued by the Federal Government to its employees and contractors
(including contractor employees) in order to enhance security, increase
Government efficiency, reduce identity fraud, and protect personal
privacy. Further, the Directive requires the Department of Commerce to
promulgate a Federal standard for secure and reliable forms of
identification within six months of the date of the Directive. As a
result, the National Institute of Standards and Technology released
Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201: Personal Identity
Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors on February 25, 2005.
FIPS 201 requires that the digital certificates incorporated into the
Personal Identity Verification identity credentials comply with the
X.509 Certificate Policy for the U.S. Federal PKI Common Policy
Framework.

The Federal Government has established the PKI Shared Service Provider
Program to insure that Digital Certificate Service Providers are
compliant with the X.509 Certificate Policy for the U.S. Federal PKI
Common Policy Framework. Digital certificate service providers whose
services are deemed to be compliant will be eligible to participate in
this program. Federal agencies are advised that they may only procure
X.509 digital certificates and services for internal use that meet the
requirements established in FIPS 201.

place orders for eligible ordering activities, as defined in paragraph
(a) of the clause at 552.238-78, by EDI using computer-to-computer EDI.

and software necessary to transmit and receive data electronically.
Additionally, each party to the TPA shall be responsible for the costs

#### C.8 ORDER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (G-FSS-907) (APR 1984)

Contractors shall acknowledge only those orders which state \"Order
Acknowledgement Required.\" These orders shall be acknowledged within 10
days after receipt. Such acknowledgement shall be sent to the activity
placing the order and contain information pertinent to the order,
including the anticipated delivery date.

#### C.9 BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS (I-FSS-646) (MAY 2000) 

Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA\'s) can reduce costs and save time
because individual orders and invoices are not required for each
procurement but can instead be documented on a consolidated basis. The
Contractor agrees to enter into BPA\'s with ordering activities provided
that:

\(a\) The period of time covered by such agreements shall not exceed the
period of the contract including option year period(s);

\(b\) Orders placed under such agreements shall be issued in accordance
with all applicable regulations and the terms and conditions of the
contract; and

\(c\) BPAs may be established to obtain the maximum discount (lowest net
price) available in those schedule contracts containing volume or
quantity discount arrangements.

#### C.10 ORDER LIMITATIONS (FAR 52.216-19)(OCT 1995) (VARIATION I-AUG 1999) (DEVIATION -- SEP 2003)

\(a\) Minimum order. When the ordering activity requires supplies or
services covered by this contract in an amount less than \$100, the
ordering activity is not obligated to purchase, nor is the Contractor
obligated to furnish those supplies or services under the contract.
However, offerors may, if willing to accept smaller orders, specify a
smaller amount in their offers. If a smaller amount is offered, it is
mutually agreed that the Contractor will accept such orders and specify
the smaller minimum order limitation in the applicable
catalog/pricelist. If the offeror fails to specify a smaller amount, the
ordering activity may place orders for a smaller amount. Such orders
shall be deemed to be accepted by the Contractor, unless returned to the
ordering office within 5 workdays after receipt by the Contractor.

\(b\) Maximum order. The Contractor is not obligated to honor any order
for a combination of items in excess of:

> [ITEM NUMBER/SIN MAXIMUM ORDER]{.underline}
>
> 132‑3 \$500,000 per order
>
> 132-4 \$500,000 per order

\(c\) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, the Contractor shall honor
any order exceeding the maximum orders in paragraph (b), unless that
order (or orders) is returned to the ordering office within 5 workdays
after receipt, with written notice stating the Contractor\'s intent not
to ship the item (or items) called for and the reasons. Upon receiving
this notice, the ordering activity may acquire the supplies or services
from another source.

\(d\) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) and (c) above, the Contractor shall
honor any purchase card orders exceeding the maximum orders in paragraph
(b), unless that order (or orders) is returned to the ordering office
within 24 hours after receipt, with written notice stating the
Contractor's intent not to ship the item (or items) called for and the
reasons. Upon receiving this notice, the ordering activity may acquire
the supplies or services from another source.

#### C.11 REQUIREMENTS EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM ORDER (I-FSS-125) (SEP 1999) 

\(a\) In accordance with FAR 8.404, before placing an order that exceeds
the maximum order threshold, ordering offices shall-

> \(1\) Review additional schedule contractors\' catalogs/price lists or
> use the \"GSA Advantage!\" on-line shopping service;
>
> \(2\) Based upon the initial evaluation, generally seek price
> reductions from the schedule contractor(s) appearing to provide the
> best value (considering price and other factors); and
>
> \(3\) After price reductions have been sought, place the order with
> the schedule contractor that provides the best value and results in
> the lowest overall cost alternative (see FAR 8.404(a)). If further
> price reductions are not offered, an order may still be placed, if the
> ordering office determines that it is appropriate.

\(b\) Vendors may:

> \(1\) offer a new lower price for this requirement (the Price
> Reduction clause is not applicable to orders placed over the maximum
> order in FAR 52.216-19 Order Limitations \[SEE C.10\].)
>
> \(2\) offer the lowest price available under the contract; or
>

the Contractor selected in accordance with FAR 8.404. The order will be
placed under the contract.

\(d\) Sales for orders that exceed the Maximum Order shall be reported
in accordance with GSAR 552.238-74\
\[SEE C.22\].

#### C.13 COMMERCIAL DELIVERY SCHEDULE (MULTIPLE AWARD SCHEDULE) (GSAR 552.211-78) (FEB 1996) (DEVIATION -- MAY 2003)

\(a\) [Time of Delivery]{.underline}. The Contractor shall deliver to
destination within the number of calendar days after receipt of order
(ARO) in the case of F.O.B. Destination prices; or to place of shipment
in transit in the case of F.O.B. Origin prices, as set forth below.
Offerors shall insert in the \"Time of Delivery (days ARO)\" column in
the schedule of Items a definite number of calendar days within which
delivery will be made. In no case shall the offered delivery time exceed
the Contractor\'s normal commercial practice. The ordering activity
requires the Contractor\'s normal commercial delivery time, as long as
it is less than the \"stated\" delivery time(s) shown below. If the
Offeror does not insert a delivery time in the schedule of items, the
Offeror will be deemed to offer delivery in accordance with the ordering
activity's stated delivery time, as stated below:

> ITEMS OR GROUP OF ITEMS ORDERING ACTIVITY'S CONTRACTOR\'S NORMAL
>
> (Special Item No. or DELIVERY TIME COMMERCIAL DELIVERY
>
> Nomenclature) (Days ARO) TIME
>
> 132-3 30 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
>
> 132-4 30 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

>
> 132-4 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
>
> 132-8 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
>
> 132-32 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
>
> 132-33 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

\(c\) Overnight and 2-Day Delivery Times. Ordering activities may
require overnight or 2-day delivery. The Offeror is requested to
annotate its price list or by separate attachment identify the items
that can be delivered overnight or within 2 days. Contractors offering
such delivery services will be required to state in the cover sheet to
its FSS price list details concerning this service.

#### C.14 URGENT REQUIREMENTS (I-FSS-140-B)(JAN 1994) 

When the Federal Supply Schedule contract delivery period does not meet
the bona fide urgent delivery requirements of an ordering agency,
agencies are encouraged, if time permits, to contact the Contractor for
the purpose of obtaining accelerated delivery. The Contractor shall
reply to the inquiry within 3 workdays after receipt. (Telephonic
replies shall be confirmed by the Contractor in writing.) If the
Contractor offers an accelerated delivery time acceptable to the
ordering agency, any order(s) placed pursuant to the agreed upon
accelerated delivery time frame shall be delivered within this shorter
delivery time and in accordance with all other terms and conditions of
the contract.

#### C.15 DELIVERIES TO THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE (F-FSS-230) (JAN 1994)

\(a\) Applicability. This clause applies to orders placed for the U.S.
Postal Service (USPS) and accepted by the Contractor for the delivery of
supplies to a USPS facility (consignee).

\(b\) Mode/Method of Transportation. Unless the Contracting Officer
grants a waiver of this requirement, any shipment that meets the USPS
requirements for mailability (i.e., 70 pounds or less, combined length
and girth not more than 108 inches, etc.) delivery shall be accomplished
via the use of the USPS. Other commercial services shall not be used,
but this does not preclude the Contractor from making delivery by the
use of the Contractor\'s own vehicles.

\(c\) Time of Delivery. Notwithstanding the required time for delivery
to destination as may be specified elsewhere in this contract, if
shipments under this clause are mailed not later than five (5) calendar
days before the required delivery date, delivery shall be deemed to have
been made timely.

#### C.16 CONTRACTOR\'S BILLING RESPONSIBILITIES (GSAR 552.232-83) (MAY 2003)

The Contractor is required to perform all billings made pursuant to this
contract. However, if the Contractor has dealers which participate on
the contract, and the billing/payment process by the Contractor for
sales made by the dealer is a significant administrative burden, the
following alternative procedures may be used. Where dealers are allowed
by the Contractor to bill ordering activities and accept payment in the
Contractor\'s name, the Contractor agrees to obtain from all dealers
participating in the performance of the contract a written agreement
which will require dealers to --

> \(1\) Comply with the same terms and conditions regarding prices as
> the Contractor for sales made under the contract;
>
> \(2\) Maintain a system of reporting sales under the contract to the
> manufacturer, which includes:
>
> \(i\) the date of sale;
>
> \(ii\) the ordering activity to which the sale was made;
>
> \(iii\) the service or product/model sold;
>
> \(iv\) the quantity of each service or product/model sold;
>
> \(v\) the price at which it was sold, including discounts; and
>
> \(vi\) all other significant sales data.
>
> \(3\) Be subject to audit by the Government, with respect to sales
> made under the contract; and
>
> \(4\) Place orders and accept payment in the name of the Contractor,
> in care of the dealer.

An agreement between a Contractor and its dealers pursuant to this
procedure will not establish privity of contract between dealers and the
Government.

#### C.17 PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD (GSAR 552.232-79) (MAY 2003) 

\(a\) Definitions.

*"Credit Card"* means any credit card used to pay for purchases,
including the Governmentwide Commercial Purchase Card.

*\"Governmentwide commercial purchase card\"* means a uniquely numbered
credit card issued by a contractor under GSA\'s Governmentwide Contract
for Fleet, Travel, and purchase Card Services to named individual
Government employees or entities to pay for official Government
purchases.

*\"Oral order\"* means an order placed orally either in person or by
telephone.

\(b\) The Contractor must accept the credit card for payments equal to
or less than the micro-purchase threshold (see Federal Acquisition
Regulation 2.101) for oral or written orders under this contract.

\(c\) The Contractor and the ordering agency may agree to use the credit
card for dollar amounts over the micro-purchase threshold, and the
Government encourages the Contractor to accept payment by the purchase
card. The dollar value of a purchase card action must not exceed the
ordering agency\'s established limit. If the Contractor will not accept
payment by the purchase card for an order exceeding the micro-purchase
threshold, the Contractor must so advise the ordering agency within 24
hours of receipt of the order.

\(d\) The Contractor shall not process a transaction for payment through
the credit card clearinghouse until the purchased supplies have been
shipped or services performed. Unless the cardholder requests correction
or replacement of a defective or faulty item under other contract
requirements, the Contractor must immediately credit a cardholder\'s
account for items returned as defective or faulty.

\(e\) Payments made using the Governmentwide commercial purchase card
are not eligible for any negotiated prompt payment discount. Payment
made using an ordering activity debit card will receive the applicable
prompt payment discount.

#### C.18 IMPREST FUNDS (PETTY CASH) (I-FSS-918) (MAY 2000)

The Contractor agrees to accept cash payment for purchases made under
the terms of the contract in conformance with Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) 13.305.

#### C.19 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE-FACNET (I-FSS-599 ) (SEP 2006) 

\(a\) General Background.

The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994 establishes the
Federal Acquisition Computer Network (FACNET) requiring the Government
to evolve its acquisition process from one driven by paperwork into an
expedited process based on electronic commerce/electronic data
interchange (EC/EDI). EC/EDI means more than merely automating manual
processes and eliminating paper transactions. It can and will help to
move business processes (e.g., procurement, finance, logistics, etc.)
into a fully electronic environment and fundamentally change the way
organizations operate.

\(b\) Trading Partners and Value-Added Networks (VAN\'s).

Within the FACNET architecture, electronic documents (e.g., orders,
invoices, etc.) are carried between the Federal Government\'s procuring
office and contractors (now known as \"trading partners\"). These
transactions are carried by commercial telecommunications companies
called Value-Added Networks (VAN\'s).

EDI can be done using commercially available hardware, software, and
telecommunications. The selection of a VAN is a business decision
contractors must make. There are many different VAN\'s which provide a
variety of electronic services and different pricing strategies. If your
VAN only provides communications services, you may also need a software
translation package.

\(c\) Registration Instructions.

DOD will require Contractors to register as trading partners to do
business with the Government. This policy can be reviewed via the
INTERNET at
<http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/1999/b03011999_bt079-99.html>.

To do EDI with the Government, Contractors must register as a trading
partner. Contractors will provide regular business information, banking
information, and EDI capabilities to all agencies in this single
registration. A central repository of all trading partners, called the
Central Contractor Registration (CCR) <http://www.ccr.gov/> has been
developed. All Government procuring offices and other interested parties
will have access to this central repository. The database is structured
to identify the types of data elements which are public information and
those which are confidential and not releasable.

To register, contractors must provide their Dun and Bradstreet (DUNS)
number. The DUNS number is available by calling 1(800)333-0505. It is
provided and maintained free of charge and only takes a few minutes to
obtain. Contractors will need to provide their Tax Identification Number
(TIN). The TIN is assigned by the Internal Revenue Service by calling
1(800)829-1040. Contractors will also be required to provide information
about company bank or financial institution for electronic funds
transfer (EFT).

Contractors may register through on-line at <http://www.ccr.gov/> or
through their Value Added Network (VAN) using an American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) ASC X12 838 transaction set, called a
\"Trading Partner Profile.\" A transaction set is a standard format for
moving electronic data. VAN\'s will be able to assist contractors with
registration.

\(d\) Implementation Conventions.

All EDI transactions must comply with the Federal Implementation
Conventions (IC\'s). Many VAN\'s and software providers have already
built the IC requirements into their products. If you need to see the
IC\'s, they are available on a registry maintained by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is accessible via the
INTERNET

at <http://www.itl.nist.gov/lab/csl-pubs.htm>. IC\'s are available for
common business documents such as Purchase Order, Price Sales Catalog,
Invoice, Request for Quotes, etc.

\(e\) Additional Information.

GSA has additional information available for vendors who are interested
in starting to use EC/EDI. Contact the Contracting Officer for a copy of
the latest handbook. Several resources are available to vendors to
assist in implementing EC/EDI; specific addresses are available in the
handbook or from the Contracting Officer:

> \(1\) Electronic Commerce Resource Centers (ECRC\'s) are a network of
> U.S. Government-sponsored centers that provide EC/EDI training and
> support to the contractor community. They are found in over a dozen
> locations around the country.
>
> \(2\) Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTAC\'s) and Small
> Business Development Centers (SBDC\'s) provide management assistance
> to small business owners. Each state has several locations.
>
> \(3\) Most major US cities have an EDI user group of companies who
> meet periodically to share information on EDI-related subjects.

#### C.20 ANSI STANDARDS (C-FSS-427) (JUL 1991)

ANSI Standards cited in this solicitation may be obtained from the
American National Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West 42nd Street, 13th
Floor, New York, NY 10036 (Tel: (212) 642-4900).

#### C.21 ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS (GSAR 552.232-23) (SEP 1999) (DEVIATION -- MAY 2003)

Because this is a requirements or indefinite quantity contract under
which more than one agency may place orders, paragraph (a) of the
Assignment of Claims clause (FAR 52.232-23) is inapplicable and the
following is substituted therefore:

In order to prevent confusion and delay in making payment, the
Contractor shall not assign any claim(s) for amounts due or to become
due under this contract. However, the Contractor is permitted to assign
separately to a bank, trust company, or other financial institution,
including any Federal lending agency, under the provisions of the
Assignment of Claims Act, as amended, 31 U.S.C. 3727, 41 U.S.C. 15
(hereinafter referred to as \"the Act\"), all amounts due or to become
due under any order amounting to \$1,000 or more issued by any ordering
activity under this contract. Any

such assignment takes effect only if and when the assignee files written
notice of the assignment together with a true copy of the instrument of
assignment with the contracting officer issuing the order and the
finance office designated in the order to make payment. Unless otherwise
stated in the order, payments to an assignee of any amounts due or to
become due under any order assigned may, to the extent specified in the
Act, be subject to reduction or set-off.

**C.22 RESERVED**

#### C.23 INDUSTRIAL FUNDING FEE AND SALES REPORTING (GSAR 552.238-74) (JUL 2003) 

\(a\) Reporting of Federal Supply Schedule Sales. The Contractor shall
report all contract sales under this contract as follows:

> \(1\) The Contractor shall accurately report the dollar value, in U.S.
> dollars and rounded to the nearest whole dollar, of all sales under
> this contract by calendar quarter (January 1-March 31, April 1-June
> 30, July 1-September 30, and October 1-December 31). The dollar value
> of a sale is the price paid by the Schedule user for products and
> services on a Schedule task or delivery order. The reported contract
> sales value shall include the Industrial Funding Fee (IFF). The
> Contractor shall maintain a consistent accounting method of sales
> reporting, based on the Contractor's established commercial accounting
> practice. The acceptable points at which sales may be reported
> include\--
>
> \(i\) Receipt of order;
>
> \(ii\) Shipment or delivery, as applicable;
>
> \(iii\) Issuance of an invoice; or
>
> \(iv\) Payment.
>
> \(2\) Contract sales shall be reported to FSS within 30 calendar days
> following the completion of each reporting quarter. The Contractor
> shall continue to furnish quarterly reports, including "zero" sales,
> through physical completion of the last outstanding task order or
> delivery order of the contract.
>
> \(3\) Reportable sales under the contract are those resulting from
> sales of contract items to authorized users unless the purchase was
> conducted pursuant to a separate contracting authority such as a
> Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC); a separately awarded FAR
> Part 12, FAR Part 13, FAR Part 14, or FAR Part 15 procurement; or a
> non-FAR contract. Sales made to state and local governments under
> Cooperative Purchasing authority shall be counted as reportable sales
> for IFF purposes.
>
> \(4\) The Contractor shall electronically report the quarterly dollar
> value of sales, including "zero" sales, by utilizing the automated
> reporting system at an Internet website designated by the General
> Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Supply Service (FSS). Prior to
> using this automated system, the Contractor shall complete contract
> registration with the FSS Vendor Support Center (VSC). The website
> address, as well as registration instructions and reporting
> procedures, will be provided at the time of award. The Contractor
> shall report sales separately for each National Stock Number (NSN),
> Special Item Number (SIN), or sub-item.
>
> \(5\) The Contractor shall convert the total value of sales made in
> foreign currency to U.S. dollars using the "Treasury Reporting Rates
> of Exchange" issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury, Financial
> Management Service. The Contractor shall use the issue of the Treasury
> report in effect on the last day of the calendar quarter. The report
> is available from Financial Management Service, International Funds
> Branch, Telephone: (202) 874-7994, Internet:
> http://www.fms.treas.gov/intn.html.

\(b\) The Contractor shall remit the IFF at the rate set by GSA's FSS.

> \(1\) The Contractor shall remit the IFF to FSS in U.S. dollars within
> 30 calendar days after the end of the reporting quarter; final payment
> shall be remitted within 30 days after physical completion of the last
> outstanding task order or delivery order of the contract.
>
> \(2\) The IFF represents a percentage of the total quarterly sales
> reported. This percentage is set at the discretion of GSA's FSS. GSA's
> FSS has the unilateral right to change the percentage at any time, but
> not more than once per year. FSS will provide reasonable notice prior
> to the effective date of the change. The IFF reimburses FSS for the
> costs of operating the Federal Supply Schedules Program and recoups
> its operating costs from ordering activities. Offerors must include
> the IFF in their prices. The fee is included in the award price(s) and
> reflected in the total amount charged to ordering activities. FSS will
> post notice of the current IFF at <http://72a.fss.gsa.gov/> or
> successor website as appropriate.

\(c\) Within 60 days of award an FSS representative will provide the
Contractor with specific written procedural instructions on remitting
the IFF. FSS reserves the unilateral right to change such instructions
from time to time, following notification to the Contractor.

\(d\) Failure to remit the full amount of the IFF within 30 calendar
days after the end of the applicable reporting period constitutes a
contract debt to the United States Government under the terms of FAR
Subpart 32.6. The Government may exercise all rights under the Debt
Collection Improvement Act of 1996, including withholding or setting off
payments and interest on the debt (see FAR clause 52.232-17, Interest).
Should the Contractor fail to submit the required sales reports, falsify
them, or fail to timely pay the IFF, this is sufficient cause for the
Government to terminate the contract for cause.

#### C.24 OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT (EVERGREEN) (I-FSS-163) (APR 2000) 

\(a\) The Government may require continued performance of this contract
for an additional 5 year period when it is determined that exercising
the option is advantageous to the Government considering price and other
factors.. The option clause may not be exercised more than three times.
When the option to extend the term of this contract is exercised the
following conditions are applicable:

> \(1\) It is determined that exercising the option is advantageous to
> the Government considering price and the other factors covered in (2
> through 4 below).
>
> \(2\) The Contractor\'s electronic catalog/pricelist has been
> received, approved, posted, and kept current on GSA Advantage!(tm) in
> accordance with clause I-FCI-600, Contract Price Lists.
>
> \(3\) Performance has been acceptable under the contract.
>
> \(4\) Subcontracting goals have been reviewed and approved.

\(b\) The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by providing a
written notice to the Contractor within 30 days, unless otherwise noted,
prior to the expiration of the contract or option.

\(c\) When the Government exercises its option to extend the term of
this contract, prices in effect at the time the option is exercised will
remain in effect during the option period, unless an adjustment is made
in accordance with another contract clause (e.g., Economic Price
Adjustment Clause \[SEE C.27\] or Price Reduction Clause \[SEE C.28\]).

#### C.25 NOTICE REGARDING OPTION(S) (GSAR 552.217-71) (NOV 1992)

The General Services Administration (GSA) has included an option to
extend the term of the contract in order to demonstrate the value it
places on quality performance by providing a mechanism for continuing a
contractual relationship with a successful offeror that performs at a
level which meets or exceeds GSA\'s quality performance expectations as
communicated to the Contractor, in writing, by the Contracting Officer
or designated representative. When deciding whether to exercise the
option, the Contracting Officer will consider the quality of the
Contractor\'s past performance under this contract in accordance with 48
CFR 517.207.

#### C.26 EXAMINATION OF RECORDS BY GSA (MULTIPLE AWARD SCHEDULE) (GSAR 552.215-71) (JUL 2003)

The Contractor agrees that the Administrator of General Services or any

#### C.27 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT-FSS MULTIPLE AWARD SCHEDULE CONTRACTS 

#### 

#### A. The following Economic Price Adjustment is for products and/or services that were awarded based on a Commercial Catalog Price. (GSAR 552.216-70) (SEP 1999) (ALTERNATE I-SEP 1999)

Price adjustments include price increases and price decreases.
Adjustments will be considered as follows:

\(a\) Contractors shall submit price decreases anytime during the
contract period in which they occur. Price decreases will be handled in
accordance with the provisions of the Price Reduction Clause.

\(b\) Contractors may request price increases to be effective on or
after the first 12 months of the contract period providing all of the
following conditions are met.

> \(1\) Increases resulting from a reissue or other modification of the
> Contractor\'s commercial catalog/pricelist that was used as the basis
> for the contract award.
>
> \(2\) No more than three increases will be considered during each
> succeeding 12-month period of the contract.(For succeeding contract
> periods of less than 12 months, up to three increases will be
> considered subject to the other conditions of this subparagraph (b)).
>
> \(3\) Increases are requested before the last 60 days of the contract
> period.
>
> \(4\) At least 30 days elapse between requested increases.

\(c\) In any contract period during which price increases will be
considered, the aggregate of the increases during any 12-month period
shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the contract unit price in effect
at the end of the preceding 12-month period. The Government reserves the
right to raise the ceiling when market conditions during the contract
period support such a change.

\(d\) The following material shall be submitted with the request for a
price increase:

> \(1\) A copy of the commercial catalog/pricelist showing the price
> increase and the effective date for commercial customers.
>
> \(2\) Commercial Sales Practice format regarding the Contractor\'s
> commercial pricing practice relating to the reissued or modified
> catalog/pricelist, or a certification that no change has occurred in
> the data since completion of the initial negotiation or a subsequent
> submission.
>
> \(3\) Documentation supporting the reasonableness of the price
> increase.

\(e\) The Government reserves the right to exercise one of the following
options:

> \(1\) Accept the Contractor\'s price increases as requested when all
> conditions of (b), (c), and (d) of this clause are satisfied;
>
> \(2\) Negotiate more favorable discounts from the new commercial
> prices when the total increase requested is not supported; or,
>
> \(3\) Remove the product(s) from contract involved pursuant to the
> Cancellation Clause of this contract, when the increase requested is
> not supported.

\(f\) The contract modification reflecting the price adjustment shall be
signed by the Government and made effective upon receipt of notification
from the Contractor that the new catalog/pricelist has been mailed to
the addressees previously furnished by the Contracting Officer, provided
that in no event shall such price adjustment be effective prior to the
effective date of the commercial price increases. The increased price
shall apply to delivery orders issued to the Contractor on or after the
effective date of the contract modification.

**B. The following Economic Price Adjustment is for products and/or
services that were awarded NOT based on a Commercial Catalog Price.
(I-FSS-969) (JAN 2002)**

Price adjustments include price increases and price decreases.
Adjustments will be considered as follows:

\(a\) Contractors shall submit price decreases anytime during the
contract period in which they occur. Price decreases will be handled in
accordance with the provisions of the Price Reduction Clause.

\(b\) There are two types of economic price adjustments (EPAs) possible
under the Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) program for contracts not based
on commercial catalogs or price lists as described below. Price
adjustments may be effective on or after the first 12 months of the
contract period on the following basis:

> \(1\) **Adjustments based on escalation rates negotiated prior to
> contract award**. Normally, when escalation rates are negotiated, they
> result in a fixed price for the term of the contract. No separate
> contract modification will be provided when increases are based on
> negotiated escalation rates. Price increases will be effective on the
> 12-month anniversary date of the contract effective date, subject to
> paragraph (f), below.
>
> \(2\) **Adjustments based on an agreed-upon market indicator prior to
> award**. The market indicator, as used in this clause, means the
> originally released public index, public survey or other public, based
> market indicator. The market indicator shall be the originally
> released index, survey or market indicator, not seasonally adjusted,
> published by the \[to be negotiated\], and made available at \[to be
> identified\]. Any price adjustment shall be based on the percentage
> change in the designated (i.e. indicator identification and date)
> market indicator from the initial award to the latest available as of
> the anniversary date of the contract effective date, subject to
> paragraph (e), below. If the market indicator is discontinued or
> deemed no longer available or reliable by the Government, the
> Government and the Contractor will mutually agree to a substitute. The
> contract modification reflecting the price adjustment will be
> effective upon approval by the Contracting Officer, subject to
> paragraph (g), below. The adjusted prices shall apply to orders issued
> to the Contractor on or after the effective date of the contract
> modification.

\(c\) Notwithstanding the two economic price adjustments discussed
above, the Government recognizes the potential impact of unforeseeable
major changes in market conditions. For those cases where such changes
do occur, the contracting officer will review requests to make
adjustments, subject to the Government's examination of industry-wide
market conditions and the conditions in paragraph (d) and (e), below. If
adjustments are accepted, the contract will be modified accordingly. The
determination of whether or not extra-ordinary circumstances exist rests
with the contracting officer. The determination of an appropriate
mechanism of adjustment will be subject to negotiations.

\(d\) Conditions of Price change requests under paragraphs b(2) and c
above.:

> \(1\) No more than three increases will be considered during each
> succeeding 12-month period of the contract. (For succeeding contract
> periods of less than 12 months, up to three increases will be
> considered subject to the other conditions of subparagraph (b)).

\(2\) Increases are requested before the last 60 days of the contract
period, including options.

> \(3\) At least 30 days elapse between requested increases.
>
> \(4\) In any contract period during which price increases will be
> considered, the aggregate of the increases during any 12-month period
> shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the contract unit price in
> effect at the end of the preceding 12-month period. The Government
> reserves the right to raise the ceiling when market conditions during
> the contract period support such a change.

\(e\) The following material shall be submitted with request for a price
increase under paragraphs b(2) and c above:

> \(1\) A copy of the index, survey or pricing indicator showing the
> price increase and the effective date.
>
> \(2\) Commercial Sales Practice format, per contract clause 52.215-21
> Alternate IV, demonstrating the relationship of the Contractor\'s
> commercial pricing practice to the adjusted pricing proposed or a
> certification that no change has occurred in the data since completion
> of the initial negotiation or a subsequent submission.
>
> \(3\) Any other documentation requested by the Contracting Officer to
> support the reasonableness of the price increase.

\(f\) The Government reserves the right to exercise one of the following
options:

> \(1\) Accept the Contractor\'s price increases as requested when all
> conditions of (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this clause are satisfied;
>
> \(2\) Negotiate more favorable prices when the total increase
> requested is not supported; or,
>
> \(3\) Decline the price increase when the request is not supported.
> The Contractor may remove the item(s) from contract involved pursuant
> to the Cancellation Clause of this contract.

\(g\) Effective Date of Increases: No price increase shall be effective
until the Government receives the electronic file updates pursuant to
GSAR 552.243-72, Modifications (Multiple Award Schedule).

\(h\) All MAS contracts remain subject to contract clauses GSAR
552.238‑75, "Price Reductions"; and 552.215-72, "Price Adjustment \--
Failure to Provide Accurate Information." In the event the application
of an economic price adjustment results in a price less favorable to the
Government than the price relationship established during negotiation
between the MAS price and the price to the designated customer, the
Government will maintain the price relationship to the designated
customer.

#### C.28 PRICE REDUCTIONS (GSAR 552.238-75) (MAY 2004) (ALTERNATE I -- MAY 2003)

\(a\) Before award of a contract, the Contracting Officer and the
Offeror will agree upon (1) the customer (or category of customers)
which will be the basis of award, and (2) the Government\'s price or
discount relationship to the identified customer (or category of
customers). This relationship shall be maintained throughout the
contract period. Any change in the Contractor\'s commercial pricing or
discount arrangement applicable to the identified customer (or category
of customers) which disturbs this relationship shall constitute a price
reduction.

\(b\) During the contract period, the Contractor shall report to the
Contracting Officer all price reductions to the customer (or category of
customers) that was the basis of award. The Contractor\'s report shall
include an explanation of the conditions under which the reductions were
made.

\(c\) (1) A price reduction shall apply to purchases under this contract
if, after the date negotiations conclude, the Contractor-

> \(i\) Revises the commercial catalog, pricelist, schedule or other
> document upon which contract award was predicated to reduce prices;
>
> \(ii\) Grants more favorable discounts or terms and conditions than
> those contained in the commercial catalog, pricelist, schedule or
> other documents upon which contract award was predicated; or
>
> \(iii\) Grants special discounts to the customer (or category of
> customers) that formed the basis of award, and the change disturbs the
> price/discount relationship of the Government to the customer (or
> category of customers) that was the basis of award.
>
> \(2\) The Contractor shall offer the price reduction to the eligible
> ordering activities with the same effective date, and for the same
> time period, as extended to the commercial customer (or category of
> customers).

\(d\) There shall be no price reduction for sales-

> \(1\) To commercial customers under firm, fixed-price definite
> quantity contracts with specified delivery in excess of the maximum
> order threshold specified in this contract;
>
> \(2\) To eligible ordering activities under this contract; or
>
> \(3\) Made to State and local government entities when the order is
> placed under this contract (and the State and local government entity
> is the agreed upon customer or category of customer that is the basis
> of award); or
>
> \(4\) Caused by an error in quotation or billing, provided adequate
> documentation is furnished by the Contractor to the Contracting
> Officer.

\(e\) The Contractor may offer the Contracting Officer a voluntary
Governmentwide price reduction at any time during the contract period.

\(f\) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of any price
reduction subject to this clause as soon as possible, but not later than
15 calendar days after its effective date.

\(g\) The contract will be modified to reflect any price reduction which
becomes applicable in accordance with this clause.

> interested party for the purpose of filing a protest.
>
> \(viii\) All information establishing the timeliness of the protest
> (see paragraph (b) of this provision).

\(d\) An interested party filing a protest with GSA has the choice of
requesting either that the Contracting Officer or the Agency Protest
Official for GSA decide the protest.

\(e\) The decision by the Agency Protest Official for GSA is an
alternative to a decision by the Contracting Officer. The Agency Protest
Official for GSA will not consider appeals from the Contracting
Officer\'s decision on an agency protest.

\(f\) The deciding official must conduct a scheduling conference with
the protester within three (3) days after the protest is filed. The
scheduling conference will establish deadlines for oral or written
arguments in support of the agency protest and for agency officials to
present information in response to the protest issues. The deciding
official may hear oral arguments in support of the agency protest at the
same time as the scheduling conference, depending on availability of the
necessary parties.

\(g\) Oral conferences may take place either by telephone or in person.
Other parties (e.g., representatives of the program office) may attend
at the discretion of the deciding official.

\(h\) The following procedures apply to information submitted in support
of or in response to an agency protest:

> \(1\) The protester and the agency have only one opportunity to
> support or explain the substance of the protest (either orally, in
> writing, or orally confirmed in writing).
>
> \(2\) GSA procedures do not provide for any discovery.
>
> \(3\) The deciding official has discretion to request additional
> information from either the agency or the protester. However, the
> deciding official will normally decide protests on the basis of
> information provided by the protester and the agency.
>
> \(4\) Except as provided in paragraph (5)(ii) below, the parties are
> encouraged, but not required, to exchange information submitted to the
> Agency Protest Official for GSA.
>
> \(5\) If the agency makes a written response to the protest, the
> following filling requirements apply unless the deciding official
> approves other arrangements:
>
> \(i\) The agency must file its response to the protest with the
> deciding official within five (5) days after the filing of the
> protest.
>
> \(ii\) The agency must also provide the protester with a copy of the
> response on the same day it files the response with the deciding
> official. If the agency believes it needs to redact or withhold any
> information in the response from the protester, it must obtain the
> approval of the deciding official.

\(6\) Any additional information that either party wants to submit in
writing after one-time oral arguments in support of the agency protest,
must be received by the deciding official within two (2) days after the
date of the oral arguments.

\(i\) The deciding official will resolve the protest through informal
presentations or meetings to the maximum extent practicable.

\(j\) An interested party may represent itself or be represented by
legal counsel. GSA will not reimburse the party for any legal fees
related to the agency protest.

\(k\) GSA will stay award or suspend contract performance in accordance
with FAR 33.103(f). The stay or suspension, unless over-ridden, remains
in effect until the protest is decided, dismissed, or withdrawn.

\(l\) The deciding official will make a best effort to issue a decision
on the protest within twenty-eight (28) days after the filing date. The
decision may be oral or written. If the decision is communicated orally
to the protester, the deciding official will confirm in writing within
three (3) days after the decision.

\(m\) GSA may dismiss or stay proceedings on an agency protest if a
protest on the same or similar basis is filed with a protest forum
outside of GSA.

**C.59 RE-REPRESENTATION OF SIZE STATUS FOR OPTION PERIODS (I-FSS-95)
(JUN 2003)**

contracts frequently contain options that allow the contract to be
extended when it is determined to be in the best interest of the
Government. Contract extensions may have an impact on the program
established by the Government to assist small businesses when there is a
change in the status of the Contractor during the contract term.

Prior to the time the Contracting Officer exercises an option, the
Contractor will be required to re-represent business size status and
8(a) program eligibility to the Contracting Officer by completing the
applicable portion of 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and
Certification---Commercial Items, or 52.219-1, Small Business Program
Representations, as applicable to this contract.

> contract option periods exceeds the threshold for a subcontracting
> plan.
>
> \(b\) When the contract resulted from a small business set-aside:
>
> If a previously awarded small business concern re-represents itself as

#### C.60 Defense Priorities and Allocations System Requirements (GSAR 552.211-15) (SEP 2004)

\(a\) Definitions.

"Approved Program" means a program determined to be necessary or
appropriate for priorities and allocations support to promote the
national defense by the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Energy,
or the Department of Homeland Security Under Secretary for Emergency
Preparedness and Response under the authority of the Defense production
Act, the Stafford Act, and Executive Order 12919, or the Selective
Service Act and related statues, and Executive Order 12742. See Schedule
1 of 15 CFR 700 for a list of Delegate Agencies, approved programs, and
program identification symbols at
<http://www.bis.doc.gov/DegenseIndustrialBasePrograms/OSIES/DPAS/Default.htm>.

"Defense Priorities and Allocations Systems (DPAS)" means the regulation
published at 15 CFR Part 700 that requires preferential treatment for
certain contracts and orders placed by a Delegate Agency in support of
an approved program.

"Delegate Agency" means an agency of the U.S. Government authorized by
delegation from the Department of Commerce (DOC) to place priority
ratings on contracts or orders needed to support approved programs.

"Rated Order" means, for the purpose of this contract, a delivery or
task order issued in accordance with the provisions of the DPAS
regulation (15 CFR Part 700).

\(b\) Rated Order Requirement.

From time to time, the Contractor may receive a rated order under this
contract from a Delegate Agency. The Contractor must give preferential
treatment to rated orders as required by the Defense Priorities and
Allocations System (DPAS) regulation (15 CFR 700). The existence of
previously accepted unrated or lower rated orders is not sufficient
reason to reject a rated order. Rated orders take preference over all
unrated orders as necessary to meet required delivery dates. There are
two levels of ratings designated by the symbol of either "DO" or "DX."
All "DO" rated orders have equal priority with each other and take
preference over unrated orders. All "DX" rated orders take preference
over "DO" rated orders and unrated orders. The rating designation is
followed by a program identification symbol. Program identification
symbols indicate which approved program is supported by the rated order
(see Schedule 1 of 15 CFR 700 for a list of Delegate Agencies, approved
programs, and program identification symbols).

\(c\) Additional information.

Additional information may be obtained at the DOC DPAS web site
<http://www.bxa.doc.gov/DefenseIndustrialBasePrograms/OSIES/DPAS/Default.htm>
or by contacting the designated Administrative Contracting Officer.

**C.65 AUTHENTICATION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES (MAY 2006) (C-FCI-007)**

**A. General Background.**

Authentication Products and Services provide for authentication of
individuals for purposes of physical and logical access control,
electronic signature, performance of E-business transactions and
delivery of Government services. Authentication Products and Services
consist of hardware, software components and supporting services that
provide for identity assurance.

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), "Policy for a
Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors"
establishes the requirement for a mandatory Government-wide standard for
secure and reliable forms of identification issued by the Federal
Government to its employees and contractor employees assigned to
Government contracts in order to enhance security, increase Government
efficiency, reduce identity fraud, and protect personal privacy.
Further, the Directive requires the Department of Commerce to promulgate
a Federal standard for secure and reliable forms of identification
within six months of the date of the Directive. As a result, the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201: Personal Identity
Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors on February 25, 2005.
FIPS 201 requires that the digital certificates incorporated into the
Personal Identity Verification (PIV) identity credentials comply with
the X.509 Certificate Policy for the U.S. Federal PKI Common Policy
Framework. In addition, FIPS 201 requires that Federal identity badges
referred to as PIV credentials, issued to Federal employees and
contractors comply with the Standard and associated NIST Special
Publications 800-73, 800-76, 800-78, and 800-79.

**B. Special Item Numbers.**

The General Services Administration has established the E-Authentication
Initiative (see URL: <http://cio.gov/eauthentication>) to provide common
infrastructure for the authentication of the public and internal federal
users for logical access to Federal E-Government applications and
electronic services. To support the government-wide implementation of
HSPD-12 and the Federal E-Authentication Initiative, GSA is establishing
the following Special Item Numbers (SINs):

-   [SIN 132-60: Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES)
    Program]{.underline}. This program provides identity management and
    authentication services and ACES digital certificates for use
    primarily by external end users to access Federal Government
    electronic services and transactions in accordance with the X.509
    Certificate Policy for the Federal ACES Program.

-   [SIN 132-61: PKI Shared Service Providers (PKI SSP)
    Program.]{.underline} This program provides PKI services and digital
    certificates for use by Federal employees and contractors to the
    Federal Government in accordance with the X.509 Certificate Policy
    for the U.S. Federal PKI Common Policy Framework.

-   [SIN 132-62: HSPD-12 Product and Service Components.]{.underline}
    SIN 132-62 is established for products and services for agencies to
    implement the requirements of HSPD-12, FIPS-201 and associated NIST
    special publications. The HSPD-12 implementation components
    specified under this SIN are:

    -   PIV enrollment and registration services,

    -   PIV systems infrastructure,

    -   PIV card management and production services,

    -   PIV card finalization services,

    -   Physical access control products and services,

    -   Logical access control products and services,

    -   PIV system integration services, and

    -   Approved FIPS 201-Compliant products and services.

**C. Qualification Information.**

All of the products and services for the SINs listed above must be
qualified as being compliant with Government-wide requirements before
they will be included on a GSA Information Technology (IT) Schedule
contract. The Qualification Requirements and associated evaluation
procedures against the Qualification Requirements for each SIN and the
specific Qualification Requirements for HSPD-12 implementation
components are presented at the following URL:
http//:www.idmanagement.gov.

In addition, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
has established the NIST Personal Identity Verification Program (NPIVP)
to evaluate integrated circuit chip cards and products against
conformance requirements contained in FIPS 201. GSA has established the
FIPS 201Evaluation Program to evaluate other products needed for agency
implementation of HSPD-12 requirements where normative requirements are
specified in FIPS 201 and to perform card and reader interface testing
for interoperability. Products that are approved as FIPS-201 compliant
through these evaluation and testing programs may be offered directly
through SIN 132-62 under the category "Approved FIPS 201-Compliant
Products and services.

**D. Qualification Requirements.**

Offerors proposing products and services under Special Item Numbers
(SINs) 132-60, 132-61 and 132-62 are required to provide the following:

> 1\. Proposed items must be determined to be compliant with Federal

### E.8 identification of products that have environmental attributes (gsar 552.238-72) (sep 2003)

\(a\) Several laws, Executive orders, and Agency directives require
Federal buyers to purchase products that are less harmful to the
environment, when they are life cycle cost-effective (see FAR Subpart
23.7). The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) requires
contractors to highlight environmental products under Federal Supply
Service schedule contracts in various communications media (e.g.,
publications and electronic formats).

\(b\) Definitions. As used in this clause---

*"Energy-efficient product"* means a product that---

> \(1\) Meets Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency
> criteria for use of the ENERGY STAR® trademark label; or
>
> \(2\) Is in the upper 25 percent of efficiency for all similar
> products as designated by the Department of Energy's Federal Energy
> Management Program.

"*GSA Advantage*!" is an on-line shopping mall and ordering system that
provides customers with access to products and services under GSA
contracts.

"*Other environmental attributes*" refers to product characteristics
that provide environmental benefits, excluding recovered materials and
energy and water efficiency. Several examples of these characteristics
are biodegradable, recyclable, reduced pollutants, ozone safe, and low
volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

"*Post-consumer material*" means a material or finished product that has
served its intended use and has been discarded for disposal or recovery,
having completed its life as a consumer item. Post-consumer material is
part of the broader category of "recovered material." The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has developed a list of EPA-designated products
in their Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPGs) to provide Federal
agencies with purchasing recommendations on specific products in a
Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (RMAN). The RMAN contains
recommended recovered and post-consumer material content levels for the
specific products designated by EPA (40 CFR part 247 and
http://www.epa.gov/cpg/).

"*Recovered materials*" means waste materials and by-products recovered
or diverted from solid waste, but the term does not include those
materials and by-products generated from, and commonly reused within, an
original manufacturing process (Executive Order 13101 and 42 U.S.C.
6903(19) and http://www.epa.gov/cpg/). For paper and paper products, see
the definition at FAR 11.301 (42 U.S.C. 6962(h)).

"*Remanufactured*" means factory rebuilt to original specifications.

"*Renewable energy*" means energy produced by solar, wind, geothermal,
and biomass power.

"*Renewable energy technology*" means---

> \(1\) Technologies that use renewable energy to provide light, heat,
> cooling, or mechanical or electrical energy for use in facilities or
> other activities; or
>
> \(2\) The use of integrated whole-building designs that rely upon
> renewable energy resources, including passive solar design.

taking into consideration the multiplicity and complexity of items of
various manufacturers and the differences in performance required to
accomplish or produce required end results, production and distribution
facilities, price, compliance with delivery requirements, and other
pertinent factors. By providing a selection of comparable supplies or
services, ordering activities are afforded the opportunity to fulfill
their requirements with the item(s) that constitute the best value and
that meet their needs at the lowest overall cost.

\(b\) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or
otherwise furnished to the offeror within the time for acceptance
specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without

> the offeror shall demonstrate that its subcontracting plan represents
> a creative and innovative program for involving small, HUBZone small,
> small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled
> veteran owned small business concerns in performing this contract. An

> commitment in providing maximum practicable opportunities through
> subcontracting opportunities it provides to small, HUBZone small,

> service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns that relate to
> the offeror\'s production generally; i.e., for both its commercial and

> understanding of the small business subcontracting program\'s
> objectives and GSA\'s expectations with respect to the programs and
> has included all the information, goals, and assurances required by
> FAR 52.219-9;
>
> \(2\) Consider previous goals and achievements of contractors in the
> same industry;
>
> \(3\) Consider information and potential sources obtained from
> agencies administering national and local preference programs and
> other advocacy groups in evaluating whether the goals stated in the
> plan adequately reflect the anticipated potential for subcontracting
> to small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned,
> veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business
> concerns; and
>
> \(4\) Review the offeror\'s description of its strategies, historical
> performance and significant achievements in placing subcontracts for
> the same or similar products or services with small, HUBZone small,
> small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled
> veteran owned small business concerns. The offeror\'s description can
> apply to commercial as well as previous Government contracts.

\(c\) Failure to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan and/or correct
deficiencies in a plan within the time specified by the Contracting
Officer shall make the offeror ineligible for award.

manufacturer(s) for Government access, at any time before award or
before agreeing to a modification, to the manufacturer\'s sales records
for the purpose of verifying the information submitted by the
manufacturer. The information is required in order to enable the
Government to make a determination that the offered price is fair and
reasonable. To expedite the review and processing of offers, you should
advise the manufacturer(s) of this requirement. The contracting officer
may require the information be submitted on electronic media with
commercially available spreadsheet(s). The information may be provided
by the manufacturer directly to the Government. If the manufacturer\'s

**Figure 515.4-2-Instructions for Commercial Sales Practices Format**

If you responded \"YES\" to question (3), on the COMMERCIAL SALES
PRACTICES FORMAT, complete the chart in question (4)(a) for the
customer(s) who receive your best discount. If you responded \"NO\"
complete the chart in question (4)(a) showing your written policies or
standard sales practices for all customers or customer categories to
whom you sell at a price (discounts and concessions in combination) that
is equal to or better than the price(s) offered to the Government under
this solicitation or with which the Offeror has a current agreement to
sell at a discount which equals or exceeds the discount(s) offered under
this solicitation. Such agreement shall be in effect on the date the
offer is submitted or contain an effective date during the proposed
multiple award schedule contract period. If your offer is lower than
your price to other customers or customer categories, you will be
aligned with the customer or category of customer that receives your
best price for purposes of the Price Reduction clause at 552.238-75. The
Government expects you to provide information required by the format in
accordance with these instructions that is, to the best of your
knowledge and belief, current, accurate, and complete as of 14 calendar
days prior to its submission. You must also disclose any changes in your
price list(s), discounts and/or discounting policies which occur after
the offer is submitted, but before the close of negotiations. If your
discount practices vary by model or product line, the discount
information should be by model or product line as appropriate. You may
limit the number of models or product lines reported to those which
exceed 75% of actual historical Government sales (commercial sales may
be substituted if Government sales are unavailable) value of the special
item number (SIN).

**Column 1-Identify the applicable customer or category of customer.** A
\"customer\" is any entity, except the Federal Government, which
acquires supplies or services from the Offeror. The term customer
includes, but is not limited to original equipment manufacturers, value
added resellers, state and local governments, distributors, educational
institutions (an elementary, junior high, or degree granting school
which maintains a regular faculty and established curriculum and an
organized body of students), dealers, national accounts, and end users.
In any instance where the Offeror is asked to disclose information for a
customer, the Offeror may disclose information by category of customer
if the offeror\'s discount policies or practices are the same for all
customers in the category. (Use a separate line for each customer or
category of customer.)

**Column 2-Identify the discount**. The term \"discount\" is as defined
in solicitation clause 552.212-70, Preparation of Offer (Multiple Award
Schedule). Indicate the best discount (based on your written discounting
policies or standard commercial discounting practices if you do not have
written discounting policies) at which you sell to the customer or
category of customer identified in column 1, without regard to quantity;
terms and conditions of the agreements under which the discounts are
given; and whether the agreements are written or oral. Net prices or
discounts off of other price lists should be expressed as percentage
discounts from the price list which is the basis of your offer. If the
discount disclosed is a combination of various discounts (prompt
payment, quantity, etc.), the percentage should be broken out for each
type of discount. If the price lists which are the basis of the
discounts given to the customers identified in the chart are different
than the price list submitted upon which your offer is based, identify
the type or title and date of each price list. The contracting officer
may require submission of these price lists. To expedite evaluation,
offerors may provide these price lists at the time of submission.

**Column 3-Identify the quantity or volume of sales**. Insert the
minimum quantity or sales volume which the identified customer or
category of customer must either purchase/order, per order or within a
specified period, to earn the discount. When purchases/orders must be
placed within a specified period to earn a discount indicate the time
period.

**Column 4-Indicate the FOB delivery term for each identified
customer.** See FAR 47.3 for an explanation of FOB delivery terms.

**Column 5-Indicate concessions regardless of quantity granted to the
identified customer or category of customer.** Concessions are defined
in solicitation clause 552.212-70, Preparation of Offers (Multiple Award
Schedule). If the space provided is inadequate, the disclosure should be
made on a separate sheet by reference.

If you respond \"YES\" to question 4 (b) in the Commercial Sales
Practices Format, provide an explanation of the circumstances under
which you deviate from your written policies or standard commercial
sales practices disclosed in the chart on the Commercial Sales Practices
Format and explain how often they occur. Your explanation should include
a discussion of situations that lead to deviations from standard
practice, an explanation of how often they occur, and the controls you
employ to assure the integrity of your pricing. Examples of typical
deviations may include, but are not limited to, one time goodwill
discounts to charity organizations or to compensate an otherwise
disgruntled customer; a limited sale of obsolete or damaged goods; the
sale of sample goods to a new customer; or the sales of prototype goods
for testing purposes.

If deviations from your written policies or standard commercial sales
practices disclosed in the chart on the Commercial Sales Practices
Format are so significant and/or frequent that the Contracting Officer
cannot establish whether the price(s) offered is fair and reasonable,
then you may be asked to provide additional information. The Contracting
Officer may ask for information to demonstrate that you have made
substantial sales of the item(s) in the commercial market consistent
with the information reflected on the chart on the Commercial Sales
Practice Format, a description of the conditions surrounding those sales
deviations, or other information that may be necessary in order for the
Contracting Officer to determine whether your offered price(s) is fair
and reasonable. In cases where additional information is requested, the
Contracting Officer will target the request in order to limit the
submission of data to that needed to establish the reasonableness of the
offered price.

CERTIFICATION

which are used regularly for other than Government purposes, and are
sold or traded by the Contractor in substantial quantities to the

> **20. BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS (BPAs)**
>
> The use of BPAs under any schedule contract to fill repetitive needs

> effectiveness of the BPA(s). Ordering activities shall follow FAR
> 8.405-3 when creating and implementing BPA(s).
>
> **21. CONTRACTOR TEAM ARRANGEMENTS**

Contractors participating in contractor team arrangements must abide by
all terms and conditions of their respective contracts. This includes
compliance with Clauses 552.238-74, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales
Reporting, i.e., each contractor (team member) must report sales and
remit the IFF for all products and services provided under its
individual contract.

22. **INSTALLATION, DEINSTALLATION, REINSTALLATION**

The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in
excess of \$2,000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia
is a party for construction, alteration, or repair (including painting
and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United
States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed
directly upon the site of the work shall received less than the
prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The
requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act do not apply if the construction
work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or
services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple
installation or alteration of a public building or public work that is
incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply contract.
However, if the construction, alteration or repair is segregable and
exceeds \$2,000, then the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act applies.

The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will
be responsible for proper administration and enforcement of the Federal
labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act. The proper Davis-Bacon
wage determination will be issued by the ordering activity at the time a
request for quotations is made for applicable construction classified
installation, deinstallation, and reinstallation services under SIN
132-8.

**23. SECTION 508 COMPLIANCE.**

If applicable, Section 508 compliance information on the supplies and
services in this contract are available in Electronic and Information
Technology (EIT) at the following:

*\*\*NOTE: Contractor should insert the contractor's website or other
location where full details can be found.\*\**

The EIT standard can be found at:

**24. PRIME CONTRACTOR ORDERING FROM FEDERAL SUPPLY SCHEDULES.**

Prime Contractors (on cost reimbursement contracts) placing orders under
Federal Supply Schedules, on behalf of an ordering activity, shall
follow the terms of the applicable schedule and authorization and
include with each order --

> \(a\) A copy of the authorization from the ordering activity with whom
> the contractor has the prime contract (unless a copy was previously
> furnished to the Federal Supply Schedule contractor); and
>
> \(b\) The following statement:
>
> This order is placed under written authorization from \_\_\_\_\_\_\_
> dated \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. In the event of any inconsistency between the
> terms and conditions of this order and those of your Federal Supply
> Schedule contract, the latter will govern.

**25. INSURANCE---WORK ON A GOVERNMENT INSTALLATION (JAN 1997)(FAR
52.228-5)**

\(a\) The Contractor shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain
during the entire performance of this contract, at least the kinds and
minimum amounts of insurance required in the Schedule or elsewhere in

be effective---

> \(1\) For such period as the laws of the State in which this contract
> is to be performed prescribe; or
>
> \(2\) Until 30 days after the insurer or the Contractor gives written

# TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO LEASING OF GENERAL PURPOSE COMMERCIAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS (SPECIAL ITEM NUMBER 132‑3)

> *\*\*NOTE: Under SIN 132-3 Leasing of Products, there are two sets of
> terms and conditions. Option 1 does not contain a cancellation clause
> and all leases automatically expire on September 30^th^ or sooner.
> Option 2 contains a cancellation clause, in which the fee must be in
> accordance with applicable legal principles. You may offer either
> option or both options.\*\**
>
> **LEASE TYPES**
>
> The ordering activity will consider proposals for the following lease
> types:
>
> a\. Lease to Ownership,\
> b. Lease with Option to Own, and\
> c. Step Lease.
>
> Orders for leased products must specify the leasing type.
>
> **OPTION 1:**
>
> **1. STATEMENT**
>
> a\. It is understood by all parties to this contract that orders
> issued under this SIN shall constitute a lease arrangement. Unless the
> ordering activity intends to obligate other than annual appropriations
> to fund the lease, the base period of the lease is from the date of
> the product acceptance through September 30 of the fiscal year in
> which the order is placed.
>
> b\. Agencies are advised to follow the guidance provided in Federal
> Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 7.4 Product Lease or Purchase and
> OMB Circular A-11. Agencies are responsible for the obligation of
> funding consistent with all applicable legal principles when entering
> into any lease arrangement.
>
> **2. FUNDING AND PERIODS OF LEASING ARRANGEMENTS**
>
> a\. Annual Funding. When annually appropriated funds are cited on an
> order for leasing, the following applies:
>
> \(1\) The base period of an order for any lease executed by the
> ordering activity shall be for the duration of the fiscal year. All
> ordering activity renewal options under the lease shall be specified
> in the delivery order. All orders for leasing shall remain in effect
> through September 30 of the fiscal year or the planned expiration date
> of the lease, whichever is earlier, unless the ordering activity
> exercises its rights hereunder to acquire title to the product prior
> to the planned expiration date or unless the ordering activity
> exercise its right to terminate under FAR 52.212-4. Orders under the
> lease shall not be deemed to obligate succeeding fiscal year's funds
> or to otherwise commit the ordering activity to a renewal.

(2) All orders for leasing shall automatically terminate on September
    > 30, unless the ordering activity notifies the Contractor in
    > writing thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of such
    > orders of the ordering activity's intent to renew. Such notice to
    > renew shall not bind the ordering activity. The ordering activity
    > has the option to renew each year at the original rate in effect
    > at the time the order is placed. This rate applies for the
    > duration of the order. If the ordering activity exercises its
    > option to renew, the renewal order, shall be issued within 15 days
    > after funds become available for obligation by the ordering
    > activity, or as specified in the initial order. No termination
    > fees shall apply if the ordering activity does not exercise an
    > option.

> b\. Crossing Fiscal Years Within Contract Period. Where an ordering
> activity has specific authority to cross fiscal years with annual
> appropriations, the ordering activity may place an order under this
> option to lease product for a period up to the expiration of its
> period of appropriation availability, or twelve months, whichever
> occurs later, notwithstanding the intervening fiscal years.
>
> **3. DISCONTINUANCE AND TERMINATION**
>
> Notwithstanding any other provision relating to this SIN, the ordering
> activity may terminate products leased under this agreement, at any
> time during a fiscal year in accordance with the termination
> provisions contained in FAR 52.212-4. (l) Termination for the ordering
> activity's convenience, or (m) Termination for cause. Additionally, no
> termination for cost or fees shall be charged for non-renewal of an
> option.
>
> \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
>
> **OPTION 2**
>
> To the extent an Offeror wishes to propose alternative lease terms and
> conditions that provide for lower discounts/prices based on the
> ordering activity's stated intent to fulfill the projected term of a
> lease including option years, while at the same time including
> separate charges for early end of the lease, the following terms
> apply. These terms address the timing and extent of the ordering
> activity's financial obligation including any potential charges for
> early end of the lease.
>
> **1. LEASING PRICE LIST NOTICE:**
>
> Contractors must include the following notice in their contract price
> list for SIN 132-3:
>
> "The ordering activity is responsible for the obligation of funds
> consistent with applicable law. Agencies are advised to review the
> lease terms and conditions contained in this price list prior to
> ordering and obligating funding for a lease."
>
> **2. STATEMENT OF ORDERING ACTIVITY INTENT:**
>
> \(a\) The ordering activity and the Contractor understand that a
> delivery order issued pursuant to this SIN is a lease arrangement and
> contemplates the use of the product for the term of the lease
> specified in such delivery order (the "Lease Term"). In that regard,
> the ordering Activity, as lessee, understands that the lease
> provisions contained herein and the rate established for the delivery
> order are premised on the ordering Activity\'s intent to fulfill that
> agreement, including acquiring products for the period of time
> specified in the order. Each lease hereunder shall be initiated by a
> delivery order which shall, either through a statement of work or
> other attachment, specify the product being leased, and the required
> terms of the transaction.
>
> \(b\) Each ordering activity placing a delivery order under the terms
> of this option intends to exercise each renewal option and to extend
> the lease until completion of the Lease Term so long as the need of
> the ordering activity for the product or functionally similar product
> continues to exist and funds are appropriated. Contractor may request
> information from the ordering activity concerning the essential use of
> the products.
>
> **3. LEASE TERM:**
>
> \(a\) The date on which the ordering activity accepts the products is
> the Commencement Date of the lease. For acceptance to occur, the
> products must operate in accordance with the product's published
> specifications and statement of work. Acceptance shall be in
> accordance with the terms of the contract or as otherwise negotiated
> by the ordering activity and the Contractor.
>
> \(b\) Any lease is executed by the ordering activity on the basis that
> the known requirement for such product exceeds the initial base period
> of the delivery order, which is typically 12 months, or for the
> remainder of the fiscal year. Pursuant to FAR 32.703‑3(b), delivery
> orders with options to renew that are funded by annual (fiscal year)
> appropriations may provide for initial base periods and option periods
> that cross fiscal years as long as the initial base period or each
> option period does not exceed a 12 month period. Defense agencies must
> also consider DOD FAR supplement (DFAR) 232.703-3(b) in determining
> whether to use cross fiscal year funding. This cross fiscal year
> authority does not apply to multi-year leases.
>
> \(c\) The total Lease Term will be specified in each delivery order,
> including any relevant renewal options of the ordering activity. All
> delivery orders, whether for the initial base period or renewal
> period, shall remain in effect through September 30 of the fiscal year
> (unless extended by statute), through any earlier expiration date
> specified in the delivery order, or until the ordering activity
> exercises its rights hereunder to acquire title to the product prior
> to such expiration date. The ordering activity, at its discretion, may
> exercise each option to extend the term of the lease through the lease
> term. Renewal delivery orders shall not be issued for less than all of
> the product and/or software set forth in the original delivery
> order**.** Delivery orders under this SIN shall not be deemed to
> obligate succeeding fiscal year funds. The ordering activity shall
> provide the Contractor with written notice of exercise of each renewal
> option as soon as practicable. Notice requirements may be negotiated
> on an order-by-order basis.

(d) Where an ordering activity's specific appropriation or procurement
    > authority provides for contracting beyond the fiscal year period,
    > the ordering activity may place a delivery order for a period up
    > to the expiration of the Lease Term, or to the expiration of the
    > period of availability of the multi-year appropriation, or
    > whatever is appropriate under the applicable circumstance.

> **4. LEASE TERMINATION:**
>
> \(a\) The ordering activity must elect the Lease Term of the relevant
> delivery order. The Contractor (and assignee, if any) will rely on the
> ordering activity's representation of its intent to fulfill the full
> Lease Term to determine the monthly lease payments calculated herein.
>
> \(i\) The ordering activity may terminate or not renew leases under
> this option at no cost, pursuant to a Termination for
> Non-Appropriation as defined herein (see paragraph (c) below). In any
> other event, the ordering activity's contracting officer may either
> terminate the relevant delivery order for cause or Termination for
> Convenience in accordance with FAR 52.212-4 paragraphs (l) and (m).
>
> \(ii\) The Termination for Convenience at the end of a fiscal year
> allows for separate charges for the early end of the lease (see
> paragraph (d) below). In the event of termination for the convenience
> of the ordering activity, the ordering activity may be liable only up
> to the amount beyond the order's Termination Ceiling. Any termination
> charges calculated under the Termination for Convenience clause must
> be determined or identified in the delivery order or in the lease
> agreement.
>
> \(b\) Termination for Convenience of the Ordering Activity**:** Leases
> entered into under this option may not be terminated except by the
> ordering activity's contracting office responsible for the delivery
> order in accordance with FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and
> Conditions-Commercial Items, paragraph (l), *Termination for
> Convenience of the ordering activity.* The costs charged to the
> ordering activity as the result of any Termination for Convenience of
> the ordering activity must be reasonable and may not exceed the sum of
> the fiscal year's payment obligations less payments made to date of
> termination plus the Termination Ceiling
>
> \(c\) Termination for Non-Appropriation: The ordering activity
> reasonably believes that the bona fide need will exist for the entire
> Lease Term and corresponding funds in an amount sufficient to make all
> payment for the lease Term will be available to the ordering activity.
> Therefore, it is unlikely that leases entered into under this option
> will terminate prior to the full Lease Term. Nevertheless, the
> ordering activity's contracting officer may terminate or not renew
> leases at the end of any initial base period or option period under
> this paragraph if (a) it no longer has a bona fide need for the
> product or functionally similar product; or (b) there is a continuing
> need, but adequate funds have not been made available to the ordering
> activity in an amount sufficient to continue to make the lease
> payments. If this occurs, the ordering activity will promptly notify
> the Contractor, and the product lease will be terminated at the end of
> the last fiscal year for which funds were appropriated. Substantiation
> to support a termination for non-appropriation shall be provided to
> the Contractor upon request.
>
> \(d\) Termination Charges: At the initiation of the lease, termination
> ceilings will be established for each year of the lease term. The
> termination ceiling is a limit on the amount that a Contractor may be
> paid by the ordering activity on the Termination for Convenience of a
> lease. No claim will be accepted for future costs: supplies,
> maintenance, usage charges or interest expense beyond the date of
> termination. In accordance with the bona fide needs rule, all
> termination charges must reasonably represent the value the ordering
> activity received for the work performed based upon the shorter lease
> term. No Termination for Convenience costs will be associated with the
> expiration of the lease term.
>
> \(e\) At the order level, the ordering activity may, consistent with
> legal principles, negotiate lower monthly payments or rates based upon
> appropriate changes to the termination conditions in this section.
>

LEASE PROVISIONS COMMON TO\
ALL TYPES OF LEASE AGREEMENTS

\*\* The following terms and conditions are applicable to any lease
awarded under this contract regardless of type or option.\*\*

> **1. ORDERING PROCEDURES:**
>
> \(a\) When an ordering activity expresses an interest in leasing a
> product(s), the ordering activity will provide the following
> information to the prospective Contractor:
>
> \(i\) Which product(s) is (are) required.\
> (ii) The required delivery date.\
> (iii) The proposed lease plan and term of the lease.\
> (iv) Where the product will be located.\
> (v) Description of the intended use of the product.\
> (vi) Source and type of appropriations to be used.
>
> \(b\) The Contractor will respond with:
>
> \(i\) Whether the Contractor can provide the required product.\
> (ii) The estimated residual value of the product (Lease with Option to
> Own and Step Lease only).\
> (iii) The monthly payment based on the rate.\
> (iv) The estimated cost, if any, of applicable State or local taxes.
> State and local personal property taxes are to be estimated as
> separate line items in accordance with FAR 52.229-1, which may be
> identified and added to the monthly lease payment.\
> (v) A confirmation of the availability of the product on the required
> delivery date.\
> (vi) Extent of warranty coverage, if any, of the leased products.\
> (vii) The length of time the quote is valid.
>
> \(c\) The ordering activity may issue a delivery order to the
> Contractor based on the information set forth in the Contractor's
> quote. In the event that the ordering activity does not issued a
> delivery order within the validity period stated in the Contractor's
> quote letter, the quote shall expire.
>
> **2. ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS:**
>
> GSAR 552.232-23, Assignment of Claims, is incorporated herein by
> reference as part of these lease provisions. The ordering activity's
> contracting officer will acknowledge the assignment of claim for a
> lease in accordance with FAR 32.804-5. The extent of the assignee's
> protection is in accordance with FAR 32.804. Any setoff provision must
> be in accordance with FAR 32.803.
>
> **3. PEACEFUL POSSESSION AND UNRESTRICTED USE:**
>
> In recognition of the types of products available for lease and the
> potential adverse impact to the ordering activity's mission, the
> ordering activity's quiet and peaceful possession and unrestricted use
> of the product shall not be disturbed in the event the product is sold
> by the Contractor, or in the event of bankruptcy of the Contractor,
> corporate dissolution of the Contractor, or other event. The product
> shall remain in the possession of the ordering activity until the
> expiration of the lease. Any assignment, sale, bankruptcy, or other
> transfer of the leased product by the Contractor will not relieve the
> Contractor of its obligations to the ordering activity, and will not
> change the ordering activity's duties or increase the burdens or risks
> imposed on the ordering activity.
>
> 4\. COMMENCEMENT OF LEASE:
>
> The date on which the ordering activity accepts the products is the
> Commencement Date of the lease. Acceptance is as defined elsewhere in
> the contract, or as further specified in the order.
>
> **5. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE:**
>
> a\. Installation and Maintenance, when applicable, normally are not
> included in the charge for leasing. The Contractor may require the
> ordering activity to obtain installation and maintenance services from
> a qualified source. The ordering activity may obtain installation
> and/or maintenance on the open market, from the Contractor's schedule
> contract, or from other sources. The ordering activity may also
> perform installation and/or maintenance in house, if qualified
> resources exist. In any event, it is the responsibility of the
> ordering activity to ensure that maintenance is in effect for the
> Lease term for all products leased.
>
> b\. When installation and/or maintenance are ordered under this
> schedule to be performed by the Contractor, the payments, terms and
> conditions as stated in this contract apply. The rates and terms and
> conditions in effect at the time the order is issued shall apply
> during any subsequent renewal period of the lease. The maintenance
> rates and terms and conditions may be added to the lease payments with
> mutual agreement of the parties.
>
> **6. MONTHLY PAYMENTS:**
>
> a\. Prior to the placement of an order under this Special Item Number,
> the ordering activity and the Contractor must agree on a "base value"
> for the products to be leased. For Lease to Ownership (Capital Lease)
> the base value will be the contract purchase price (less any
> discounts). For Lease with Option to Own (Operating Lease), the base
> value will be the contract purchase price (less any discounts), less a
> mutually agreed upon residual value (pre-stated purchase option price
> at the conclusion of the lease) for the products. The residual value
> will be used in the calculation of the original lease payment, lease
> extension payments, and the purchase option price.
>
> b\. To determine the initial lease term payment, the Contractor agrees
> to apply the negotiated lease factor to the agreed upon base value:
> \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
>
> For Example: Lease factor one (1) percent over the rate for the three
> year (or other term) Treasury Bill (T-bill) at the most current U. S.
> Treasury auction.
>
> The lease payment may be calculated by using a programmed business
> calculator or by using "rate" functions provided in commercial
> computer spreadsheets (e.g., Lotus 1-2-3, Excel).
>
> c\. For any lease extension, the extension lease payment will be based
> on the original residual value, in lieu of the purchase price. The
> ordering activity and the Contractor shall agree on a new residual
> value based on the estimated fair market price at the end of the
> extension. The formula to determine the lease payment will be that in
> 6.b. above.
>
> d\. The purchase option price will be the fair market value of the
> product or payment will be based upon the unamortized principle, as
> shown on the payment schedule as of the last payment prior to date of
> transfer of ownership, whichever is less.
>
> NOTE: At the order level, ordering activity may elect to obtain a
> lower rate for the lease by setting the purchase option price as
> either, the fair market value of the product or unamoritized
> principle. The methodology for determining lump sum payments may be
> identified in the pricelist.
>
> e\. The point in time when monthly rates are established is subject to
> negotiation and evaluation at the order level.
>
> In the event the ordering activity desires, at any time, to acquire
> title to product leased hereunder, the ordering activity may make a
> one‑time lump sum payment.
>
> **7. LEASE END/DISCONTINUANCE OPTIONS:**
>
> a\. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, Termination for
> Convenience, or Termination for Non­Appropriation, the ordering
> activity will return the Product to the Contractor unless the ordering
> activity by 30 days written notice elects either:
>
> \(i\) to purchase the product for the residual value of the product,
> or
>
> \(ii\) to extend the term of the Lease, as mutually agreed. To compute
> the lease payment, the residual value from the preceding lease shall
> be the initial value of the leased product. A new residual value shall
> be negotiated for the extended lease and new lease payments shall be
> computed.

> b\. Relocation - The ordering activity may relocate products to
> another location within the ordering activity with prior written
> notice. No other transfer, including sublease, is permitted. ordering
> activity shall not assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any
> products, or any interest therein, or crate or suffer any levy, lien
> or encumbrance then except those created for the benefit of Contractor
> or it\'s assigns.

> c\. Returns:

> > \(i\) Within fourteen (14) days after the date of expiration,
> > non-renewal or termination of a lease, the ordering activity shall,
> > at its own risk and expense, have the products packed for shipment
> > in accordance with manufacturer\'s specifications and return the
> > products to Contractor at the location specified by Contractor in
> > the continental US, in the same condition as when delivered,
> > ordinary wear and tear excepted. Any expenses necessary to return
> > the products to good working order shall be at ordering activity\'s
> > expense.
>
> > \(ii\) The Contractor shall conduct a timely inspection of the
> > returned products and within 45 days of the return, assert a claim
> > if the condition of the product exceeds normal wear and tear.
>
> > \(iii\) Product will be returned in accordance with the terms of the
> > contract and in accordance with Contractor instruction.
>
> > \(iv\) With respect to software, the ordering activity shall state
> > in writing to the Contractor that it has:
>
> > \(1\) deleted or disabled all files and copies of the software from
> > the equipment on which it was installed;\
> > (2) returned all software documentation, training manuals, and
> > physical media on which the software was delivered; and\
> > (3) has no ability to use the returned software.
>
> **8. UPGRADES AND ADDITIONS:**
>
> a\. The ordering activity may affix or install any accessory,
> addition, upgrade, product or device on the product (\"additions\")
> provided that such additions:
>
> \(1\) can be removed without causing material damage to the product;
>
> \(2\) do not reduce the value of the product; and

INCLUSION IN THE CONTRACT.\*\*

b.  **INSTALLATION, DEINSTALLATION, REINSTALLATION.** The Davis-Bacon
    Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of
    \$2,000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a
    party for construction, alteration, or repair (including painting
    and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United
    States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed
    directly upon the site of the work shall received less than the
    prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The
    requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act do not apply if the construction
    work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or
    services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple
    installation or alteration of a public building or public work that
    is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply
    contract. However, if the construction, alteration or repair is
    segregable and exceeds \$2,000, then the requirements of the
    Davis-Bacon Act applies.

The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will
be responsible for proper administration and enforcement of the Federal
labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act. The proper Davis-Bacon
wage determination will be issued by the ordering activity at the time a
request for quotations is made for applicable construction classified
installation, deinstallation, and reinstallation services under SIN
132-8.

> have been discovered; and (2) before any substantial change occurs in
> the condition of the item, unless the change is due to the defect in
> the item.
>
> **6. WARRANTY**

> did not participate in the acquisition of the software. Further, the
> software may be used on a sharing basis where multiple agencies have
> joint projects that can be satisfied by the use of the software placed
> at one ordering activity\'s site. This would allow other agencies
> access to one ordering activity\'s database. For ordering activity
> public domain databases, user agencies and third parties may use the
> computer program to enter, retrieve, analyze and present data. The
> user ordering activity will take appropriate action by instruction,
> agreement, or otherwise, to protect the Contractor\'s proprietary
> property with any third parties that are permitted access to the
> computer programs and documentation in connection with the user
> ordering activity\'s permitted use of the computer programs and
> documentation. For purposes of this section, all such permitted third
> parties shall be deemed agents of the user ordering activity.

> not include prime Contractors, subcontractors and agents of the
> ordering activity who have the ordering activity\'s permission to use
> the licensed software and documentation at the facility, and who have
> agreed to use the licensed software and documentation only in
> accordance with these restrictions. This provision does not limit the
> right of the ordering activity to use software, documentation, or
> information therein, which the ordering activity may already have or
> obtains without restrictions.
>
> \(4\) The ordering activity shall have the right to use the computer
> software and documentation with the computer for which it is acquired
> at any other facility to which that computer may be transferred, or in
> cases of disaster recovery, the ordering activity has the right to
> transfer the software to another site if the ordering activity site
> for which it is acquired is deemed to be unsafe for ordering activity
> personnel; to use the computer software and documentation with a
> backup computer when the primary computer is inoperative; to copy
> computer programs for safekeeping (archives) or backup purposes; to
> transfer a copy of the software to another site for purposes of
> benchmarking new hardware and/or software; and to modify the software
> and documentation or combine it with other software, provided that the
> unmodified portions shall remain subject to these restrictions.
>
> \(5\) \"Commercial Computer Software\" may be marked with the
> Contractor\'s standard commercial restricted rights legend, but the
> schedule contract and schedule pricelist, including this clause,
> \"Utilization Limitations\" are the only governing terms and

> purchase the earlier version. Under a term license (132‑32),
> conversion credits which accrued while the earlier version was under a
> term license shall carry forward and remain available as conversion
> credits which may be applied towards the perpetual license price of
> the new version.
>
> **10. DESCRIPTIONS AND EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY**
>
> The Contractor shall include, in the schedule pricelist, a complete
> description of each software product and a list of equipment on which

# TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO AUTHENTICATION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES (SPECIAL ITEM NUMBER 132‑60; SPECIAL ITEM NUMBER 132-61; AND SPECIAL ITEM NUMBER 132-62)

**AUTHENTICATION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES (MAY 2006) (C-FCI-007)**

**A. General Background.**

Authentication Products and Services provide for authentication of
individuals for purposes of physical and logical access control,
electronic signature, performance of E-business transactions and
delivery of Government services. Authentication Products and Services
consist of hardware, software components and supporting services that
provide for identity assurance.

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), "Policy for a
Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors"
establishes the requirement for a mandatory Government-wide standard for
secure and reliable forms of identification issued by the Federal
Government to its employees and contractor employees assigned to
Government contracts in order to enhance security, increase Government
efficiency, reduce identity fraud, and protect personal privacy.
Further, the Directive requires the Department of Commerce to promulgate
a Federal standard for secure and reliable forms of identification
within six months of the date of the Directive. As a result, the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201: Personal Identity
Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors on February 25, 2005.
FIPS 201 requires that the digital certificates incorporated into the
Personal Identity Verification (PIV) identity credentials comply with
the X.509 Certificate Policy for the U.S. Federal PKI Common Policy
Framework. In addition, FIPS 201 requires that Federal identity badges
referred to as PIV credentials, issued to Federal employees and
contractors comply with the Standard and associated NIST Special
Publications 800-73, 800-76, 800-78, and 800-79.

B.  Special Item Numbers.

The General Services Administration has established the E-Authentication
Initiative (see URL: <http://cio.gov/eauthentication>) to provide common
infrastructure for the authentication of the public and internal federal
users for logical access to Federal E-Government applications and
electronic services. To support the government-wide implementation of
HSPD-12 and the Federal E-Authentication Initiative, GSA is establishing
the following Special Item Numbers (SINs):

-   [SIN 132-60: Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES)
    Program]{.underline}. This program provides identity management and
    authentication services and ACES digital certificates for use
    primarily by external end users to access Federal Government
    electronic services and transactions in accordance with the X.509
    Certificate Policy for the Federal ACES Program.

-   [SIN 132-61: PKI Shared Service Providers (PKI SSP)
    Program.]{.underline} This program provides PKI services and digital
    certificates for use by Federal employees and contractors to the
    Federal Government in accordance with the X.509 Certificate Policy
    for the U.S. Federal PKI Common Policy Framework.

-   [SIN 132-62: HSPD-12 Product and Service Components.]{.underline}
    SIN 132-62 is established for products and services for agencies to
    implement the requirements of HSPD-12, FIPS-201 and associated NIST
    special publications. The HSPD-12 implementation components
    specified under this SIN are:

    -   PIV enrollment and registration services,

    -   PIV systems infrastructure,

    -   PIV card management and production services,

    -   PIV card finalization services,

    -   Physical access control products and services,

    -   Logical access control products and services,

    -   PIV system integration services, and

    -   Approved FIPS 201-Compliant products and services.

**C. Qualification Information.**

All of the products and services for the SINs listed above must be
qualified as being compliant with Government-wide requirements before
they will be included on a GSA Information Technology (IT) Schedule
contract. The Qualification Requirements and associated evaluation
procedures against the Qualification Requirements for each SIN and the
specific Qualification Requirements for HSPD-12 implementation
components are presented at the following URL:
http//:www.idmanagement.gov.

In addition, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
has established the NIST Personal Identity Verification Program (NPIVP)
to evaluate integrated circuit chip cards and products against
conformance requirements contained in FIPS 201. GSA has established the
FIPS 201Evaluation Program to evaluate other products needed for agency
implementation of HSPD-12 requirements where normative requirements are
specified in FIPS 201 and to perform card and reader interface testing
for interoperability. Products that are approved as FIPS-201 compliant
through these evaluation and testing programs may be offered directly
through SIN 132-62 under the category "Approved FIPS 201-Compliant
Products and services.

**D. Qualification Requirements.**

Offerors proposing products and services under Special Item Numbers
(SINs) 132-60, 132-61 and 132-62 are required to provide the following:

> 1\. Proposed items must be determined to be compliant with Federal

> procedures in qualifying offeror's products and services against the
> Qualification Requirements for applicable to SIN. Offerors are
> encouraged to submit a proposal under the Multiple Award Schedule
> (MAS) Information Technology (IT) solicitation at the same time they
> submits products and services to be qualified. Award for SINs132-60,
> 132-61 and 132-62 will be dependent upon receipt of official
> documentation from the Acquisition Program Management Office (APMO)

intended to replace any existing corporate plan which may be more
extensive. If assistance is needed to locate small business sources,
contact the Office of Enterprise Development at 18^th^ and F Streets,
NW, Washington, DC 20405 (Phone: (202) 501-1021 or Fax (202) 208-5938.)\

> **II. TYPE OF PLAN: (Check only one)**
>
> \_\_\_\_\_\_ [COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS PLAN]{.underline}: Used when the
> company sells large quantities of commercial off-the-shelf commodities
> to many Government agencies. Goals are negotiated on a company-wide
> basis. Plan is done annually, effective during the company's fiscal
> year, approved by the first Federal agency awarding a contract for
> commercial products during the contractor's fiscal year, and is
> applicable to every additional Federal contract for commercial
> products awarded to that contractor during the contractor's same
> fiscal year. A new plan must be obtained and approved 30 days prior to
> the expiration of the current plan.
>
> \_\_\_\_\_\_ [INDIVIDUAL CONTRACT PLAN]{.underline}: Covers the entire
> contract period (including option periods), applies to a specific
> contract, and has goals which are based on the company's planned
> subcontracting and purchasing in support of the performance of a
> specific contract, except that indirect costs incurred for common or
> joint purposes may be allocated on a prorated basis to the contract.
>
> \_\_\_\_\_\_ [INDIVIDUAL CONTRACT PLAN INCORPORATING MASTER
> PLAN]{.underline}: Master plans containing all the required elements
> of an individual contract plan, except goals, may be incorporated into
> individual contract plans providing the master plan has been approved.
> A master plan must be approved once every three years. Once
> incorporated into a contract with specific goals, it is valid for the
> life of the contract.
>
> **III. GOALS:**
>
> A. *(For information purposes only. FAR 19.704(a)(1) requires separate

> statement of the total dollars planned to be subcontracted to small,
> hubzone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned small, veteran-owned
> small, and service-disabled veteran-owned small, and OTHER business
> concerns. NOTE: The dollar amounts planned for subcontracting to SB,
> to HZSB, to SDB, to WOSB, to VOSB, to SDVOSB, and to OTHER small
> business concerns must be expressed as percentages of the total
> subcontracting dollars as shown below.) Commercial plans will always
> reflect annual goals. Individual plans will reflect 5-year goals for
> Base and Option.*
>
> \[**Company XXX**\] provides the following separate dollar and
> percentage goals for small, hubzone small, small disadvantaged,
> women-owned small, veteran-owned small, service-disabled veteran-owned
> small, and OTHER small business concerns. These goals are a percentage
> of the total subcontracting dollars:

# HOW TO CALCULATE SUBCONTRACTING GOALS

-   Goals must be stated in both dollars (\$) and percents (%).

-   The contractor must state the total subcontracting dollars, **then**
    state separately the total dollars that will be subcontracted to (l)
    large business, (2) small business, (3) HUBZone small business, (4)
    small disadvantaged business, (5) women-owned small business
    concerns, (6) veteran-owned small, (7) service-disabled
    veteran-owned small, and (8) OTHER small business concerns.

-   The small business dollar amount must include the HUBzone small,
    small disadvantaged, women-owned small, veteran-owned small,
    service-disabled veteran-owned small, and OTHER small dollar
    amounts.

-   The dollar amounts planned for subcontracting to small, HUBZone
    small, small disadvantaged, women-owned small, veteran-owned small,
    service-disabled veteran-owned small, and OTHER small business
    concerns must be expressed in the subcontracting plan as percentages
    of the total subcontracting dollars.

**EXAMPLE ONLY:**

**[Dollars]{.underline} [Percentage]{.underline}**

[Total dollars to be subcontracted]{.underline} \$100,000 100%

*(to large and small business, including HUBZone small, small
disadvantaged, women-owned small, veteran-owned small, service-disabled
veteran-owned small, and OTHER small business concerns)*

[To Large business]{.underline} \$77,000 77%

[To Small business]{.underline} \$23,000 23%

(includes HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned small,
veteran-owned small, service-disabled veteran-owned small, and OTHER
small business concerns)

[To HUBZone Small business]{.underline} \$3,000 3%

> [To Small Disadvantaged business]{.underline} \$5,000 5%

[To Women-owned Small business]{.underline} \$5,000 5%

[To Veteran-owned Small business (\$2,000)\
(includes SDVOSB in this total)]{.underline} \$5,000 5%

To OTHER small business \$5,000 5%

> (Note that of the \$23,000 to ALL SMALL, 18% is going to the
> sub-groups (hubzone small, sdb, wosb, vosb, and sdvosb), and the
> remaining 5% is going to the OTHER small.
