(a) The use in this solicitation or contract of any Federal Acquisition
    Regulation (48 CFR Chapter 1) clause with an authorized deviation is
    indicated by the addition of "(DEVIATION)" after the date of the
    clause.

The use in this solicitation or contract of any DOSAR (CFR 48 Ch.6)
clause with an authorized deviation is indicated by the addition of
"(DEVIATION)" after the name of the regulation.

The following DOSAR clauses are provided in full text:

652.237-72 OBSERVANCE OF LEGAL HOLIDAYS AND ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE (APR
2004)

\(a\) The Department of State observes the following days as holidays:

New Year's Day

Martin Luther King's Birthday

Washington's Birthday

Memorial Day

Independence Day

Labor Day

Columbus Day

Veterans Day

Thanksgiving Day

Christmas Day

Any other day designated by Federal law, Executive Order, or
Presidential Proclamation.

\(b\) When any such day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following
Monday is observed. Observance of such days by Government personnel
shall not be cause for additional period of performance or entitlement
to compensation except as set forth in the contract. If the contractor's
personnel work on a holiday, no form of holiday or other premium
compensation will be reimbursed either as a direct or indirect cost,
unless authorized pursuant to an overtime clause elsewhere in this
contract.

\(c\) When the Department of State grants administrative leave to its
Government employees, assigned contractor personnel in Government
facilities shall also be dismissed. However, the contractor agrees to
continue to provide sufficient personnel to perform round-the-clock
requirements of critical tasks already in operation or scheduled, and
shall be guided by the instructions issued by the contracting officer or
his/her duly authorized representative.

\(d\) For fixed-price contracts, if services are not required or
provided because the building is closed due to inclement weather,
unanticipated holidays declared by the President, failure of Congress to
appropriate funds, or similar reasons, deductions will be computed as
follows:

\(1\) The deduction rate in dollars per day will be equal to the per
month contract price divided by 21 days per month.

\(2\) The deduction rate in dollars per day will be multiplied by the
number of days services are not required or provided.

If services are provided for portions of days, appropriate adjustment
will be made by the contracting officer to ensure that the contractor is
compensated for services provided.

\(e\) If administrative leave is granted to contractor personnel as a
result of conditions stipulated in any "Excusable Delays" clause of this
contract, it will be without loss to the contractor. The cost of
salaries and wages to the contractor for the period of any such excused
absence shall be a reimbursable item of direct cost hereunder for
employees whose regular time is normally charged, and a reimbursable
item of indirect cost for employees whose time is normally charged
indirectly in accordance with the contractor's accounting policy.

652.242-70 CONTRACTING OFFICER\'S REPRESENTATIVE (COR) (AUG 1999)

so delegated; provided, that the designee shall not change the terms or
conditions of the contract, unless the COR is a warranted Contracting

652.225-71 SECTION 8(A) OF THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACT OF 1979, AS
AMENDED (AUG 1999)

\(a\) Section 8(a) of the U.S. Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended (50 U.S.C. 2407(a)), prohibits compliance by U.S. persons with
any boycott fostered by a foreign country against a country which is
friendly to the United States and which is not itself the object of any
form of boycott pursuant to United States law or regulation. The Boycott
of Israel by Arab League countries is such a boycott, and therefore, the
following actions, if taken with intent to comply with, further, or
support the Arab League Boycott of Israel, are prohibited activities
under the Export Administration Act:

\(1\) Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to do business
with or in Israel, with any Israeli business concern, or with any
national or resident of Israel, or with any other person, pursuant to an
agreement of, or a request from or on behalf of a boycotting country;

national origin of any U.S. person or of any owner, officer, director,
or employee of such U.S. person;

\(4\) Furnishing information about whether any person has, has had, or
proposes to have any business relationship (including a relationship by
way of sale, purchase, legal or commercial representation, shipping or
other transport, insurance, investment, or supply) with or in the State
of Israel, with any business concern organized under the laws of the
State of Israel, with any Israeli national or resident, or with any
person which is known or believed to be restricted from having any
business relationship with or in Israel;

\(5\) Furnishing information about whether any person is a member of,
has made contributions to, or is otherwise associated with or involved
in the activities of any charitable or fraternal organization which
supports the State of Israel; and,

\(6\) Paying, honoring, confirming, or otherwise implementing a letter
of credit which contains any condition or requirement against doing
business with the State of Israel.

\(b\) Under Section 8(a), the following types of activities are not
forbidden \`\`compliance with the boycott,\'\' and are therefore
exempted from Section 8(a)\'s prohibitions listed in paragraphs
(a)(1)-(6) above:

> (i) Prohibiting the import of goods or services from Israel or goods
> produced or services provided by any business concern organized under

\(2\) Complying or agreeing to comply with import and shipping document
requirements with respect to the country of origin, the name of the
carrier and route of shipment, the name of the supplier of the shipment
or the name of the provider of other services, except that no

Requirements may be stated in negative, blacklisting, or similar
exclusionary terms, other than with respect to carriers or route of
shipments as may be permitted by such regulations in order to comply
with precautionary requirements protecting against war risks and
confiscation;

\(3\) Complying or agreeing to comply in the normal course of business
with the unilateral and specific selection by a boycotting country, or
national or resident thereof, of carriers, insurance, suppliers of
services to be performed within the boycotting country or specific goods
which, in the normal course of business, are identifiable by source when
imported into the boycotting country;

\(4\) Complying or agreeing to comply with the export requirements of
the boycotting country relating to shipments or transshipments of
exports to Israel, to any business concern of or organized under the
laws of Israel, or to any national or resident of Israel;

\(5\) Compliance by an individual or agreement by an individual to
comply with the immigration or passport requirements of any country with
respect to such individual or any member of such individual\'s family or
with requests for information regarding requirements of employment of
such individual within the boycotting country; and,

\(6\) Compliance by a U.S. person resident in a foreign country or
agreement by such person to comply with the laws of that country with
respect to his or her activities exclusively therein, and such
regulations may contain exceptions for such resident complying with the

country of trademarked, trade named, or similarly specifically
identifiable products, or components of products for his or her own use,
including the performance of contractual services within that country,
