**Instructions/Guidance to Contracting Officers for Model Solicitation
and Contract for Pest Control Services for Contracts Awarded Outside of
the United States**

***THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT TO BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE
SOLICITATION/CONTRACT/PUCHASE ORDERDOCUMENT***

[General]{.underline}:

1\. The Contracting Officer (CO) [MUST]{.underline} mark any clause
which is modified at post with a double asterisk (\*\*), unless the
instructions for that clause in the model expressly state that post
should modify the clause to reflect post specifics.

2\. The rationale for this modification [MUST]{.underline} be included
in the memo requesting review from A/OPE.

3\. Delete asterisk from document before issuing the solicitation.

A. [Simplified Acquisition]{.underline}

[Background]{.underline}. This model is for pest control services**.**
It is structured as an indefinite quantity type contract with fixed
hourly rates. Post can then use this contract for multiple "treatments"
as opposed to a single job. If post prefers to award a separate purchase
order each time these services are required, then use the pest-po model.

B. [Formal Contracts:]{.underline}

[General]{.underline}:

1.  If the requirement is less than \$100,000 per year, but you prefer a
    procurement under which you can issue task orders as these services
    are required, then prepare an RFQ and a Purchase Order instead of a
    contract. You will find that many of the clauses contained in
    Sections B through H will still be required. You then need to attach
    the purchase order clauses from the pest-po model, adding to I.2,
    I.3 and I.4 from this model.

2.  The specifications and exhibits in this model were prepared in close
    coordination with FBO (A/FBO/OPS/SAF). Post must contact FBO if they
    intend to make ANY changes to Exhibits 1, 2 or 3 and any substantive
    changes to the Performance work statement.

3.  The CO [MUST]{.underline} mark any clause which is modified at post
    with a double asterisk (\*\*), unless the instructions for that
    clause in the model expressly state that post should modify the
    clause to reflect post specifics. The rationale for this
    modification [MUST]{.underline} be included in the memo requesting
    review from A/OPE. Delete the asterisk from the document prior to
    issuance of the solicitation.

[SECTION A]{.underline}:

1\. Complete blocks 1 through 11 of the SF-33 Solicitation, Offer and
Award.

2.  Block 11, Table of Contents - Identify precise page numbers of each
    section.

SECTION B

Please note we have deleted **DOSAR 652.216-71 the Economic Price
Adjustment Clause (EPA) from Section B** of this model. It has been
determined that the contractor should assume the risk and negate the
need for further cost/analysis and re-negotiations to be done at posts.
This applies to posts where the minimum wage and labor cost increases
are standard, increases do not fluctuate substantially, and market
forces and price competition have been shown to be fair and reasonable.
Please contact your desk officer if you feel it is necessary to include
this clause.

A NOTE ON THE CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (CCR)

\[***Note to Contracting Officer: If the contracting officer expects
participation by US firms or if the contracting officer determines it is
practical for foreign firms performing contracts outside the U.S. to
register in the CCR, then the following clause (FAR 52.204-7) should be
included in the solicitation. For additional information regarding when
the CCR requirement should be included can be found in A/OPE PIB
2004-2.***

*If FAR 52.204-7 is included in the solicitation then the following
clauses should be deleted in their entirety within the model
solicitation:*

***(a) 52.203--2, Certificate of Independent Price Determination.***

***(b) 52.203--11, Certification and Disclosure Regarding Payments to
Influence Certain Federal Transactions.***

***(c) 52.204--3, Taxpayer Identification.***

***(d) 52.204-6, Contractor Identification Number-Data Universal
Numbering System (DUNS) Number***

***(e) 52.209--5, Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension,
Proposed Debarment, and Other Responsibility Matters.***

***(f) 52.215--6, Place of Performance.\]***

52.204-7 Central Contractor Registration (JULY 2006)

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

\"Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database\" means the primary
Government repository for Contractor information required for the
conduct of business with the Government.

\"Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number\" means the 9-digit
number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique
business entities.

\"Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number\" means the DUNS
number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by
a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character
suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of
the business concern to establish additional CCR records for identifying
alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at
Subpart 32.11) for the same parent concern.

\"Registered in the CCR database\" means that- (1) The Contractor has
entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the
DUNS+4 number, into the CCR database; and (2) The Government has
validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the
Taxpayer Identification number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), and has marked the record \"Active\". The Contractor will be
required to provide consent for TIN validation to the government as a
part of the CCR registration process.

(b)(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the
requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR
database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment
of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket
purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

\(2\) The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on
the cover page of its offer, the annotation \"DUNS\" or \"DUNS +4\"
followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror\'s
name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be
used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered
in the CCR database.

\(c\) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun
and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

\(1\) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number-

\(i\) If located within the United States, by calling Dun and Bradstreet
at 1-866-705-5711 or via the Internet at *http://www.dnb.com*; or

\(ii\) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun
and Bradstreet office.

\(2\) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following
information:

\(i\) Company legal business.

\(ii\) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is
commonly recognized.

\(iii\) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code.

\(iv\) Company Mailing Address, City, State and Zip Code (if separate
from physical).

\(v\) Company Telephone Number.

\(vi\) Date the company was started.

\(vii\) Number of employees at your location.

\(viii\) Chief executive officer/key manager.

\(ix\) Line of business (industry).

\(x\) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship
within your entity).

\(d\) If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in
the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer
will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered
Offeror.

\(e\) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken
into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered
should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of
this solicitation.

\(f\) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of
the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from
the Government\'s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain
registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the
Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the
date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in
the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete.
Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions
of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed
contractual document.

\(g\) (1) (i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name,
\"doing business as\" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the
contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the
contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding
novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor
shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one
business day\'s written notification of its intention to (A) change the
name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of Subpart
42.12 of the FAR; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and
procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The
Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation
to support the legally changed name.

\(ii\) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of
paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at
paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly
executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that
shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the
contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the
meaning of the \"Suspension of Payment\" paragraph of the electronic
funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

\(2\) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT
payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to
reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR
Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately
registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the
Contractor\'s CCR record that indicates payments, including those made
by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be
considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the
\"Suspension of payment\" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

\(h\) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration
and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at
*http://www.ccr.gov* or by calling 1-888-227-2423, or 269-961-5757.

When the contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that
[no]{.underline} covered contractor employees (see PIB 2004-32 on OPE
intranet site for definition of covered versus non covered employees)
will be included in the offers (e.g., offers will come from local
overseas contractors and the work is to be performed in a country [that
has local workers' compensation laws]{.underline}), the contracting
officer shall include the following FAR clause and DOSAR provision in
the solicitation:

-   FAR clause 52.228-4, *Workers' Compensation and War-Hazard Insurance
    Overseas*; place in Section I.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Provision entitled *Defense Base Act -- Covered Contractor
    Employees*; place in Section K*.*

If, in response to the solicitation, any offeror knows that they will
employ covered employees, the offeror is required to notify the
contracting officer prior to the closing date. The contracting officer
shall then amend the solicitation to add a line item in Section B (see
sample language in B.2.7 and actual item in B.3.6 of the LGP model).
Also add the following clauses/provisions:

-   FAR clause 52.228-3, *Workers' Compensation Insurance (Defense Base
    Act)*; place in Section I.

-   DOSAR clause 652.228-71, *Workers' Compensation Insurance (Defense
    Base Act) -- Services* (DEVIATION); place Section I.

-   DOSAR provision 652.228-74, *Defense Base Act Insurance Rates --
    Limitation* (DEVIATION); place in Section L.

contractor rates into their proposed prices.

A NOTE ON AMERICAN BUSINESS SOURCES:

If you know or expect that American businesses may submit a proposal,
you must include the following solicitation provision, along with the
other certifications in this solicitation. It is a certification used to
determine whether the firm is considered small by the Small Business
Administration (SBA). If you receive an offer from a small business, and
you determine that firm to be non-responsible, then you must refer the
matter to A/OPE and A/SDBU for referral to SBA; any determination of
non-responsibility of an American small business must be referred to SBA
prior to award of the contract. SBA will then determine whether to issue
a Certificate of Competency (SBA) attesting to the firm\'s ability to
perform the contract. For more information, see FAR 19.000(b) and 19.6.

DEPARTMENT. DEPARTMENT-AUTHORIZED PROFESSIONAL-USE PESTICIDES (DAPU) ARE
FOUND IN EXHIBIT 2. (See Exhibit 2, Department-Authorized EPA-Registered
Professional-Use Pesticides for Common Pests). USE OF NON-CHEMICAL
PESTICIDES IS ENCOURAGED.

C.4.3 [TASK 3 - APPLY PESTICIDE]{.underline}

[General]{.underline}

The Contractor shall not apply any pesticide product unless it is
included in the Pest Control Plan and approved in writing by the COR. As
a general rule, the contractor shall not apply pesticides in any area
unless the Contractor\'s inspections indicate the presence of pests in
that specific area, inside or outside the premises - in any room,
closet, hallway, stairwell, court, driveway, planting bed, and similar
locations.

The Contractor shall deliver all materials and supplies to the site in
the original unopened containers bearing the name of the manufacturer
and details for proper mixing, application, storage and disposal.

The Contractor shall apprise all workers, supervisory personnel, and any
other contractors who will be at the work site of the seriousness of the
hazard and of proper work procedures, which must be followed.

The Contractor shall coordinate any and all pesticide use and activities
with the COR before actual application. If the COR is not the POSHO, the
COR will receive the approval of the POSHO before instructing the
Contractor to begin application. The COR shall obtain copies of the
Material Safety Data Sheets and pesticide labeling and provide them to
the Contractor for the pesticides being used so that protective measures
and/or spills may be properly addressed.

The COR shall provide the Contractor with the following:

\- Access to all identified areas for pest control.

\- Water and electricity from outside of the work area. The Contractor
shall be responsible for the tie-ins to these services.

\- A designated space for the Contractor to park vehicles necessary to
perform the work, if required.

\- The name and phone number of at least one building authority who can
be contacted 24 hours a day, if other than the COR.

[Insect Control]{.underline}

[Pesticide Products and Use]{.underline}: When a professional pesticide
must be used for adequate control, the Contractor shall apply an
appropriate Department-authorized professional-use pesticide and comply
with all instructions and precautions noted on the specimen label as
well as Department specifications, which are a subset of the labeling.

The Contractor shall apply pesticides according to the label and
Department specifications (refer to the Department's Integrated Pest
Management Program document). All pesticides used by the Contractor must
be registered and authorized by the Department. The contractor's
transport, handling, and use of all pesticides shall be in strict
accordance with the manufacturer\'s label instructions; all applicable
U.S. Federal laws and regulations; and any applicable international or
host country laws and regulations.

The Contractor shall minimize the use of liquid pesticide applications
wherever possible. For example, as a general rule, the contractor shall
apply pesticide formulations only as spot and/or crack, and crevice
treatments with application devices specifically designed or modified
for this purpose.

o \"Crack and crevice treatment\" is defined as an application in which
the stream of pesticide is never visible. Small amounts of insecticides
are applied into cracks and crevices in which insects hide or through
which they may enter buildings. Such openings commonly occur at
expansion joints, between different elements of construction, and
between equipment and floors. These openings may lead to voids such as
hollow walls, equipment legs and bases, conduits, motor housings,
junction or switch boxes.

o "Spot applications" are limited to areas in which insects are likely
to occur, but which will not be in contact with food or utensils and
will not ordinarily be contacted by workers. These areas may occur on
floors, walls, and bases or undersides of equipment. For this purpose, a
"spot" will not exceed 3 square feet.

The contractor shall restrict pplication of pesticide liquid, aerosol,
or dust to exposed surfaces, and pesticide space sprays (including fogs,
mists, and ultra‑low volume applications), to unique situations where no
alternative measures are practical. Special authorization will be
required from the COR.

If the proposed pesticide is not already authorized in the Department's
Integrated Pest Management Program document, the Contractor must submit
a written request for authorization to the COR before applying the
pesticide. The COR shall render a decision regarding the treatment
before its application. The Contractor shall take all necessary
precautions to ensure tenant and employee safety, and all necessary
steps to ensure the containment of the pesticide to the site of
application. Other than spot or crack and crevice treatments, the
contractor shall make no applications of professional-use pesticides
while tenant occupants are present.

[Rodent Control]{.underline}

[Pesticide Products and Use]{.underline}: Mechanical or sticky traps are
the preferred method of rodent population reduction. In exceptional
circumstances, when rodenticides are deemed essential for adequate
rodent control inside and/or outside occupied buildings, the Contractor
shall obtain the approval of the COR prior to making any interior
rodenticide treatment.

All rodenticides, regardless of packaging, shall be placed either in
locations not accessible to children, pets, wildlife, and domestic
animals, or in EPA‑approved tamper‑resistant bait boxes.

The contractor shall:

1.  Place all bait boxes shall out of the general view, in locations
    where they will not be disturbed by routine operations.

2.  Securely lock or fasten shut the lids of all bait boxes.

3.  Securely attach or anchor to the floor all bait to the floor,
    ground, wall, or other surface, so that the box cannot be picked up
    or moved.

4\. Place bait in the baffle‑protected feeding chamber of the box and
never in the runway of the box.

5\. Label all bait boxes with the Contractor\'s business name and
address, and dated at the time of installation and each servicing.

As a general rule, rodenticide application outside buildings shall
target the direct treatment of rodent burrows wherever feasible. The
Contractor shall be responsible for notifying the COR about the location
of all rodent burrows on the premises that must be filled. The
Contractor shall also be responsible for removing rodent carcasses.

The Contractor shall not store any pesticide product or container on
Government property.

C.4.4 [TASK 4 - INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE]{.underline}

After the contractor notifies the COR that the service has been
provided, the COR shall visually inspect the work area/treated area. If
the work is not satisfactory, the COR shall advise the Contractor in
writing. The COR shall repeat the inspection when assured that the work
has been completed. The COR shall periodically conduct an unannounced
site visit to observe and ensure that the Contractor is implementing all
requirements specified in the Pest Control Plan.

When the work has been satisfactorily completed, the COR shall certify
acceptance on the OF-127, Receiving and Inspection Report.

C.4.5 [TASK 5 - CLEAN-UP OF AREA]{.underline}

Upon final acceptance by the COR, the Contractor shall remove temporary
protective measures, tarps placed up for fumigation, and facilities
installed for work by the Contractor. The contractor shall remove any
warning placards.

The Contractor shall remove all tools, equipment and supplies from the
work area. The contractor shall not leave behind pesticides, empty
pesticide containers or equipment used for pesticide application in the
work area.

The work area shall be free of dirt and/or debris when the project is
complete. The contractor shall patch and cover all holes drilled by the
Contractor with standard construction materials.

*United States* means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and Wake Island.

\(b\) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this clause, during the
term of this contract, the Contractor shall post a notice, in the form
of a poster, informing employees of their rights concerning union
membership and payment of union dues and fees, in conspicuous

places in and about all its plants and offices, including all places
where notices to employees are customarily posted. The notice shall
include the following information (except that the information
pertaining to National Labor Relations Board shall not be

included in notices posted in the plants or offices of carriers subject
to the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 151-- 188)).

Notice to Employees

Under Federal law, employees cannot be required to join a union or
maintain membership in a union in order to retain their jobs. Under
certain conditions, the law permits a union and an employer to enter
into a union-security agreement requiring employees to pay uniform
periodic dues and initiation fees. However, employees who are not union
members can object to the use of

their payments for certain purposes and can only be required to pay
their share of union costs relating to collective bargaining, contract
administration, and grievance adjustment.

If you do not want to pay that portion of dues or fees used to support
activities not related to collective bargaining, contract
administration, or grievance adjustment, you are entitled to an
appropriate reduction in your payment. If you believe that you have been
required to pay dues or fees used in part to support activities not
related to collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance
adjustment, you may be entitled to a refund and to an appropriate
reduction in

future payments.

For further information concerning your rights, you may wish to contact
the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) either at one of its Regional
offices or at the following

address or toll free number:

National Labor Relations Board

Division of Information

1099 14th Street, N.W.

Washington, DC 20570

\(c\) The Contractor shall comply with all provisions of Executive Order
13201 of February 17, 2001, and related implementing regulations at 29
CFR part 470, and orders of the Secretary of Labor.

\(d\) In the event that the Contractor does not comply with any of the
requirements set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), or (g), the Secretary may
direct that this contract be cancelled, terminated, or suspended in
whole or in part, and declare the Contractor ineligible for further
Government contracts in accordance with procedures at 29 CFR

part 470, Subpart B--- Compliance Evaluations, Complaint Investigations
and Enforcement Procedures. Such other sanctions or remedies may be
imposed as are provided by 29 CFR part 470, which implements Executive
Order 13201, or as are otherwise provided by law.

\(e\) The requirement to post the employee notice in paragraph (b) does
not apply to---

\(1\) Contractors and subcontractors that employ fewer than 15 persons;

\(2\) Contractor establishments or construction work sites where no
union has been formally recognized by the Contractor or certified as the
exclusive bargaining representative of the Contractor's employees;

\(3\) Contractor establishments or construction work sites located in a
jurisdiction named in the definition of the United States in which the
law of that jurisdiction forbids enforcement of union-security
agreements;

\(4\) Contractor facilities where upon the written request of the
Contractor, the Department of Labor Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Labor-Management Programs has waived the posting requirements with
respect to any of the Contractor's facilities if the Deputy

Assistant Secretary finds that the Contractor has demonstrated that---

\(i\) The facility is in all respects separate and distinct from
activities of the Contractor related to the performance of a contract;
and

\(ii\) Such a waiver will not interfere with or impede the effectuation
of the Executive order; or

\(5\) Work outside the United States that does not involve the
recruitment or employment of workers within the United States.

\(f\) The Department of Labor publishes the official employee notice in
two variations; one for contractors covered by the Railway Labor Act and
a second for all other contractors. The Contractor shall---

\(1\) Obtain the required employee notice poster from the Division of
Interpretations and Standards, Office of Labor-Management Standards,
U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room N-- 5605,
Washington, DC 20210, or from any

field office of the Department's Office of Labor-Management Standards or

\(2\) Download a copy of the poster from the Office of Labor-Management
Standards website at *http://www.olms.dol.gov*; or

\(3\) Reproduce and use exact duplicate copies of the Department of

\(g\) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause in every
subcontract or purchase order that exceeds the simplified acquisition
threshold, entered into in connection with this contract, unless
exempted by the Department of Labor Deputy

Assistant Secretary for Labor--Management Programs on account of special
circumstances in the national interest under authority of 29 CFR
470.3(c). For indefinite quantity subcontracts, the Contractor shall
include the substance of this clause if

the value of orders in any calendar year of the subcontract is expected
to exceed

the simplified acquisition threshold. Pursuant to 29 CFR part 470,
Subpart B--- Compliance Evaluations, Complaint Investigations and
Enforcement Procedures, the Secretary of Labor may direct the Contractor
to take such action in the enforcement of these regulations, including
the imposition of sanctions for noncompliance with respect to any such
subcontract or purchase order. If the Contractor becomes involved in
litigation with a subcontractor or vendor, or is threatened with such
involvement, as a result of such

direction, the Contractor may request the United States, through the
Secretary of Labor, to enter into such litigation to protect the
interests of the United States.

I.8 [52.232-19 AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. (APR

Funds are not presently available for performance under this contract
beyond 30 September of the current calendar year. The Government\'s
obligation for performance of this contract beyond that date is
contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which
payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the
part of the Government for any payment may arise for performance under
this contract beyond 30 September of the current calendar year, until
funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for performance and
until the Contractor receives notice of availability, to be confirmed in
writing by the Contracting Officer.

month contract price divided by 21 days per month.

compensated for services provided.

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.

I.14 [652.225-71 SECTION 8(A) OF THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACT OF 1979,
AS AMENDED (AUG 1999)]{.underline}

\(a\) 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;

(2) Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to employ or
    otherwise discriminating against any person on the basis of race,
    religion, sex, or national origin of that person or of any owner,
    officer, director, or employee of such person;

(3) Furnishing information with respect to the race, religion, or
    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:

\(1\) Complying or agreeing to comply with requirements:

\(i\) Prohibiting the import of goods or services from Israel or goods
produced or services provided by any business concern organized under
the laws of Israel or by nationals or residents of Israel; or,

\(ii\) Prohibiting the shipment of goods to Israel on a carrier of
Israel, or by a route other than that prescribed by the boycotting
country or the recipient of the shipment;

\(2\) 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
information knowingly furnished or conveyed in response to such
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 laws or regulations of that foreign country governing imports into
> such country of trademarked, trade named, or similarly specifically
> identifiable products, or components of products for his or her own

Exhibit 3 SHEM

11/98

PESTICIDE APPLICATION NOTIFICATION

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  This form is to be used by posts to formally authorize and document the
  conditions under which a contractor can apply pesticides in
  Department-owned/leased residences. As requested, an inspection of this
  property has been conducted and the following treatment plan is
  authorized. This form is to be given to residence occupants at least
  [24]{.underline} hours before application.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

A pesticide applicator has been contractted to come to your home or
office to treat for pests, which you have been unable to control by
other non-chemical means. The contractor has been authorized to use a
product that is EPA registered or Department approved for the specific
pest and application. Each pesticide is indicated for certain pests and
must be applied according to the manufacturer's directions. Spraying
into cracks and crevices where the pests live is very common. The
Department mandates that post only use EPA-registered and Department
approved pesticides, which have detailed instructions regarding use of
the product. Pesticide labels and other safety related information
should be available from the GSO, POSHO or health unit.

All pesticides are poisons and are used judiciously to combat pests,
which, in addition to being a nuisance, may pose health risks and/or
cause of significant property damage. A/FBO/OPS/SAF (SHEM) does not
recommend the use pesticide powders or dusts. Should there be an
exception to the general rule, the applicator should remove any residual
pesticide, which is accessible to occupants or pets. You can reduce your
exposure to pesticides by following the steps indicated below:

-   Vacate any location where pesticides are being applied in spray
    form. This includes any household pets. If you have fish, consider
    covering the aquarium with plastic if it is too large to move. Some
    pesticides may be quite toxic to fish or other aquatic life.

-   Remove toys from the area to be treated.

-   Remove food, dishes, post, pans and other cooking/eating utensils
    before treating kitchen cabinets. Pesticides should not be allowed
    to contact any surface/object that will contact food. Wait until the
    shelves dry before refilling them. If it's possible that contact
    occurred, wash the items thoroughly with soap and hot water before
    use.

-   Allow adequate ventilation following the application of pesticides
    indoors. When spraying will occur outdoors, close the windows of
    your home. It may be difficult to predict how long the treated space
    should be vacated; however, all sprayed surfaces should be dry.
    Usually a minimum of one to two hours will be necessary. Although
    odor is not necessarily the best indicator of exposure, ventilation
    should be increased in areas where the odor is bothersome.

-   Do not use surface sprays to treat entire floors, walls or ceilings
    even though such "broadcast" applications may be listed on the
    product label.

-   Do not place rodent or insect baits where small children or pets can
    reach them. Tamper-proof bait stations should be used whenever
    rodent bait is being used. The granules of bait should never be
    applied loose since pets or small children may mistake these for
    food.

-   Perform pest prevalence reduction and self-help measures to reduce
    or eliminate the need for chemical pesticide treatment.

-   Follow instructions on the pesticide label.
