Section G - Special Contract Requirements

G.1. Evaluation of Contractor Performance Utilizing CPARS (April 2013)

In accordance with FAR 42.15, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) will review and evaluate contract performance. FAR 42.1502 and 42.1503
requires agencies to prepare evaluations of contractor performance and submit
them to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The CDC
utilizes the Department of Defense (DOD) web-based Contractor Performance
Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to prepare and report these contractor
performance evaluations. All information contained in these assessments may be
used by the Government, within the limitations of FAR 42.15, for future source
selections in accordance with FAR 15.304 where past performance is an evaluation
factor. The CPARS system requires a contractor representative to be assigned so
that the contractor has appropriate input into the performance evaluation
process. The CPARS contractor representative will be given access to CPARS and
will be given the opportunity to concur or not-concur with performance
evaluations before the evaluations are complete. The CPARS contractor
representative will also have the opportunity to add comments to performance
evaluations.

The assessment is not subject to the Disputes clause of the contract, nor is it
subject to appeal beyond the review and comment procedures described in the
guides on the CPARS website. Refer to: www.cpars.gov for details and additional
information related to CPARS, CPARS user access, how contract performance
assessments are conducted, and how Contractors participate. Access and training
for all persons responsible for the preparation and review of performance
assessments is also available at the CPARS website.

The contractor must provide the CDC contracting office with the name, e-mail
address, and phone number of their designated CPARS representative who will be
responsible for logging into CPARS and reviewing and commenting on performance
evaluations. The contractor must maintain a current representative to serve as
the contractor representative in CPARS. It is the contractor's responsibility to
notify the CDC contracting office, in writing (letter or email), when their
CPARS representative information needs to be changed or updated. Failure to
maintain current CPARS contractor representative information will result in the
loss of an opportunity to review and comment on performance evaluations.

G.2. Non Disclosure Agreements for Contractor and Contractor Employees

G.2.1 The Contractor shall prepare and submit a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
to the Contracting Officer prior to access of Government information or the
commencement of work at CDC.

G.2.2 The NDA made part of this clause, Exhibit I and Exhibit II is required in
service contracts where positions and/or functions proposed to be filled by
Contractor's employees and Contractor's affiliates' employees (collectively,
"Employees") who will have access to non-public and procurement- sensitive
information. The NDA also requires contractor's employees to properly identify
themselves as employees of a contractor when communicating or interacting with
CDC employees, employees of other governmental entities (when communication or
interaction relates to the contractor's work with the CDC), and members of the
public. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 37.114 (c), states "All
contractor personnel attending meetings, answering Government telephones, and
working in other situations where their contractor status is not obvious to
third parties are required to identify themselves as such to avoid creating an
impression in the minds of members of the public or Congress that they are
Government officials, unless, in the judgment of the agency, no harm can come
from failing to identify themselves. They must also ensure that all documents or
reports produced by contractors are suitably marked as contractor products or
that contractor participation is appropriately disclosed."

G.2.3 The Contractor shall inform Employees of the identification requirements
by which they must abide and monitor employee compliance with the identification
requirements.

G.2.4 During the contract performance period, the Contractor is responsible to
ensure that any additional or replacement Employees sign a NDA and it is
submitted to the Contracting Officer prior to commencement of their work with
the CDC.

G.2.5 Employees in designated positions or functions that have not signed the
appropriate NDA shall not have access to any non-public, procurement sensitive
information or participate in government meeting where sensitive information may
be discussed.

G.2.6 The Contractor shall prepare and maintain a current list of Employees
working under NDAs and submit to the Contracting Officer upon request during the
contract period of performance. The list should at a minimum include: contract
number, employee's name, position, date of hire and NDA requirement.

EXHIBIT I
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Contractor Non-Disclosure
Agreement

I.
Non-public Information

[Name of contractor] understands that in order to fulfill the responsibilities
pursuant to [Contract name and number] between the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention and [Name of CDC contractor] dated [date], employees of
[contractor] will have access to non-public information, including confidential
and privileged information contained in government-owned information technology
systems. For purposes of this agreement, confidential information means
government information that is not or will not be generally available to the
public. Privileged information means information which cannot
be  disclosed without the prior written  consent of  the CDC.

In order to properly safeguard non-public information, [contractor] agrees to
ensure that prior to being granted access to government information or the
commencement of work for the CDC, whichever is applicable, all employees will
sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) provided by the CDC prior to beginning
work for the CDC. Contractor agrees to submit to the contracting official the
original signed copies of NDAs signed by the contractor's employees in
accordance with the instructions provided by the contracting official. Failure
to provide signed NDAs in accordance with this agreement and instructions
provided by the contracting official could delay or prevent the employee from
commencing or continuing work at the CDC until such agreement is signed and
returned to the contracting official.

Contractor further agrees that it will not cause or encourage any employee to
disclose, publish, divulge, release, or make known in any manner or to any
extent, to any individual other than an authorized Government employee any
non-public information that the employee may obtain in connection with the
performance of the employee's responsibilities to the CDC.

II.
Procurement-Sensitive Information

Contractor further agrees that it will not cause or encourage any employee to
disclose, publish, divulge, release, or make known in any manner or to any
extent, to any individual, other than an authorized Government employee, any
procurement-sensitive information gained while in connection with fulfilling the
employee's responsibilities at the CDC. For purposes of this agreement,
procurement-sensitive information includes, but is not limited to, all
information in Statements of Work (SOW), Requests for Contract (RFC), and
Requests for Proposal (RFP); Responses to RFPs, including questions from

to, concerning, or affecting proposed or pending solicitations or awards;
procurement data; contract information plans; strategies; source selection
information and documentation; offerors' identities; technical and cost data;
the identity of government personal involved in the solicitation; the schedule
of key technical and procurement events in the award determination

process; and any other information that may provide an unfair competitive
advantage to a contractor or potential contractor if improperly disclosed to
them, or any of their employees.

Contractor understands and agrees that employee access to any
procurement-sensitive information may create a conflict of interest which will
preclude contractor from becoming a competitor for any acquisition(s) resulting
from this information. Therefore, if an employee participates in any discussions
relating to procurement-sensitive information, assists in developing any
procurement-sensitive information, or otherwise obtains any
procurement-sensitive information during the course of performing duties at the
CDC, contractor understands and agrees that contractor are be excluded from
competing for any acquisition(s) resulting from this information.

III.

Contractor understands that its employees are not agents of the Government.
Therefore, unless otherwise directed in writing by the CDC, contractor agrees to
assist and monitor employee compliance with the following identification
procedures:

A.
At the beginning of interactions with CDC employees, employees of other
governmental entities, members of the public, or the media (when such
communication or interaction relates to the contractor's work with the CDC),

other exception is when a CDC management official has granted permission to use
the CDC logo.

E.
Contractors' employees will program CDC voice mail message to identify
themselves as an employee of a contractor.

I understand that federal laws including, 18 U.S.C. 641 and 18 U.S.C. 2071,
provide criminal penalties for, among other things, unlawfully removing,
destroying or converting to personal use, or use of another, any public records.
Contractor acknowledges that contractor has read and fully understands this
agreement.

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 SAM
database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in
the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a
substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)

(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

the Contractor shall provide the responsible
Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notif ication of its
intention to:

(A) Change the name in the SAM database;

(t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph
(t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation
or change-of-name agreement, the SAM 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.

(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or
manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM 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 SAM database.

"Suspension of payment" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual
confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.

(u) Unauthorized Obligations.

(1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or
service acquired under this contract is subject to any End Use License Agreement
(EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that
includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any
person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that
would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following
shall govern:

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be
deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS,
or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal
instrument or agreement is invoked through an "I agree" click box or other
comparable mechanism (e.g., "click-wrap" or "browse-wrap" agreements), execution
does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such
clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar
legal instrument or agreement.
