SECTION 1. - GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

GPO CONTRACT TERMS: Any contract which results from this Invitation for Bid will be subject to the 

applicable provisions, clauses, and supplemental specifications of GPO Contract Terms (GPO Publication 310.2, 

effective December 1, 1987 (Rev. 6-01)). 

GPO Contract Terms (GPO Publication 310.2) – http://www.gpo.gov/pdfs/vendors/sfas/terms.pdf. 

DISPUTES: GPO Publication 310.2, GPO Contract Terms, Contract Clause 5. Disputes, is hereby replaced with 

the June 2008 clause found at http://www.gpo.gov/pdfs/vendors/contractdisputes.pdf. This June 2008 clause also 

cancels and supersedes any other disputes language currently included in existing contractual actions. 

SUBCONTRACTING: The predominant production function of this contract is document conversion. 

Subcontracting will be allowed for the destruction of Government furnished materials. 

OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT: The Government has the option to extend the 

term of this contract for a period of 12 months by written notice to the contractor not later than 30 days before the 

contract expires. If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this 

clause, except, the total duration of the contract may not exceed five (5) years as a result of, and including, any 

extension(s) added under this clause. Further extension may be negotiated under the “EXTENSION OF 

CONTRACT TERM” clause. See also “ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT” for authorized pricing 

adjustment(s). 

EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TERM: At the request of the Government, the term of any contract resulting 

from this solicitation may be extended for such period of time as may be mutually agreeable to the GPO and the 

contractor. 

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT: The pricing under this contract shall be adjusted in accordance with this 

clause, provided that in no event will any pricing adjustment be made that would exceed the maximum 

permissible under any law in effect at the time of the adjustment. There will be no adjustment for orders placed 

during the first period specified below. Pricing will thereafter be eligible for adjustment during the second and 

any succeeding performance period(s). For each performance period after the first, a percentage figure will be 

calculated as described below and that figure will be the economic price adjustment for that entire next period. 

Pricing adjustments under this clause are not applicable to reimbursable postage or transportation costs, or to 

paper, if paper prices are subject to adjustment by separate clause elsewhere in this contract. 

For the purpose of this clause, performance under this contract will be divided into successive periods. The first 

period will extend from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015, and the second and any succeeding 

period(s) will extend for 12 months from the end of the last preceding period, except that the length of the final 

period may vary. The first day of the second and any succeeding period(s) will be the effective date of the 

economic price adjustment for that period. 

Pricing adjustments in accordance with this clause will be based on changes in the seasonally adjusted “Consumer 

Price Index For All Urban Consumers - Commodities Less Food” (Index) published monthly in the CPI Detailed 

Report by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

The economic price adjustment will be the percentage difference between Index averages as specified in this 

paragraph. An index called the variable index will be calculated by averaging the monthly Indexes from the 12-

month interval ending three (3) months prior to the beginning of the period being considered for adjustment. This 

average is then compared to the average of the monthly Indexes for the 12-month interval ending June 30, 2014 

called the base index. The percentage change (plus or minus) of the variable index from the base index will be the 

economic price adjustment for the period being considered for adjustment. 
DLA On-Site Document Conversion Services Page 3 of 23 

141-S (R-2) (09/15) 

The Government will notify the contractor by contract modification specifying the percentage increase or 

decrease to be applied to invoices for orders placed during the period indicated. The contractor shall apply the 

percentage increase or decrease against the total price of the invoice less reimbursable postage or transportation 

costs and separately adjusted paper prices. Payment discounts shall be applied after the invoice price is adjusted. 

PREAWARD SURVEY: In order to determine the responsibility of the prime contractor or any subcontractor, 

the Government reserves the right to conduct a preaward survey at the contractor’s/subcontractor’s facility or to 

require other evidence of technical, production, managerial, financial, and similar abilities to perform, prior to the 

award of a contract. 

PREAWARD TEST: The contractor being considered for award may be required to demonstrate their ability to 

perform the functions required in these specifications by completing a preaward test. The Government may waive 

the preaward test if there is other evidence that, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, indicates that the 

contractor being considered for award has the capability to successfully perform the functions required. 

For the preaward test, a job representative of the functions to be performed under these specifications will be 

provided on the same media stipulated in the specifications. 

The preaward test samples must be of the type required by these specifications and are to be delivered to the 

requested DLA site marked “PREAWARD TEST SAMPLES FOR PROGRAM 141-S” within two (2) workdays of 

receipt of the furnished preaward test materials. 

If preaward test samples are disapproved by the Government, the contractor may be permitted, at the option of the 

Government, additional time to correct defects and/or submit additional test samples if so notified by the 

Contracting Officer. 

In the event the additional preaward test samples are disapproved by the Government, the contractor shall be 

deemed to have failed to comply with the applicable requirements of these specifications and may be reason for a 

determination of non-responsibility. 

Failure to perform the preaward test functions in accordance with these specifications may be reason for a 

determination of non-responsibility. In addition, the contractor’s failure to successfully complete this test within 

two (2) workdays may also result in a determination of non-responsibility. The Contracting Officer may grant a 

period in excess of two (2) workdays, if in his/her opinion, there is reason to believe that the contractor is making 

great progress in meeting the contract specifications. 

No charges will be allowed for costs incurred in the performance of this preaward test. 

WORK AREA RESTRICTIONS: The contractor shall observe the Government regulations regarding 

trespassing into areas outside of those authorized for their work, such as security areas. Information gained 

through the work to be performed shall not be divulged outside of the ordering department or agency or used for 

personal gain. 

INSURANCE LIABILITY: Since the work required by the resulting contract may be performed within a 

Government establishment, the contractor is required to have sufficient insurance to hold and save the 

Government and the Government employees free and harmless from liability of any nature occasioned by their 

operations. 

SECURITY AND BADGES: A minimum of a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) with a favorably 

adjudicated background investigation is required prior to commencing work because of access to Government 

computers and network systems. The DLA Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will work with all 

personnel to ensure all personnel receive a DLAH Form 1728 to be completed by both the contractor and DLA for 

the verification of the background investigation or an initiation of a NACI if one has not already been completed. 
DLA On-Site Document Conversion Services Page 4 of 23 

141-S (R-2) (09/15) 

The DLAH 1728 will be submitted to the DLA HQ Personnel Security Manager for processing. Once the DLAH 

1728 has been approved, the DLA COR will work with all assigned personnel to obtain a contractor common 

access card (CAC) and vehicle decals for entrance into the Government facility/military installation, if required, 

as ordered on individual print orders. 

SECURITY: All assigned personnel who will have access to Government furnished computers will observe all 

local Automated Information System (AIS) security policies and procedures. AIS security training will be 

provided at no cost to assigned personnel. Violations of local AIS security policy will be evaluated on a case-bycase basis and could result in disciplinary actions. All personnel performing work on this contract are required to 

be United States citizens and must have a favorably adjudicated background investigation prior to commencing 

work. 

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: Protection of Sensitive and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) – 

Personally identifiable information is “any information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s 

identity, such as their name, social security number, biometric records, etc., alone or when combined with other 

personal or identifying information which is linked or linkable to a specific individual, such as date and place of 

birth, mother’s maiden name, etc.” 

For the purpose of this contract, “on site” is defined as performing in or on Government facilities, including, 

but not limited to, DLA sites nationwide, including Pearl Harbor, HI. For each order placed, each contractor 

employee(s) working on-site will be required to sign a non-disclosure statement. 

 (a) The contractor shall restrict access to all information obtained in the performance of this contract to those

immediate supervision and control of authorized personnel and in a manner that will protect the 

confidentiality of the records in such a way that unauthorized persons cannot retrieve any such records. 

 (c) The contractor shall inform all personnel with access to the information in the performance of this 

contract of the confidential nature of the information and the safeguards required to protect this 

information from improper disclosure. 

(d) For knowingly disclosing information in violation of the Privacy Act, the contractor and the contractor’s 

employees may be subject to the criminal penalties as set forth in 5 U.S.C Section 552a (i)(1), which is 

made applicable to contractors by 5 U.S.C. 552a (m)(1) to the same extent as employees of the 

Government. 

(e) The contractor shall ensure that each contractor employee with access to information knows the 

prescribed rules of conduct, and that each contractor employee is aware that he/she may be subject to 

criminal penalties for violations. 

(f) All information obtained for use in the performance of this contract shall, at all times, be stored in an area 

that is physically safe from unauthorized access. 

SECURITY OF DATA: The contractor shall not release or sell, to any person, any technical or other data 

received from the Government under the contract; nor shall the contractor use the data for any purpose other than 

that for which it was provided to the contractor under the terms of the contract. 
DLA On-Site Document Conversion Services Page 5 of 23 

141-S (R-2) (09/15) 

DATA RIGHTS: All data and materials furnished and/or produced in the performance of this contract shall be 

the sole property of the Government. The contractor agrees not to assert rights or to establish any claim to such 

data/materials in whole or in part in any manner or form, or to authorize others to do so, without prior written 

consent of the Contracting Officer. 

WARNING: All contractor employees performing on this contract must be U.S. citizens and may be 

required to show proof of citizenship prior to commencement of work. 

The contractor shall not retain or distribute, in any form, any part of the materials furnished by the Government 

which are not consumed in the preparation of the work or which are generated as a result of this contract. Proper 

precautions shall be taken to ensure that all Government supplied materials are protected from damage. The 

Government furnished materials shall be returned in the same condition as originally furnished. 

Proper control and handling must be maintained at all times to prevent any information, data, or materials 

required to produce the products ordered under these specifications from falling into unauthorized hands. 

All erroneous/extra copies produced by the contractor are to be destroyed. (See DISPOSAL OF WASTE 

MATERIALS.) 

SECURITY CONTROL PLANS: The contractor shall maintain, in operation, an effective security system 

where items by these specifications are produced and/or stored (awaiting distribution or disposal) to assure against 

theft and/or the product falling into unauthorized hands. 

Contractor is cautioned that no Government provided information shall be used for non-Government business. 

Specifically, no Government information shall be used for the benefit of a third party. 

The Government retains the right to conduct security reviews at any time during the term of the contract. 

The contractor shall present, in writing, to the Contracting Officer within two (2) calendar days of being notified 

to do so by the Contracting Officer or his/her representative, detailed plans for the following activities. The 

workday after notification to submit will be the first day of the schedule. 

THESE PROPOSED PLANS ARE SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE GOVERNMENT 

AND AWARD WILL NOT BE MADE PRIOR TO APPROVAL OF SAME. 

The Security Control Plans shall provide in detail, at a minimum: 

 How all accountable materials will be handled throughout all phases of production. 

 How the disposal of waste materials will be handled. 

 List of subcontractor(s) and their specific function. 

 How all applicable Government-mandated security/privacy/rules and regulations, as cited in this contract, 

shall be adhered to by the contractor and/or subcontractor(s).

confirming that the current plans are still in effect. 
DLA On-Site Document Conversion Services Page 6 of 23 

141-S (R-2) (09/15) 

DISPOSAL OF WASTE MATERIALS: The contractor is required to demonstrate how all waste materials 

used in the production of sensitive records will be definitively destroyed (i.e., burning, pulping, shredding, 

macerating, or other suitable similar means). Electronic records must be definitively destroyed in a manner that 

prevents reconstruction. Definitively destroying the records means the material cannot be reassembled and used in 

an inappropriate manner in violation of law and regulations. Sensitive records are records that are exempted from 

disclosure by statue, including the Privacy Act or regulation. Contractor required to show proof of disposal. 

POSTAWARD CONFERENCE: Unless waived by the Contracting Officer, the total requirements of the job as

PRIVACY ACT 

(a) The contractor agrees: 

 (1) to comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 and the rules and regulations issued pursuant to the Act in the

141-S (R-2) (09/15) 

CRIMINAL SANCTIONS: It is incumbent upon the contractor to inform its officers and employees of the 

penalties for improper disclosure imposed by the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a. Specifically, 5 U.S.C. 552a 

(i)(1) which is made applicable to contractors by 5 U.S.C. 552a (m)(1), provides that any officer or employee of 

an agency, who by virtue of his/her employment of official position, has possession of or access to agency records

regulations established thereunder, and who knowing that disclosure of the specific material is prohibited, 

willfully discloses the material in any manner to any person or agency not entitled to receive it, shall be guilty of a 

misdemeanor and fined not more than $10,000.00. 

SERVICE CONTRACT ACT OF 1965 applies as Amended. 

(a) Definitions. “Act” as used in this clause, means the Service Contract Act of 1965, as amended (41 U.S.C. 

351, et seq.). 

“Contractor,” as used in this clause or in any subcontract, shall be deemed to refer to the subcontractor, 

except in the term “Government Prime Contractor.” 

“Service employee” means any person engaged in the performance of this contract other than any person 

employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as these terms are defined in 

Part 541 of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, as revised. It includes all such persons regardless of 

any contractual relationship that may be alleged to exist between a contractor or subcontractor and such 

persons. 

(b) Applicability. This contract is subject to the following provisions and to all other applicable provisions of 

the Act and regulations of the Secretary of Labor (29 CFR Part 4). This clause does not apply to contracts 

or subcontracts administratively exempted by the Secretary of Labor or exempted by 41 U.S.C. 356, 

interpreted in subpart C of 29 CFR part 4. 

(c) Compensation. (1) Each service employee employed in the performance of this contract by the Contractor 

or any subcontractor shall be paid not less than the minimum monetary wages and shall be furnished 

fringe benefits in accordance with the wages and fringe benefits determined by the Secretary of Labor, or 

authorized representative, as specified in any wage determination attached to this contract. 

(2)(i) If a wage determination is attached to this contract, the Contractor shall classify any class of 

service employee which is not listed therein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., 

the work to be performed is not performed by any classifications listed in the wage determination) 

so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such 

unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such conformed 

class of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished the fringe benefits as are 

determined pursuant to the procedures in this paragraph (c). 

(ii) This conforming procedure shall be initiated by the Contractor prior to the performance of contract 

work by the unlisted class of employee. The Contractor shall submit Standard Form (SF) 1444, 

Request For Authorization of Additional Classification and Rate, to the Contracting Officer no 

later than 30 days after the unlisted class of employee performs any contract work. The 

Contracting Officer shall review the proposed classification and rate and promptly submit the 

completed SF 1444 (which must include information regarding the agreement or disagreement of 

the employees’ authorized representatives or the employees themselves together with the agency 

recommendation), and all pertinent information to the Wage and Hour Division, Employment 

Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. The Wage and Hour Division will approve, 

modify, or disapprove the action or render a final determination in the event of disagreement 

within 30 days of receipt or will notify the Contracting Officer within 30 days of receipt that 

additional time is necessary. 
DLA On-Site Document Conversion Services Page 9 of 23 

141-S (R-2) (09/15) 

 (iii) The final determination of the conformance action by the Wage and Hour Division shall be 

transmitted to the Contracting Officer who shall promptly notify the Contractor of the action 

taken. Each affected employee shall be furnished by the Contractor with a written copy of such 

determination or it shall be posted as part of the wage determination. 

 (iv)(A) The process of establishing wage and fringe benefit rates that bear a reasonable relationship to 

those listed in a wage determination cannot be reduced to any single formula. The approach 

used may vary from wage determination to wage determination depending on the 

circumstances. Standard wage and salary administration practices which rank various job 

classifications by pay grade pursuant to point schemes or other job factors may, for example, 

be relied upon. Guidance may also be obtained from the way different jobs are rated under 

Federal pay systems (Federal Wage Board Pay System and the General Schedule) or from 

other wage determinations issued in the same locality. Basic to the establishment of any 

conformable wage rate(s) is the concept that a pay relationship should be maintained between 

job classifications based on the skill required and the duties performed. 

 (B) In the case of a contract modification, an exercise of an option, or extension of an existing 

contract, or in any other case where a Contractor succeeds a contract under which the 

classification in question was previously conformed pursuant to paragraph (c) of this clause, a 

new conformed wage rate and fringe benefits may be assigned to the conformed classification 

 by indexing (i.e., adjusting) the previous conformed rate and fringe benefits by an amount 

equal to the average (mean) percentage increase (or decrease, where appropriate) between the 

wages and fringe benefits specified for all classifications to be used on the contract which are 

listed in the current wage determination, and those specified for the corresponding 

classifications in the previously applicable wage determination. Where conforming actions are 

accomplished in accordance with this paragraph prior to the performance of contract work by 

the unlisted class of employees, the Contractor shall advise the Contracting Officer of the 

action taken but the other procedures in subdivision (c)(2)(ii) of this clause need not be 

followed. 

 (C) No employee engaged in performing work on this contract shall in any event be paid less than 

the currently applicable minimum wage specified under section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor 

Standards Act of 1938, as amended. 

 (v) The wage rate and fringe benefits finally determined under this subparagraph (c)(2) of this clause 

shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day on which contract 

work is performed by them in the classification. Failure to pay the unlisted employees the 

compensation agreed upon by the interested parties and/or finally determined by the Wage and 

Hour Division retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a 

violation of the Act and this contract. 

(vi) Upon discovery of failure to comply with subparagraph (c)(2) of this clause, the Wage and Hour 

Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe 

benefits which shall be retroactive to the date such class or classes of employees commenced 

contract work. 

(3) Adjustment of Compensation. If the term of this contract is more than 1 year, the minimum monetary 

wages and fringe benefits required to be paid or furnished there under to service employees under this 

contract shall be subject to adjustment after 1 year and not less than once every 2 years, under wage 

determinations issued by the Wage and Hour Division. 
DLA On-Site Document Conversion Services Page 10 of 23 

141-S (R-2) (09/15) 

(d) Obligation to Furnish Fringe Benefits. The Contractor or subcontractor may discharge the obligation to 

furnish fringe benefits specified in the attachment or determined under subparagraph (c)(2) by furnishing 

equivalent combinations of bona fide fringe benefits, or by making equivalent or differential cash 

payments, only in accordance with subpart D of 29 CFR Part 4. 

(e) Minimum Wage. In the absence of a minimum wage attachment for this contract, neither the Contractor 

nor any subcontractor under this contract shall pay any person performing work under this contract 

(regardless of whether the person is a service employee) less than the minimum wage specified by section 

6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. Nothing in this clause shall relieve the Contractor or any 

 subcontractor of any other obligation under law or contract for payment of a higher wage to any 

employee. 

(f) Successor Contracts. If this contract succeeds a contract subject to the Act, under which substantially the 

same services were furnished in the same locality and service employees were paid wages and fringe 

benefits provided for in a collective bargaining agreement, in the absence of the minimum wage 

attachment for this contract setting forth such collectively bargained wage rates and fringe benefits, 

neither the Contractor nor any subcontractor under this contract shall pay any service employee 

performing any of the contract work (regardless of whether or not such employee was employed under the 

predecessor contract), less than the wages and fringe benefits provided for in such collective bargaining 

agreement, to which such employee would be entitled if employed under the predecessor contract, 

including accrued wages and fringe benefits and any prospective increases in wages and fringe benefits 

provided for under such agreement. No Contractor or subcontractor under this contract may be relieved 

 of the foregoing obligation unless the limitations of 29 CFR 4.1b(b) apply or unless the Secretary of 

Labor or the Secretary’s authorized representative finds, after a hearing as provided in 29 CFR 4.10 that 

the wages and/or fringe benefits provided for in such agreement are substantially at variance with those 

which prevail for services of a character similar in the locality, or determines, as provided in 29 CFR 

4.11, that the collective bargaining agreement applicable to service employees employed under the 

predecessor contract was not entered into as a result of arm’s length negotiations. Where it is found in 

accordance with the review procedures provided in 29 CFR 4.10 and/or 4.11 and parts 6 and 8 that some 

or all of the wages and/or fringe benefits contained in a predecessor Contractor's collective bargaining 

agreement are substantially at variance with those which prevail for services of a character similar in the 

locality, and/or that the collective bargaining agreement applicable to service employees employed under 

the predecessor contract was not entered into as a result of arm’s length negotiations, the Department will 

issue a new or revised determination setting forth the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits. Such 

determination shall be made a part of the contract or subcontract, in accordance with the decision of the 

Administrator, the Administrative Law Judge, or the Board of Service Contract Appeals, as the case may 

be, irrespective of whether such issuance occurs prior to or after the award of a contract or subcontract 

(53 Comp. Gen. 401 (1973)). In the case of a wage determination issued solely as a result of a finding of 

substantial variance, such determination shall be effective as of the date of the final administrative 

decision. 

(g) Notification to employees. The Contractor and any subcontractor under this contract shall notify each 

service employee commencing work on this contract of the minimum monetary wage and any fringe 

benefits required to be paid pursuant to this contract, or shall post the wage determinations attached to this 

contract. The poster provided by the Department of Labor (Publication WH 1313) shall be posted in a 

prominent and accessible place at the worksite. Failure to comply with this requirement is a violation of 

section 2(a)(4) of the Act and of this contract. 

(h) Safe and Sanitary Working Conditions. The Contractor or subcontractor shall not permit any part of the 

services called for by this contract to be performed in buildings or surroundings or under working 

conditions provided by or under the control or supervision of the Contractor or subcontractor which are 

unsanitary or hazardous, or dangerous to the health or safety of the service employees. The Contractor or 

subcontractor shall comply with the safety and health standards applied under 29 CFR Part 1925.

141-S (R-2) (09/15) 

(i) Records. (1) The Contractor and each subcontractor performing work subject to the Act shall make and 

maintain for 3 years from the completion of the work and make them available for inspection and 

transcription by authorized representatives of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards 

Administration a record of the following: 

 

 (i) For each employee subject to the Act-

(B) Correct work classification or classifications, rate or rates of monetary wages paid and fringe 

benefits provided, rate or rates of payments in lieu of fringe benefits, and total daily or weekly 

compensation; 

(C) Daily and weekly hours worked by each employee; and, 

(D) Any deductions, rebates, or refunds from the total daily or weekly compensation of each 

employee. 

(ii) For those classes of service employees not included in any wage determination attached to this 

contract, wage rates or fringe benefits determined by the interested parties or by the Administrator or 

authorized representative under the terms of paragraph (c) of this clause. A copy of the report 

required by subdivision (c)(2)(ii) of this clause will fulfill this requirement. 

(iii) Any list of the predecessor Contractor’s employees which had been furnished to the Contractor as 

prescribed by paragraph (n) of this clause. 

(2) The Contractor shall also make available a copy of this contract for inspection or transcription by 

authorized representatives of the Wage and Hour Division. 

(3) Failure to make and maintain or to make available these records for inspection and transcription shall 

be a violation of the regulations and this contract, and in the case of failure to produce these records, 

the Contracting Officer, upon direction of the Department of Labor and notification to the Contractor, 

shall take action to cause suspension of any further payment or advance of funds until the violation 

ceases. 

(4) The Contractor shall permit authorized representatives of the Wage and Hour Division to conduct 

interviews with employees at the worksite during normal working hours. 

(j) Pay Periods. The Contractor shall unconditionally pay to each employee subject to the Act all wages due 

free and clear and without subsequent deduction (except as otherwise provided by law or regulations, 29 

CFR part 4), rebate, or kickback on any account. These payments shall be made no later than one pay 

period following the end of the regular pay period in which the wages were earned or accrued. A pay 

period under this Act may not be of any duration longer than semi-monthly. 
DLA On-Site Document Conversion Services Page 12 of 23 

141-S (R-2) (09/15) 

(k) Withholding of Payment and Termination of Contract. The Contracting Officer shall withhold or cause to 

be withheld from the Government Prime Contractor under this or any other Government contract with the 

Prime Contractor such sums as an appropriate official of the Department of Labor, requests or such sums 

as an appropriate official of the Department of Labor, requests or such sums as the Contracting Officer 

decides may be necessary to pay underpaid employees employed by the Contractor or subcontractor. In 

the event of failure to pay any employees subject to the Act all or part of the wages or fringe benefits due 

under the Act, the Contracting Officer may, after authorization or by direction of the Department of Labor 

and written notification to the Contractor, take action to cause suspension of any further payment or 

advance of funds until such violations have ceased. Additionally, any failure to comply with the 

requirements of this clause may be grounds for termination of the right to proceed with the contract work. 

In such event, the Government may enter into other contracts or arrangements for completion of the work, 

charging the Contractor in default with any additional cost. 

(l) Subcontracts. The Contractor agrees to insert this clause in all subcontracts subject to the Act. 

(m) Collective Bargaining Agreements Applicable to Service Employees. If wages to be paid or fringe 

benefits to be furnished any service employees employed by the Government Prime Contractor or any 

subcontractor under the contract are provided for in a collective bargaining agreement which is or will be 

effective during any period in which the contract is being performed, the Government Prime Contractor 

shall report such fact to the Contracting Officer, together with full information as to the application and 

accrual of such wages and fringe benefits, including any prospective increases, to service employees 

engaged in work on the contract, and a copy of the collective bargaining agreement. Such report shall be 

made upon commencing performance of the contract, in the case of collective bargaining agreements 

effective at such time, and in the case of such agreements of provisions or amendments thereof effective 

 at a later time during the period of contract performance, such agreements shall be reported promptly after 

negotiations thereof. 

(n) Seniority List. Not less than 10 days prior to completion of any contract being performed at a Federal 

facility where service employees may be retained in the performance of the succeeding contract and 

subject to a wage determination which contains vacation or other benefit provisions based upon length of 

service with a Contractor (predecessor) or successor (29 CFR 4.173), the incumbent Prime Contractor 

shall furnish the Contracting Officer a certified list of names of all service employees on the Contractor's 

or subcontractor's payroll during the last month of contract performance. Such list shall also contain 

anniversary dates of employment on the contract either with the current or predecessor Contractors of 

each such service employee. The Contracting Officer shall turn over such list to the successor Contractor 

at the commencement of the succeeding contract. 

(o) Rulings and Interpretations. Rulings and interpretations of the Act are contained in Regulations, 29 CFR 

part 4. 

(p) Contractor’s Certification. (1) By entering into this contract, the Contractor (and officials thereof) 

certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has a substantial interest in the 

Contractor’s firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of the 

sanctions imposed under section 5 of the Act. 

(2) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a

(q) Variations, Tolerances, and Exemptions Involving Employment. Notwithstanding any of the provisions 

in paragraphs (b) through (o) of this clause, the following employees may be employed in accordance 

with the following variations, tolerances, and exemptions, which the Secretary of Labor, pursuant to 

section 4(b) of the Act prior to its amendment by Pub. L.92-473, found to be necessary and proper in the 

public interest or to avoid serious impairment of the conduct of Government business: 

(1) Apprentices, student-learners, and workers whose earning capacity is impaired by age, physical or 

mental deficiency or injury may be employed at wages lower than the minimum wages otherwise 

required by section 2(a)(1) or 2(b)(1) of the Act, without diminishing any fringe benefits or cash 

payments in lieu thereof required under section 2(a)(2) of the Act, in accordance with the conditions 

and procedures prescribed for the employment of apprentices, student-learners, handicapped persons, 

and handicapped clients of sheltered workshops under section 14 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 

1938, in the regulations issued by the Administrator (29 CFR Parts 520, 521, 524, and 525). 

(2) The Administrator will issue certificates under the Act for the employment of apprentices, studentlearners, handicapped persons, or handicapped clients of sheltered workshops not subject to the Fair 

Labor Standards Act of 1938, or subject to different minimum rates of pay under the two Acts, 

authorizing appropriate rates of minimum wages (but without changing requirements concerning 

fringe benefits or supplementary cash payments in lieu thereof), applying procedures prescribed by 

the applicable regulations issued under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 CFR Parts 520, 521, 

524, 525); 

(3) The Administrator will also withdraw, annul, or cancel such certificates in accordance with the 

regulations in 29 CFR parts 525 and 528. 

(r) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they 

perform when they are employed and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program 

registered with a State apprenticeship agency which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor, or if 

no such recognized agency exists in a State, under a program registered with the Bureau of 

Apprenticeship and Training, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Any 

employee who is not registered as an apprentice in an approved program shall be paid the wage rate and 

fringe benefits contained in the applicable wage determination for the journeyman classifications of work 

actually performed. The wage rates paid apprentices shall not be less than the wage rate for their level of 

progress set forth in the registered program, expressed as the appropriate percentage of the journeyman's 

rate contained in the applicable wage determination. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen 

employed on the contract work in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to 

the contractor as to his entire work force under the registered program. 

(s) Tips. An employee engaged in an occupation in which the employee customarily and regularly receives 

more than $30 a month in tips may have the amount of these tips credited by the employer against the 

minimum wage required by section 2(a)(1) or section 2(b)(1) of the Act, in accordance with Regulations, 

29 CFR Part 531. However, the amount of credit shall not exceed $1.34 per hour beginning January 1, 

1981. To use this provision- 

(1) The employer must inform tipped employees about this tip credit allowance before the credit is 

utilized; 

(2) The employees must be allowed to retain all tips (individually or through a pooling arrangement and 

regardless of whether the employer elects to take a credit for tips received); 

(3) The employer must be able to show by records that the employee receives at least the applicable 

Service Contract Act minimum wage through the combination of direct wages and tip credit; and 
DLA On-Site Document Conversion Services Page 14 of 23 

141-S (R-2) (09/15) 

(4) The use of such tip credit must have been permitted under any predecessor collective bargaining 

agreement applicable by virtue of section 4(c) of the Act. 

(t) Disputes Concerning Labor Standards. The U.S. Department of Labor has set forth in 29 CFR parts 4, 6, 

and 8 procedures for resolving disputes concerning labor standards requirements. Such disputes shall be 

resolved in accordance with those procedures and not the Disputes clause of this contract. Disputes 

within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the Contractor (or any of its subcontractors) 

and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives. 

NOTE: SPECIAL EMPHASIS TO THE AFFECT THAT EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION MUST BE AT 

TIME AND HALF. (REFERENCE: OVERTIME PAY/WAGE HOUR PUBLICATION 1313). 

The contractor shall pay the determined wage rate and fringe benefits to all employees performing in the stated 

classification, which includes annual leave and pay for holidays as described in the Service Contract Act of 1965 

and the attached wage determination. The Government is not responsible for these benefits. 

PAYMENT: During the first week of each month, the contractor shall submit a monthly itemized statement for 

billing for all work performed (per print order) during the previous month (including all required backup 

documentation) to the ordering agency for examination and certification as to the correctness of the billing. 

Contractor must submit billing to the DLA representative specified on the print order. 

The monthly billing statement (per print order) must include all work performed at all required locations specified 

on the print order. Contractor must break down the work performed at each location required on a single print 

order.

U.S. Department of Labor

The purpose of the discussion below is to advise contractors which are subject to the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act or 

the Service Contract Act of the principal provisions of these acts. 

Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act 

General Provisions — This act applies to contracts which exceed or may exceed $10,000 entered into by any agency or 

instrumentality of the United States for the manufacture or furnishing of materials, supplies, articles, or equipment. The act 

establishes minimum wage, maximum hours, and safety and health standards for work on such contracts, and prohibits the 

employment on contract work of convict labor (unless certain conditions are met) and children under 16 years of age. The 

employment of homeworkers (except homeworkers with disabilities employed under the provisions of Regulations, 29 CFR 

Part 525) on a covered contract is not permitted. 

In addition to its coverage of prime contractors, the act under certain circumstances applies to secondary contractors 

performing work under contracts awarded by the Government prime contractor. 

All provisions of the act except the safety and health requirements are administered by the Wage and Hour Division. 

Minimum Wage — Covered employees must currently be paid not less than the Federal minimum wage established in 

section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. 

Overtime — Covered workers must be paid at least one and one-half times their basic rate of pay for all hours worked in 

excess of 40 a week. Overtime is due on the basis of the total hours spent in all work, Government and non-Government, 

performed by the employee in any week in which covered work is performed. 

Child Labor — Employers may protect themselves against unintentional child labor violations by obtaining certificates of 

age. State employment or age certificates are acceptable. 

Safety and Health — No covered work may be performed in plants, factories, buildings, or surroundings or under work 

conditions that are unsanitary or hazardous or dangerous to the health and safety of the employees engaged in the 

performance of the contract. The safety and health provisions of the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act are administered by 

the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. 

Posting — During the period that covered work is being performed on a contract subject to the act, the contractor must post 

copies of Notice to Employees Working on Government Contracts in a sufficient number of places to permit employees to 

observe a copy on the way to or from their place of employment. 

Responsibility for Secondary Contractors — Prime contractors are liable for violations of the act committed by their 

covered secondary contractors. 

 EXHIBIT A Page 2 of 3 
DLA On-Site Document Conversion Services Page 26 of 23 

141-S (R-2) (09/15) 

Service Contract Act 

General Provisions — The Service Contract Act applies to every contract entered into by the United States or the District of 

Columbia, the principal purpose of which is to furnish services in the United States through the use of service employees. 

Contractors and subcontractors performing on such Federal contracts must observe minimum wage and safety and health 

standards, and must maintain certain records, unless a specific exemption applies. 

Wages and Fringe Benefits — Every service employee performing any of the Government contract work under a service 

contract in excess of $2,500 must be paid not less than the monetary wages, and must be furnished the fringe benefits, which 

the Secretary of Labor has determined to be prevailing in the locality for the classification in which the employee is working 

or the wage rates and fringe benefits (including any accrued or prospective wage rates and fringe benefits) contained in a 

predecessor contractor's collective bargaining agreement. The wage rates and fringe benefits required are usually specified in 

the contract but in no case may employees doing work necessary for the performance of the contract be paid less than the 

minimum wage established in section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. 

Service contracts which do not exceed $2,500 are not subject to prevailing rate determinations or to the safety and health 

requirements of the act. However, the act does require that employees performing work on such contracts be paid not less 

than the minimum wage rate established in section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. 

Overtime — The Fair Labor Standards Act and the Contract Work Hours Safety Standards Act may require the payment of 

overtime at time and one-half the regular rate of pay for all hours work on the contract in excess of 40 a week. The Contract 

Work Hours Safety Standards Act is more limited in scope than the Fair Labor Standards Act and generally applies to 

Government contracts in excess of $100,000 that require or involve the employment of laborers, mechanics, guards, 

watchmen. 

Safety and Health — The act provides that no part of the services in contracts in excess of $2,500 may be performed in 

buildings or surroundings or under working conditions, provided by or under the control or supervision of the contractor or 

subcontractor, which are 

unsanitary or hazardous or dangerous to the health or safety of service employees engaged to furnish the services. The safety 

and health provisions of the Service Contract Act are administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. 

Notice to Employees — On the date a service employee commences work on a contract in excess of $2,500, the contractor 

(or sub-contractor) must provide the employee with a notice of the compensation required by the act. The posting of the 

notice (including any applicable wage determination) contained on the reverse in a location where it may be seen by all 

employees performing on the contract will satisfy this requirement. 

Notice in Subcontracts — The contractor is required to insert in all subcontracts the labor standards clauses specified by the 

regulations in 29 CFR Part 4 for Federal service contracts exceeding $2,500. 

Responsibility for Secondary Contractors — Prime contractors are liable for violations of the act committed by their 

covered secondary contractors. 

Other Obligations — Observance of the labor standards of these acts does not relieve the employer of any obligation he may 

have under any other laws or agreements providing for higher labor standards. 

Additional Information — Additional Information and copies of the acts and applicable regulations and interpretations may 

be obtained from the nearest office of the Wage and Hour Division or the National Office in Washington D.C. Information 

pertaining to safety and health standards may be obtained from the nearest office of the Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration or the National Office in Washington, D.C.]
