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

Postconsumer material means a material or finished product that has served its intended use and has been discarded 

for disposal or recovery, having completed its life as a consumer item. Postconsumer material is a part of the broader 

category of “recovered material.”

Recovered material means waste materials and by-products recovered or diverted from solid waste, but the term does 

not include those materials and by-products generated from, and commonly reused within, an original manufacturing 

process.

(b) The Contractor, on completion of this contract, shall--

(1) Estimate the percentage of the total recovered material content for EPA-designated item(s) delivered and/or used 

in contract performance, including, if applicable, the percentage of post-consumer material content; and

(2) Submit this estimate to 127 CES/CEEM. 

(End of clause)

52.225-9 BUY AMERICAN ACT—CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (FEB 2009)

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

Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item— 

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is--

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in 

which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in section 3 of the Shipping Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C. App. 1702), such as 

agricultural products and petroleum products.

Component means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into a construction material.

Construction material means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a 

subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site 

preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency 

lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or 

work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material 

regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. 

Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

Cost of components means--

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of 

incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any 

applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, 

including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but 

excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the 

manufacture of the construction material.

Domestic construction material means--

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if--

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost 

of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability 

determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

Foreign construction material means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

United States means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference. 

(1) This clause implements the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a-10d) by providing a preference for domestic 

construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 431, the component test of the Buy American Act is waived for 

construction material that is a COTS item (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic 

construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to the construction material or components listed by the Government as follows: 

to be specified on individual Task Orders.

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause 

if the Government determines that

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction 

material subject to the requirements of the Buy American Act is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds 

the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American Act to a particular construction material would be 

impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and 

reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American Act. (1)(i) Any Contractor request to use 

foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information 

for Government evaluation of the request, including--

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph 

(b)(3) of this clause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price 

comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty 

(whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor 

could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before 

contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a 

determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American Act applies and the 

Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the 

contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the 

unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential 

established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American Act applies, use of foreign 

construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American Act.

(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the 

Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of 

suppliers:

SPECIAL MATOC CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

SECTION 00800

SC1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

1.1. The purpose of this Multiple-Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) is to provide horizontal construction 

services for a broad range of horizontal construction projects in support of National Guard Facilities in the State of 

Michigan, primarily in support of National Guard Facilities in/around Selfridge ANGB, Mi. Orders will generally 

include various Horizontal Construction, Repair and Maintenance projects but may also include Military 

Construction (MILCON) projects involving a variety of trades. Work performed under these contracts will include 

but not limited to the following general project categories: Horizontal Construction: Airfield and road/parking lot 

pavement, asphalt, concrete, joint repairs, full depth repairs and patching down to overlays and surface grinding and 

pavement marking; Drainage, erosions and sediment control, storm water collection systems, oil-water separators, oil 

water separator maintenance and retaining walls; Duct banks for communication and electrical and manholes, airfield 

lighting systems, exterior lighting, water and gas distribution systems; Sidewalks, curb and gutter, pavement 

landscaping and fencing. All will be in accordance with individual task order requirements, specifications and 

drawings provided with each project or master specifications.

1.2. As requirements develop, Requests for quotations/Proposals (RFQ/RFP) for Task Orders will be issued on a 

competitive or single source basis, at the Government's discretion. Task Orders will vary in size from $200 to 

$5,000,000 and will be awarded and issued by the individual task orders awarded and administered by duly 

appointed federal contracting officers. 

1.3. Upon award of the basic contract the contractor will be issued an initial task order for $200.00. Upon 

receipt of this order contractors shall submit their required Master Safety and Quality Control Plans to the 

Contracting Officer within 30 days. (See Section 00800 and 01000 for plan requirements.) Plans submitted with an 

offeror’s proposal are not considered as meeting this requirement. Upon notification that the submitted plans are 

deemed acceptable the contractor shall invoice for the initial order. In the event a contractor fails to submit the 

required plan(s) within 60 days of the order the Government reserves the right to unilaterally cancel the MATOC 

contract at no cost to the Government.

1.4. The Government reserves the right to issue additional solicitations and award additional contracts within the 

activities covered by this contract. In this event, new MATOC contractors, in accordance with the terms of their 

contracts, may compete for Task Orders with the Contractors selected under this solicitation. 

SC2. PERIOD OF SERVICE

2.1. Basic and Option Periods: 

2.1.1. Each contract will include a base period; not-to exceed (NTE) two years and three option periods 

(NTE one year each), for a total contract performance period NTE five years. 

2.1.2. Maximum value of all projects awarded under each MATOC contract will be limited to $20 

million in Task Orders per contract period (base year plus all option years). 

SC3. TASK ORDER LIMITATIONS (Reference FAR 52.216-19) 

3.1. Minimum Order. When the Government requires services covered by this contract in an amount less than 

$200 the Government is not obligated to purchase, nor is the Contractor obligated to furnish, those services under the 

contract. The minimum guaranteed task order amount for the entire contract period is $200 per IDIQ contract 

awarded and will be issued at time of the basic contract award. 

NGB FOIA Reading Room 

Posted: April 19, 2011 

Page 26 of 88

FOIA Requested Record #J-11-0002 

Released by National Guard Bureau
3.2. Maximum Order. The maximum Task Order limitation is $5 million, excluding subsequent in scope 

modifications. The Government may combine several projects, as indicated by separate Statements of Work and 

individual line items, in one Task Order, as required. The Contractor is not obligated to honor:

(a) Any order for a single Task Order less than $200. 

(b) Any order for a single Task Order in excess of the limit authorized in the National Guard Federal 

Acquisition Regulations Supplement (NGFARS) (approved up to $5 million);

(c) A series of orders totaling more than $20 million. 

3.3. The Government at its option may in a rare case include projects exceeding $5 Million. However, 

contractors will not be obligated to compete for nor required to accept such task orders under the general terms of 

the contract.

3.4. This is not a requirements contract. 

SC4. ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR COMPETITIVE TASK ORDERS

4.1. Requests for Quotation/Proposals (RFQ)/ (RFP)

4.1.1. When the Government requires work under the MATOC, an RFQ or RFP will be issued, as appropriate, 

normally in the form of a letter “NOTICE OF PROPOSED TASK ORDER”. Projects will be of varying size and 

complexity. The request will include information such as a, statement of work, guide specifications, drawings, 

attachments, information pertaining to a site visit and any other requirements for submission (e.g. proposal 

requirements, price schedule, etc.). Project may include, but are not limited to, complete plans and specifications for 

all elements of work or limited specifications. When complete plans and specifications are not provided, the Master 

Specifications will apply for elements of work not addressed by a project specific specification.

4.1.2. The basis of award will be a conforming offer, the price or cost of which may or may not be the lowest. 

Past performance on work completed under these contracts, or work completed for the National Guard in the State of 

Michigan may be considered. In rare instances technical factors may be considered. The basis for award of each 

task order will be stated in the RFQ/RFP. 

4.1.2.1. When necessary, option line items will be included in the Task Order RFQ/RFP. The task order 

proposal/quote process is not an Invitation for Bid (IFB). Therefore, additive bid items (ABI) are not applicable to 

this process. However, work defined in the options of the task order RFP/RFQ is normally similar to ABIs common 

in the IFB process. 

4.2. Response to “NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROJECT “

4.2.1. Upon receipt of the notification from the Contracting Officer, the MATOC contractors should respond by 

attending the project on-site conference. The project on-site conference may be scheduled as early as two days from 

issuance of the “NOTICE OF PROPOSED TASK ORDER”, or 120 minutes under emergency conditions. 

4.2.2. Notification will normally be by email. MATOC contractors shall keep an up-to-date email address on 

file with the Contracting Officer at all times. Backup addresses are encouraged. Upon notification the contractor 

shall acknowledge receipt of the offering by return email. A Contracting Officer may make only one attempt to 

email a proposal offering to a MATOC contractor. No other means of notification will normally be used. The 

Government will not be responsible for lack of notification(s) for contractors who fail to maintain current 

email addresses, or acknowledge offerings. 

4.3. Task Order Competition

NGB FOIA Reading Room 

Posted: April 19, 2011 

Page 27 of 88

FOIA Requested Record #J-11-0002 

Released by National Guard Bureau
4.3.1. A wide variety of projects, determined by the contracting officer to be within the scope of this contract, 

will be offered to MATOC contractors for the purpose of providing a price or best value proposal. Individual Task 

Order awards on those projects will be based on competitive proposals received exclusively from MATOC 

contractors.

4.3.2. To satisfy the contracting agency’s Small Business Administration contracting goals/targets, the 

Contracting Officer may consider such factors as achievement of Section 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned 

Business and HUB Zone goals/targets. Individual projects may be further set-aside for participation exclusively by 

all awardees in the specified socio-economic group. 

4.3.3. The emerging small business (ESB) reserve amount is currently $30,000. Projects with an estimated 

value equal to or less than the ESB reserve amount will be offered only to ESB contractors, with the exception of the 

initial Task Order, which will be issued to all awardees.

4.3.4. All eligible MATOC contractors, unless a task order is set-aside for ESB or other socio-economic group, 

within their awarded Areas of Consideration, will be provided a fair opportunity to compete for each project offered 

under this contract unless the following (FAR 16.505(b) (2)) exceptions apply. 

1) The agency’s need for the services or supplies is of such urgency that providing such opportunity to all such 

contractors would result in unacceptable delays;

2) Only one such contractor is capable of providing the services or supplies at the level of quality required 

because the services or supplies ordered are unique or highly specialized;

3) The task or delivery order should be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy or efficiency 

because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees 

were given a fair opportunity pursuant to the procedures in this clause to be considered for the original 

order; or

4) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee. 

4.3.5. The Contracting Officer may consider such factors that the Contracting Officer, in the exercise of sound 

business judgment, believes are relevant to the placement of orders. 

4.3.6. Timely performance by a MATOC contractor is very important. Failure to prosecute the work 

diligently on a currently awarded task order will be cause for the Contracting Officer not to include the 

contractor in the competitive fair-opportunity pool for future task orders. When the contractor’s delinquency 

has been cured, it will be considered for competition in future task orders.

4.4. Response to “NOTICE OF PROPOSED TASK ORDER” 

4.4.1. MATOC contractors are expected to submit an offer on all projects offered. In the event a contractor is 

unable to submit an offer in response to a “NOTICE OF PROPOSED TASK ORDER”, hereafter referred to as 

RFQ/RFP, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer electronically via e-mail. 

4.4.2. In the event a contractor fails to submit an offer on a reasonable number of projects offered, as 

determined by the contracting officer, the contracting officer will notify the contractor when their offer record 

indicates an unacceptable number of offerings. In the event the contractor fails to correct this situation, the 

Government reserves the right to unilaterally cancel the MATOC contract without further obligation. 

4.4.3. The Contractor will not be reimbursed for proposal preparation, attendance during negotiations, site 

visits, walk-through or other pre-Task Order costs.

Page 28 of 88

FOIA Requested Record #J-11-0002 

Released by National Guard Bureau
4.5. Site Visits 

Offeror’s attendance at walk-through (site visits) is considered vital to preparation of competitive and cost-effective 

offers, and to understanding the total results desired by the Government. In some cases a walk-through may be 

determined mandatory in order for a contractor to submit a proposal. Such requirement will be stated in the 

RFQ/RFP. However, failure to attend walk-through may not be used as an excuse for omission or miscalculation in 

offers. 

4.6. Proposal Contents. 

4.6.1. The basis of award of each task order will be stated in the RFQ/RFP. Depending upon the requirements 

of each Task Order, the Contractor will typically provide a price proposal in response to an RFQ/RFP. Contractors 

shall respond within the number of calendar days stated in the RFQ/RFP by submitting a proposal to the Contracting 

Officer in accordance with requirements stated in the RFQ/RFP.

4.6.2. Proposal Pricing Schedules. The Government's payment for the items listed in the Pricing Schedules of 

individual Task Orders will constitute full compensation to the Contractor for-- (1) Furnishing all plant, labor, 

equipment, services, appliances, and materials; and (2) Performing all operations required to complete the work in 

conformity with the drawings and specifications. The contractor shall include in the prices for the items listed in the 

Pricing Schedule all costs for work in the specifications, whether or not specifically listed in the Pricing Schedule.

4.6.3. Deviations and Alternate Proposals. Offerors shall specifically identify all deviations from the minimum 

RFQ/RFP requirements in a cover letter in a section entitled "Alternate Proposal” or “Deviations." This requirement 

applies for all proposal revisions and Final Proposal Revisions. Proposed alternates/deviations shall specifically 

address in detail the alternate and rationale for proposing. Alternate solutions and deviations shall include separate 

pricing information. If an alternate/deviation is proposed, the work as specified in the solicitation must also be 

priced. 

4.6.4. The non-cost factors and price factors will vary depending on the unique requirements for each Task 

Order. In addition to price, the RFP/RFQ may indicate in the offering other factors (Past Performance and/or 

Technical considerations) that will be considered in the evaluation offer. 

4.6.4.1. Past Performance, within a five (5) year period, on previously awarded Task Orders under the 

MATOC or work on any awards completed for the National Guard in the State of Michigan may be considered. Past 

performance will be evaluated in terms of quality, timeliness, management effectiveness or other factors that the 

Contracting Officer determines to be relevant to award on a particular Task Order. In rare instances, technical factors 

may be considered. 

4.7. Task Order Evaluation Method and Procedures

4.7.1. The Government intends to select the most advantageous, responsive, and responsible proposal, price and 

other factors considered. Each RFQ/RFP will describe the criteria to be utilized in evaluating Task Order proposals. 

4.7.2. Discrepancies in the Evaluation of Offers Submitted in Response to RFQ/RFPs for Individual Task 

Orders

4.7.2.1. For the purpose of initial evaluations of offers proposed for individual Task Orders, the following 

will be utilized in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of pricing schedule as submitted by the 

Offeror: (1) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected; (2) Discrepancy between unit price and extended 

price, the unit price will govern; (3) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected; (4) Apparent errors 

in addition of lump-sum and extended prices will be corrected.

Page 29 of 88

FOIA Requested Record #J-11-0002 

Released by National Guard Bureau
4.7.2.1.1. For purposes of price evaluation, the Government will proceed on the assumption that the 

Offeror intends the proposed price to be evaluated on basis of the unit prices, the totals arrived at by resolution of 

arithmetic discrepancies as provided above.

4.7.2.1.2. These correction procedures shall not be used to resolve any ambiguity concerning which 

price is low.

4.7.3. Evaluation of Option Reference (FAR 52.217-5). When option line items are included in the Task Order 

RFQ/RFP, the Government will evaluate offers for the purpose of awarding Task Orders by adding the total price for 

all options to the total price for the basic requirement, unless specifically stated otherwise in the Task Order 

Offering. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). 

4.7.4. The right is also reserved to reject any and all offers.

4.8. Award Decision 

4.8.1. Whenever possible, award will be made without discussions. 

4.8.2. If discussions are required, each MATOC contractor will be requested to provide a final proposal 

revision, unless eliminated from discussions through the establishment of a competitive range. 

4.8.3. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the 

competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer 

may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient 

competition among the most highly rated proposals. 

4.8.4. Task Order award will be made based on the best value to the Government in accordance with the criteria 

described in the RFQ/RFP. When price is the only factor considered, award will be based on the lowest reasonable 

and realistic price received. Proposals unrealistically high or low in price, when compared to the Government 

estimate, and market conditions evidenced by other competitive proposals received, may be indicative of an inherent 

lack of understanding of the solicitation requirements and may result in proposal rejection without discussion.

4.8.5. The award will be a firm fixed-priced Task Order with a specific completion date or performance period. 

When Options are included in the Schedule, and the options(s) is not exercised at time of award, the Task Order will 

specify the number of days after notice to proceed for exercising the Options. Consideration in order completion will 

be made when specifying these days. Options when exercised shall not extend the original performance period of the 

Task Order. 

4.9. Task Order Issuance

4.9.1. Task Orders will be issued on DD Form 1155. Orders may be placed via mail, telephone, facsimile or 

electronic means. If mailed, a Task Order is considered "issued" when the Government deposits the order in the 

mail. Orders may be issued orally, by mail, by facsimile, or by electronic methods. 

The appropriate issuing, administration, and payment offices will be cited on each Task Order.

4.9.2. Plans and Specifications. The Contractor will be provided either an electronic copy of the Statement of 

Work or one paper copy of the Statement of Work (with pertinent supplemental specifications and construction 

drawings as applicable) upon issue of each Task Order. All further reproduction shall be at the Contractor's expense. 

The Government may provide these as hard copy or as electronic media, such as web postings, e-mail or CD ROM, 

at its option.

4.9.3. Notice to Proceed (NTP) will be issued separately after receipt of acceptable performance and payment 

bonds.

will be used:

1) An urgent need exists and seeking competition would result in unacceptable delay

2) Only one Contractor is capable at the level of quality required because the requirement is unique or highly 

specialized

3) A sole source is in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already

acceptance period, the Government may request an extension of the contractor’s proposal acceptance period without 

further competition for the project or re-solicit the project at its option. If the proposal acceptance period is not

Released by National Guard Bureau
b. The organization of the specifications into divisions, sections, and articles, and the arrangement of the 

drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the work among Sub-contractors or in establishing the extent of 

the work to be performed by any trade.

1.02 WORK SCHEDULING

a. Normal base work hours for the Contractor will be between the hours of 7:15 AM through 4:00 PM for 

Selfridge ANG Base excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal Holidays. Should the Contractor desire to work 

during periods other than above, he must notify the Contracting Officer three (3) working days in advance of his 

intention to work during other periods to allow assignment of additional inspection forces and for notification of fire, 

security and safety. When the Contracting Officer determines that they are reasonably available, he may authorize 

the Contractor to perform work during periods other than normal duty hours/days. However, if inspectors are 

required to perform in excess of their normal duty hours/days solely for the benefit of the Contractor, the actual cost 

of the inspection, at overtime rates, will be charged to the Contractor and will be deducted from the final payment of 

the Contract amount. (Note: If applicable, at time of award this paragraph will be modified to the negotiated 

schedule for this project).

 b. The following Federal legal Holidays are observed by are:

New Year's Day 1 January

Martin Luther's King's Birthday Third Monday of January

new sites, returning to sites for follow-up work on a phased work plan, notification to the Contracting Officer’s 

Representative is sufficient. Notification should be by personal contact; however, advance notification may be by 

telephone, or in writing, and should be accomplished sufficiently in advance to allow scheduling of inspection forces. 

The purpose of the above precautions is to ensure construction inspection and recording of work proceedings. 

e. The organization of the specifications into divisions, sections, and articles, and the arrangement of the 

drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the work among Sub-contractors or in establishing the extent of 

the work to be performed by any trade.

may enter. It is, therefore, required that control be exercised over Contractor personnel while working on the Base. 

To maintain this control, a listing of all Contractor personnel who will be working under the contract, must be 

submitted to the Contracting Officer prior to the start of work under the contract. The preferred method of 

providing this list is via email, to the contract administrator, unless notified otherwise. The listing shall include, but

products purchased each year in each of U.S. EPA's 'Guideline Item' categories shall contain recovered materials 

meeting U.S. EPA's Guideline Criteria." This document contains guidelines for implementing the RCRA, EO, 

DOD, and Air Force requirements.

1.5 REGULATORY BACKGROUND

Section 6002 of RCRA requires federal agencies to give preference in the acquisition process to products and 

practices that conserve and protect natural resources and the environment. EO 13101 AND EO 13514 requires 

federal agencies to expand waste prevention and recycling programs, implement affirmative procurement programs 

for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) -designated items, and procure other environmentally 

preferable products and services. The stated purpose of the Affirmative Procurement Program is to stimulate the 

market for recovered materials. As a result of EO 13101 AND EO 13514, the EPA issued the Comprehensive 

Procurement Guidelines (CPGs) that have established the mandatory procurement by federal agencies of 36 items 

produced with recovered materials. The EPA has also issued Recovered Material Advisor Notices (RMANs) to 

accompany the CPGs and provide detailed information on the designated items. Please direct all questions regarding 

the plan to the Contracting Officer for forwarding to the Environmental Office. 

1.6 APPLICABILITY

These procedures apply to Contractors employed in the construction of task order projects. Please direct all 

questions regarding the plan to the Contracting Officer. 

1.7 RESERVED

1.8 EXEMPTIONS

1.8.1 EPA Recommendations

The U.S. EPA’s recommends minimum recycled content levels are mandatory for procurements of those items listed 

in the AFFIRMATIVE PROCUREMENT REPORTING FORM, unless one of the following exemptions applies. 

RCRA provides the following exemptions from the requirement to purchase EPA-designated items:

1. The product is not available from a sufficient number of sources to maintain a satisfactory level of competition 

(i.e., available from two or more sources).

2. The product is not available within a reasonable period of time.

3. The product does not meet the performance standards in applicable specifications or fails to meet reasonable 

performance standards of the procuring agency.

4. The product is not available at a reasonable price. For Air Force purposes, "unreasonable price" is defined as 

follows: If the price of the recycled-content product exceeds the cost of a non-recycled item, then the price is 

considered unreasonable.

SPECIFIC TASK ORDER, THE TASK ORDER REQUIREMENTS SHALL GOVERN.

PART 1 GENERAL

INTRODUCTION The following guidance is to be followed for all construction related submittals, all submittals 

required in Division 1 specifications and all submittals identified in Statements of Work as requiring Contracting 

Officer approval.

1.1 SUBMITTAL CLASSIFICATION/IDENTIFICATION

Throughout these specifications submittals may be identified with the prefix "SD" followed by a number. This 

number and prefix are for book keeping and record sorting in the system. The SD stands for submittal data and the 

number is a category, e.g., data, drawings, reports, etc. The submittal register shows either the title of the item being 

submitted or the number and title of the item being submitted. These numbers, if used, may be different in different 

sections of these specifications for items with the same title. 

1.1.1 SD-01 Data: Submittals that provide calculations, descriptions, or documentation regarding the work.

1.1.2 SD-04 Drawings: Submittals which graphically show relationship of various components of the work, 

schematic diagrams of systems, details of fabrication, layouts of particular elements, connections, and other 

relational aspects of the work.

1.1.3 SD-06 Instructions: Preprinted material describing installation of a product, system or material, including 

special notices and material safety data sheets, if any, concerning impedances, hazards, and safety precautions.

1.1.4 SD-07 Schedules: Tabular lists showing location, features, or other pertinent information regarding 

products, materials, equipment, or components to be used in the work.

1.1.5 SD-08 Statements: A document, required of the Contractor, or through the Contractor, from a supplier, 

installer, manufacturer, or other lower tier Contractor, the purpose of which is to confirm the quality or orderly 

progression of a portion of the work by documenting procedures, acceptability of methods or personnel, 

qualifications, or other verifications of quality.

1.1.6 SD-09 Reports: Reports of inspections or tests, including analysis and interpretation of test results. Each 

report shall be properly identified. Test methods used shall be identified and test results shall be recorded.

1.1.7 SD-13 Certificates: Statement signed by an official authorized to certify on behalf of the manufacturer of a 

product, system or material, attesting that the product, system or material meets specified requirements. The 

statement must be dated after the award of this contract, must state the Contractor's name and address, must name the 

project and location, and must list the specific requirements, which are being certified.

1.1.8 SD-14 Samples: Samples, including both fabricated and non-fabricated physical examples of materials, 

products, and units of work as complete units or as portions of units of work.

1.1.9 SD-18 Records: Documentation to record compliance with technical or administrative requirements.

1.1.10 SD-19 Operation and Maintenance Manuals: Data that forms a part of an operation and maintenance 

manual.

.1.1.11 Submittal Classification: Submittals are classified as follows:

1.1.11.1 Government Approved

NGB FOIA Reading Room 

Posted: April 19, 2011 

Page 70 of 88

FOIA Requested Record #J-11-0002 

Released by National Guard Bureau
Government (Contracting Officer) approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, deviations, 

equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, and other items as designated by the 

Contracting Officer. Within the terms of the Contract Clause entitled "Specifications and Drawings for Construction" 

they are considered to be "shop drawings." Submit in four (4) copies unless specific project specifies otherwise.

1. l..11.2Information Only

All submittals not requiring Government approval will be for information only. They are not considered to be "shop 

drawings" within the terms of the Contract Clause referred to above. Submit in two (2) copies.

1.1.12 Basic Contract Submittals

Basic Contract submittals can be Government Approved or Information Only. Basic contract submittals are 

submittals that are generic in nature for all work under the MATOC and shall be identified by the Contractor 

(annotation of Basic Submittal in the remarks column of the Air Force Form 3000) when providing his submittal 

register for approval in accordance with paragraph Submittal Register of this section. Basic contract submittals shall 

be submitted within 15 days of approval of the submittal register. The Contract Quality Control Plan, the Contract 

Safety Plan and submittals required by Section 01451 that impact the contract as a whole are mandatory Basic 

Contract Submittals.

1.1.13 Task Order Specific Submittals

Task Order specific submittals can be Government Approved or Information Only. These submittals are identified in 

each specific task order and describe task order specific requirements of materials and/or procedures. Task Order 

specific submittals shall be available at time of negotiations (as applicable) and submitted for final approval within 

10 days of notice-to-proceed for the respective Task Order. The Contractor may request approval to use Task Order 

specific submittals as Basic Contract submittals.

1. 2 APPROVED SUBMITTALS

The approval of submittals by the Contracting Officer shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate 

only that the general method of construction, materials, detailing and other information are satisfactory. Approval 

will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error, which may exist, as the Contractor under the CQC 

requirements of this contract, is responsible for the dimensions and design of adequate connections, details and 

satisfactory construction of all work. After the Contracting Officer has approved submittals, no re-submittal for the 

purpose of substituting materials or equipment will be given consideration unless accompanied by an explanation as 

to why a substitution is necessary.

1.3 DISAPPROVED SUBMITTALS

The Contractor shall make all corrections required by the Contracting Officer and promptly furnish a corrected 

submittal in the form and number of copies as specified for the initial submittal. If the Contractor considers any 

correction indicated on the submittals to constitute a change to the contract, notice as required under the Contract 

Clause entitled "Changes" shall be given promptly to the Contracting Officer.

1.4 WITHHOLDING OF PAYMENT

Payment for materials incorporated in the work will not be made if required approvals have not been obtained.

3.1 GENERAL

The Contractor shall submit all items listed on the Submittal Register (AF Form 66) or approved equivalent for each 

Task Order or specified in the other sections of these specifications. The Contracting Officer may request submittals 

in addition to those listed when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections. 

Units of weights and measures used on all submittals shall be the same used in the contract drawings. Submittals 

shall be made in the respective number of copies and to the respective addresses set forth below. Each submittal shall 

be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements. Prior to 

submittal, all items shall be checked and approved by the Contractor's Quality Control (CQC) representative. And 

each item of the submittal shall be stamped, signed, and dated and each respective transmittal form (AF FORM 

3000), or approved equivalent, shall be signed and dated by the CQC representative certifying that the accompanying 

submittal complies with the contract requirements. This procedure applies to all transmittals regardless of 

classification (Information Only or Government Approved). Proposed deviations from the contract requirements 

shall be clearly identified. Submittals shall include items such as: Contractor's, manufacturer's, or fabricator's 

drawings; descriptive literature including (but not limited to) catalog cuts, diagrams, operating charts or curves; test 

reports; test cylinders; samples: O&M manuals including parts list; certifications; warranties and other such required 

submittals. Submittals requiring Government approval shall be scheduled and made prior to the acquisition of the 

material or equipment covered thereby.

3.1.1 Submittals shall be submitted to the address specified by individual Task Orders:

3.2 SUBMITTAL REGISTER (AF Form 66 or approved equivalent)

3.2.1 Task Order Specific Submittals: Each Task Order will have one set of AF Form 66 listing each item of 

equipment and material for which submittals are required by the Special Clauses and the Technical Specifications 

Divisions 1 through 16. The Contractor shall fill in the date entitled “Required Submission Date” and return 2 

completed copies to the Contracting Officer for approval within 10 calendar days after Task Order Notice to 

Proceed.

Contractor shall review the list to ensure its completeness and may expand general category listings to show 

individual entries for each item. As an example, a general category in the listing for Specification 15400 would be 

"Fixtures" which the Contractor may want to breakdown into individual entries such as "Toilet P-l, Lavatory P-2, 

etc." The line numbers in column 1 are to be assigned sequentially starting with "1" for each specification section.

The approved submittal register will become the scheduling document and will be used to control submittals 

throughout the life of the Task Order. This register, Contractor's schedule dates, and the progress schedules shall be

3.10 GOVERNMENT APPROVED SUBMITTALS (SUBMIT 4 COPIES)

Upon completion of review of submittals requiring Government approval, the submittals will be identified as having 

received approval by being so stamped and dated. Two copies of the submittal will be retained by the Engineer(s) 

and 2 (two) copies of the submittal will be returned to the Contractor.

3.10.1 PROCESSING OF GOVERNMENT APPROVED SUBMITTALS

Four copies of all submittals requiring Government approval shall be submitted. Having a completed copy of AF 

Form 3000 attached to it shall identify each copy submitted. Submittals will be reviewed and processed as follows:

a. Approved as Submitted (Action Code "A"): Shop drawings which can be approved without correction will be 

stamped "Approved" and two prints, or two copies of catalog and other printed data, will be returned to the 

Contractor.

b. Approved Except as Noted (Action Code "B"): Shop drawings that have only minor discrepancies will be 

annotated in red to indicate necessary corrections. Marked material will be stamped "Approved Except as Noted" 

and returned to the Contractor for correction. Distribution will be the same as for Approved as Submitted" (Action 

Code "A") submittals.

c. Approved Except as Noted (Action Code "C"): Shop drawings that are incomplete or require more than minor 

corrections will be annotated in red to indicate necessary corrections. Marked material will be stamped "Approved 

Except as Noted - Resubmission Required" and returned to the Contractor for correction. Two prints, or two copies 

of catalog and other printed data, will be returned to the Contractor. The Contractor need only resubmit the part of 

the submittal showing the corrections.

d. Disapproved (Action Code "E"): Shop drawings which are fundamentally in error, cover wrong equipment or 

construction, or require extensive corrections, will be returned to the Contractor stamped "Disapproved." An 

explanation will be furnished on the submitted material or on AF Form 3000 indicating reason for disapproval. 

Distribution will be the same as fur "Approved Except as Noted" (Action Code "C") submittals.

e. Re-submittal will not be required for shop drawings stamped "Approved as Submitted" (Action Code "A") or

information only submittals. These submittals will be used for information purposes. The Government reserves the 

right to require the Contractor to resubmit any item found not to comply with the contract. The resubmittal shall be 

reclassified as Government approved submittal. This does not relieve the Contractor from the obligation to furnish 

material conforming to the plans and specifications and will not prevent the Contracting Office from requiring 

removal and replacement if nonconforming material is incorporated in the work. This does not relieve the Contractor 

of the requirement to furnish samples for testing by the Government laboratory or check testing by the Government 

in those instances where the technical specifications so prescribe.

requiring additional details of description required implementing the Basic CQC Plan or of a site specific nature 

shall be covered in the Addendum Plan. Include a list of the definable features of work for the task order. A 

definable feature of work is a task that is separate and distinct from other tasks and has separate control 

requirements. Although each section of the specifications may generally be considered as a definable feature of 

work, there are frequently more than one definable feature under a particular section. This list will be agreed upon 

during the coordination meeting. Any proposed changes to the basic CQC organization shall be approved before 

commencement of construction.

3.2.4 Acceptance of Plans

Acceptance of the Contractor's basic and addendum plans is required prior to the start of construction. Acceptance is 

conditional and will be predicated on satisfactory performance during the construction. The Government reserves the
