the fixed fee amount associated with the task order shall be the fixed fee percentage applied

and calculated on the total negotiated estimated cost of the' task order.

Rates, Fringe Rates, Indirect Rates, Fixed Fee, and Ceiling Rate Matrices" ..

additional fee will be paid.o •

(b) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing when the Contractor has reason

to believe that the total cost for performance of this contract, orOany im;:tividual task order,

. contract or the task order. The proposal should be submitted as soon as possible after the

contractor to the. Contracting Officer, demonstrating the insufficiency of the existing labor

categories, a description of the proposed labor category including the education and experience

levels, proposed and ceiling labor rates, and a cross reference to other contracts that include

(EN D OF CLAUSE)

H.10. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, AND LIMiTATION ON FUTURE

CONTRACTING .

(a) The 'Contracting Officer has determined that this acquisition may give rise to a potential

organizational conflict of interest. Accordingly, the attention of prospective Offerors is directed

to FAR Subpart 9.5 - Organizational Conflicts of Interest. .

(b) The nature of this potential conflict is:

The Requesting Organizations have bqth NASA and no~-NASA cus~omers. Some of those

cuslomers include aerospace vehicle.designers and manufacturers. Because contractors

are involved in new technology development, testing, and fabrication, they are expected to

have access to government sensitive and third party proprietary data. If the awardee or a

subcontractor were an aerospace vehicle designer or manufacturer, other aerospace

vehicle manufacturers might cease to use NASA-ARC expertise and facilities. This would

negate the purpose of our laboratories and facilities as a national resource. Access by the

awardee to Government-sensitive or third party proprietary data creates a potential

organizational conflict of interest.

(c) To avoid, neutralize, or mitigate the potential organizational conflict 01, interest, the following

restrictions upon'future contracting shall apply: . .

(1) If the Contractor, under the terms of ttiiscontract, or through the performance of tasks

pursuant to this contract, is required to develop specifications or statements of work that are to

be incorporated into a solicitation, the Contractor shall be ineligible to perform the work

described in that solicitation as a prime or subcontractor under an ensuing NASA contract. This

restriction shall remail'1 in effect for a reasonable time, as agreed to by the Contracting Officer

and the Contractor, sufficient to avoid unfair competitive advantage or potential bias (this time

shall in no case be less than the duration of the initial production contract). NASA shall not

unilaterally require the Contractor to prepare such specifications or statements of work under

this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall not, during the performance of the contract and for a period of

three years following completion of performance thereof, engage in the following activities:

(i) Design, develop, 'or produce aerospace vehicles-

(ii) Participate in competitions, as either a prime proposer or a proposed subcontractor,

based upon data obtained because of the Contractor's access to, and support of, the AEMMS . .

Page 28
NNA10DF26C . SECTION H

technical requirements, or participate in competitions, as either a prime proposer or a proposed .

subcontractor, where the Contractor participated in defining requirements of the competition as .

a result of supporting the AEMMS technical requirements.

(d) If, in the performance of work under this Contract, the Contractor has access to

Gover.nment Sensitive Data or third-party proprietary data, the Contractor shall protect s.uch

data from unauthorized use or disclosure, so long as it remains proprietary. In addition, the

Contractor shall not be permitted to use such data other than in performance under this

Contract, unless:

.(1) It receives the explicit written permission of the owner of such data and the Contracting

Officer; or

(2) Such datahas been released or otherwise made available to the public by the

Government or the owner of the third-party proprietary data. .

In addition, the Contractor agrees that to.the eXtent it receives or is given access to proprietary

data, data protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), or other confidential or

information in accordance with any use or dissemination restrictions imposed on such

information. Further, the Contractor shall not submit an unsolicited proposal to the Government

which is based on such data until one year after such data is released or otherwise made

available to the public; further, any unsolicited proposal submitted pursuant to this provision

shall identify any relationship 'to work produced under this contract and any proposed use of

such data.

(e) Additionally:

(1) If, in the performance of work under this Contract, the Contractor enters into a separate

agreement with a company for the protection of Government Sensitive Data or third-party

proprietary data, the Contractor shall furnish a copy of that agreement to the Contracting

Officer. .

(2) The Contractor must educate 'its employees, through formal training, not to divulge

Government Sensitive Data or third-party proprietary data, trade secrets, confidential

information, or restricted data of companies received in connection with the. performance of

work under this Contract. The Contractor shall provide a plan to implement this training for the

approval of the Contracting Officer. '

(3) The Contractor shall obtain from all employees having access to Government Sensitive .

. Data or third-party proprietary data under this Contract a written agreement which shall prohibit

those employees, during the term" of their employment and thereafter, from disclosing to others

or using for their own behalf, such data received in connection with the performance of work "

under this Contract, and from retaining a copy of such data'after termination of their

employment under this Contract.

(f) The term "Contractor" as used in this clause shall include:

be included in Contract deliverables. To the extent a contractor background invention has been

Federally funded, the Government will.receive its government-purpose license rights to practice

the background invention. Where there is no Federal funding of the background invention, the

Contractor will identify to the Contracting Officer the rights that it proposes to grant the

Government to use such invention in other Government contracts. The Government shall

receive a government-purpose license to practice any contractor background invention where

such Contracting Officer. permission is not obtained prior to incorporating its background

inventions into Contractor work. . .

1.2. PERSONAL IDENTITY VERIFICATION OF' CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

.(FAR 52.204-9) (SEP 2007)

(a) The Contractor shall comply with agency personal identity verification procedures

identified in the. contract that implement Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD12), Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance M-05-24 and Federal Information

Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB) Number 201.

(b) The Contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is

required to have routine physical access to a Federally-controlled facility and/or routine access

to a Federally-controlled information system.

FIPS 201 graphically displays the following procedure for the issuance of a PIV credential. ;:,.iI~i~d;r~:~~~';i'

)

The following steps describe the procedures for the NASA Personal Identity Verification Card

Issuance (PCI) of a PIV credential: .

Step 1:

The Contractor's Corporate Security Officer (CSO), Program Manager (PM), or Facility Security.

Officer (FSO) submits a formal letter that provides a list of contract employees (applicant)

names requesting access to the NASA Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR).

In the case of a foreign national applicant, approval through the NASA Foreign National

Management System (NFNMS) must be obtained for the visit or assignment before any

processing for a PIV credential can take place. Further, if the foreign nat,ional is not under a

contract where a COTR has been officially designated, the foreign national will provide the'

information directly to their visit/assignment host, and the host sponsor will fulfill the duties of

the COTR mentioned herein. In each case, the letter shall provide notification of the contract or

foreign national employee's (hereafter the "applicant") full name (first, middle and last), social

security number (SSN) or NASA Foreign National Management System Visitor Number if the

foreign national does not have a SSN, and date of birth. If the contract employee has a current

satisfactorily completed National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) or an equivalent or higher

degree of background investigation, the letter shall indicate the type of investigation, the agency

completing the investigation, and date the investigation was completed. Also, the letter must

Page 39
NNA100F26C SECTION I

specify the risk/sensitivity level associated with the position in whic,h each applicant will be

working (NPR 1600.1, ~4.5 is germane) Further, the letter shall also 'acknowledge that contract

employees may be denied access to, NASA information or information systems based on an

unsatisfactory background investigation/adjudication. . '

After reviewing the letter for completeness and concurring with the risk/sensitivity levels, the

COTR/host mu~t forward the letter to the Center Chief of Security (eeS). The ees shall

review the OPM databases (e.g., OCII, PIP, et al.), ,and take appropriate steps to validate the

applicant's investigation status. Requirements for a NACI or other investigation shall be

initiated only if necessary. .

Applicants who do not currently possess the required level of background investigation shall be

directed to the e-QIP web site to complete the necessary background investigation forms

online. The ecs shall provide to the COTR/host information and instructions on how to access

the e-QIP for each contractor foreign national employee requiring access

Step 2: , Upon acceptance of the letterlbackground information, the applicant will be advised that in

order to complete the investigative process, he or she must appear in-person before the

authorized PIV registrar and submit two forms of identity source documents in original form.

:The identity source documents must co'me'from the list of acceptable documents included in

Form 1-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, one which must be a Federal1or State issued

picture identification; Fingerprints will be taken' at this time. The applicant must appear nC?

later than the entry on duty date~'

When the applicant appears, the registrar will electronically scan the submitted documents; any

document that appears invalid will be, rejected by the registrar. The registrar will capture

electronically both a facial image and fingerprints of the applicant. The information submitted by

the applicant will be used to create or update the applicant identity record in the Identity

Management System (IOMS). \ '

Step 3:

Upon the applicant's completion of the investigative document, the CCS reviews the

information, and resolves discrepancies with the applicant as necessary. When the applicant

,has appeared in person and completed fingerprints, the package is electronically submitted to

initiate the NAC!. The eeSincludes a request for feedback on the NAC portion of the NACI at

the time the request is submitted.

Step 4:

Prior to authorizing physical access of a contractor employee to a federally-controlled facility or

access to a Federal information system, the ecs will ensure that a check.has been performed

with the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and Interstate Identification Index. In the

case of a foreign national, a national check of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs

Enforcement (BICE) database will be performed for each ,applicant.l,f this process yields

negative information, the CCS will immediately notify the eOTR/host of the determination

regarding access made by the ees.

1 A non-PIV government identification badge, including the NASA,Photo Identification Badge, MAY NOT

BE USED for the original issuance of a PIV vetted credential ' ,

Page 40
NNA10DF26C SECTION I

Step 5: .

Upon receipt of the completed NAC, the ecs will updatalDMS from the.NAC portion of the

NACI and indicate the result of the suitability determination. If an unsatisfactory suitability

determination is rendered, the COTR will advise the contractor that the employee is being

denied physical access to all federally-controlled facilities and Federal information systems.

Based on a favorable NAC and NCICIIII or BICEcheck, the CCS will authorize the issuance of

a PIV federal credential in the Physical Access Control System (PACS) database. The CCS,

based on information provided by the COTRlhost, will determine what physical access the

applicant should be granted once the PIV issues the credential.

Step 6:

Using the information provided. by the applicant during his or her in-person appearance, the PIV

card production facility creates and instantiates the approved PIV card for the applicant with an

activation date commensurate with the applicant's start date.

Step 7:

The applicant proceeds to the credential. issuance facility to begin processing for receipt of

hislher federal credentfal. .

. The applicant provides to the credential issuing operator proof of identity with documentation

that meets the requirements of FIPS 201 (DHS Employment Eligibility Verification (Form 1-9)

documents. These documents must be the same documents submitted for registration.

. .

The credential issuing operator will verify that the facial image, and optionally reference finger

print, matches the enrollment data used to produce the card. Upon verification of identity, the

operator will locate the employee's record in the PACS database, and modify the record to

indicate the PIV card has been issued. The applicant will se.lect a PIN for use with his or her

new PIV card. Although root data is inaccessible to the. operator, certain fielc;js (hair color, eye

color; et al.) may be modified to more accurately record the employee's information.

The applicant proceeds to a kiosk or other workstation to complete activation of the PIV card

using the initial PIN entered at card issuance. .

ALTERNATIVE FOR APPLICANTS WHO DO NOT HAVE A COMPLETED AND

ADJUDICATED NAC AT THE TIME OF ENTRANCE ON DUTY

Steps 1 through 4 shall be accomplished for all applicants in accordance with the process

described above. If the applicant is unable to appear in person until the time of entry on duty,

or does not, for any other reason, have a completed and adjudicated NAC portion of the NACI

at the time of ent.rance on duty, the following interim procedures shall apply.

1. If the documents required to submit the NACI have not been completed' prior to EOD,

the applicant will be instructed to complete all remaining requirements for ~ubmission of

the investigation request. This includes presentation of I-Rdocuments and completion

of fingerprints, if not already accomplished. If the applicant fails to complete these

activities as prescribed in NPR 1600.1 (Chapters 3 & 4), it may be considered as failure

to meet the conditions required for physical access to a federally"'controlled" facility or

access. to a Federal information system, and result indenial of such access.

Notice to Employees

SECTION I

Under Federal law, employees cannot be required to join a union or maintain membership

, in a union in order to retain their jobs. Under certain conditions, the law permits a union

and. an employer to enter into a union-security agreement requiring employees to pay

uniform periodic dues and initiation fees. However, employees who are not union members

can object to the use of their payments for certain purposes and can only be required to

pay their share of union costs relating ,to collective bargaining, contract administration, and

grievance adjustment. '

If you do not want to pay that portion of dues or fees used to support activities not related

to collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance adjustment, you are entitled

.to an appropriate reduction in your payment. If you believe that you have been required to

pay dues or fees used in part to support activities not related to' collecthie bargaining,

contract administration, or grievance adjustment, yOlJmay be entitled to a refund and to an

appropriate reduction in future payments.

1.6. SHARED SAVINGS (NFS 1852.243-71) (MARCH 1997)

SECTION I

(a) The Contractor is entitled, under the provisions of this clause, to share in cost savings

resulting from the implementation of cost reduction projects which are presented to the

Government in the form of Cost Reduction Proposals (CRP) and approved by the Contracting

Officer. These cost reduction projects may require changes to the terms, conditions or

statement of work of this contract. Any cost reduction projects must not change the essential

function of any products to be delivered or the essential purpose of services to be provided

under the contract.

(b) Definitions:

(1) Cost savings, as contemplated by this clause mean savings that result from instituting

ch~nges to the covered contract, as identified in an approved Cost Reduction Proposal.

(2) Cost Reduction Proposal- For the purposes of this clause, a Cost Reduction Proposal

means a proposal that recommends alternatives to the established procedures and/or

organizational support of a contract or group of contracts. These alternatives must result in a

net reduction of contract cost and price to NASA. The proposal will include technical and cost

information sufficient to enable the Contracting Officer to evaluate the CRPand approve or ,

disapprove it. . ,

(3) Covered contract - As used in this provision, covered contract means the contract,

including unexercised options but excluding future contracts, whether contemplated or not,

against which the CRP is submitted. '

(4) Contractor implementation costs.., As used in this provision, Contractor implementation

costs, or "implementation costs", shall.mean those costs which the Contractor incurs on

covered contracts specifically in developing, preparing, submitting, and negotiating a CRP, as

well as those costs the Contractor will incur on covered contracts to make any structural or

organizational changes in order to implement an approved CRP. ,. .

(5) Government costs - As used in this provision, the term Government costs means internal '

costs of NASA, or any other Government agency, which result directly from development and

implementation of the CRP~These may include, but are not limited to, costs associated with the

administration of the contract or with such contractually related functions such as testing,

operations, maintenance and logistics support: These costs also include costs associated with

other Agency contracts (including changes in contract price or cost and fee) that may be

affected as a result of the implementation of a CRP. They do not include the normal .

'administrative costs of reviewing and processing the Cost Reduction Proposal. .

(c) General. The Contractor will develop, prepare and submit CRP's with{supporting information

as detailed in paragraph (e) of this clause, to the Contracting Officer. The CRP will describe the

proposed cost reduction activity in suffiCient detail to enable the Contracting Officer to evaluate

it and to approve or disapprove it. The Contractor shall share in any net cost savings realized

from approved and implemented CRPs in accordance with the terms of this Clause. The

Contractor's actual percentage share of the cost savings shall be a matter for negotiation with

the Contracting Officer, but shall not, in any event, exceed 50 percent of the total cost savings

recognized by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor may propose changes in other activities

that impact performance on its contract, including Government and other Contractor operations,

if such changes will optimize cost savings. A Contractor shall not be entitled to share, however,

in any cost savings that are internal to the Government, or which ~esult from changes made to

any contracts to which it is nota party even if those changes were proposed as a part of its

.CRP. Early communication between the Contractor and Government is encouraged. The

Page 46
NNA10DF26C

• Page 47
NNA10DF26C SECTION I

(End of Clause)

.responsibility for the review and approval of the CRP will.be a matter to be decided by the

affected Contracting Officers. . .

(2) Within 60 days .of receipt, the Contracting Officer shall complete an initial evaluation of

any proposed cost reduction plan to determine its feasibility. Failure of the Contracting Officer

to provide a response within 60 days shall not be construed as approval of the CRP. The

Government shall promptly notify the Contractor of the results of its initial evaluation and '

indicate what, if any, further action will be taken. If the Government determines thatthe

proposed CRP has merit, it will open discussions with the Contractor to establish the cost

savings to be recognized, the Cohtractor'sshare ofthe cost savings, and a payment schedule.

The Contractor shall continue to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions of the

existing contract until a contract modi.fication is executed.bythe Contracting Officer. The

.modification shall constitute appro".al of the CRP and shall incorporate the changes identified

by the CRP, adjust the contract COl:?tand/or price, establish the Contractor's share of cost

savings~ and incorporate the agreed to payment schedule.

(3) The Contractor will regeive payment by submitting invoices to the Contracting Officer for

approval. The amount and timing of individual p~yments will be made in accordance with the

schedule to be established with the Contracting. Officer. Notwithstanding the overall savings

recognized by the Contracting Officer as a result of an approved CRP, payment of any portion

of the Contra.ctor's share of savings shall not be made until NASA begins to realize a net cost

savings on the contract (Le., implementation, startup and other increased costs resulting from

. the change have been offset by cumulative cost savings). Savings associated with unexercised'

options will not be paid unless and until the contract options are exercised~lt shall be the

responsibility of th!9 c.ontractor to provide such justification as the Contracting Officer deems

. necessary to su~stantiate that cost savings are being achieved .•

(4) Any fut~re activity, including a merger or acquisition undertaken by the Contractor (or to

which, the Contractor becomes an involved party), which has the effect of reducing or reversing .

the cost savings realized from an approved CRPfor which the Contractor has received payment

may be cause for recomputing the net cost savings associated with any approved CRP. The

Government reserves the right to make an adjustment to the Contractor's share of cost savings

and to receive a refund of moneys paid if necessary. Such adjustment shall not be made

without notifying the Contractor in advance of the intended ~ction .and affording the Contractor

an opportunity for discussion.

(g) Limitations. Contract requirements that are imposed by statute shall not be targeted for cost

reduction exercises. The Contractor is precluded from receiving reimbursements urider both.

. this clause and other incentive provisions of the contract, if any; for the same cost reductions.

(h) Disapproval of, or failure to approve, any proposed cost reduction proposal shall not be

considered a dispute subject to remedie.s under the Disputes clause.

(i) Cost savings paid to the Contractor in accordance with the provisions of this clause do not '

constitute profit or fee within the limitations imposed by 10 U.S.C. 2306(d) and 41 U.S.C.

254(b).

1.7. OMBUDSMAN(NFS 1852.215:-84) (OCT 2003) (ALTERNATEI) (JUN 2000),

(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from

Offerors, potential Offerors, and contractors during the pre-award and post-award phases of
