               (iii) The Government will evaluate offers in accordance with the policies and procedures of
FAR Part 25. For line items covered by the WTO GPA, the Government will evaluate offers of
U.S.-made or designated country end products without regard to the restrictions of the Buy American

that the offers for such products are insufficient to fulfill the requirements of the solicitation.

     (h) Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters (Executive Order 12689). (Applies only
if the contract value is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.) The offeror
certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the offeror and/or any of its principals—

          (1) ___ Are, ___ are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared
ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

          (2) ___ Have, ___ have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had
a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection
with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local government contract
or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of
offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of
records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving
stolen property;

          (3) ___ Are, ___ are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a
Government entity with, commission of any of these offenses enumerated in paragraph (h)(2) of this
clause; and

          (4) ___ Have, ___ have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any
delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains
unsatisfied.

               (i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

                    (A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it
has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or
judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not
finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

                    (B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the
taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is
not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

               (ii) Examples.

Page - 15

 

                    (A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles
the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax
because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not
be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

                    (B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and
the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a
hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax
Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer
is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior
opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax
liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until
the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

                    (C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer
is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not
delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

                    (D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because
enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

     (i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive Order
13126). [The Contracting Officer must list in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired
under this solicitation that are included in the List of Products Requiring Contractor
Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor, unless excluded at

contract. On the basis of those efforts, the offeror certifies that it is not aware of any such use
of child labor.

     (j) Place of manufacture. (Does not apply unless the solicitation is predominantly for
the acquisition of manufactured end products.) For statistical purposes only, the offeror shall
indicate whether the place of manufacture of the end products it expects to provide in response to

          [ ] (1) Maintenance, calibration, or repair of certain equipment as described in FAR

               (iv) The compensation (wage and fringe benefits) plan for all service employees performing work

solicitation, the offeror shall notify the Contracting Officer as soon as possible; and

               (ii) The Contracting Officer may not make an award to the offeror if the offeror fails to execute

52.232-33 Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer—Central Contractor Registration.

     As prescribed in 32.11 1O(a)(1), insert the following clause:

Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer—Central Contractor Registration (Oct 2003)

     (a) Method of payment.

Page - 20

 

          (1) All payments by the Government under this contract shall be made by electronic funds transfer
(EFT), except as provided in paragraph (a)(2) of this clause. As used in this clause, the term
“EFT” refers to the funds transfer and may also include the payment information transfer.

          (2) In the event the Government is unable to release one or more payments by EFT, the Contractor
agrees to either—

               (i) Accept payment by check or some other mutually agreeable method of payment; or

               (ii) Request the Government to extend the payment due date until such time as the Government can
make payment by EFT (but see paragraph (d) of this clause).

     (b) Contractor’s EFT information. The Government shall make payment to the Contractor using the EFT
information contained in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. In the event that the
EFT information changes, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing the updated information
to the CCR database.

     (c) Mechanisms for EFT payment. The Government may make payment by EFT through either the Automated
Clearing House (ACH) network, subject to the rules of the National Automated Clearing House
Association, or the Fedwire Transfer System. The rules governing Federal payments through the ACH
are contained in 31 CFR Part 210.

     (d) Suspension of payment. If the Contractor’s EFT information in the CCR database is incorrect,
then the Government need not make payment to the Contractor under this contract until correct EFT
information is entered into the CCR database; and any invoice or contract financing request shall
be deemed not to be a proper invoice for the purpose of prompt payment under this contract. The
prompt payment terms of the contract regarding notice of an improper invoice and delays in accrual
of interest penalties apply.

     (e) Liability for uncompleted or erroneous transfers.

          (1) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the Government used the Contractor’s EFT
information incorrectly, the Government remains responsible for—

               (i) Making a correct payment;

               (ii) Paying any prompt payment penalty due; and

               (iii) Recovering any erroneously directed funds.

          (2) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the Contractor’s EFT information was
incorrect, or was revised within 30 days of Government release of the EFT payment transaction
instruction to the Federal Reserve System, and—

               (i) If the funds are no longer under the control of the payment office, the Government is deemed to
have made payment and the Contractor is responsible for recovery of any erroneously directed funds;
or

               (ii) If the funds remain under the control of the payment office, the Government shall not make
payment, and the provisions of paragraph (d) of this clause shall apply.

     (f) EFT and prompt payment. A payment shall be deemed to have been made in a timely manner in
accordance with the prompt payment terms of this contract if, in the EFT payment transaction
instruction released to the Federal Reserve System, the date specified for settlement of the
payment is on or before the prompt payment due date, provided the specified payment date is a valid
date under the rules of the Federal Reserve System.

Page - 21 

 

     (g) EFT and assignment of claims. If the Contractor assigns the proceeds of this contract as
provided for in the assignment of claims terms of this contract, the Contractor shall require as a
condition of any such assignment, that the assignee shall register separately in the CCR database
and shall be paid by EFT in accordance with the terms of this clause. Notwithstanding any other
requirement of this contract, payment to an ultimate recipient other than the Contractor, or a
financial institution properly recognized under an assignment of claims pursuant to Subpart
32.8,is not permitted. In all respects, the requirements of this clause shall apply to the
assignee as if it were the Contractor. EFT information that shows the ultimate recipient of the
transfer to be other than the Contractor, in the absence of a proper assignment of claims
acceptable to the Government, is incorrect EFT information within the meaning of paragraph (d) of
this clause.

     (h) Liability for change of EFT in formation by financial agent. The Government is not liable for
errors resulting from changes to EFT information made by the Contractor’s financial agent.

     (i) Payment information. The payment or disbursing office shall forward to the Contractor available
payment information that is suitable for transmission as of the date of release of the EFT
instruction to the Federal Reserve System. The Government may request the Contractor to designate a
desired format and method(s) for delivery of payment information from a list of formats and methods
the payment office is capable of executing. However, the Government does not guarantee that any
particular format or method of delivery is available at any particular payment office and retains
the latitude to use the format and delivery method most convenient to the Government. If the
Government makes payment by check in accordance with paragraph (a) of this clause, the Government
shall mail the payment information to the remittance address contained in the CCR database.

(End of clause)

52.237-3 Continuity of Services.

     As prescribed in 37.110(c), insert the following clause:

Continuity of Services (Jan 1991)

     (a) The Contractor recognizes that the services under this contract are vital to the Government and
must be continued without interruption and that, upon contract expiration, a successor, either the
Government or another contractor, may continue them. The Contractor agrees to—

          (1) Furnish phase-in training; and

          (2) Exercise its best efforts and cooperation to effect an orderly and efficient transition to a
successor.

     (b) The Contractor shall, upon the Contracting Officer’s written notice, (1) furnish phase-in,

Page - 22 

 

each division of work described in the plan, and shall be subject to the Contracting Officer’s
approval. The Contractor shall provide sufficient experienced personnel during the phase-in,
phase-out period to ensure that the services called for by this contract are maintained at the
required level of proficiency.

     (c) The Contractor shall allow as many personnel as practicable to remain on the job to
help the successor maintain the continuity and consistency of the services required by this
contract. The Contractor also shall disclose necessary personnel records and allow the successor to
conduct on-site interviews with these employees. If selected employees are agreeable to the change,
the Contractor shall release them at a mutually agreeable date and negotiate transfer of their
earned fringe benefits to the successor.

     (d) The Contractor shall be reimbursed for all reasonable phase-in, phase-out costs (i.e., costs
incurred within the agreed period after contract expiration that result from phase-in, phase-out
operations) and a fee (profit) not to exceed a pro rata portion of the fee (profit) under this
contract.

(End of clause)

services furnished pursuant to the provisions of this contract in any news release or commercial
advertising, or in connection with any news release or commercial advertising, without first
obtaining explicit written consent to do so from the Contracting Officer. Should any reference to
such equipment or services appear in any news release or commercial advertising issued by or on
behalf of the Contractor without the required consent, the Government shall consider institution of
all remedies available under the provisions of 31 U.S.C. 333 and this contract. Further, a
violation of this provision may be considered during the evaluation of past performance in future
competitively negotiated acquisitions.

[End of Clause]
