(End of Clause)
B.4 AWARD FEE POOL (SEPT 1997)
(a) The Contractor can earn award fee from zero dollars to the maximum
TBD.
(b) Beginning 6 months after the effective date of this contract, the
Government shall evaluate the Contractor's performance every 6 months (with the
exception of the last period, which will be 9 months) to determine the amount of
fee earned by the Contractor during the period. The Contractor may submit a
self-evaluation of performance for each evaluation period under consideration.
These self-evaluations will be considered by the Government in its evaluation.
The Government's Fee Determination Official (FDO) will determine the fee amounts
based on the Contractor's performance in accordance with the performance
evaluation plan. The plan may be revised unilaterally by the Government prior to
the beginning of any rating period to redirect emphasis.
(c) The Government will advise the Contractor in writing of the evaluation
results. The NASA LeRC Financial Management Division will make payment based
upon issuance of unilateral modification by the Contracting Officer.
(d) The amount of award fee which can be awarded in each evaluation period
is limited to the amount of TBD. Award fee which is not earned in an evaluation
period will not be reallocated to future evaluation periods. If Government
directed descoping occurs, the amount of fee available will unilaterally be
reduced as a direct correlation to the percentage of descoped work.
(e) (1) Pending a determination of the amount of fee earned for an
evaluation period, a portion of the availability fee for that period will be
paid to the Contractor on a not more often than monthly basis. The portion paid
will be 50 percent
Page B - 3
Supplies or Services and Price/Costs 12/17/97

RFP3-085970 Section B
of the current period's available amount; provided, however, that when the
Contracting Officer determines that the Contractor will not achieve a level of
performance commensurate with the provisional rate, a payment of provisional fee
will be discontinued or reduced in such amounts as the Contracting Officer deems
appropriate. The Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor in writing if
it is determined that such discontinuance or reduction is appropriate. The
determination is not subject to the Disputes Clause.
(2) In the event the amount of fee earned, as determined by the FDO,
is less than the sum of provisional payments made for that period, the
Contractor will either credit the next payment voucher for the amount of
overpayment or refund the difference to the Government, as directed by the
Contracting Officer.
(f) After 85 percent of the potential fee has been paid, the Contracting
Officer may direct the withholding of further payment of fee until a reserve is
set aside in an amount that the Contracting Officer considers necessary to
protect the Government's interest. This reserve shall not exceed 15 percent of
the total potential fee.

work to be performed is within the scope of the SOW of the contract. if the
contractor believes the effort is outside the SOW of the contract, the
contractor should immediately notify the COTR.
The contractor is to provide an original and one copy of its Task Plan to the
COTR within ten days of the receipt of the request. The contractor will also
prepare and provide an Optional Form 347 to be used for funding purposes. These
documents are to be forwarded to the COTR.

Representative (TR) for review and approval. (The TR will be a NASA employee
appointed by the COTR to monitor the work and assist the COTR. in the
performance of his/her duties.) if no corrections are to be made, the COTR. will
give the contractor a copy of the Task Plan approval letter (signed by the COTR
and TR) and the original Optional Form 347 signed by the Contracting Officer
(CO). Work can only begin after both the receipt of the approval letter and the
signed Optional Form 347.
The TO can be amended to increase or decrease the scope of work and/or change
the schedule. The same procedures are used.
The approved Task Plan represents the baseline for the Task Order to be used for
cost reporting.
At no time can work be performed on a Task Order unless there are funds on the
task order to cover the work. If a TO runs out of money at any time, the
contractor must stop work.

Contractor may submit a written request for exception by submitting the

provide, at a minimum, information on prices at which the same item or similar

I.11 SERVICE CONTRACT ACT OF 1965, AS AMENDED (FAR 52.22241) (MAY 1989)
(a) Definitions. "Act," as used in this clause, means the Service Contract
Act of 1965, as amended (41 U.S.C. 351, et seq.).
Page I-18
Contract Clauses 12/17/97
74
RFP3-085970 Section I
"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," as used in this clause, 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 Tide 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, as 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 classification 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
Page I-19
Contract Clauses 12/17/97
75
RFP3-085970 Section I
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.
(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 a 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
Page I-20
Contract Clauses 12/17/97
76
RFP3-085970 Section I
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 in 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 thereunder to service employees under this contract shall be
subject to adjustment after 1 year and not less often than once every 2 years,
under wage determinations issued by the Wage and Hour Division.
(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) of this clause 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 then 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 have been 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
Page I-21
Contract Clauses 12/17/97
77
RFP3-085970 Section I
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 wage determination
setting forth the applicable wage rates and fringe benefits. Such determination
shall be made 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 determination 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, 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.
(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
Page I-22
Contract Clauses 12/17/97
78
RFP3-085970 Section I
Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, a record of the
following:
(i) For each employee subject to the Act--
(A) Name and address and social security number;
(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 and 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
Page I-23
Contract Clauses 12/17/97
79
RFP3-085970 Section I
(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.
(k) Withholding of Payments 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 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 or provisions or amendments thereof
effective at a later time during the period of contract performance such
agreements shall be reported promptly after negotiation 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 the names of all service
Page I-24
Contract Clauses 12/17/97

RFP3-085970 Section I
employees on the Contractor's or subcontractor's payroll during the last month

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.

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 Government contract under section 5 of the Act
(3) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the
U.S. Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001.
(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. 92473, 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, student-learners, 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
Page I-25
Contract Clauses 12/17/97
81
RFP3-085970 Section I
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, and 525).

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
classification 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 section
3(m) of the Fair Labor Standards Act and 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
Page I-26
Contract Clauses 12/17/97
82
RFP3-085970 Section I
(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.

I.17 MANDATORY INFORMATION FOR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER PAYMENT
(FAR 52.232-33) (AUG 1996)
(a) Method of payment. Payments by the Government under this contract,
including invoice and contract financing payments, may be made by check or
electronic funds transfer (EFT) at the option of the Government. If payment is
made by EFT, the Government may, at its option, also forward the associated
payment information by electronic transfer. As used in this clause, the term
"EFT" refers to the funds transfer and may also include the information
transfer.
(b) Mandatory submission of Contractor's EFT information.
(1) The Contractor is required, as a condition to any payment under
this contract, to provide the Government with the information required to make
payment by EFT as described in paragraph (d) of this clause, unless the payment
office determines that submission of the information is not required. However,
until January 1, 1999, in the event the Contractor certifies in writing to the
payment office that the Contractor does not have an account with a financial
institution or an authorized payment agent, payment shall be made by other than
EFT. For any payments to be made after January 1, 1999, the Contractor shall
provide EFT information as described in paragraph (d) of this clause.
(2) If the Contractor provides EFT information applicable to
multiple contracts, the Contractor shall specifically state the applicability of
this EFT information in terms acceptable to the payment office.
(c) Contractor's EFT information. Prior to submission of the first request
for payment (whether for invoice or contract financing payment) under this
contract, the Contractor shall provide the information required to make contract
payment by EFT, as described in paragraph (d) of this clause, directly to the
Government payment office named in this contract. If more than one payment
office is named for the contract, the Contractor shall provide a separate notice
to each office. In the event that the EFT information changes, the Contractor
shall be responsible for providing the changed information to the designated
payment office(s).
(d) Required EFT information. The Government may make payment by EFT
through either an Automated Clearing House (ACH) subject to the banking laws of
the United States or the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System at the
Government's option. The Contractor shall provide the following information for
both methods in a form acceptable to the designated payment office. The
Contractor may supply this data for this or multiple contracts (see paragraph
(b) of this clause).
Page I-34
Contract Clauses 12/17/97
90
RFP3-085970 Section I
(1) The contract number to which this notice applies.
(2) The Contractor's name and remittance address, as stated in the
contract and account number at the Contractor's financial agent.
(3) The signature (manual or electronic, as appropriate), title, and
telephone number of the Contractor official authorized to provide this
information.
(4) For ACH payments only:
(i) Name, address, and 9-digit Routing Transit Number of the
Contractor's financial agent.
(ii) Contractor's account number and the type of account
(checking, saving, or lockbox).
(5) For Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System payments only:
(i) Name, address, telegraphic abbreviation, and the 9-digit
Routing Transit Number for the Contractor's financial agent.
(ii) If the Contractor's financial agent is not directly
on-line to the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System and, therefore, not the
receiver of the wire transfer payment, the Contractor shall also provide the
name, address, and 9-digit Routing Transit Number of the correspondent financial
institution receiving the wire transfer payment.
(e) Suspension of payment.
(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other clause of this
contract, the Government is not required to make any payment under this contract
until after receipt, by the designated payment office, of the correct EFT
payment information from the Contractor or a certificate submitted in accordance
with paragraph (b) of this clause. Until receipt of the correct EFT information,
any invoice or contract financing request shall be deemed not to be a valid
invoice or contract financing request as defined in the Prompt Payment clause of
this contract.
(2) If the UT information changes after submission of correct EFT
information, the Government shall begin using the changed EFT information no
later than the 30th day after its receipt to the extent payment is made by EFT.
However, the Contractor may request that no further payments be made until the
changed EFT information is implemented by the payment office. If such suspension
would result in a late payment under the Prompt Payment clause of this contract,
the Contractor's request
Page I-35
Contract Clauses 12/17/97
91
RFP3-085970 Section I
for suspension shall extend the due date for payment by the number of days of
the suspension.
(f) Contractor EFT arrangements. The Contractor shall designate a single
financial agent capable of receiving and processing the electronic funds
transfer using the EFT methods described in paragraph (d) of this clause. The
Contractor shall pay all fees and charges for receipt and processing of
transfers.
(g) Liability for uncompleted or erroneous transfers.
(1) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the
Government failed to use the Contractor-provided EFT information in the correct
manner, 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
Contractor-provided EFT information was incorrect at the time 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 retains the right to either make payment by mail or
suspend the payment in accordance with paragraph (e) of this clause.
(h) EFT and prompt payment.
(1) A payment shall be deemed to have been made in a timely manner
in accordance with the Prompt Payment clause of this contract if, in the EFT
payment transaction instruction given 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.
(2) When payment cannot be made by EFT because of incorrect EFT
information provided by the Contractor, no interest penalty is due after the
date of the uncompleted or erroneous payment transaction, provided that notice
of the defective EFT information is issued to the Contractor within 7 days after
the Government is notified of the defective EFT information.
Page I-36
Contract Clauses 12/17/97
92
RFP3-085970 Section I
(i) EFT and assignment of claims. If the Contractor assigns the proceeds
of this contract as provided for in the Assignment of Claims clause of this
contract the assignee shall provide the assignee EFT information required by
paragraph (d) of this clause. In all respects, the requirements of this clause
shall apply to the assignee as if it were the Contractor. EFT information which
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 (e) of this clause.
(j) Payment office discretion. If the Contractor does not wish to receive
payment by EFT methods for one or more payments, the Contractor may submit a
request to the designated payment office to refrain from requiring EFT
information or using the EFT payment method. The decision to grant the request
is solely that of the Government.
(k) Change of EFT information by financial agent. The Contractor agrees
that the Contractor's financial agent may notify the Government of a change to
the routing transit number, Contractor account number, or account type. The
Government shall use the changed data in accordance with paragraph (e)(2) of
this clause. The Contractor agrees that the information provided by the agent is
deemed to be correct information as if it were provided by the Contractor. The
Contractor agrees that the agent's notice of changed EFT data is deemed to be a
request by the Contractor in accordance with paragraph (e)(2) that no further
payments be made until the changed EFT information is implemented by the payment
office.

Contract Clauses 12/17/97
93
RFP3-085970 Section I

by applicable Federal and state workers' compensation and occupational disease
statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes,
they shall be covered under the employer's liability section of the insurance
policy, except when contract operations are so commingled with the Contractor's
commercial operations that it would not be practical. The employer's liability
coverage shall be at least $100,000, except in States with exclusive or
monopolistic funds that do not permit workers' compensation to be written by
private carriers.
(b) Comprehensive general (bodily injury) liability insurance of at least
$500,000 per occurrence.
(c) Motor vehicle liability insurance written on the comprehensive form of
policy which provides for bodily injury and property damage liability covering

contract. Policies covering motor vehicles operated in the United States shall
provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for
bodily injury liability and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage. The
amount of liability coverage on other policies shall be commensurate with any
legal requirements of the locality and sufficient to meet normal and customary
claims.
(d) Comprehensive general and motor vehicle liability policies shall
contain a provision worded as follows:
"The insurance company waives any right of subrogation against
the United States of America which may arise by reason of any payment under the
policy."
(e) When aircraft are used in connection with performing the contract,
aircraft public and passenger liability insurance of at least $200,000 per
person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, other than passenger
liability, and $200,000 per occurrence for property damage. Coverage for
passenger liability bodily injury shall be at least $200,000 multiplied by the
number of seats or passengers, whichever is greater.

(b) The Contractor agrees to perform or have performed work on the items
specified in paragraph (a) above up to the point at which, if this contract is
terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause
of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts
payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and
(g) of that clause would, in the exercise of reasonable judgment by the
Contractor, approximate the total amount at the time allotted to the contract.
The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance of the work beyond that
point. The Government is not obligated in any event to pay or reimburse the
Contractor more than the amount from time to time allotted to the contract,
anything to the contrary in the Termination for Convenience of the Government
clause notwithstanding.
(c) (1) It is contemplated that funds presently allotted to this contract
will cover the work to be performed until TBD.
(2) If funds allotted are considered by the Contractor to be
inadequate to cover the work to be performed until that date, or an agreed date
substituted for it, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in
writing when within the next 60 days the work will reach a point at which, if
the Contractor is terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the
Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government
(including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to
paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause will approximate 75 percent of the total

the Contracting Officer in writing as to the estimated amount of additional
funds required for the timely performance of the contract for a further period

(4) If, after the notification referred to in subdivision (3)(ii)
above, additional funds are not allotted by the date specified in subparagraph

upon the Contractor's written request terminate this contract on that date or on
the date set forth in the request, whichever is later, pursuant to the
Termination for Convenience of the Government clause.
(d) When additional funds are allotted from time to time for continued
performance of the work under this contract, the parties shall agree on the
applicable period of contract performance to be covered by these funds. The
provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall apply to these additional
allotted funds and the substituted date pertaining to them, and the contract
shall be modified accordingly.
(e) If, solely by reason of the Government's failure to allot additional
funds in amounts sufficient for the timely performance of this contract, the
Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work
under this contract, and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable
adjustment shall be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target,
billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the items to be delivered, or
in the time of delivery, or both.
(f) The Government may at any time before termination, and, with the
consent of the Contractor, after notice of termination, allot additional funds
for this contract.
(g) The provisions of this clause with respect to termination shall in no
way be deemed to limit the rights of the Government under the default clause of
this contract. The provisions of this Limitation of Funds clause are limited to
the work on and allotment of funds for the items set forth in paragraph (a)
above. This clause shall become inoperative upon the allotment of funds for the
total price of said work except for rights and obligations then existing under
this clause.

000
XXXXXXX X / REVISED

damaged and so commingled or combined with property of others (including the
Contractor's) that separation is impractical, the Contractor may, with the
approval of and subject to any conditions imposed by the Contracting Officer,
sell such property for the account of the Government. Such sales may be made in
order to minimize the loss to the Government, to permit the resumption of
business, or to accomplish a similar purpose. The Contractor shall be entitled
to an equitable adjustment in the contract price for the expenditures made in
performing the obligations under this subparagraph (g)(6) in accordance with

Government property or shall otherwise credit the proceeds to, or equitably
reimburse, the Government, as directed by the Contracting Officer.
(9) The Contractor shall do nothing to prejudice the Government's rights to
recover against third parties for any loss or destruction of, or damage to,
Government property. Upon the request of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor
shall, at the Government's expense, furnish to the Government all reasonable
assistance and cooperation (including the prosecution of suit and the execution
of instruments of assignment in favor of the Government) in obtaining recovery.
In addition, where a subcontractor has not been relieved from liability for any
loss or destruction of, or damage to, Government property,
Page G-23 / Revised
000
XXXXXXX X / REVISED
the Contractor shall enforce for the benefit of the Government the liability of
the subcontractor for such loss, destruction, or damage.
(h) Equitable adjustment. When this clause specifies an equitable adjustment, it
shall be made to any affected contract provision in accordance with the
procedures of the Changes clause. When appropriate, the Contracting Officer may
initiate an equitable adjustment in favor of the Government. The right to an
equitable adjustment shall be the Contractor's exclusive remedy. the Government
shall not be liable to suit for breach of contract for--

(2) Delivery of Government-furnished property in a condition not suitable for
its intended use;
(3) A decrease in or substitution of Government-furnished property; or
(4) Failure to repair or replace Government property for which the Government is
responsible.
(i) Final accounting and disposition of Government property. Upon completing
this contract, or at such earlier dates as may be fixed by the Contracting
Officer, the Contractor shall submit, in a form acceptable to the Contracting
Officer, inventory schedules covering all items of Government property not
consumed in performing this contract or delivered to the Government. The
Contractor shall prepare for shipment, deliver f.o.b. origin, or dispose of the
Government property as may be directed or authorized by the Contracting Officer.
The net proceeds of any such disposal shall be credited to the cost of the work
covered by this contract or paid to the Government as directed by the
Contracting Officer. The foregoing provisions shall apply to scrap from
Government property; provided, however, that the Contracting Officer may
authorize or direct the Contractor to omit from such inventory schedules any
scrap consisting of faulty castings or forgings or of cutting and processing
waste, such as chips, cuttings, borings, turnings, short ends, circles,
trimmings, clippings, and remnants, and to dispose of such scrap in accordance
with the Contractor's normal practice and account for it as a part of general
overhead or other reimbursable costs in accordance with the Contractor's
established accounting procedures.
(j) Abandonment and restoration of Contractor premises. Unless otherwise
provided herein, the Government--
(1) May abandon any Government property in place, at which time all obligations
of the Government regarding such abandoned property shall cease; and
Page G-24 / Revised
000
XXXXXXX X / REVISED
(2) Has no obligation to restore or rehabilitate the Contractor's premises under
any circumstances (e.g., abandonment, disposition upon completion of need, or
contract completion). However, if the Government-furnished property (listed in
the Schedule or specifications) is withdrawn or is unsuitable for the intended
use, or if other Government property is substituted, then the equitable
adjustment under paragraph (h) of this clause may properly include restoration
or rehabilitation costs.
(k) Communications. All communications under this clause shall be in writing.
(l) Overseas contracts. If this contract is to be performed outside the United
States of America, its territories, or possessions, the words "Government" and
"Government-furnished" (wherever they appear in this clause) shall be construed
as "United States Government" and "United States Government-furnished,"

SECTION I / REVISED
The Contractor's license extends to its domestic subsidiaries and affiliates, if
any, within the corporate structure of which the Contractor is a party and

after the notice to show cause why the license should not be revoked or
modified. The Contractor has the right to appeal to the Administrator any
decision concerning the revocation or modification of its license.
(e) Invention identification, disclosures, and reports.
(1) The Contractor shall establish and maintain active and effective procedures
to assure that reportable items are promptly identified and disclosed to

items, and listing all subcontracts at any tier containing a patent rights
clause or certifying that there were no such subcontracts.
(4) The Contractor agrees, upon written request of the Contracting Officer, to
furnish additional technical and other information available to the Contractor
as is necessary for the preparation of a patent application on a subject
invention and for the prosecution of the patent application, and to execute all
papers necessary to file patent applications on subject inventions and to
establish the Government's rights in the subject inventions.
(5) The Contractor agrees, subject to paragraph 27.302(i), of the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR), that the Government may duplicate and disclose
subject invention disclosures and all other reports and papers furnished or

(3) Any examination of records under this paragraph will be subject to
appropriate conditions to protect the confidentiality of the information
involved.
(g) Withholding of payment (this paragraph does not apply to subcontracts).
(1) Any time before final payment under this contract, the Contracting Officer
may, in the Government's interest, withhold payment until a reserve not
exceeding $50,000 or 5 percent of the amount of this contract, whichever is
less, shall have been set aside if, in the Contracting Officer's opinion, the
Contractor fails to--

disclosing reportable items pursuant to paragraph (e)(1) of this clause;
(ii) Disclose any reportable items pursuant to paragraph (e)(2) of this clause;
(iii) Deliver acceptable interim reports pursuant to paragraph (e)(3)(i) of this
clause; or
(iv) Provide the information regarding subcontracts pursuant to paragraph (h)(4)

reimburse, the Government, as directed by the Contracting Officer.

recover against third parties for any loss or destruction of, or damage to,

covered by this contract or paid to the Government as directed by the
Contracting Officer. The foregoing provisions shall apply to scrap from
Government property; provided, however, that the Contracting Officer may
authorize or direct the Contractor to omit from such inventory schedules any
scrap consisting of faulty castings or forgings or of cutting and processing
waste, such as chips, cuttings, borings, turnings, short ends, circles,
trimmings, clippings, and remnants, and to dispose of such scrap in accordance
with the Contractor's normal practice and account for it as a part of general
overhead or other reimbursable costs in accordance with the Contractor's
established accounting procedures.
(j) Abandonment and restoration of Contractor premises. Unless otherwise
provided herein, the Government--

of the Government regarding such abandoned property shall cease; and
Page G-24 / Revised
000

use, or if other Government property is substituted, then the equitable
adjustment under paragraph (h) of this clause may properly include restoration
or rehabilitation costs.

modified. The Contractor has the right to appeal to the Administrator any
decision concerning the revocation or modification of its license.
(e) Invention identification, disclosures, and reports.
(1) The Contractor shall establish and maintain active and effective procedures

publication of such invention known to the Contractor. The disclosure to the
agency shall be in the form of a written report and shall identify the contract
under which the reportable item was made and the inventor(s) or innovator(s). It
shall be sufficiently complete in technical detail to convey a clear
understanding, to the extent known at the time of the disclosure, of the nature,
purpose, operation, and physical, chemical, biological, or electrical
characteristics of the reportable item. The disclosure shall also identify any
publication, on sale, or public use of any subject invention and whether a
manuscript describing such invention has been submitted for publication and, if
so, whether it has been accepted for publication at the time of disclosure. In
addition, after disclosure to the agency, the Contractor will promptly notify
the agency of the acceptance of any manuscript describing a subject invention
for publication or of any on sale or public use planned by the Contractor for
such invention.
(3) The Contractor shall furnish the Contracting Officer the following:
(i) Interim reports every 12 months (or such longer period as may be specified
by the Contracting Officer) from the date of the contract, listing reportable
items during that period, and certifying that all reportable items have been
disclosed (or that there are no such inventions) and that the procedures
required by paragraph (e)(l) of this clause have been followed.
(ii) A final report, within 3 months after completion of the contracted work,
listing all reportable items or certifying that there were no such reportable
items, and listing all subcontracts at any tier containing a patent rights
clause or certifying that there were no such subcontracts.
(4) The Contractor agrees, upon written request of the Contracting Officer, to
furnish additional technical and other information available to the Contractor
as is necessary for the preparation of a patent application on a subject
invention and for the prosecution of the patent application, and to execute all
papers necessary to file patent applications on subject inventions and to
establish the Government's rights in the subject inventions.
(5) The Contractor agrees, subject to paragraph 27.302(i), of the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR), that the Government may duplicate and disclose
subject invention disclosures and all other reports and papers furnished or
required to be furnished pursuant to this clause.
(f) Examination of records relating to inventions.

SECTION I / REVISED
(1) The Contracting Officer or any authorized representative shall, until 3
years after final payment under this contract, have the right to examine any
books (including laboratory notebooks), records, and documents of the Contractor
relating to the conception or first actual reduction to practice of inventions
in the same field of technology as the work under this contract to determine
whether--
(i) Any such inventions are subject inventions;
(ii) The Contractor has established and maintained the procedures required by
paragraph (e)(1) of this clause; and
(iii) The Contractor and its inventors have complied with the procedures.
(2) If the Contracting Officer learns of an unreported Contractor invention that
the Contracting Officer believes may be a subject invention, the Contractor may
be required to disclose the invention to the agency for a determination of
ownership rights.
(3) Any examination of records under this paragraph will be subject to
appropriate conditions to protect the confidentiality of the information
involved.
(g) Withholding of payment (this paragraph does not apply to subcontracts).
(1) Any time before final payment under this contract, the Contracting Officer
may, in the Government's interest, withhold payment until a reserve not
exceeding $50,000 or 5 percent of the amount of this contract, whichever is
less, shall have been set aside if, in the Contracting Officer's opinion, the
Contractor fails to--
(i) Establish, maintain, and follow effective procedures for identifying and
disclosing reportable items pursuant to paragraph (e)(1) of this clause;
(ii) Disclose any reportable items pursuant to paragraph (e)(2) of this clause;
(iii) Deliver acceptable interim reports pursuant to paragraph (e)(3)(i) of this
clause; or
(iv) Provide the information regarding subcontracts pursuant to paragraph (h)(4)
of this clause.
(2) Such reserve or balance shall be withheld until the Contracting Officer has
determined that the Contractor has rectified whatever deficiencies exist and has
delivered all reports, disclosures, and other information required by this
clause.
(3) Final payment under this contract shall not be made before the Contractor
delivers to
Page I-48 / Revised
157
SECTION I / REVISED
the Contracting Officer all disclosures of reportable items required by
paragraph (e)(2) of this clause, and an acceptable final report pursuant to
paragraph (e)(3)(ii) of this clause.
(4) The Contracting Officer may decrease or increase the sums withheld up to the
maximum authorized above. No amount shall be withheld under this paragraph while
the amount specified by this paragraph is being withheld under other provisions
of the contract, the withholding of any amount or the subsequent payment thereof
shall not be construed as a waiver of any Government rights.
(h) Subcontracts.
(1) Unless otherwise authorized or directed by the Contracting Officer, the
Contractor shall--
(i) Include this clause (suitably modified to identify the parties) in any
subcontract hereunder (regardless of tier) with other than a small business firm
or nonprofit organization for the performance of experimental, developmental, or
research work; and
(ii) Include the clause at FAR 52.227-11 (suitably modified to identify the
parties) in any subcontract hereunder (regardless of tier) with a small business
firm or nonprofit organization for the performance of experimental,
developmental, or research work.
(2) In the event of a refusal by a prospective subcontractor to accept such a
clause the Contractor--
(i) Shall promptly submit a written notice to the Contracting Officer setting
forth the subcontractor's reasons for such refusal and other pertinent
information that may expedite disposition of the matter; and
(ii) Shall not proceed with such subcontract without the written authorization
of the Contracting Officer.
(3) In the case of subcontracts at any tier, the agency, subcontractor, and
Contractor agree that the mutual obligations of the parties created by this
clause constitute a contract between the subcontractor and NASA with respect to
those matters covered by this clause.
(4) The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing upon
the award of any subcontract at any tier containing a patent rights clause by
identifying the subcontractor, the applicable patent rights clause, the work to
be performed under the subcontract, and the dates of award and estimated
completion. Upon request of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall
furnish a copy of such subcontract, and, no more frequently than annually, a
listing of the subcontracts that have been awarded.

SECTION I / REVISED
(5) The subcontractor will retain all rights provided for the Contractor in the
clause of subparagraph (h)(1)(i) or (ii) of this clause, whichever is included
in the subcontract, and the Contractor will not, as part of the consideration
for awarding the subcontract, obtain rights in the subcontractor's subject
inventions.
(i) Preference for United States industry. Unless provided otherwise, no
Contractor that receives title to any subject invention and no assignee of any
such Contractor shall grant to any person the exclusive right to use or sell any
subject invention in the United States unless such person agrees that any
products embodying the subject invention will be manufactured substantially in
the United States. However, in individual cases, the requirement may be waived
by the Administrator upon a showing by the Contractor or assignee that
reasonable but unsuccessful efforts have been made to grant licenses on similar
terms to potential licensees that would be likely to manufacture substantially
in the United States or that under the circumstances domestic manufacture is not
commercially feasible.
