(c)                                   Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any license agreement governing the use of any computer software to be delivered as a result of this contract must be paid-up and perpetual, or so nearly perpetual as to allow the use of the computer software or computer data base with the equipment for which it is obtained, or any replacement equipment, for so long as such equipment is used.  Otherwise the computer software or computer database does not meet the minimum functional requirements of this contract. In the event that there is any routine to disable the computer software or computer database after the software is developed for or delivered to the Government, that routine shall not disable the computer software or computer database until at least twenty-five calendar years after the delivery date of the affected computer software or computer database to the Government.

 

(d)                                  No copy protection devices or systems shall be used in any computer software or computer database delivered under this contract to restrict or limit the Government from making copies.  This does not prohibit license agreements from specifying the maximum amount of copies that can be made.

 

(e)                                   Delivery by the Contractor to the Government of certain technical data and other data is now frequently required in digital form rather than as hard copy.  Such delivery may cause confusion between data rights and computer software rights.  It is agreed that, to the extent that any such data is computer software by virtue of its delivery in digital form, the Government will be licensed to use that digital-form with exactly the same rights and limitations as if the data had been delivered as hard copy.

 

(f)                                     Any limited rights legends or other allowed legends placed by a Contractor on technical data or other data delivered in digital form shall be digitally included on the same media as the digital-form data and must be associated with the corresponding digital-form technical data to which the legends apply to the extent possible.  Such legends shall also be placed in human readable form on a visible surface of the media carrying the digital-form data as delivered, to the extent possible.

5252.216-9122  LEVEL OF EFFORT (DEC 2000)

 

(a)  The Contractor agrees to provide the total level of effort specified in the next sentence in performance of the work described in Sections B and C of this contract.  The total level of effort for the performance of this contract shall be 10,000 total man-hours of direct labor, including subcontractor direct labor for those subcontractors specifically identified in the Contractor’s proposal as having hours included in the proposed level of effort.

 

(b)  Of the total man-hours of direct labor set forth above, it is estimated that 0 (Offeror to fill-in) man-hours are uncompensated effort.

 

Uncompensated effort is defined as hours provided by personnel in excess of 40 hours per week without additional compensation for such excess work.  All other effort is defined as compensated effort.  If no effort is indicated in the first sentence of this paragraph, uncompensated effort performed by the Contractor shall not be counted in fulfillment of the level of effort obligations under this contract.

 

25

 

(c)  Effort performed in fulfilling the total level of effort obligations specified above shall only include effort performed in direct support of this contract and shall not include time and effort expended on such things as (local travel to and from an employee’s usual work location), uncompensated effort while on travel status, truncated lunch periods, work (actual or inferred) at an employee’s residence or other non-work locations (except as provided in paragraph (j) below), or other time and effort which does not have a specific and direct contribution to the tasks described in Sections B and C.

 

(d)  The level of effort for this contract shall be expended at an average rate of approximately   hours per week.  It is understood and agreed that the rate of man-hours per month may fluctuate in pursuit of the technical objective, provided such fluctuation does not result in the use of the total man-hours of effort prior to the expiration of the term hereof, except as provided in the following paragraph.

 

(e)  If, during the term hereof, the Contractor finds it necessary to accelerate the expenditure of direct labor to such an extent that the total man-hours of effort specified above would be used prior to the expiration of the term, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing setting forth the acceleration required, the probable benefits which would result, and an offer to undertake the acceleration at no increase in the estimated cost or fee together with an offer, setting forth a proposed level of effort, cost breakdown, and proposed fee, for continuation of the work until expiration of the term hereof.  The offer shall provide that the work proposed will be subject to the terms and conditions of this contract and any additions or changes required by then current law, regulations, or directives, and that the offer, with a written notice of acceptance by the Contracting Officer, shall constitute a binding contract.  The Contractor shall not accelerate any effort until receipt of such written approval by the Contracting Officer.  Any agreement to accelerate will be formalized by contract modification.

 

(f)  The Contracting Officer may, by written order, direct the Contractor to accelerate the expenditure of direct labor such that the total man-hours of effort specified in paragraph (a) above would be used prior to the expiration of the term.  This order shall specify the acceleration required and the resulting revised term.  The Contractor shall acknowledge this order within five days of receipt.

 

(g)  If the total level of effort specified in paragraph (a) above is not provided by the Contractor during the period of this contract, the Contracting Officer, at its sole discretion, shall either (i) reduce the fee of this contract as follows:

 

 

or (ii) subject to the provisions of the clause of this contract entitled “LIMITATION OF COST” (FAR 52.232-20) or “LIMITATION OF COST (FACILITIES)” (FAR 52.232-21), as applicable, require the Contractor to continue to perform the work until the total number of man-hours of direct labor specified in paragraph (a) above shall have been expended, at no increase in the fee of this contract.

 

(h)  The Contractor shall provide and maintain an accounting system, acceptable to the Administrative Contracting Officer and the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), which collects costs incurred and effort (compensated and uncompensated, if any) provided in fulfillment of the level of effort obligations of this contract.  The Contractor shall indicate on each invoice the total level of effort claimed during the period covered by the invoice, separately identifying compensated effort and uncompensated effort, if any.

 

(i)  Within 45 days after completion of the work under each separately identified period of performance hereunder, the Contractor shall submit the following information in writing to the Contracting Officer with copies to the cognizant Contract Administration Office and to the DCAA office to which vouchers are submitted:  (1) the total number of man-hours of direct labor expended during the applicable period; (2) a breakdown of this total showing the number of man-hours expended in each direct labor classification and associated direct and indirect costs; (3) a breakdown of other costs incurred; and (4) the Contractor’s estimate of the total allowable cost incurred under the contract for the period.  Within 45 days after completion of the work under the contract, the Contractor shall submit, in addition, in the case of a cost underrun; (5) the amount by which the estimated cost of this contract may be

 

26

 

reduced to recover excess funds and, in the case of an underrun in hours specified as the total level of effort; and (6) a calculation of the appropriate fee reduction in accordance with this clause.  All submissions shall include subcontractor information.

 

(j) Unless the Contracting Officer determines that alternative worksite arrangements are detrimental to contract performance, the Contractor may perform up to 10% of the hours at an alternative worksite, provided the Contractor has a company-approved alternative worksite plan.  The primary worksite is the traditional “main office” worksite. An alternative worksite means an employee’s residence or a telecommuting center.  A telecommuting center is a geographically convenient office setting as an alternative to an employee’s main office. The Government reserves the right to review the Contractor’s alternative worksite plan. In the event performance becomes unacceptable, the Contractor will be prohibited from counting the hours performed at the alternative worksite in fulfilling the total level of effort obligations of the contract. Regardless of work location, all contract terms and conditions, including security requirements and labor laws, remain in effect.  The Government shall not incur any additional cost nor provide additional equipment for contract performance as a result of the Contractor’s election to implement an alternative worksite plan.

 

(k) Notwithstanding any of the provisions in the above paragraphs, the Contractor may furnish man-hours up to five percent in excess of the total man-hours specified in paragraph (a) above, provided that the additional effort is furnished within the term hereof, and provided further that no increase in the estimated cost or fee is required.

 

NAVSEA 5252.227-9113  GOVERNMENT-INDUSTRY DATA EXCHANGE PROGRAM (OCT 2006)

 

(a) The Contractor shall participate in the appropriate interchange of the Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) in accordance with NAVSEA S0300-BU-GYD-010 dated November 1994.  Data entered is retained by the program and provided to qualified participants.  Compliance with this requirement shall not relieve the Contractor from complying with any other requirement of the contract.

NAVSEA 5252.245-9106  FACILITIES TO BE GOVERNMENT FURNISHED (COST-REIMBURSEMENT) (APR 2008)

 

(a)(1)  The estimated cost and fee, if any, and delivery schedule set forth in this contract contemplate the rent free use of the facilities identified in paragraph (b) below and in paragraph (d) (applicable only for research and development contracts) if such paragraph (d) is added to this requirement.  If the Government limits or terminates the Contractor’s rent free use of said facilities, and such action affects the ability of the Contractor to perform this contract in accordance with its terms and conditions, then an equitable adjustment in the estimated cost and fee, if any, or delivery schedule, or both, shall be made pursuant to the clause entitled “CHANGES- COST-REIMBURSEMENT” (FAR 52.243 2), provided, however, that if the limitation or termination is due to failure by the Contractor to perform its obligations under this contract, the Contractor shall be entitled only to such adjustment as the Contracting Officer determines as a fact to be appropriate under the circumstances.

 

(2)  For the purposes of this requirement, facilities means industrial property (other than material, special tooling, military property, and special test equipment) for production, maintenance, research, development, or test, including real property and rights therein, buildings, structures, improvements, and plant equipment as defined in FAR Part 45.

 

(b)  The Contractor is authorized to acquire or use the facilities described below upon the prior written approval of the cognizant Contract Administration Office, which shall determine that such facilities are required to carry out the work provided for by this contract.  Immediately upon delivery of each item of approved facilities to the Contractor’s plant, the Contractor shall notify the cognizant Contract Administration Office of the receipt of such facilities owned by the Government, which shall be made a part of the plant account assigned to the Contractor at that location.

 

DESCRIPTION AND IDENTITY OF FACILITIES

 

(c)(1)  In the event that the cumulative total acquisition costs (actual or estimated) of all facilities provided by the Naval Sea Systems Command to the Contractor at the same plant or general location (including the facilities to be furnished hereunder) does not exceed $50,000, such facilities shall be provided to the Contractor as Government Property subject to and in accordance with the clause entitled “GOVERNMENT PROPERTY” (FAR 52.245 1), unless there is in existence a facilities management contract at the same plant or general location.

 

(2)  In the event there is in existence a facilities management contract effective at the same plant or general location, the facilities provided hereunder shall be made subject to all the terms and conditions of the facilities management contract.

 

(d) In addition to those items of facilities identified in paragraph (b) above, the following items may be required for the complete performance of the work called for by this contract:

 

ADDITIONAL ITEMS OF FACILITIES

 

Accordingly, the right of the parties to agree upon such additional facilities during the term of performance of this contract is hereby expressly reserved.  The aggregate total value of facilities provided shall in no case exceed $50,000 at any one plant or general location.

52.215-21      REQUIREMENTS FOR COST OR PRICING DATA OR INFORMATION OTHER THAN COST OR PRICING DATA—MODIFICATIONS (OCT 1997)

 

(a) Exceptions from cost or pricing data. (1) In lieu of submitting cost or pricing data for modifications under this contract, for price adjustments expected to exceed the threshold set forth at FAR 15.403-4 on the date of the agreement on price or the date of the award, whichever is later, the Contractor may submit a written request for exception by submitting the information described in the following subparagraphs. The Contracting Officer may require additional supporting information, but only to the extent necessary to determine whether an exception should be granted, and whether the price is fair and reasonable—

 

(i) Identification of the law or  regulation  establishing the price offered. If the price is controlled under law by periodic rulings, reviews, or similar actions of a governmental body, attach a copy of the controlling document, unless it was previously submitted to the contracting office.

 

(ii) Information on modifications of contracts or subcontracts for commercial items. (A) If—

 

(1) The original contract or subcontract was granted an exception from cost or pricing data requirements because the price agreed upon was based on adequate price competition or prices set by law or  regulation, or was a contract or subcontract for the  acquisition  of a commercial item; and

 

(2) The modification (to the contract or subcontract) is not exempted based on one of these exceptions, then the Contractor may provide information to establish that the modification would not change the contract or subcontract from a contract or subcontract for the  acquisition  of a commercial item to a contract or subcontract for the  acquisition  of an item other than a commercial item.

 

(B) For a commercial item exception, the Contractor shall provide, at a minimum, information on prices at which the same item or similar items have previously been sold that is adequate for evaluating the reasonableness of the price of the modification. Such information may include—

 

(1) For catalog items, a copy of or identification of the catalog and its date, or the appropriate pages for the offered items, or a statement that the catalog is on file in the buying office to which the proposal is  being submitted. Provide a copy or describe current discount policies and price lists (published or unpublished), e.g., wholesale, original equipment manufacturer, or reseller. Also explain the basis of each offered price and its relationship to the established catalog price, including how the proposed price relates to the price of recent sales in quantities similar to the proposed quantities.

 

(2) For market-priced items, the source and date or period of the market quotation or other basis for market price, the base amount, and applicable discounts. In addition, describe the nature of the market.

 

(3) For items included on an active  Federal  Supply Service Multiple Award Schedule contract, proof that an exception has been granted for the schedule item.

 

(2) The Contractor grants the Contracting Officer or an authorized representative the right to examine, at any time before award, books, records, documents, or other directly pertinent records to verify any request for an exception under this clause, and the reasonableness of price. For items priced using catalog or market prices, or law or  regulation , access does not extend to cost or profit information or other data relevant solely to the Contractor’s determination of the prices to be offered in the catalog or marketplace.

 

(b) Requirements for cost or pricing data. If the Contractor is not granted an exception from the requirement to submit cost or pricing data, the following applies:

 

(1) The Contractor shall submit cost or pricing data and supporting attachments in accordance with Table 15-2 of FAR 15.408.

 

36

 

As soon as practicable after agreement on price, but before award (except for unpriced actions), the Contractor shall submit a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data, as prescribed by FAR 15.406-2.

52.222-2      PAYMENT FOR OVERTIME PREMIUMS (JUL 1990)

 

(a) The use of overtime is authorized under this contract if the overtime premium cost does not exceed ZERO or the overtime premium is paid for work —

 

(1) Necessary to cope with emergencies such as those resulting from accidents, natural disasters, breakdowns of production equipment, or occasional production bottlenecks of a sporadic nature;

 

(2) By indirect-labor employees such as those performing duties in connection with administration, protection, transportation, maintenance, standby plant protection, operation of utilities, or accounting;

 

(3) To perform tests, industrial processes, laboratory procedures, loading or unloading of transportation conveyances, and operations in flight or afloat that are continuous in nature and cannot reasonably be interrupted or completed otherwise; or

 

(4) That will result in lower overall costs to the Government.

 

(b) Any request for estimated overtime premiums that exceeds the amount specified above shall include all estimated overtime for contract completion and shall—

 

(1) Identify the work unit; e.g., department or section in which the requested overtime will be used, together with present workload, staffing, and other data of the affected unit sufficient to permit the Contracting Officer to evaluate the necessity for the overtime;

 

(2) Demonstrate the effect that denial of the request will have on the contract delivery or performance schedule;

52.222-39 NOTIFICATION OF EMPLOYEE RIGHTS CONCERNING PAYMENT OF UNION DUES OR FEES (DEC 2004)

 

(a) Definition. As used in this clause—

 

United States means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Wake Island.

 

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this clause, during the term of this contract, the Contractor shall post a notice, in the form of a poster, informing employees of their rights concerning union membership and payment of union dues and fees, in conspicuous places in and about all its plants and offices, including all places where notices to employees are customarily posted. The notice shall include the following information (except that the information pertaining to National Labor Relations Board shall not be included in notices posted in the plants or offices of carriers subject to the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 151-188)).

 

Notice to Employees

 

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 collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance adjustment, you may be entitled to a refund and to an appropriate reduction in future payments.

 

For further information concerning your rights, you may wish to contact the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) either at one of its Regional offices or at the following address or toll free number:
