SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES: Small Business Participation

SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Acquisition Service. To enhance Small Business Participation SBA policy allows agencies to include in their procurement base and

goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be placed against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to

report accomplishments against these goals.

For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the

catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by

using the GSA Advantage! on-line shopping service (www.gsaadvantage.gov). The catalogs/pricelists,

GSA Advantage! and the Federal Acquisition Service Home Page (www.gsa.gov/fas) contain information

on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns.

This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding established

small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when selecting pricelists for a best value

determination.

For orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small

business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

4. Geographic Scope of Contract

Domestic delivery is delivery within the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Washington, DC, and U.S. Territories. Domestic delivery also includes a port or consolidation point, within the

aforementioned areas, for orders received from overseas activities.

Overseas delivery is delivery to points outside of the 48 contiguous states, Washington, DC, Alaska,

Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Territories.

The Geographic Scope of Contract will be domestic and overseas delivery.

13. Contractor Tasks/Special Requirements (C-FSS-370) (NOV 2003)

a. Security Clearances: The Contractor may be required to obtain/possess varying levels of security

clearances in the performance of orders issued under this contract. All costs associated with obtaining/possessing such security clearances should be factored into the price offered under the

Multiple Award Schedule.

b. Travel: The Contractor may be required to travel in performance of orders issued under this

contract. Allowable travel and per diem charges are governed by Pub .L. 99-234 and FAR Part 31, and are reimbursable by the ordering agency or can be priced as a fixed price item on orders

placed under the Multiple Award Schedule. Travel in performance of a task order will only be

reimbursable to the extent authorized by the ordering agency. The Industrial Funding Fee does NOT apply to travel and per diem charges.

c. Certifications, Licenses and Accreditations: As a commercial practice, the Contractor may be

required to obtain/possess any variety of certifications, licenses and accreditations for specific FSC/service code classifications offered. All costs associated with obtaining/possessing such

certifications, licenses, and accreditations should be factored into the price offered under the Multiple Award Schedule program.

coverage for specific FSC/service code classifications offered. All costs associated with

obtaining/possessing such insurance should be factored into the price offered under the Multiple Award Schedule program.

j. Availability of Funds: Many Government agencies’ operating funds are appropriated for a specific fiscal year. Funds may not be presently available for any orders placed under the contract or any

option year. The Government’s obligation on orders placed under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for ordering purposes can be made. No

legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are available to

the ordering Contracting Officer.


k. Overtime: For professional services, the labor rates in the Schedule should not vary by virtue of the Contractor having worked overtime. For non-exempt services applicable to the Fair Labor

Standards Act (FLSA) (as identified in the Schedule), the labor rates in the Schedule will vary as

governed by labor laws (usually assessed at time and a half of the labor rate). (See paragraph e. Other Direct Costs, for additional information.)

must follow FAR 8.402(f).

For administrative convenience, an ordering activity contracting officer may add items not on the Federal Supply Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) -- referred to as open market items -- to a Federal Supply

Schedule blanket purchase agreement (BPA) or an individual task or delivery order, only if-

(1) All applicable acquisition regulations pertaining to the purchase of the items not on the Federal Supply Schedule have been followed (e.g., publicizing (Part 5), competition requirements (Part

6), acquisition of commercial items (Part 12), contracting methods (Parts 13, 14, and 15), and small business programs (Part 19));

Upon the request of Northrop Grumman, the ordering activity may provide logistics support, as available,

in accordance with all applicable ordering activity regulations. Such ordering activity support will be

provided on a reimbursable basis, and will only be provided to Northrop Grumman technical personnel

whose services are exclusively required for the fulfillment of the terms and conditions of this contract.

19. Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs)

The use of BPAs under any schedule contract to fill repetitive needs for supplies or services is allowable.

BPAs may be established with one or more schedule contractors. The number of BPAs to be established is

within the discretion of the ordering activity establishing the BPA and should be based on a strategy that is expected to maximize the effectiveness of the BPA(s). Ordering activities shall follow FAR 8.405-3 when

creating and implementing BPA(s).

20. Contractor Team Arrangements

Contractors participating in Contractor Team Arrangements must abide by all terms and conditions of their respective contracts. This includes compliance with clause 552.238-80, Industrial Funding Fee and

Sales Reporting, i.e., each contractor (team member) must report sales and remit the IFF for all products

and services provided under its individual contract.

21. Installation, Deinstallation, Reinstallation

The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of $2,000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party for construction, alteration, or repair (including

painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed directly upon the site of the work shall receive less than the

prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act

do not apply if the construction work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple installation or alteration of a public building or

public work that is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply contract. However, if the construction, alteration, or repair is segregable and exceeds $2,000, then the requirement of the Davis-

Bacon Act applies.

The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will be responsible for proper administration and enforcement of the Federal labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act. The

proper Davis-Bacon wage determination will be issued by the ordering activity at the time a request for quotations is made for applicable construction classified installation, deinstallation, and reinstallation

services under SIN 33411 or SIN 33411REF.

22. Section 508 Compliance

I certify that in accordance with 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794d), FAR 39.2, and the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board Electronic and Information

Technology (EIT) Accessibility Standards (36 CFR 1194) General Services Administration (GSA), that all IT services are 508 compliant: Yes – Northrop Grumman will comply as specified in each individual delivery

order. The EIT standard can be found at: www.Section508.gov.

23. Prime Contractor Ordering From Federal Supply Schedules

include with each order:

http://www.section508.gov/


(a) A copy of the authorization from the ordering activity with whom the contractor has the prime contract (unless a copy was previously furnished to the Federal Supply Schedule contractor); and

(b) The following statement: “This order is placed under written authorization from dated

. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this order and

those of your Federal Supply Schedule contract, the latter will govern.”

24. Insurance–Work on a Government Installation (JAN 1997) (FAR 52.228-5)

a. The Contractor shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain during the entire performance of this contract, at least the kinds and minimum amounts of insurance required in the Schedule or

elsewhere in the contract.

28. Terms and Conditions for Northrop Grumman Services

a. Work Hours

All services will be performed during the agency's normal prime shift working hours, if services are performed at the government site. For services performed at a Northrop Grumman (contractor) facility,

c. Service Contract Act

Any non-professional labor categories that fall under the Service Contract Act of 1965, as

amended, must be incidental to and used solely in support of the cybersecurity services,

professional services, and health IT services and cannot be purchased separately. The Service Contract Act (SCA) may be applicable to this GSA Schedule contract and the labor categories

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Order-Level-Materials (Special Item Number OLM)

Order-Level Materials (OLMs) are supplies and/or services acquired in direct support of an

individual task or delivery order placed against a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract or FSS blanket purchase agreement (BPA). OLMs are not defined, priced, or awarded at the FSS

contract level. They are unknown before a task or delivery order is placed against the FSS

contract or FSS BPA. OLMs are only authorized for inclusion at the order level under a Time-and-Materials (T&M) or Labor-Hour (LH) Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) and are subject

to a Not-To-Exceed (NTE) ceiling price. OLMs include direct materials, subcontracts for supplies and incidental services for which there is not a labor category specified in the FSS

Ancillary supplies/services and ODC SINs are for use under all order type CLINs (Fixed- Price (FP), T&M, and LH), whereas the Order-Level Materials SIN is only authorized for use under T&M and LH order CLINs. The Order-Level Materials SIN is only authorized for use in direct support of another awarded SIN. Price analysis for OLMs is not conducted when awarding the FSS contract or FSS BPA; therefore, GSAR 538.270 and 538.271 do not apply to OLMs. OLMs are defined and priced

at the ordering activity level in accordance with GSAR clause 552.238-115 Special Ordering Procedures for the Acquisition of Order-Level Materials. Prices for items provided under the Order-Level Materials SIN must be inclusive of the Industrial Funding Fee (IFF).
