Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentality (NAFI). A DoD organizational and fiscal entity supported in whole or in part by Nonappropriated Funds. A NAFI, as an instrumentality of the U.S. Government, enjoys the same immunities and privileges as the U.S. Government in the absence of specific Federal statute.

References to United States, the Government, and other related references will generally be implied to mean the NAFI throughout this contract. 2. LEGAL STATUS - The Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentality (NAFI), which is party to this contract, is an integral part of the Department of Defense and is an instrumentality of the United States Government. No appropriated funds of the United States shall become due or be paid the Contractor by reason of this contract. 3. CLAIMS a.

"Claims," as used in this clause, means the inability of a Contractor and the Contracting Officer to reach a mutual agreement related to contractual issues in controversy resulting in the filing of a written demand or assertion seeking payment of money, adjustment or interpretation of contract, or other relief, and issuance of a Contracting Officers final decision. A voucher, invoice, or other routine request for payment that is not in dispute when submitted is not a claim under this clause. The submission may be converted to a claim under this clause, by complying with the submission requirements of this clause, if it is disputed either as to liability or amount or is not acted upon in a reasonable time. c. (1) A claim by the Contractor shall be made in writing and submitted to the Contracting Officer for a written decision. A claim by the NAFI against the Contractor shall be subject to a written decision by the Contracting Officer.

For contract claims of $150,000 or less, the Contracting Officer must, if requested in writing by the Contractor, render a decision within 60 days of the request. For Contractor certified claims over $150,000, the Contracting Officer must, within 60 days, decide the claim or notify the Contractor of the date by which the decision will be made. e.

ADVERTISEMENTS - The Contractor shall not represent in any manner, expressly or by implication, that items or services purchased or sold under this contract are approved or endorsed by any element of the U.S. Government, including the NAFI. All Contractor advertisements that refer to the NAFI or a NAFI activity will contain a statement that the advertisement was neither paid for nor sponsored, in whole or in part, by the U.S. Government or the NAFI. 6. EXAMINATION OF RECORDS a.

Nothing contained herein, however, shall relieve or be construed as relieving the NAFI or any other agency or instrumentality of the United States from any liability resulting from its negligence. 8. INSURANCE a. The Contractor shall, at its own expense, provide and maintain during the entire performance period of this contract at least the insurance coverage as stated in this contract.

All certificates of insurance must list the NAFI as the certificate holder, name the NAFI and the United States as additional insureds, and carry an endorsement waiving the Contractors rights to subrogation against the NAFI and the United States. 9.

(2) That no information proprietary to other offerors or other contracting information (offeror list, prices offered, technical evaluations, rankings, etc.) is sought or obtained until it is available to the public under NAFI procedures. (3) That no person or selling agency has been employed or retained to secure this contract for a commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee except bona fide employees or bona fide established commercial selling agencies retained by the Contractor for the purpose of securing business. b. The Contractor certifies that no gratuities (entertainment, gifts, money, kickbacks, or other things of value) were nor will be solicited or accepted by the Contractor or Contractor representative, nor from any Subcontractor or Subcontractor representative, for the purpose of obtaining or rewarding favorable treatment in connection with this contract or any subcontract under it. c. The Contractor will report in writing to the Contracting Officer any possible violation of this clause when there are reasonable grounds to believe a violation may have occurred. The Contractor will cooperate fully with any federal agency investigation of a possible violation of this clause. d.

ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS The Contractor cannot assign any right or delegate any obligations under this contract without the prior written permission of the Contracting Officer. 11. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE The Contracting Officer, by written notice, may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, when it is in the best interest of the NAFI. If this contract is for supplies and is so terminated, the Contractor shall be compensated in accordance with FAR, Sub Parts 49.1 and 49.2 in effect on this contract's date. To the extent that this contract is for services and is so terminated, the NAFI shall be liable only for payment in accordance with the payment provisions of this contract for services rendered prior to the effective date of termination, providing there are no Contractor claims covering nonrecurring costs for capital investment. If there are any such Contractor claims, they shall be settled in accordance with FAR, Sub Parts 49.1 and 49.2. 12. CANCELLATION BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT Should the situation warrant, the parties upon mutual agreement and no costs, may cancel this contract without further recourse to the other and mutual release of any further obligations. 13. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE a. The NAFI may, subject to paragraphs c. and d. below, by written notice of cause to the Contractor, terminate this contract in whole or in part if the Contractor fails to- (1) Deliver the supplies or perform the service within the time specified within this contract or any extension; (2) Make progress, so as to endanger performance of this contract (however, see paragraph b. below); or (3) Perform any of the other provisions of this contract (however see paragraph b. below). b. The NAFI's right to terminate this contract under paragraph a. 2. and a. 3. above, may be exercised if the Contractor does not cure such failure within 10 days (or more if authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer) after receipt of notice from the Contracting Officer specifying the failure. c. If the NAFI terminates this contract in whole or in part, it may acquire, under the terms and in the manner the Contracting Officer considers appropriate, supplies or services similar to those terminated, and the Contractor will remain liable to the NAFI for any excess costs for those supplies or services. However the Contractor must continue the work not terminated. d. Defaults by subcontractors at any tier for any reason do not constitute causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. The Contractor shall not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the contract arises from causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such causes include: (1) Acts of God or of the public enemy. (2) Act of the NAFI in either its sovereign or contractual capacity (3) Fires (4) Floods (5) Epidemics (6) Quarantine restrictions (7) Strikes (8) Freight embargoes (9) Unusually severe weather e. If this contract is terminated for cause, the NAFI may require the Contractor to transfer title and deliver to the NAFI as directed by the Contracting Officer, any (1) completed supplies, and (2) partially completed supplies and materials, parts, tool dies, jigs, fixtures, plans, drawings, information, and contract rights (collectively referred to as manufacturing materials in the clause) that the Contractor has specifically produced or acquired for the terminated portion of this contract. Upon direction of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall also protect and preserve property in its possession in which the NAFI has an interest. f. The NAFI shall pay the contract price for completed supplies delivered and accepted. The Contractor and Contracting Officer shall agree on the amount of payment for manufacturing materials delivered and accepted and for the protection and preservation of the property. Failure to agree will be a dispute under the Disputes Clause. The NAFI may withhold from these amounts any sum the Contracting Officer determines to be necessary to protect the NAFI against loss because of outstanding liens or claims of former lien holders. g. If, after termination, it is determined that the cause by the Contractor was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for convenience of the NAFI. h. The rights and remedies of the NAFI in this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this contract. i. This contract is automatically terminated for the convenience of the government in the event the NAFI is dissolved. 14. CHANGES a. The Contracting Officer may at any time, by written order, and without notice to the sureties, if any, make changes within the general scope of this Contract in any one or more of the following: (1) If the requirement is for supplies and/or services: drawings, designs, or specifications; method of shipment or packing; description of services to be performed; time of performance (i.e., hours of the day, days of the week, etc.); place of delivery or place of performance of services. (2) If the requirement is for concession services (including public private ventures): specifications (including drawings and designs); method or manner of performance of work; NAFI-furnished facilities, equipment, materials, services, or site; and/or directing acceleration in the performance of work. (3) If the requirement is for transportation services: specifications; work or services; place of origin; place of delivery; tonnage to be shipped; and/or amount of NAFI-furnished property. b. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work under this Contract, whether or not changed by the order, the Contracting Officer will make an equitable adjustment in the Contract price, the delivery schedule, or both, and modify the Contract. Modified 1 January 2015 c. The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment under this clause within 30 days from the date of receipt of the written order; however, if the Contracting Officer decides that the facts justify it, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon a proposal submitted before final payment of the Contract. d. If the Contractor's proposal includes the cost of property made obsolete or excess by the change, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of the disposition of the property. e. If the requirement is for architect-engineer or other professional services, no services for which an additional cost or fee will be charged by the Contractor shall be furnished without the prior written authorization of the Contracting Officer. f. If the requirement is for concession services (including public private ventures), the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing within seven (7) days of the occurrence of any event that the Contractor considers a change to the Contract that has not been authorized in writing signed by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor will be deemed to have waived any right to an adjustment if timely notice is not provided to the Contracting Officer as required herein. For purposes of this clause, "event" shall include, but not be limited to, an order or direction by a NAFI or other Government official, a contested contract interpretation, interference with or interruption of the contract work, or any other event that increases the cost or time to perform the contract as compared to the cost or time that would be required if the Contractor performed the Contract in accordance with its terms. g.

If the NAFI makes payment but such payment fails to include a prompt payment penalty due to the Contractor within 10 days from when the contract payment is made, penalty amounts will not be paid unless the Contractor makes a written request within forty days after the date of payment. 26. DISCOUNTS FOR PROMPT PAYMENT a. Discounts for prompt payment will not be considered in the evaluation of offers. However, any offered discount will form a part of the award, and will be taken if payment is made within the discount period indicated in the offer by the offeror. As an alternative to offering a prompt payment discount in conjunction with the offer, offerors awarded contracts may include prompt payment discounts on individual invoices. b. In connection with any discount offered for prompt payment, time shall be computed from the date of the invoice. If the Contractor has not placed a date on the invoice, the due date shall be calculated from the date the designated billing office receives a proper invoice, provided the agency annotates such invoice with the date of receipt at the time of receipt. For the purpose of computing the discount earned, payment shall be considered to have been made on the date that appears on the payment check or, for an electronic funds transfer, the specified payment date. When the discount date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday when Federal Government offices are closed and Government business is not expected to be conducted, payment may be made on the following business day. 27. NOTIFICATION OF DEBARMENT/SUSPENSION STATUS The Contractor shall provide immediate notice to the Contracting Officer in the event of being suspended, debarred or declared ineligible by any other Federal Department or agency, or upon receipt of a notice of proposed debarment from another DoD Agency, during the performance of this contract. 28. NON WAIVER OF DEFAULTS - Any failure by the NAFI at any time to enforce or require strict performance of any terms or conditions shall not constitute waiver thereof, and shall not affect or impair such terms or conditions in any way or the NAFI's right at any time to avail itself of such remedies as it may have for any breach or breaches of such terms or conditions. 29. TRAVEL CLAUSE Contractors and/or their duly appointed representative will make their own travel arrangements, purchase their own tickets, and submit requests for reimbursement to the issuing office found in Block 12 of the award. Travel costs will be paid by the contracting NAFI, up to the maximum amount authorized in the federal travel regulations. The Contractor shall submit original receipts of airline tickets, lodging, car rental and other expenses exceeding $75.00. Contractor personnel must acquire airline travel by the most economical methods, to include obtaining coach fares, buy advance purchase tickets (when possible), and plan minimal travel time necessary to accomplish the task. The Contractor is liable for costs associated with unused or changed airline tickets, where non-use is not caused by the NAFI. Documents are required to support payment of travel costs. The Contracting Officer and or their duly appointed representative will approve, in advance, any changes in the itinerary. Contractors must obtain approval before submitting other than lowest airfare travel reimbursement requests from the invoicing office. Local travel for which mileage is claimed; to include travel to and from the airport when air travel is involved must be indicated on the itinerary on form 1351-2 or other approved form. 30. Establishing a Minimum Wage for Contractors a. This Contract is subject to Executive Order 13658, the regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor in 29 CFR part 10 pursuant to the Executive Order, and specifically to all the provisions set forth in Appendix A to 29 CFR Modified 1 January 2015 part 10.
