INFORMATION FOR ORDERING ACTIVITIES
APPLICABLE TO ALL SPECIAL ITEM NUMBERS
SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES: Small Business Participation
SBA strongly supports the participation of small
business concerns in the Federal Supply Schedules Program. 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 micropurchase 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.fss.gsa.gov). The catalogs/pricelists,
GSA Advantage! and the Federal Supply Service
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 micropurchase threshold,
customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more
items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

12. USE OF FEDERAL SUPPLY SERVICE INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY SCHEDULE CONTRACTS. In accordance with FAR 8.404:
[NOTE: Special ordering procedures have been
established for Special Item Number (SIN) 132-51 IT Professional Services;
refer to the terms and conditions for that SIN.]
Orders placed pursuant to a Multiple Award Schedule
(MAS), using the procedures in FAR 8.404, are considered to be issued pursuant
to full and open competition. Therefore,
when placing orders under Federal Supply Schedules, ordering activities need
not seek further competition, synopsize the requirement, make a separate determination
of fair and reasonable pricing, or consider small business set-asides in
accordance with subpart 19.5. GSA has
already determined the prices of items under schedule contracts to be fair and
reasonable. By placing an order against
a schedule using the procedures outlined below, the ordering activity has
concluded that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest
overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative
costs, etc.) to meet the ordering activity s needs.
a. Orders
placed at or below the micro-purchase threshold. Ordering activities can place orders at or
below the micro-purchase threshold with any Federal Supply Schedule
Contractor.
b. Orders
exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the maximum order
threshold. Orders should be placed with
the Schedule Contractor that can provide the supply or service that represents
the best value. Before placing an order,
ordering activities should consider reasonably available information about the
supply or service offered under MAS contracts by using the GSA Advantage!
on-line shopping service, or by reviewing the catalogs/pricelists of at least
three Schedule Contractors and selecting the delivery and other options
available under the schedule that meets the ordering activity s needs. In selecting the supply or service
representing the best value, the ordering activity may consider--
(1) Special
features of the supply or service that are required in effective program
performance and that are not provided by a comparable supply or service;
(2) Trade-in
considerations;
(3) Probable
life of the item selected as compared with that of a comparable item;
(4) Warranty
considerations;
(5) Maintenance
availability;
(6) Past
performance; and
(7) Environmental
and energy efficiency considerations.
c. Orders
exceeding the maximum order threshold.
Each schedule contract has an established maximum order threshold. This threshold represents the point where it
is advantageous for the ordering activity to seek a price reduction. In addition to following the procedures in
paragraph b, above, and before placing an order that exceeds the maximum order
threshold, ordering activities shall--
Review additional Schedule Contractors
(1) catalogs/pricelists
or use the GSA Advantage! on-line shopping service;
(2) Based
upon the initial evaluation, generally seek price reductions from the Schedule
Contractor(s) appearing to provide the best value (considering price and other
factors); and
(3) After
price reductions have been sought, place the order with the Schedule Contractor
that provides the best value and results in the lowest overall cost
alternative. If further price reductions
are not offered, an order may still be placed, if the ordering activity
determines that it is appropriate.
NOTE: For
orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, the Contractor may:
(1) Offer a new
lower price for this requirement (the Price Reductions clause is not applicable
to orders placed over the maximum order in FAR 52.216-19 Order Limitations);
(2) Offer the
lowest price available under the contract; or
(3) Decline the
order (orders must be returned in accordance with FAR 52.216-19).
d. Blanket
purchase agreements (BPAs). The
establishment of Federal Supply Schedule BPAs is permitted when following the
ordering procedures in FAR 8.404. All
schedule contracts contain BPA provisions.
Ordering activities may use BPAs to establish accounts with Contractors
to fill recurring requirements. BPAs
should address the frequency of ordering and invoicing, discounts, and delivery
locations and times.
e. Price
reductions. In addition to the
circumstances outlined in paragraph c, above, there may be instances when
ordering activities will find it advantageous to request a price
reduction. For example, when the
ordering activity finds a schedule supply or service elsewhere at a lower price
or when a BPA is being established to fill recurring requirements, requesting a
price reduction could be advantageous. The potential volume of orders under these
agreements, regardless of the size of the individual order, may offer the
ordering activity the opportunity to secure greater discounts. Schedule Contractors are not required to pass
on to all schedule users a price reduction extended only to an individual
ordering activity for a specific order.
f. Small
business. For orders exceeding the
micro-purchase threshold, ordering activities should give preference to the
items of small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered
price will satisfy the requirement.
g. Documentation. Orders should be documented, at a minimum, by
identifying the Contractor the item was purchased from, the item purchased, and
the amount paid. If an ordering activity
requirement, in excess of the micro-purchase threshold, is defined so as to
require a particular brand name, product, or feature of a product peculiar to
one manufacturer, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by
another company, the ordering activity shall include an explanation in the file
as to why the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to
satisfy the ordering activity s needs.
13. FEDERAL INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY/TELECOMMUNICATION STANDARDS REQUIREMENTS: Ordering
activities acquiring products from this Schedule must comply with the
provisions of the Federal Standards Program, as appropriate (reference: NIST Federal Standards Index). Inquiries to determine whether or not
specific products listed herein comply with Federal Information Processing
Standards (FIPS) or Federal Telecommunication Standards (FED-STDS), which are
cited by ordering activities, shall be responded to promptly by the Contractor.
13.1 FEDERAL INFORMATION PROCESSING STANDARDS
PUBLICATIONS (FIPS PUBS): Information

17. PURCHASE OF OPEN MARKET ITEMS:
NOTE: Open
Market Items are also known as incidental items, noncontract items,
non-Schedule items, and items not on a Federal Supply Schedule contract. ODCs (Other
Direct Costs) are not part of this contract and should be treated at open
market purchases. Ordering Activities
procuring open market items must follow FAR 8.401(d).
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));

REPRESENTATIONS:
a. For
the purpose of this contract, commitments, warranties and representations
include, in addition to those agreed to for the entire schedule contract:
(1) Time
of delivery/installation quotations for individual orders;
(2) Technical
representations and/or warranties of products concerning performance, total
system performance and/or configuration, physical, design and/or functional
characteristics and capabilities of a product/equipment/ service/software
package submitted in response to requirements which result in orders under this
schedule contract.
(3) Any
representations and/or warranties concerning the products made in any
literature, description, drawings and/or specifications furnished by the
Contractor.
b. The

Schedule contract.
19. OVERSEAS ACTIVITIES: The
terms and conditions of this contract shall apply to all orders for
installation, maintenance and repair of equipment in areas listed in the
pricelist outside the 48 contiguous states and the
Overseas activities are outside the scope of this
contract.
Upon request of Beyond 20/20, the ordering activity
may provide Beyond 20/20 with 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 Beyond 20/20's
technical personnel whose services are exclusively required for the fulfillment
of the terms and conditions of this contract.
20. BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS (BPAs): Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.303-1(a) defines Blanket Purchase Agreements
(BPAs) as a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for
supplies or services by establishing charge accounts with qualified sources
of supply. The use of Blanket Purchase
Agreements under the Federal Supply Schedule Program is authorized in
accordance with FAR 13.303-2(c)(3), which reads, in part, as follows:
BPAs may be established with Federal Supply Schedule
Contractors, if not inconsistent with the terms of the applicable schedule
contract.
Federal Supply Schedule contracts contain BPA
provisions to enable schedule users to maximize their administrative and
purchasing savings. This feature permits
schedule users to set up accounts with Schedule Contractors to fill recurring
requirements. These accounts establish a
period for the BPA and generally address issues such as the frequency of
ordering and invoicing, authorized callers, discounts, delivery locations and
times. Agencies may qualify for the best
quantity/volume discounts available under the contract, based on the potential
volume of business that may be generated through such an agreement, regardless
of the size of the individual orders. In
addition, agencies may be able to secure a discount higher than that available
in the contract based on the aggregate volume of business possible under a BPA.
Finally, Contractors may be open to a progressive type
of discounting where the discount would increase once the sales accumulated
under the BPA reach certain prescribed levels.
Use of a BPA may be particularly useful with the new Maximum Order
feature. See the Suggested Format,
contained in this Schedule Pricelist, for customers to consider when using this
purchasing tool.
21. CONTRACTOR
TEAM ARRANGEMENTS: Contractors participating in contractor team
arrangements must abide by all terms and conditions of their respective
contracts. This includes compliance with
Clauses 552.238-74, 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.
22.
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 received 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 requirements 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 132-8.
23. SECTION 508 COMPLIANCE: If applicable, Section 508 compliance information on
the supplies and services in this contract are available in Electronic and
Information Technology (EIT) at the following:
www.Beyond2020.com. The
EIT standard can be found at: www.Section508.gov/.
24. PRIME CONTRACTOR ORDERING FROM FEDERAL SUPPLY SCHEDULES:
Prime Contractors (on cost
reimbursement contracts) placing orders under Federal Supply Schedules, on
behalf of an ordering activity, shall follow the terms of the applicable
schedule and authorization and include with each order
(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.
25. INSURANCE WORK

maintain a copy of all subcontractors' proofs of required insurance, and shall
make copies available to the Contracting Officer upon request.
1. INSPECTION/ACCEPTANCE: Beyond 20/20
shall only tender for acceptance those items that conform to the requirements
of this contract. The ordering activity
reserves the right to inspect or test any software that has been tendered for
acceptance. The ordering activity may
require repair or replacement of nonconforming software at no increase in
contract price. The ordering activity must
exercise its postacceptance rights (1) within a reasonable time after the defect
was discovered or should have been discovered; and (2) before any substantial
change occurs in the condition of the software, unless the change is due to the
defect in the software.
2. GUARANTEE/WARRANTY:
a. Unless
specified otherwise in this contract, Beyond 20/20 s standard commercial
guarantee/warranty as stated in the contract s commercial pricelist will apply
to this contract.

The Software Maintenance
program allows the organization to receive all updates, upgrades, bug fixes and
new versions of the software that are released during the time period of the
contract. The Software Maintenance program may be renewed on a yearly basis.
Software can be shipped to the customer (shipping and handling are the
responsibility of the customer), or accessed through Beyond 20/20's FTP site.
As an added bonus, organizations purchasing Software Maintenance will also
receive a complimentary 3-credit support pack.
Contact Beyond 20/20 for pricing details on the Software
Maintenance program.
This program allows the
pre-purchase of per incident technical support credits. These credits allow
one contact person within the organization to call Beyond 20/20 and make
technical inquiries regarding the products. Beyond 20/20 will apply one credit
to each support inquiry. Telephone toll charges are the responsibility of the ordering
activity.
There are
two Support Packs available:
3
technical support credits
6
technical support credits
Beyond 20/20 will track the
number of credits purchased and the number of credits used. Additional credit
packs can be purchased at any time using VISA or MASTERCARD. One inquiry per
credit would be allowed.
Support
credits expire one year after their original date of purchase. If the technical support call results from a
bug in the program that Beyond 20/20 can verify and confirm, no credit would be
used.
This method provides users of
Beyond 20/20 with an option for support services above and beyond the warrantee
support service.
This
method offers several benefits:
access
to support services when required for a reduced initial cost
allows
the organization to budget the cost of support
provides
the opportunity to put additional credit purchase requests through the
necessary channels in the organization before the services are required
This plan is ideal for

6. UTILIZATION LIMITATIONS ‑ (132‑33
AND 132‑34)
a. Software
acquisition is limited to commercial computer software defined in FAR Part
2.101.
b. When
acquired by the ordering activity, commercial computer software and related
documentation so legend shall be subject to the following:
(1) Title
to and ownership of the software and documentation shall remain with the
Contractor, unless otherwise specified.
(2) Software
licenses are by site and by ordering activity.
An ordering activity is defined as a cabinet level or independent
ordering activity. The software may be
used by any subdivision of the ordering activity (service, bureau, division,
command, etc.) that has access to the site the software is placed at, even if
the subdivision did not participate in the acquisition of the software. Further, the software may be used on a
sharing basis where multiple agencies have joint projects that can be satisfied
by the use of the software placed at one ordering activity's site. This would allow other agencies access to one
ordering activity's database. For
ordering activity public domain databases, user agencies and third parties may
use the computer program to enter, retrieve, analyze and present data. The user ordering activity will take
appropriate action by instruction, agreement, or otherwise, to protect Beyond
20/20's proprietary property with any third parties that are permitted access
to the computer programs and documentation in connection with the user ordering
activity's permitted use of the computer programs and documentation. For purposes of this section, all such
permitted third parties shall be deemed agents of the user ordering activity.
(3) Except
as is provided in paragraph 6.b(2) above, the ordering activity shall not
provide or otherwise make available the software or documentation, or any
portion thereof, in any form, to any third party without the prior written
approval of Beyond 20/20. Third parties
do not include prime Contractors, subcontractors and agents of the ordering
activity who have the ordering activity's permission to use the licensed
software and documentation at the facility, and who have agreed to use the
licensed software and documentation only in accordance with these
restrictions. This provision does not
limit the right of the ordering activity to use software, documentation, or
information therein, which the ordering activity may already have or obtains
without restrictions.
(4) The
ordering activity shall have the right to use the computer software and
documentation with the computer for which it is acquired at any other facility
to which that computer may be transferred, or in cases of disaster recovery,
the ordering activity has the right to transfer the software to another site if
the ordering activity site for which it is acquired is deemed to be unsafe for
ordering activity personnel; to use the computer software and documentation
with a backup computer when the primary computer is inoperative; to copy
computer programs for safekeeping (archives) or backup purposes; to transfer a
copy of the software to another site for purposes of benchmarking new hardware
and/or software; and to modify the software and documentation or combine it
with other software, provided that the unmodified portions shall remain subject
to these restrictions.
(5) "Commercial Computer Software"
may be marked with the Contractor's
standard commercial restricted rights legend, but the schedule contract and
schedule pricelist, including this clause, "Utilization Limitations"
are the only governing terms and conditions,
and shall take precedence and supersede any different or additional
terms and conditions included in the standard commercial legend.
7. SOFTWARE CONVERSIONS ‑ (132‑33): Full
monetary credit will be allowed to the ordering activity when conversion from
one version of the software to another is made as the result of a change in
operating system, or from one computer system to another. Under a perpetual license (132‑33), the
purchase price of the new software shall be reduced by the amount that was paid
to purchase the earlier version.

likely to motivate Beyond 20/20.
Incentives shall be based on objectively measurable tasks.
3. ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR SERVICES
(REQUIRING A STATEMENT OF WORK) (G-FCI-920) (MAR 2003):
FAR 8.402 contemplates that GSA may occasionally find
it necessary to establish special ordering procedures for individual Federal
Supply Schedules or for some Special Item Numbers (SINs) within a
Schedule. GSA has established special
ordering procedures for services that require a Statement of Work. These special ordering procedures take
precedence over the procedures in FAR 8.404 (b)(2) through (b)(3).
When ordering services over $100,000, Department of
Defense (DOD) ordering offices and non-DOD agencies placing orders on behalf of
the DOD must follow the policies and procedures in the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 208.404-70 Additional ordering
procedures for services. When DFARS
208.404-70 is applicable and there is a conflict between the ordering
procedures contained in this clause and the additional ordering procedures for
services in DFARS 208.404-70, the DFARS procedures take precedence.
GSA has determined that the prices for services
contained in the contractor s price list applicable to this Schedule are fair
and reasonable. However, the ordering
activity using this contract is responsible for considering the level of effort
and mix of labor proposed to perform a specific task being ordered and for
making a determination that the total firm-fixed price or ceiling price is fair
and reasonable.
a. When
ordering services, ordering activities shall
(1) Prepare
a Request (Request for Quote or other communication tool):
(i) A
statement of work (a performance-based statement of work is preferred) that
outlines, at a minimum, the work to be performed, location of work, period of
performance, deliverable schedule, applicable standards, acceptance criteria,
and any special requirements (i.e., security clearances, travel, special knowledge,
etc.) should be prepared.
(ii) The
request should include the statement of work and request the contractors to
submit either a firm-fixed price or a ceiling price to provide the services
outlined in the statement of work. A
firm-fixed price order shall be requested, unless the ordering activity makes a
determination that it is not possible at the time of placing the order to
estimate accurately the extent or duration of the work or to anticipate cost
with any reasonable degree of confidence.
When such a determination is made, a labor hour or time-and-materials
proposal may be requested. The firm-fixed price shall be based on the rates in
the schedule contract and shall consider the mix of labor categories and level
of effort required to perform the services described in the statement of work.
The firm-fixed price of the order should also include any travel costs or other
incidental costs related to performance of the services ordered, unless the
order provides for reimbursement of travel costs at the rates provided in the
Federal Travel or Joint Travel Regulations.
A ceiling price must be established for labor-hour and
time-and-materials orders.
(iii) The
request may ask the contractors, if necessary or appropriate, to submit a
project plan for performing the task, and information on the contractor s
experience and/or past performance performing similar tasks.
(iv) The
request shall notify the contractors what basis will be used for selecting the
contractor to receive the order. The notice shall include the basis for
determining whether the contractors are technically qualified and provide an
explanation regarding the intended use of any experience and/or past
performance information in determining technical qualification of responses. If consideration will be limited to schedule
contractors who are small business concerns as permitted by paragraph (2)
below, the request shall notify the contractors that will be the case.
(2) Transmit
the Request to Contractors:
Based upon an initial evaluation of catalogs and price
lists, the ordering activity should identify the contractors that appear to
offer the best value (considering the scope of services offered, pricing and
other factors such as contractors locations, as appropriate) and transmit the
request as follows:
NOTE: When
buying IT professional services under
SIN 132 51 ONLY, the ordering office, at its discretion, may
limit consideration to those schedule contractors that are small business
concerns. This limitation is not
applicable when buying supplies and/or services under other SINs as well as SIN
132-51. The limitation may only be used
when at least three (3) small businesses that appear to offer services that
will meet the agency s needs are available, if the order is estimated to exceed
the micro-purchase threshold.
(i) The
request should be provided to at least three (3) contractors if the proposed
order is estimated to exceed the micro-purchase threshold, but not exceed the
maximum order threshold.
(ii) For
proposed orders exceeding the maximum order threshold, the request should be
provided to additional contractors that offer services that will meet the
ordering activity s needs.
(iii) In
addition, the request shall be provided to any contractor who specifically
requests a copy of the request for the proposed order.
(iv) Ordering
activities should strive to minimize the contractors costs associated with
responding to requests for quotes for specific orders. Requests should be
tailored to the minimum level necessary for adequate evaluation and selection
for order placement. Oral presentations should be considered, when possible.
(3) Evaluate
Responses and Select the Contractor to Receive the Order:
After responses have been evaluated against the
factors identified in the request, the order should be placed with the schedule
contractor that represents the best value.
(See FAR 8.404)
b. The
establishment of Federal Supply Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for
recurring services is permitted when the procedures outlined herein are
followed. All BPAs for services must define the services that may be ordered
under the BPA, along with delivery or performance time frames, billing
procedures, etc. The potential volume of orders under BPAs, regardless of the
size of individual orders, may offer the ordering activity the opportunity to
secure volume discounts. When establishing BPAs, ordering activities shall
(1) Inform
contractors in the request (based on the ordering activity s requirement) if a
single BPA or multiple BPAs will be established, and indicate the basis that
will be used for selecting the contractors to be awarded the BPAs.
(i) SINGLE
BPA: Generally, a single BPA should be established when the ordering activity
can define the tasks to be ordered under the BPA and establish a firm-fixed
price or ceiling price for individual tasks or services to be ordered. When this occurs, authorized users may place
the order directly under the established BPA when the need for service arises.
The schedule contractor that represents the best value should be awarded the
BPA. (See FAR 8.404)
(ii) MULTIPLE
BPAs: When the ordering activity determines multiple BPAs are needed to meet
its requirements, the ordering activity should determine which contractors can
meet any technical qualifications before establishing the BPAs. When establishing the BPAs, the procedures in
(a)(2) above must be followed. The
procedures at (a)(2) do not apply to orders issued under multiple BPAs. Authorized users must transmit the request
for quote for an order to all BPA holders and then place the order with the
Schedule contractor that represents the best value.
(2) Review
BPAs Periodically: Such reviews shall be
conducted at least annually. The purpose of the review is to determine whether
the BPA still represents the best value.
(See FAR 8.404)
c. The
ordering activity should give preference to small business concerns when two or
more contractors can provide the services at the same firm-fixed price or
ceiling price.
d. When
the ordering activity s requirement involves both products as well as
executive, administrative and/or professional, services, the ordering activity
should total the prices for the products and the firm-fixed price for the
services and select the contractor that represents the best value. (See FAR 8.404)
e. The
ordering activity, at a minimum, should document orders by identifying the
contractor from which the services were purchased, the services purchased, and
the amount paid. If other than a
firm-fixed price order is placed, such documentation should include the basis
for the determination to use a labor-hour or time-and-materials order. For ordering activity requirements in excess
of the micro-purchase threshold, the order file should document the evaluation
of Schedule contractors quotes that formed the basis for the selection of the
contractor that received the order and the rationale for any trade-offs made in
making the selection.
4. ORDER:
a. Agencies
may use written orders, EDI orders,
blanket purchase agreements, individual purchase orders, or task orders
for ordering services under this contract.
Blanket Purchase Agreements shall not extend beyond the end of the
contract period; all services and delivery shall be made and the contract terms
and conditions shall continue in effect until the completion of the order. Orders for tasks which extend beyond the

Beyond 20/20 to stop all, or any part, of the work called for by this contract
for a period of 90 days after the order is delivered to Beyond 20/20, and for
any further period to which the parties may agree. The order shall be
specifically identified as a stop-work order issued under this clause. Upon
receipt of the order, Beyond 20/20 shall immediately comply with its terms and
take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs allocable to the
work covered by the order during the period of work stoppage. Within a period
of 90 days after a stop-work is delivered to Beyond 20/20, or within any
extension of that period to which the parties shall have agreed, the
Contracting Officer shall either-
(1) Cancel
the stop-work order; or
(2) Terminate
the work covered by the order as provided in the Default, or the Termination
for Convenience of the Government, clause of this contract.
b. If a
stop-work order issued under this clause is canceled or the period of the order
or any extension thereof expires, Beyond 20/20 shall resume work. The
Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the delivery schedule
or contract price, or both, and the contract shall be modified, in writing,
accordingly, if-
(1) The
stop-work order results in an increase in the time required for, or in Beyond
20/20's cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this
contract; and
(2) Beyond
20/20 asserts its right to the adjustment within 30 days after the end of the
period of work stoppage; provided, that, if the Contracting Officer decides the
facts justify the action, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon the
claim submitted at any time before final payment under this contract.
c. If a
stop-work order is not canceled and the work covered by the order is terminated
for the convenience of the Government, the Contracting Officer shall allow
reasonable costs resulting from the stop-work order in arriving at the
termination settlement.
d. If a
stop-work order is not canceled and the work covered by the order is terminated
for default, the Contracting Officer shall allow, by equitable adjustment or
otherwise, reasonable costs resulting from the stop-work order.

11. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:
a. Definitions.
Contractor means the person, firm, unincorporated
association, joint venture, partnership, or corporation that is a party to this
contract.
Contractor and its affiliates and Contractor or its

contract, without some restriction on ordering activities by the Contractor and
its affiliates, may either (i) result in an unfair competitive advantage to the
Contractor or its affiliates or (ii) impair the Contractor s or its affiliates
objectivity in performing contract work.
b. To
avoid an organizational or financial conflict of interest and to avoid
prejudicing the best interests of the ordering activity, ordering activities
