DHS Vehicles - Tacomas and Highlanders

Amendment / Modification

This amendment modifies solicitation 47QMCA2600054 to update Section B.1. The key change is the clarification that the Government will award the two (2) Saipan CLINs to one contractor and the two (2) Guam CLINs to another contractor. The Government intends to make no more than one award per country/location, resulting in a maximum of two (2) total awards. However, the Government reserves the right to make a single award for all four (4) CLINs if deemed to be in the Government's best interest.

• Section B.1 has been updated.

• All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.

• The POC for this amendment is Ed Hodges (John.Hodges@gsa.gov) and April Stanch (April.Stanch@gsa.gov).

Amendment / Modification

This document is an addendum to FAR Clause 52.212-4, "Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Products and Commercial Services." It provides specific modifications and clarifications to the standard clause, particularly concerning:

• Invoice Payment Due Date: Clarifies that payment is due the later of 10 days after the designated billing office receives a proper invoice or 10 days after Government acceptance of supplies/services.
• Order of Precedence: Establishes a clear hierarchy for resolving inconsistencies within the solicitation or contract, prioritizing the schedule of supplies/services and specific FAR clauses over commercial supplier agreements and other attachments.
• Unauthorized Obligations: States that any language in a commercial supplier agreement requiring the Government to pay future fees, penalties, interest, legal costs, or to indemnify the Contractor, which would violate the Anti-Deficiency Act, is unenforceable against the Government.
• Commercial Supplier Agreements: Incorporates specific language to be deemed part of any commercial supplier agreement, including:
  • Enforceability only against the ordering activity as the end user, not individual Government employees.
  • Governing law being Federal law, with state/foreign law provisions deleted.
  • Deletion of dispute resolution forums or time periods inconsistent with Federal law.
  • Prohibition of unilateral revocation or termination of Government rights by the supplier.
  • Clarification that the U.S. Department of Justice, not the end user, has the sole right to represent the U.S. in indemnification actions.
  • Amendments to audit clauses, specifying that audit costs requested by the contractor are at the contractor's expense and disputed charges follow the Contract Disputes Act process.
  • Clarification on taxes and surcharges, requiring Contracting Officer determination of applicability.
  • Non-assignment clauses requiring Government approval for assignment or delegation.
  • Confidentiality clauses are amended to clarify that neither the agreement nor unit pricing is deemed confidential information, and the Government may retain confidential information as required by law.

This addendum directly modifies and clarifies various paragraphs within FAR Clause 52.212-4, including sections (g)(2), (s), and (u), and introduces new paragraph (w) detailing modifications to commercial supplier agreements.

Bidders should carefully review these modifications as they alter the terms and conditions that will govern the contract, particularly regarding payment, order of precedence, and the enforceability of commercial supplier agreement clauses against the Government.
