The above maximum rates are applicable to the prime contractor. If subcontracting is proposed, the prime contractor
is strongly encouraged to restrict subcontractor fixed fee to the lower of (a) the prime contractor’s fee under this order
or (b) the subcontractor’s SeaPort-e fixed fee rate where the subcontractor is also a prime contractor under SeaPort-e.
The purpose of this is the Government’s desire to avoid having it be more financially lucrative for a firm to be a
subcontractor rather than a prime contractor under SeaPort-e. The Government strongly encourages the prime
contractor to also implement this under Time and Materials subcontracts. Subcontractors may not earn fee on
ODC’s.
The Government also strongly encourages the prime contractor to eliminate “double pass-thru” costs by (1)
avoiding second tier subcontractors/consultants during performance and (2) where this situation is unavoidable,
limiting subcontractor pass-thru costs to the lower of (i) the prime contractor’s pass-thru rate under this order or (ii)
the subcontractor’s SeaPort-e pass-thru rate where the subcontractor is also a prime contractor under SeaPort-e.
4) CONSENT TO SUBCONTRACT
For subcontracts and consulting agreements for services, where the prime contractor anticipates that hours delivered
will be counted against the hours in the proposed Level of Effort, Consent to Subcontract authority is retained by the
Procuring Contracting Officer.
The following subcontractors are approved on this TO: Avian, LLC.; Deloitte Consulting LLP; General Dynamics
Information Technology (GDIT); Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC).
5) EARLY DISMISSAL AND CLOSURE OF GOVERNMENT FACILITIES
When a Government facility is closed and/or early dismissal of Federal employees is directed due to severe weather,
a security threat, or a facility-related problem that prevents personnel from working, on-site Contractor personnel
regularly assigned to work at that facility should follow the same reporting and/or departure directions given to
Government personnel. The Contractor shall not direct charge to the contract for time off, but shall follow parent
company policies regarding taking leave (administrative or other). Non-essential Contractor personnel, who are not
required to remain at or report to the facility, shall follow their parent company policy regarding whether they should
go/stay home or report to another company facility. Subsequent to an early dismissal and during periods of
inclement weather, on-site Contractors should monitor radio and television announcements before departing for work
to determine if the facility is closed or operating on a delayed arrival basis.
When Federal employees are excused from work due to a holiday or a special event (that is unrelated to severe
weather, a security threat, or a facility-related problem), on-site Contractors will continue working established work
hours or take leave in accordance with parent company policy. Those Contractors who take leave shall not direct
charge the non-working hours to the Task Order.
Contractors are responsible for predetermining and disclosing their charging practices for early dismissal, delayed
openings, or closings in accordance with the FAR, applicable cost accounting standards, and company policy.
Contractors shall follow their disclosed charging practices during the Task Order period of performance, and shall
not follow any verbal directions to the contrary. The Contracting Officer will make the determination of cost
allowability for time lost due to facility closure in accordance with FAR, applicable Cost Accounting Standards, and
the Contractor’s established accounting policy.
