DELIVERY
SCHEDULE
a. TIME OF DELIVERY: EWA IIT shall deliver to destination within the number of calendar days after receipt of order (ARO), as set forth below:
SPECIAL ITEM NUMBER DELIVERY TIME (Days ARO)
As negotiated between IIT and the ordering agency.
Expedited Delivery Times are Negotiated between EWA IIT and the ordering agency.
b. URGENT
REQUIREMENTS: When the Federal Supply
Schedule contract delivery period does not meet the bona fide urgent delivery
requirements of an ordering agency, agencies are encouraged, if time permits,
to contact EWA IIT for the purpose of obtaining accelerated delivery. EWA IIT shall reply to the inquiry within 3
workdays after receipt. (Telephonic
replies shall be confirmed by EWA IIT in writing.) If EWA IIT offers an accelerated delivery
time acceptable to the ordering agency, any order(s) placed pursuant to the
agreed upon accelerated delivery time frame shall be delivered within this
shorter delivery time and in accordance with all other terms and conditions of
the contract.
Security Requirements: In the event security requirements are necessary, the ordering activities may incorporate in their delivery order(s), a security clause in accordance with current laws, regulations, and individual agency policy; however, the burden of administering the security requirements shall be with the ordering agency. If any costs are incurred as a result of the inclusion of security requirements, such costs will not exceed ten percent (10%) or $100,000, of the total dollar value of the order, whichever is less.
Contract Administration
for Ordering Offices: Any ordering office, with respect to any one or more
delivery orders placed by it under this contract, may exercise the same rights
of termination as might the GSA Contracting Officer under provisions of FAR
52.212-4, paragraphs (1) Termination for the Government’s convenience, and (m)
Termination for Cause (See C.1.).
Special Provisions for
Task Orders: Agencies may incorporate provisions in their task orders that
are essential to their requirements (e.g. security clearances, hazardous
substances, special handling, key personnel, etc.). These provisions, when required, will be
included in individual task orders. Any
cost necessary for the contractor to comply with the provision(s) will be
included in the task order proposal, unless otherwise prohibited by law.
Blanket Purchase
Agreements (BPAs): Blanket Purchasing Agreements (BPAs) can reduce costs and
save time because individual purchase orders and invoices are not required for
each procurement but can instead be documented on a consolidated basis. The contractor agrees to enter into BPAs with
ordering activities provided that the period of time covered by such agreements
shall not exceed the period of the contract including option year
period(s). Orders placed under such
agreements shall be issued in accordance with all applicable regulations and
the terms and conditions of the contract.
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 offices 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. 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 office 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 agency
for a specific order.
Purchase of Incidental,
Non-Schedule items: For administrative convenience, open market (non-contract)
items may be added to a Federal Supply Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreement
(BPA) or an individual order, provided that the items are clearly labeled as
such on the order, all applicable regulations have been followed, and the price
reasonableness has been determined by the ordering activity for the open market
(non-contract) items.
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. The Industrial Funding Fee does not apply to
travel and per diem charges.
Industrial Funding
Fee: The
Industrial Funding Fee is included in the labor rates and the products awarded
under this Schedule. The IFF does not
apply to off-schedule items such as travel, materials, and other direct costs.
Economic Price
Adjustment: Will be pursuant to Clause 552.216-70 (Alt 1) (Local
Deviation). Please see approved price
lists contained herein.
Deliveries Beyond the
Contractual Period: In accordance with the Scope of Contract clause, this
contract covers all requirements that may be ordered, as distinguished from
delivered, during the contract term.
This is for the purpose of providing continuity of supply by permitting
ordering activities to place orders as requirements arise in the normal course
of supply operations. Accordingly, any
order mailed (or received, if forwarded by other means than through the mail)
to the Contractor on or before the expiration date of the contract, and
providing for delivery within the number of days specified in the contract,
shall constitute a valid order.
Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order. The contract shall govern the Contractor’s and Government’s rights and obligations with respect to that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the contract’s effective period.
Discounts:
Prices shown are NET Prices; Basic
Discounts have been deducted. EWA
IIT will provide a 1% labor discount for all orders of $500,000 or more
(discount to labor only).
Government Educational Institutions receive the
same discount as all other Government
customers
Quantity discounts: None Offered

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).
