SECTION C — DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS
C.1 STATEMENT OF WORK
Purpose
The purpose of this contract is to support advanced stage development of new antiviral compounds for the treatment and prophylaxis of pandemic and seasonal influenza leading toward submission of a U.S. licensure application and development of required industrial capacity to support implementation of the influenza antivirals at full production capacity at or before the onset of a pandemic. Influenza antivirals shall be produced at one or more Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-licensed manufacturing facilities and shall provide sufficient surge capacity to contribute substantially to U.S. and ideally global antiviral needs during an influenza pandemic.
This advanced development contract is milestone-driven and funding is expected to occur in phases. Periodic assessments of progress will be conducted by DHHS. Continuation of effort on initial and subsequent milestones and associated funding will be based on contractor performance, timeliness and quality of deliverables, availability of other antiviral drugs and products deemed more advantageous to the USG, and consultations between the contractor, HHS, and interagency working group members.

For prime or subcontract awards to foreign institutions that possess, use, and/or transfer Select Agents under this contract, before using DHHS funds for any work directly involving the Select Agents, the foreign institution must provide information satisfactory to the DHHS that safety, security, and training standards equivalent to those described in 42 CFR part 73, 7 CFR part 331, and/or 9 CFR part 121 at: (http://www.aphis.usda.gov/programs/ag_selectagent/FinalRule3-18-05.pdf) are in place and will be administered on behalf of all Select Agent work sponsored by these funds. The process for making this determination includes inspection of the foreign laboratory facility by an HHS representative. During this inspection, the foreign institution must provide the following information: concise summaries of safety, security, and training plans; names of individuals at the foreign institution who will have access to the Select Agents and procedures for ensuring that only approved and appropriate individuals, in accordance with institution procedures, will have access to the Select Agents under the contract; and copies of or links to any applicable laws, regulations, policies, and procedures applicable to that institution for the safe and secure possession, use, and/or transfer of select agents. An DHHS-chaired committee of U.S. federal employees (including representatives of select DHHS grants/contracts and scientific program management, CDC, Department of Justice and other federal intelligence agencies, and Department of State) will ultimately assess the results of the laboratory facility inspection, and the regulations, policies, and procedures of the foreign institution for equivalence to the U.S. requirements described in 42 CFR part 73, 7 CFR part 331, and/or 9 CFR part 121 (http://www.aphis.usda.gov/programs/ag_selectagent/FinalRule3-18-05.pdf). The committee will provide recommendations to the OPHEMC Director, DHHS. The Director (or designee) will make the approval decision and notify the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will inform the prime contractor of the approval status of the foreign institution. No DHHS funds can be used for research involving Select Agents at a foreign institution until DHHS grants this approval.

I.4 Additional Contract Clauses of SECTION I — Added in full text
52.222-39 Notification of Employee Rights Concerning Payment of Union Dues or Fees.
Notification of Employee Rights Concerning Payment of Union Dues or Fees (Dec 2004)
(a) Definition. As used in this clause— “United States” means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Wake Island.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this clause, during the term of this contract, the Contractor shall post a notice, in the form of a poster, informing employees of their rights concerning union membership and payment of union dues and fees, in conspicuous places in and about all its plants and offices, including all places where notices to employees are customarily posted. The notice shall include the following information (except that the information pertaining to National Labor Relations Board shall not be included in notices posted in the plants or offices of carriers subject to the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 151-188)).
Notice to Employees
Under Federal law, employees cannot be required to join a union or maintain membership in a union in order to retain their jobs. Under certain conditions, the law permits a union and an employer to enter into a union-security agreement requiring employees to pay uniform periodic dues and initiation fees. However, employees who are not union members can object to the use of their payments for certain purposes and can only be required to pay their share of union costs relating to collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment.
If you do not want to pay that portion of dues or fees used to support activities not related to collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance adjustment, you are entitled to an appropriate reduction in your payment. If you believe that you have been required to pay dues or fees used in part to support activities not related to collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance adjustment, you may be entitled to a refund and to an appropriate reduction in future payments.
For further information concerning your rights, you may wish to contact the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) either at one of its Regional offices or at the following address or toll free number:
National Labor Relations Board
Division of Information
1099 14th Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20570
1-866-667-6572
1-866-316-6572 (TTY)
To locate the nearest NLRB office, see NLRB’s website at http://www.nlrb.gov.
(c) The Contractor shall comply with all provisions of Executive Order 13201 of February 17, 2001, and related implementing regulations at 29 CFR Part 470, and orders of the Secretary of Labor.
(d) In the event that the Contractor does not comply with any of the requirements set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), or (g), the Secretary may direct that this contract be cancelled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part, and declare the Contractor ineligible for further Government contracts in accordance with procedures at 29 CFR Part 470, Subpart B—Compliance Evaluations, Complaint Investigations and Enforcement Procedures. Such other sanctions or remedies may be imposed as are provided by 29 CFR Part 470, which implements Executive Order 13201, or as are otherwise provided by law.
(e) The requirement to post the employee notice in paragraph (b) does not apply to—
(1) Contractors and subcontractors that employ fewer than 15 persons;
(2) Contractor establishments or construction work sites where no union has been formally recognized by the Contractor or certified as the exclusive bargaining representative of the Contractor’s employees;
(3) Contractor establishments or construction work sites located in a jurisdiction named in the definition of the United States in which the law of that jurisdiction forbids enforcement of union-security agreements;
(4) Contractor facilities where upon the written request of the Contractor, the Department of Labor Deputy Assistant Secretary for Labor-Management Programs has waived the posting requirements with respect to any of the Contractor’s facilities if the Deputy Assistant Secretary finds that the Contractor has demonstrated that—
(i) The facility is in all respects separate and distinct from activities of the Contractor related to the performance of a contract; and
(ii) Such a waiver will not interfere with or impede the effectuation of the Executive order; or
(5) Work outside the United States that does not involve the recruitment or employment of workers within the United States.

 

Page 23 of 27


 

(f) The Department of Labor publishes the official employee notice in two variations; one for contractors covered by the Railway Labor Act and a second for all other contractors. The Contractor shall—
(1) Obtain the required employee notice poster from the Division of Interpretations and Standards, Office of Labor-Management Standards, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room N-5605, Washington, DC 20210, or from any field office of the Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs;
(2) Download a copy of the poster from the Office of Labor-Management Standards website at http://www.olms.dol.gov; or
(3) Reproduce and use exact duplicate copies of the Department of Labor’s official poster.
(g) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause in every subcontract or purchase order that exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold, entered into in connection with this contract, unless exempted by the Department of Labor Deputy Assistant Secretary for Labor-Management Programs on account of special circumstances in the national interest under authority of 29 CFR 470.3(c). For indefinite quantity subcontracts, the Contractor shall include the substance of this clause if the value of orders in any calendar year of the subcontract is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. Pursuant to 29 CFR Part 470, Subpart B—Compliance Evaluations, Complaint Investigations and Enforcement Procedures, the Secretary of Labor may direct the Contractor to take such action in the enforcement of these regulations, including the imposition of sanctions for noncompliance with respect to any such subcontract or purchase order. If the Contractor becomes involved in litigation with a subcontractor or vendor, or is threatened with such involvement, as a result of such direction, the Contractor may request the United States, through the Secretary of Labor, to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
52.227-14, Rights in Data Alternate II (June 1987)
(g)(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (g)(1) of this clause, the contract may identify and specify the delivery of limited rights data, or the Contracting Officer may require by written request the delivery of limited rights data that has been withheld or would otherwise be withholdable. If delivery of such data is so required, the Contractor may affix the following “Limited Rights Notice” to the data and the Government will thereafter treat the data, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (e) and (f) of this clause, in accordance with such Notice:

(i) Use (except for manufacture) by support service contractors.
  (b)  
This Notice shall be marked on any reproduction of these data, in whole or in part.
