Contract No. HHSN266200400034C
ADB Contract No. N01-AI-40034

 

m.                                    Understanding regarding FAR 52.223-6

 

FAR Clause 52.223-6 Drug Free Workplace is included in this contract, however, FAR 23.501(c) provides that the clause does not apply to work that is “(c) Performed outside of the United States and its outlying areas or any part of a contract performed outside the United States and its outlying areas.”

 

n.                                      Understanding regarding FAR 52.222-36

 

FAR 22.1408(a) requires the Contracting Officer to “Insert the clause at 52.222-36, Affirmative Action for Workers with Disabilities, in solicitations and contracts that exceed or are expected to exceed $10,000, except when -

 

“(1) Both performance of the work and the recruitment of workers will occur outside the United States, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Wake Island; or

 

“(2) The agency head has waived, in accordance with 22.1403(a) or 22.1403(b) all the terms of the clause.”

 

It is the mutual understanding of the contracting officer and Avecia that a significant portion of the work, including all self-performed work, under this contract will be performed outside the United States and other named territories by the workers recruited from outside the United States and the named territories.  However, it is also mutually understood that some subcontracted work will be performed in the United States.  Therefore both parties agree that FAR 52.222-36(a), (b), and (c) will not apply to Avecia and that FAR 52.222-36 (d) “Subcontracts” will only apply to subcontracts that will be performed in the United States or by workers recruited from the United States and the named territories; i.e., FAR 52.222-36 would apply in its entirety to any subcontractor that performs work in the United States.  It is also agreed that Avecia will flow-down language similar to that in this paragraph to its subcontracts not performed in the United States; i.e., FAR 52.222-36 would apply in its entirety to any second-tier (or lower) subcontracts performed in the United States.

 

o.                                      Understanding regarding FAR 52.222-37

 

FAR 22.1310(a)(1)(i) provides that FAR 52.222-35, Equal Opportunity for Special Disabled Veterans, Veterans of the Vietnam Era, and Other Eligible Veterans, is required to be in contracts over $25,000, except when “Work is performed outside the United States by employees recruited from outside the United States.  As FAR 52.222-35(d) contains an “Applicability” clause that limits its reach to the listing of employment openings within the United States and named territories, no additional understanding beyond that applicability clause is necessary.

 

FAR 22.1310(b) provides that 52.222-37, Employment Reports on Special Disabled Veterans, Veterans of the Vietnam Era, and Other Eligible Veterans, in solicitations and contracts containing the clause at

 

6



 

Contract No. HHSN2662004000034C

ADB NO. N01-AI-400034

 

FAR 52.222-35, Equal Opportunity for Special Disabled Veterans, Veterans of the Vietnam Era, and Other Eligible Veterans.  Therefore, if “Work is to be performed outside the United States by Employees recruited outside the United States,” FAR 52.222-37 would not be required.

 

It is the mutual understanding of the contracting officer and Avecia that a significant portion of the work, including all self-performed work, under this contract will be performed outside the United States and the other named territories by workers recruited from outside the United States and the named territories.  However, it is also mutually understood that some subcontracted work will be performed in the United States.  Therefore, both parties agree that FAR 52.222-37(a) through (e) will not apply to Avecia and that FAR 52.222-37(f) will only apply to subcontracts that will be performed in the United States or by workers recruited from the United States; i.e., FAR 52.222-37 would apply in its entirety to any subcontractor that performs work in the United States.  It is also agreed that Avecia will flow-down language similar to that in this paragraph to its subcontracts not performed in the United States; i.e., FAR 52.222-37 would apply in its entirety to any second-tier (or lower) subcontracts performed in the United States.

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

 

ARTICLE H.1. REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

 

The primary purpose of the Public Health Service (PHS) is to support and advance independent research within the scientific community.  PHS has established effective, time tested and well recognized procedures for stimulating and supporting this independent research by selecting from multitudes of applications those research projects most worthy of support within the constraints of its appropriations.  The reimbursement through the indirect cost mechanism of independent research and development costs not incidental to product improvement would circumvent this competitive process.

 

To ensure that all research and development projects receive similar and equal consideration, all organizations may compete for direct funding of independent research and development projects they consider worthy of support by submitting those projects to the appropriate Public Health Service grant office for review.  Since these projects may

 

12



 

Contract No. HHSN2662004000034C

ADB NO. N01-AI-400034

 

be submitted for direct funding, the Contractor agrees that no costs for any independent research and development project, including all applicable indirect costs, will be claimed under this contract.

ARTICLE H.16. OBTAINING AND DISSEMINATING BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH RESOURCES

 

Unique research resources arising from NIH-funded research are to be shared with the scientific research community.  NIH provides guidance, entitled, “Sharing Biomedical Research Resources:  Principles and Guidelines for Recipients of NIH Research Grants and Contracts,” (Federal Register Notice, December 23, 1999 [64 FR 72090]), concerning the appropriate terms for disseminating and acquiring these research resources.  This guidance, found at: http://ott.od.nih.gov/NewPages/64FR72090.pdf  is intended to help contractors ensure that the conditions they impose and accept on the transfer of research tools will facilitate further biomedical research, consistent with the requirements of the Bayh-Dole Act and NIH funding policy.

 

16



 

Contract No. HHSN2662004000034C

ADB NO. N01-AI-400034

 

Note:  For the purposes of this Article, the terms, “research tools” “research materials,” and “research resources” are used interchangeably and have the same meaning.

 

ARTICLE H.17. SHARING RESEARCH DATA

 

The contractor’s data sharing plan, dated June 4, 2004 is hereby incorporated by reference.  The contractor agrees to adhere to its plan and shall request prior approval of the Contracting Officer for any changes in its plan.

 

The NIH endorses the sharing of final research data to expedite the translation of research results into knowledge, products, and procedures to improve human health.  This contract is expected to generate research data that must be shared with the public and other researchers.  NIH’s data sharing policy may be found at the following Web site:

 

http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-03-032.html

 

NIH recognizes that data sharing may be complicated or limited, in some cases, by institutional policies, local IRB rules, as well as local, state and Federal laws and regulations, including the Privacy Rule (see HHS-published documentation on the Privacy Rule at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/).  The rights and privacy of people who participate in NIH-funded research must be protected at all times; thus, data intended for broader use should be free of identifiers that would permit linkages to individual research participants and variables that could lead to deductive disclosure of the identity of individual subjects.

 

ARTICLE H.18. POSSESSION USE AND TRANSFER OF SELECT BIOLOGICAL AGENTS OR TOXINS

 

Work involving select biological agents or toxins shall not be conducted under this contract until the contractor and any affected subcontractor(s) are granted a certificate of registration or are authorized to work with the applicable agents.

 

For prime or subcontract awards to domestic institutions who possess, use, and/or transfer Select Agents under this contract, the institution must complete registration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) or the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), as applicable, before using NIH funds for research involving Select Agents.  No NIH funds can be used for research involving Select Agents if the final registration certificate is denied.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:

 

STORAGE:

 

Records may be stored on index cards, file folders, computer tapes and disks (including optical disks), photography media, microfiche, microfilm, and audio and video tapes.  For certain studies, factual data with study code numbers are stored on computer tape or disk, while the key to personal identifiers is stored separately, without factual data, in paper/computer files.

 

RETRIEVABILITY:

 

During data collection stages and follow-up, retrieval is by personal identifier (e.g., name, social security number, medical record or study identification number, etc.).  During the data analysis stage, data are normally retrieved by the variables of interest (e.g., diagnosis, age, occupation).

ADB NO. N01-AI-400034

 

SAFEGUARDS:

 

(1)

Authorized Users: Access to identifiers and to link files is strictly limited to the authorized personnel whose duties require such access. Procedures for determining authorized access to identified data are established as appropriate for each location. Personnel, including contractor personnel, who may be so authorized include those directly involved in data collection and in the design of research studies, e.g., interviewers and interviewer supervisors; project managers; and statisticians involved in designing sampling plans. Other one-time and special access by other employees is granted on a need-to-know basis as specifically authorized by the system manager. Researchers authorized to conduct research on biologic specimens will typically access the system through the use of encrypted identifiers sufficient to link individuals with records in such a manner that does not compromise confidentiality of the individual.

 

 

(2)

Physical Safeguards: Records are either stored in locked rooms during off-duty hours, locked file cabinets, and/or secured computer facilities. For certain studies, personal identifiers and link files are separated and stored in locked files. Computer data access is limited through the use of key words known only to authorized personnel.

 

 

(3)

Procedural Safeguards: Collection and maintenance of data is consistent with legislation and regulations in the protection of human subjects, informed consent, confidentiality, and confidentiality specific to drug and alcohol abuse patients where these apply. When anonymous data is provided to research scientists for analysis, study numbers which can be matched to personal identifiers will be eliminated, scrambled, or replaced by the agency or contractor with random numbers which cannot be matched. Contractors who maintain records in this system are instructed to make no further disclosure of the records. Privacy Act requirements are specifically included in contracts for survey and research activities related to this system. The OHS project directors, contract officers, and project officers oversee compliance with these requirements. Personnel having access are trained in Privacy Act requirements. Depending upon the sensitivity of the information in the record, additional safeguard measures may be employed.

 

 

(4)

Implementation Guidelines: These practices are in compliance with the standards of Chapter 45-13 of the HHS General Administration Manual, “Safeguarding Records Contained in Systems of Records,” supplementary Chapter PHS hf: 45-13, and the HHS Automated Information Systems Security Program Handbook.

 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

 

Records are retained and disposed of under the authority of the NIH Records Control Schedule contained in NIH Manual Chapter 1743, Appendix 1B “Keeping and Destroying Records” (HHS Records Management Manual, Appendix B-361), item 3000-G-3, which allows records to be kept as long as they are useful in scientific research.  Collaborative Perinatal Project records are retained in accordance with item 3000-G-4, which does not allow records to be destroyed.  Refer to the NIH Manual Chapter for specific conditions on disposal or retention instructions.

 

SYSTEM MANAGER(S) AND ADDRESS(ES):

 

See Appendix I for a listing of current System Managers.  This system is for use by all NIH Institutes and Centers.

 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:

 

To determine if a record exists, write to the appropriate IC Privacy Act Coordinator listed below.  In cases where the requester knows specifically which System Manager to contact, he or she may contact the System Manager directly (See Appendix I).  Notification requests should include:  individual’s name; current address; date of birth; date, place and nature of participation in specific research study; name of individual or organization administering the research study (if known); name or description of the research study (if known); address at the time of participation; and in specific cases, a notarized statement (some highly sensitive systems require two witnesses attesting to the

individual’s identity).  A requester must verify his or her identity by providing either a notarization of the request or by submitting a written certification that the is who he or she claims to be and understands that the knowing and willful request for acquisition of a record pertaining to an individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense under the Act, subject to a five thousand dollar fine.

 

Individuals will be granted direct access to their medical records unless the System Manager determines that such access is likely to have an adverse effect (i.e., could cause harm) on the individual.  In such cases when the System Manager has determined that the nature of the record information requires medical interpretation, the subject of the record shall be requested to designate, in writing, a responsible representative who will be wilting to review the record and inform the subject individual of its contents at the representative’s discretion.  The representative may be a physician, other health professional, or other responsible individual.  In this case, the medical/dental record will be sent to the designated representative.  Individuals will be informed in writing if the record is sent to the representative.  This same procedure will apply in cases where a parent or guardian requests notification of, or access to, a child’s or incompetent person’s medical record.  The parent or guardian must also verify (provide adequate documentation) their relationship to the child or incompetent person as well as his or her own identity to prove their relationship.

 

If the requester does not know which Institute or Center Privacy Act Coordinator to contact for notification purposes, he or she may contact directly the NIH Privacy Act Officer at the following address:  NIH Privacy Act Officer, Office of Management Assessment, 6011 Executive Blvd., Room 601L, Rockville, MD 20852.

(a)                                  To help ensure the protection of the life and health of all persons, and to help prevent damage to property, the Contractor shall comply with all Federal, State and local laws and regulations applicable to the work being performed under this contract.  These laws are implemented and/or enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration and other agencies at the Federal, State and local levels (Federal, State and local regulatory/enforcement agencies).

 

(b)                                 Further, the Contractor shall take or cause to be taken additional safety measures as the Contracting Officer in conjunction with the project or other appropriate officer, determines to be reasonably necessary. If compliance with these additional safety measures results in an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for performance of any part of work under this contract, an equitable adjustment will be made in accordance with the applicable “Changes” Clause set forth in this contract.

 

(c)                                  The Contractor shall maintain an accurate record of, and promptly report to the Contracting Officer, all accidents or incidents resulting in the exposure of persons to toxic substances, hazardous materials or hazardous operations; the injury or death of any person; and/or damage to property incidental to work performed under the contract and all violations for which the Contractor has been cited by any Federal, State or local regulatory/enforcement agency.  The report shall include a copy of the notice of violation and the findings of any inquiry or inspection, and an analysis addressing the impact these violations may have on the work remaining to be performed.  The report shall also state the required action(s), if any, to be taken to correct any violation(s) noted by the Federal, State or local regulatory/enforcement agency and the time frame allowed by the agency to accomplish the necessary corrective action.

 

(d)                                 If the Contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly with the Federal, State or local regulatory/enforcement agency’s directive(s) regarding any violation(s) and prescribed corrective action(s), the Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action (as approved by the Federal, State or local regulatory/enforcement agencies) has been taken and documented to the Contracting Officer.  No part of the time lost due to any stop work order shall be subject to a claim for extension of time or costs or damages by the Contractor.

 

(e)                                  The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause in each subcontract involving toxic substances, hazardous materials, or operations.  Compliance with the provisions of this clause by subcontractors will be the responsibility of the Contractor.
