5 Key Considerations for Subcontract Flowdowns Micah Zomer
6 Agenda FAR Basics Definition of Subcontract Flowdowns Prime and Subcontractor Perspectives Mandatory Flowdowns Non-Mandatory Flowdowns Commercial Item Flowdowns Approaches to Drafting Flowdowns Identifying Applicable Version Defining Terms/Parties 6
7 FAR Basics Formation and administration of U.S. Government prime contracts is subject to and governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and 20+ agency FAR supplements e.g., Department of Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS), Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR), etc. FAR codified at Title 48, Chapter 1 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR); agency supplemental regulations are codified at subsequent chapters (e.g., DFARS codified at Title 48, Chapter 2) FAR and supplemental regulations can be accessed through various websites: 7
8 FAR Basics 8
9 FAR Basics FAR Subpart 52.2 (and DFARS Subpart 252.2) contains the text of the clauses that are included in government solicitations and contracts Prescription before each clause cites to the enabling provision, which dictates when the clause should be included in a solicitation or contract Application of clause depends on a number of factors, including: Contract type (e.g., fixed-price, cost reimbursement, commercial item, etc.) Type of work to be performed (e.g., sale of goods, provision of services, construction, architect-engineer, etc.) Total anticipated contract value (inclusive of all options) 9
10 FAR Basics Anti-Kickback Procedures. As prescribed in , insert the following clause: ANTI-KICKBACK PROCEDURES (MAY 2014) Contract clause. The contracting officer shall insert the clause at , Anti-Kickback Procedures, in solicitations and contracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, other than those for commercial items (see Part 12). 10
11 Definition of Subcontract Flowdowns Subcontract flowdowns are the FAR 52.2 clauses that a prime contractor must or should flow down to its subcontractors Some flowdowns, as with standard terms and conditions, are a method of allocating risks between the parties Other flowdowns are required for a higher-tiered contractor (Prime) to comply with its prime contract / subcontract 11
12 Prime s Perspective There are some clauses in the prime contract that must be floweddown, or the Prime will be in breach But, not all provisions must be or even can be flowed-down EFT Payment Provisions through the System for Award Management (SAM) Disputes Clause Since the subcontract is likely only for a subset of the Prime s requirements, some provisions are likely not applicable There are other clauses which, while not mandatory, should be modified and flowed-down in order to protect the Prime s interests (e.g., Termination Clauses, Stop-Work Order, Changes) 12
13 Subcontractor s Perspective Subcontractor needs to accept the clauses the Prime must include to cover its legitimate risk (e.g., termination, warranty, etc.) Subcontractor needs to be able to identify the clauses that are not mandatory flowdowns, that do not cover a Prime s legitimate risk, or that cause a burden on the subcontractor Challenge for the subcontractor is to convince the Prime that these superfluous clauses add unnecessary costs, are overly burdensome to the subcontractor, or are just unfair Subcontractor needs to consider whether, once accepted, it will be able to flow down clauses to its own lower-tier subcontractors 13
14 Mandatory Flowdown Clauses Mandatory flowdown clauses are those that a Prime is required to include in subcontracts, as required by the clause Inclusion of these clauses is non-negotiable The flow down of mandatory clauses is often conditional based on: Contract type Type of work to be performed Total anticipated subcontract value (including all options) 14
15 Mandatory Flowdown Clauses Restrictions on Certain Foreign Purchases (c) The Contractor shall insert this clause, including this paragraph (c), in all subcontracts Service Contract Labor Standards (l) Subcontracts. The Contractor agrees to insert this clause in all subcontracts subject to the Service Contract Labor Standards statute Restriction on Acquisition of Ball and Roller Bearings (f) The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (f), in all subcontracts, except those for (1) Commercial items; or (2) Items that do not contain ball or roller bearings. 15
16 Non-Mandatory Flowdown Clauses There are a number of clauses that, while not mandatory, should be modified and flowed-down in order to protect the Prime s interest Examples include: Changes Termination for Convenience Termination for Default Stop-Work Order DPAS 16
17 Non-Mandatory Flowdown Clauses Changes Clauses (FAR Fixed-Price) Prime s Perspective Prime needs to flow down the ability to make unilateral changes with its subcontractors in the event of a government unilateral change Prime should shorten the notice time period referenced at paragraph (c) of the clause from 30 days to 15 days Subcontractor s Perspective Subcontractor should draw a distinction between a governmentdirected change and a Prime-directed change 17
18 Non-Mandatory Flowdown Clauses Termination for Convenience (FAR Fixed-Price Supply and Service) Permits the Government to unilaterally terminate for convenience the prime contract at any time Prime s Perspective Should flow down this clause to all subcontractors Should shorten the 1-year termination settlement proposal period, so that the Prime can include any subcontractor proposals in the Prime s proposal to the government Subcontractor s Perspective Limit application so that the Prime may only terminate for convenience the subcontract only when the prime contract has been terminated for convenience by the government 18
19 Commercial Item Flowdowns The FAR limits the clauses a Prime may flow down to subcontracts for commercial items FAR (e)(1) and FAR (c)(1) list clauses that a Prime is required to include in its commercial item subcontracts; many of these required clauses only apply under certain conditions FAR (e)(2) and FAR (c)(2) both provide that, in addition to the listed clauses, a Prime may flowdown to subcontracts for commercial items a minimal number of additional clauses necessary to satisfy its contractual obligations. 19
20 Commercial Item Flowdowns The DFARS similarly limits the clauses a Prime may flow down to subcontracts for commercial items DFARS , Subcontracts for Commercial Items : (a) The Contractor is not required to flow down the terms of any Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clause in subcontracts for commercial items at any tier under this contract, unless so specified in the particular clause. (b) While not required, the Contractor may flow down to subcontracts for commercial items a minimal number of additional clauses necessary to satisfy its contractual obligation. 20
21 Commercial Item Flowdowns Additional limits on the clauses that may be flowed down to commercial item subcontracts FAR and DFARS : Lists laws that are not applicable to subcontracts at any tier for the acquisition of commercial items Exemptions for commercial item subcontracts are identified directly in some of the clauses themselves, for example: FAR , Display of Hotline Poster(s) FAR , Small Business Subcontracting Plan Given the limitations on flowdown clauses in commercial item subcontracts, it is important to for the Prime and Subcontractor to determine upfront whether the supplies/services at issue are commercial items as defined at FAR
22 Approaches to Drafting Flowdowns Incorporation by reference versus in full text FAR : Clauses should be incorporated by reference to the maximum practical extent, rather than being incorporated in full text 22
23 Approaches to Drafting Flowdowns The FAR contemplates that Primes develop flowdowns on a contract-by-contract basis Requires a great deal of time and resources; not feasible for most companies More common method is for the Prime to develop a document (or documents) that contains the FAR, DFARS, and supplemental acquisition regulation flowdowns from all of its prime contracts and then separate those clauses into various categories 23
24 Approaches to Drafting Flowdowns Categories of Clauses Based on Value The following clauses apply to subcontracts/orders with a value of $150,000 or more Based on Type of Work The following clauses apply to subcontracts/orders for services Based on Contract Type The following clauses apply to cost-reimbursement subcontracts/orders The following clauses apply to non-commercial item subcontracts/orders Hybrid The following clauses apply to non-commercial item subcontracts/orders with a values of $150,000 or more 24
25 Approaches to Drafting Flowdowns Include language next to clause identifying the conditions under which the clause applies These conditions, if any, are usually (but not always) set forth in the flowdown paragraph of the clause Identifying applicability conditions provides guidance to subcontractors as to which clauses apply to them, which helps streamline the negotiation process 25
26 Identifying Applicable Version Primes are required to flow down the version of the clause that is in the Prime s contract Important for parties to understand which version of clause applies Subcontractor s substantive compliance obligations may differ based on version of the clause e.g., March 2015 version of FAR , Combatting Trafficking in Persons, requires some contractors to develop compliance plan; no such requirement in earlier versions of the clause Flowdown obligations may differ based on the version of the clause, as flowdown thresholds change e.g., FAR , Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, flowdown threshold increased from $5M to $5.5M 26
27 Identifying Applicable Version Prime s Perspective Best practice is to specifically identify the date of the applicable version for each applicable prime contract Other option is to include the version of the clause that applies most broadly and provides the Prime with the most protection e.g., Should choose the version of the clause with lower dollar threshold Subcontractor s Perspective Subcontractor should ensure that it knows which version applies; do not assume it s the current version Earlier versions of FAR clauses can be accessed at the Archives tab of website 27
28 Identifying Applicable Version 28
29 Defining Terms/Parties FAR/DFARS clauses include terms which are geared to prime contracts When flowing down the clauses, the Prime should alter these terms to fit the subcontract Contract means Subcontract Contracting Officer means an authorized representative of Buyer Contractor means Seller Government means Buyer Disputes clause means the disputes clause of the subcontract 29
30 Defining Terms/Parties Substitution of parties is not appropriate for some clauses For the intellectual property clauses, the rights and responsibilities should be between the Subcontractor and the Government, not between the Subcontractor and the Prime 30
31 Takeaways Read the text of the clauses to determine whether the clauses are mandatory flowdowns and identify any conditions under which the flowdowns apply Flow down and modify those clauses necessary to mitigate and allocate legitimate risks (e.g., Changes and Termination clauses) Determine early on whether the supplies/services at issue are commercial items and identify those clauses inapplicable to commercial item subcontracts Identify the approach to drafting flowdowns appropriate for your company Clearly identify which version of the clause applies Include language defining the terms/parties so that the clauses make sense in the context of the subcontract 31

34 Outline What is a Subcontractor? Common Types of Subcontracts The Christian Doctrine Representations and Certifications Subcontract Negotiation Techniques 34
35 Subcontract/or Defined Several definitions in the FAR importantly, FAR (the overall FAR definitional provision) does not define Subcontract or Subcontractor but it does define Contract : Contract means a mutually binding legal relationship obligating the seller to furnish the supplies or services (including construction) and the buyer to pay for them. It includes all types of commitments that obligate the Government to an expenditure of appropriated funds and that, except as otherwise authorized, are in writing. In addition to bilateral instruments, contracts include (but are not limited to) awards and notices of awards; job orders or task letters issued under basic ordering agreements; letter contracts; orders, such as purchase orders, under which the contract becomes effective by written acceptance or performance; and bilateral contract modifications. Contracts do not include grants and cooperative agreements covered by 31 U.S.C. 6301, et seq. For discussion of various types of contracts, see part
36 Subcontract/or Defined FAR , Subcontracting Policies and Procedures; Definitions Subcontract means any contract as defined in subpart 2.1 entered into by a subcontractor to furnish supplies or services for performance of a prime contract or a subcontract. It includes but is not limited to purchase orders, and changes and modifications to purchase orders. Subcontractor means any supplier, distributor, vendor, or firm that furnishes supplies or services to or for a prime contractor or another subcontractor. 36
37 Subcontract/or Defined FAR , Small Business Subcontracting; Definitions Subcontract means any agreement (other than one involving an employer-employee relationship) entered into by a Government prime contractor or subcontractor calling for supplies and/or services required for performance of the contract, contract modification, or subcontract. 37
38 Subcontract/or Defined FAR , Subcontractor Kickbacks Subcontract, means a contract or contractual action entered into by a prime contractor or subcontractor for the purpose of obtaining supplies, materials, equipment, or service of any kind under a prime contract. Subcontractor, (1) means any person, other than the prime contractor, who offers to furnish or furnishes any supplies, materials, equipment, or services of any kind under a prime contract or a subcontract entered into in connection with such prime contract, and (2) includes any person who offers to furnish or furnishes general supplies to the prime contractor or a higher tier subcontractor. 38
39 Subcontract/or Defined Some more references FAR , Commercial items; Definitions FAR , Contract Pricing; Definitions FAR , Equal Employment Opportunity; Definitions FAR , Reporting Executive Compensation and First-Tier Subcontract Awards 39
40 Does This Make You Feel.? 40
41 What Does It All Mean? Technically, a subcontractor is any vendor providing supplies or services that are ultimately used in performance of a Government prime contract. 41
42 Privity of Contract Only a person that has a contracting relationship with another person may claim rights to the relationship This means Government subcontractors lack a direct contractual relationship with the Government No direct access to BCAs/Court of Federal Claims No direct claim against Government In some cases, subcontractors cannot even talk directly to the Government 42
43 5 Typical Exceptions To The Doctrine Of Privity 1. Government rights under Intellectual Property clauses 2. Government audit rights 3. Rights granted by socioeconomic clauses 4. Suspension and debarment proceedings 5. Ethics and mandatory disclosures 43
44 Types of Subcontracts Firm-Fixed-Price Cost Reimbursement Incentive Contracts Indefinite Delivery Contracts Time and Materials Contracts 44
45 Firm-Fixed-Price FAR , Description A firm-fixed-price contract provides for a price that is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the contractor s cost experience in performing the contract. This contract type places upon the contractor maximum risk and full responsibility for all costs and resulting profit or loss. It provides maximum incentive for the contractor to control costs and perform effectively and imposes a minimum administrative burden upon the contracting parties. The contracting officer may use a firmfixed-price contract in conjunction with an award-fee incentive (see ) and performance or delivery incentives (see and ) when the award fee or incentive is based solely on factors other than cost. The contract type remains firm-fixed-price when used with these incentives. 45
46 Firm-Fixed-Price When is a Firm-Fixed-Price contract appropriate? The supplies or services have reasonably definite functional or detailed specifications; The contracting officer can establish fair and reasonable prices; Uncertainties can be identified and their costs reasonably estimated; and The contractor is willing to assume the risks involved 46
47 Firm-Fixed-Price Advantages Certainty Typically fewer administrative burdens Disadvantages Maximum risk Full responsibility for cost overruns 47
48 Cost Reimbursement FAR , Description Cost-reimbursement types of contracts provide for payment of allowable incurred costs, to the extent prescribed in the contract. These contracts establish an estimate of total cost for the purpose of obligating funds and establishing a ceiling that the contractor may not exceed (except at its own risk) without the approval of the contracting officer. 48
49 Cost Reimbursement When is a cost reimbursement contract appropriate? Circumstances do not allow the agency to define its requirements sufficiently to allow for a fixed-price type contract; or Uncertainties involved in contract performance do not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed-price contract. 49
50 Cost Reimbursement Advantages Typically less risk Flexible, allows for changes in specifications Allows for increased costs as necessary to meet performance requirements Disadvantages More administrative burden Limited certainty as to final cost 50
51 Incentive Contracts FAR (a), General Incentive contracts are appropriate when a firm-fixed-price contract is not appropriate and the required supplies or services can be acquired at lower costs and, in certain instances, with improved delivery or technical performance, by relating the amount of profit or fee payable under the contract to the contractor s performance. Incentive contracts are designed to obtain specific acquisition objectives by (1) Establishing reasonable and attainable targets that are clearly communicated to the contractor; and (2) Including appropriate incentive arrangements designed to (i) motivate contractor efforts that might not otherwise be emphasized; and (ii) discourage contractor inefficiency and waste. 51
52 Indefinite Delivery Contracts FAR , Definitions Delivery-order contract means a contract for supplies that does not procure or specify a firm quantity of supplies (other than a minimum or maximum quantity) and that provides for the issuance of orders for the delivery of supplies during the period of the contract. Task-order contract means a contract for services that does not procure or specify a firm quantity of services (other than a minimum or maximum quantity) and that provides for the issuance of orders for the performance of tasks during the period of the contract. FAR (a), General There are three types of indefinite-delivery contracts: definite-quantity contracts, requirements contracts, and indefinite-quantity contracts [also known as Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity or IDIQ ]. The appropriate type of indefinite-delivery contract may be used to acquire supplies and/or services when the exact times and/or exact quantities of future deliveries are not known at the time of contract award. 52
53 Time and Materials Contracts FAR , Time and Materials Contracts A time-and-materials contract provides for acquiring supplies or services on the basis of (1) Direct labor hours at specified fixed hourly rates that include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit; and (2) Actual cost for materials (except as provided for in (e) and (f)). A time-and-materials contract may be used only when it is not possible at the time of placing the contract to estimate accurately the extent or duration of the work or to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of confidence. 53
54 The Christian Doctrine G.L. Christian and Associates v. U.S., 312 F.2d 418 (Ct. Cl. 1963) Parties to a contract are deemed to have agreed to a contract term required by law to be included in the contract. 54
55 Representations and Certifications FAR Subpart 4.12 Prospective contractors are required to complete electronic annual representations and certifications at SAM accessed via as a part of required registration Prime contractors may require subcontractors to complete representations and certifications Representations and certifications are critical and they must be accurate 55
