ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CONTRACTING OFFICER For GOVERNMENT PROPERTY Presented by Dr. Douglas N. Goetz, CPPM, CF Professor of Contract Management Retired – Now Intermittent Defense Acquisition University President, GP Consultants LLC

GOVERNMENT PROPERTY TOPICAL OUTLINE OVERVIEW OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY FAR Part 45 and Part 52 Policy requirements of FAR Part 45 The Government Property Clauses Contracting Officer Requirements Pre-award Responsibilities Post-award Responsibilities Some DO’S and DON’TS from a Contracting Perspective

GOVERNMENT PROPERTY FAR Part 45 Sets forth Policy and Procedures for Providing Government Property (GP) Definitions peculiar to GP – 45.101 Policy on Providing – 45.102 Contractor PMS Compliance – 45.105 Contract Clauses for GP – 45.107 Solicitation & Evaluation Procedures re: GP – 45.2 Use and Rental of GP – 45.3 Title to GP – 45.4 Support Property Administration for GP – 45.5 Reporting, Reutilization and Disposal of GP – 45.6

GOVERNMENT PROPERTY The GP Clauses – Reduced from 19 to 3 ALT I: FP for competitive contracts (Full Risk of Loss) ALT II: CR for the conduct of basic or applied research at nonprofit institutions of higher education or nonprofit organizations for scientific research. 52.245-2 GP Installation Operation Services 52.245-9 Use and Charges

SO WHAT?!?!? If contracting actions are done improperly at the beginning of the contract – they will haunt and potentially hurt us through out the performance of the contract. Contracting Officers play a CRITICAL ROLE in the property management for Government property in the possession of Contractors

RESPONSIBILITIES PRE-AWARD CONTRACTING OFFICER RESPONSIBILITIES PRE-AWARD

DETERMINATION TO PROVIDE Government Property Overarching Policy – 45.102 Contractors are ordinarily required to furnish ALL PROPERTY Necessary to perform Government contracts SO WHY IS THERE OVER $150 Billion/1.2 TRILLION worth of GP in the hands of DEFENSE contractors?

DETERMINATION TO PROVIDE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY FAR 45.102 (b) CONTRACTING OFFICERS SHALL PROVIDE PROPERTY TO CONTRACTORS ONLY WHEN IT IS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED--

DETERMINATION TO PROVIDE GP To be in the Government’s Best Interest; Examples may include but are not limited to expedited delivery, increased competition, supporting small business, etc. (2) That the overall benefit to the procurement significantly outweighs the increased cost of administration, including ultimate property disposal; COs MUST consider the costs to repair GP over its useful life based upon the age and condition of the GP to be potentially furnished, the potential cost to replace lost, damaged or destroyed GP, and the cost associated with the disposition of the GP INCLUDING items such as HAZARDOUS WASTES, EXPLOSIVES, DEMILITARIZATION, etc.

DETERMINATION TO PROVIDE GP (3) That providing the property does not substantially increase the Government’s risk; and COs may obtain information from the cognizant PA of the potential contractor’s risk assessment rating as it applies to the management of GP (4) That Government requirements cannot otherwise be met For Example, Sole Source procurements, emergency procurements, contingency contracting, etc.

DETERMINATION TO PROVIDE GP Be Careful!!! 45.102 (c) The contractor’s inability or unwillingness to supply its own resources is not a sufficient reason for the furnishing or acquisition of property Real World: Contractors often tell the Government what GFP they need.

DETERMINATION TO PROVIDE GP Yes, I know – it has always been EASY to FURNISH Government Property (GP). We say, “It’s cheaper if we provide GFP!” We need to consider ALL of the variables associated with furnishing GFP! As we are trying to REDUCE, to maximum extent practicable, the furnishing of GP! So, ya’ gotta think about it!!!

CO DETERMINATION TO PROVIDE GP Providing Government Furnished Property must be a conscious deliberate well thought out ACQUISITION PLANNING Decision! There are Natural Consequences.

INCLUSION OF GFP LISTINGS in the Solicitation OK, so the CO has decided to provide GFP You must include a LISTING(s), of that PROPOSED GFP including the following Data: (1) The name, part number and description, manufacturer, model number, and National Stock Number (if needed for additional item identification tracking and/or disposition); (2) Quantity/unit of measure; (3) Unit acquisition cost; (4) Unique-Item Identifier or equivalent (if available and necessary for individual item tracking); and (5) A statement as to whether the property is to be furnished in an “as-is” condition and instructions for physical inspection.

Ahhhh – but there is MORE… CO REQUESTS OF OFFERORS TWO ITEMS: INFORMATION RELATED TO GP ALREADY IN THE OFFEROR’S POSSESSION PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN

CO REQUESTS OF OFFERORS 45.201(c) CO shall REQUIRE Contractors to Submit the following information with their offers— (1) A list or description of all Government property that the offeror or its subcontractors propose to use on a rent-free basis. The list shall identify the accountable contract under which the property is held and the authorization for its use (from the contracting officer having cognizance of the property); (2) The dates during which the property will be available for use (including the first, last, and all intervening months) and, for any property that will be used concurrently in performing two or more contracts, the amounts of the respective uses in sufficient detail to support prorating the rent; (3) The amount of rent that would otherwise be charged in accordance with FAR 52.245-9, Use and Charges; and

OFFEROR IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THEIR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN 45 OFFEROR IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THEIR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN 45.201(c)(4) CO is required to ask the Contractor for a Property Management Plan (PMP) Note – The FAR Part 45 rewrite should have created a solicitation provision. We’re working on it now. PMPs are to be Executive Level Documents where the contractor BRIEFLY describes its Property Management Processes

WHAT MAY BE IN A PMP Offeror may discuss: Status of current Property Management System Voluntary Consensus Standards (VCS) in place or proposed for use Industry Leading Practices (ILP) in place or proposed for use Other performance indicators, Metrics, Audit Results, etc.

WHAT SHOULD THE CO DO WITH THE PMP? Evaluate it for adequacy in terms of managing GP while in the Contractor’s possession Past Performance Indicator REAL WORLD APPLICATION Use the Services of the Government Property Administrator cognizant of that contractor/offeror (Generally DCMA – but may be others)

Eliminating Competitive Advantage For Fixed Price Contracts Use a Rental Equivalent Evaluation Factor (REEF) Computed through the Use and Charges Clause Reduce Offer by REEF when comparing Contracting WITH GP versus WITHOUT For Cost Reimbursement type Sorta’ a moot point

INCLUSION of the CORRECT CLAUSES 45.107 Where there is GP under a contract -- CO MUST USE BOTH: FAR 52.245-1 and FAR 52.245-9 Government Property Clause and Use and Charges Clause BUT/EXCEPT!!! No GP clauses required for property repair contracts/purchase orders with GP below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold

CLAUSAL VARIATIONS FULL RISK OF LOSS WITH NON-PROFIT ENTITIES MUST USE THE ALT I to FAR 52.245-1 For COMPETITIVE FP Contracts When No Cost or Pricing Data is Required WITH NON-PROFIT ENTITIES MUST USE THE ALT II to FAR 52.245-1 Provides Vesting of TITLE to Contractor Acquired Property in the Non-Profit

CONCERNS FOR THE PCO

FUNDING FOR ACTIONS When the Equitable Adjustment portion of the GP Clause is activated When GFP is: Not suitable for use Not delivered in a Timely basis Decreased When GFP requires repair beyond NORMAL Maintenance

FUNDING FOR ACTIONS Funding for replacing LOST, DAMAGED, DESTROYED, or STOLEN Government Property. Yes, contractors DO damage GP! And, in most Cases, the Government Acts as a Self Insurer/ INSURANCE COSTS

FUNDING FOR ACTIONS FUNDING DISPOSAL ACTIONS FUNDING FOR STORAGE Including: DEMILITARIZATION DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS WASTES NOTE: Contractors are ALREADY REQUIRED by the contract to “prepare for shipment and deliver FOB Origin.” Anything AFTER THIS is the Government’s Responsibility. FUNDING FOR STORAGE “What are you going to do with that GP when the Contract is complete?”

(Sometimes/Often in coordination with the PCO) POST AWARD CO ISSUES WHAT THE ACO (Sometimes/Often in coordination with the PCO) needs to know and do regarding GP!

POST AWARD CO RESPONSIBILITIES FAR PART 42 Discusses the Contract Administration Delegation: 42.302(a)(26) through (30) PCO ACO

42.302(a)(26) through (30) (27) [Reserved] (26) Perform property administration (see Part 45). (27) [Reserved] (28) Perform necessary screening, redistribution, and disposal of contractor inventory. (29) Issue contract modifications requiring the contractor to provide packing, crating, and handling services on excess Government property. When the ACO determines it to be in the Government’s interests, the services may be secured from a contractor other than the contractor in possession of the property.

42.302(a)(26) through (30) (30) When contractors request Government property— (i) Evaluate the contractor’s requests for Government property and for changes to existing Government property and provide appropriate recommendations to the contracting officer; (ii) Ensure required screening of Government property before acquisition by the contractor; (iii) Approve use of Government property on a noninterference basis in accordance with the clause at 52.245-9, Use and Charges; (iv) Ensure payment by the contractor of any rental due; and (v) Ensure reporting of items no longer needed for Government production.

EMBEDDED WITHIN FAR 42… ALL of the ACTIONS within FAR PART 45 that require the CO’s AUTHORITY! And there are a bunch!

POST AWARD CO RESPONSIBILITIES A QUICK LISTING of RESPONSIBILITIES Equitable Adjustments PMS Actions Liability Actions Maintenance Funding Actions Modification of Contracts for Changing GP Modification of Contracts for Authorizing USE Collection of Rent

ACO Responsibilities Equitable Adjustment IAW 52.245-1(d) “Government Furnished Property” and 52.245-1(i) “Equitable Adjustment” FOR: GFP Not Suitable for Use, Late Delivery, Decrease, or Repair (Beyond normal Maintenance)

ACO Responsibilities PMS Actions Correction of the contractor’s PMS FAR 45.105 Request the contractor to correct any deficiencies in their PMS. Failure may result in revocation of the Government’s Assumption of Risk or other Remedies

ACO Responsibilities Liability Actions ONE RESPONSIBILITY & TWO AUTHORITIES FUND for the REPAIR/REPLACEMENT of GP that was LDD&T (PCO/ACO both involved) REVOKE the Government’s Assumption of Risk (FAR 45.104 and 52.245-1(h)(iii) “HOLD” the contractor Liable for the Loss, Damage, Destruction or Theft of GP In accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the contract. Full versus Limited Risk of Loss

ACO Responsibilities Maintenance Funding Actions 52.245-1(f)(1)(ix) Contractor is responsible for “Normal” maintenance costs. Government is responsible for “Capital” type Rehabilitation PCO/ACO both involved

ACO Responsibilities Modification of Contract for Changing GP Transfer of Accountability FAR 45.106 MODS to BOTH Losing and Gaining Contracts PCO/ACO Both Involved Modification of Contract when EXISTING GP in Contractor’s possession needs to be Modified

ACO Responsibilities Modification of Contracts for Authorizing USE (Post Award Utilization Requests) Contractor authorized to USE GP on the instant contract Any other use requires AUTHORIZATION to BOTH ACCOUNTABLE Contract Requesting USING Contract

ACO Responsibilities Collection of Rent FAR 52.245-9 Must be Authorized by the CO to USE Rental Requests Submitted to the ACO ACO Verifies Rental Computation ACO Collects Rent payable to the “Treasurer of the United States” (Not the ACO) (sorry… small attempt at humor)

ACO Responsibilities FUND FOR DISPOSAL OF GP Contractor, for GP, is required to: PREPARE FOR SHIPMENT DELIVER FOB Point Government MAY have to Pay for the Disposal of GP That May: Be Hazardous Require Demilitarization Exceed Contractually Authorized PROCESSING TIME (120 Days) (Yes, the Government may have to PAY!)

Some DO’S and DON’TS for Contracting Professionals DO have the Program Manager or Requiring Activity Provide JUSTIFICATION to Support the Providing of GP FAR 45.102 (b)(1) & (2) & (3) and (4)

Some DO’S and DON’TS for Contracting Officers DON’T agree to furnish Government Property unless you meet the policy requirements of FAR 45.102 And DOCUMENT the ACTION This is a “MONETARY” Decision ($$$) DO Ensure the PROPER LISTING of GFP Furnished WITH Government Warranties Furnished “AS IS” Furnished under FAR 52.245-2 As is, where is, no warranties THREE POTENTIAL LISTS of GFP

Some DO’S and DON’TS for Contracting Officers DO Ensure That The GP Clause Is In The Contract (When Applicable) DON’T Direct The Contractor To Acquire Property For The Government That May Normally Be The Contractor’s Responsibility (FAR Part 31 and CAS Issue) DO Mod The Contract When Adding Or Decreasing GP

Some DO’S and DON’TS for Contracting Officers DON’T Ask The Contractor To “Ship In Place” Without Establishing Contractual Accountability (Due To Liability Issues) When On Base Or Installation DO Specify DRMO Use Versus GP Clause Disposition Process.

Some DO’S and DON’TS for Contracting Officers DON’T “GIVE” GP To The Contractor at Contract Completion Because Your Contract No Longer Needs It… Violation Of Law (Federal Property And Administrative Services Act Of 1949) DON’T Abandon GP To The Contractor When The Contractor Is Performing On A Government Base Or Installation.

Some DO’S and DON’TS for Contracting Officers DON’T Direct The Contractor To Retain GP After Contract Completion Because They “MAY” Be Awarded Another Government Contract. Do Contact the Appropriate Government Property Administrator If You Have Technical Questions About GP in the contractor’s possession!

So… What have we covered? OVERVIEW OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY FAR Part 45 and Part 52 Policy requirements of FAR Part 45 The Government Property Clauses Contracting Officer Requirements Pre-award Responsibilities Post-award Responsibilities Some DO’S and DON’TS from a Contracting Perspective
