This contract shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the Federal laws of the United States of America.
NAF procurement is governed by Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 4105.67, NAF Procurement Policy and
Procedure, available at http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/ (or any successor website).
21. SUSTAINABILITY - Go Green
The NAFI encourages contractors/vendors to embrace, establish and promote environmentally sustainable "Green
Initiatives." We look to the contractor to accomplish this by:
a. Where possible utilize environmentally friendly products
b. Where possible promote energy-efficiency and water conservation
c. Where possible eliminate/reduce the production or generation of hazardous waste and the need for special
material processing (including special handling, storage, treatment and disposal)
22. PROOF OF SHIPMENT
Applicable to shipments outside the United States through the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command and
Parcel Post shipments to overseas destinations.
a. Notwithstanding any clause of this contract to the contrary, payment will be made for items not yet received,
upon receipt of an invoice accompanied by an appropriate proof of shipment. If shipment is made by insured
parcel post, the contractor must furnish a copy of the Insured Mail Receipt issued by the US Postal Service.
Otherwise, a stamped copy of a Certificate of Mailing issued by the US Postal Service must be furnished. If
shipment is made by a common carrier (rail, air or motor freight), the Contractor must furnish a signed copy
of the shipping document on which items are receipted for by the common carrier. A signed receipt by a
NAFI representative at the delivery point, Consolidation Containerization Point or Port of Embarkation is
also acceptable evidence of proof of shipment.
b. Forwarding a proof of shipment and an invoice for payment by the Contractor shall be construed as a
certification by the contractor that the items shipped conform to the specifications.
c. Notwithstanding any provisions of this clause or any payment made pursuant to the terms of this clause prior
to receipt of the items contracted for, the NAFI retains the right to inspect upon receipt and the right to reject
nonconforming items. The liability of the Contractor with respect to items for which payments have been
made will, after inspection by the NAFI or after the expiration of a reasonable time following delivery to the
NAFI within which inspection may be made, whichever occurs first, be limited to exceptions taken at the
time of inspection, and latent defects, fraud, or such gross mistakes as amount to fraud.
23. VARIATION IN QUANTITY
No variation in quantity of any item called for by this contract will be accepted unless authorized by the Contracting
Officer.
24. PARTIAL DELIVERIES
Partial deliveries are not permitted unless authorized by the terms of the contract or approved by the Contracting
Officer.
Modified 1 January 2015
25. PAYMENTS
Partial payments will be made when deliveries are authorized or as approved by the Contracting Officer. Payments
and penalties for late payments are subject to the requirements established by the Prompt Payment Act, as amended,
and as implemented for NAFIs. If the NAFI makes payment but such payment fails to include a prompt payment
penalty due to the Contractor within 10 days from when the contract payment is made, penalty amounts will not be
paid unless the Contractor makes a written request within forty days after the date of payment.
26. DISCOUNTS FOR PROMPT PAYMENT
a. Discounts for prompt payment will not be considered in the evaluation of offers. However, any offered
discount will form a part of the award, and will be taken if payment is made within the discount period
indicated in the offer by the offeror. As an alternative to offering a prompt payment discount in conjunction
with the offer, offerors awarded contracts may include prompt payment discounts on individual invoices.
b. In connection with any discount offered for prompt payment, time shall be computed from the date of the
invoice. If the Contractor has not placed a date on the invoice, the due date shall be calculated from the date
the designated billing office receives a proper invoice, provided the agency annotates such invoice with the
date of receipt at the time of receipt. For the purpose of computing the discount earned, payment shall be
considered to have been made on the date that appears on the payment check or, for an electronic funds
transfer, the specified payment date. When the discount date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday
when Federal Government offices are closed and Government business is not expected to be conducted,
payment may be made on the following business day.
27. NOTIFICATION OF DEBARMENT/SUSPENSION STATUS
The Contractor shall provide immediate notice to the Contracting Officer in the event of being suspended, debarred or
declared ineligible by any other Federal Department or agency, or upon receipt of a notice of proposed debarment
from another DoD Agency, during the performance of this contract.
28. NON WAIVER OF DEFAULTS - Any failure by the NAFI at any time to enforce or require strict performance of
any terms or conditions shall not constitute waiver thereof, and shall not affect or impair such terms or conditions in
any way or the NAFI's right at any time to avail itself of such remedies as it may have for any breach or breaches of
such terms or conditions.
29. TRAVEL CLAUSE
Contractors and/or their duly appointed representative will make their own travel arrangements, purchase their own
tickets, and submit requests for reimbursement to the issuing office found in Block 12 of the award. Travel costs will
be paid by the contracting NAFI, up to the maximum amount authorized in the federal travel regulations. The
contractor shall submit original receipts of airline tickets, lodging, car rental and other expenses exceeding $75.00.
Contractor personnel must acquire airline travel by the most economical methods, to include obtaining coach fares,
buy advance purchase tickets (when possible), and plan minimal travel time necessary to accomplish the task. The
contractor is liable for costs associated with unused or changed airline tickets, where non-use is not caused by the
NAFI. Documents are required to support payment of travel costs. The Contracting Officer and or their duly
appointed representative will approve, in advance, any changes in the itinerary. Contractors must obtain approval
before submitting other than lowest airfare travel reimbursement requests from the invoicing office. Local travel for
which mileage is claimed; to include travel to and from the airport when air travel is involved must be indicated on
the itinerary on form 1351-2 or other approved form.
30. Establishing a Minimum Wage for Contractors

held liable for unpaid wages due subcontractor workers. The Contractor shall include this clause, including this
paragraph, in all subcontracts, regardless of dollar value, that are subject to Service Contract Labor Standards
statute (formerly known as the Service Contract Act) or the Wage Rate Requirements (Construction) statute
(formerly known as the Davis Bacon Act), and are to be performed in whole or in part in the United States.
