Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 20, 2017 / Notices
ensures that VA and VA beneficiaries
will be protected by adequate insurance
coverage.
VAAR clause 852.228–71,
Indemnification and Insurance, is used
in solicitations for vehicle or aircraft
services. It requires the apparent
successful bidder/offeror, prior to
contract award, to furnish evidence that
the firm possesses the types and
amounts of insurance required by the
solicitation. This evidence is in the form
of a certificate from the firm’s insurance
company. The information is required to
protect VA by ensuring that the firm to
which award will be made possesses the
types and amounts of insurance
required by the solicitation. It helps
ensure that VA will not be held liable
for any negligent acts of the contractor
and ensures that VA beneficiaries and
the public are protected by adequate
insurance coverage.
VAAR clause 852.207–70, Report of
Employment Under Commercial
Activities, is used in solicitations for
commercial items and services where
the work is currently being performed
by VA employees and where those
employees might be displaced as a
result of an award to a commercial firm.
The clause requires contractors awarded
such contracts to provide, within 5 days
of contract award, a list of employment
openings, including salaries and
benefits, and blank job application
forms. The clause also requires the
contractor, prior to the contract start
date, to report: The names of adversely
affected Federal employees offered
employment openings; the date the offer
was made; a description of the position;
the date of acceptance and the effective
date of employment; the date of
rejection if an employee rejected an
offer; the salary and benefits contained
in any rejected offer; and the names of
employees who applied for but were not
offered employment and the reasons for
withholding offers to those employees.
In addition, the clause requires the
contractor, during the first 90 days of
contract performance, to report the
names of all persons hired or terminated
under the contract. The information will
be used by the contracting officer to
monitor and ensure compliance by the
contractor with the requirements of FAR
clause 52.207–3, Right of First Refusal
of Employment.
VA uses the information to determine
whether additional contract terms and
conditions are necessary to mitigate the
conflict. An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
