"This contract/grant is entered into under the authority of the Administrator as head of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), which is temporarily exercising governmental authority in Iraq pursuant to the law and usages of war and relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions, including Resolution 1483 (2003)("Coalition") and by ______________________ ("Contractor"). 2) Competition. a) Contracts. Unless otherwise exempted under this Memorandum, competition is mandatory for all Contracts. Reasonable efforts will be made to obtain competitive offers by publicizing a solicitation through bulletin boards, the CPA World Wide Web page, the UNDB, vendor databases developed by the Head of Contracting Activity, and other means. If circumstances required award of a contract without competition, a written justification describing the exigencies requiring contracting without competition will be documented in the Contract file. Contracts will be awarded to the offer providing the greatest value to the CPA or Coalition Forces, based on price and all other evaluation factors contained in the solicitation. b) Grants. Reasonable efforts will be made to identify all organizations capable of performing the Grant. Grants in excess of $500,000 will be tendered for proposals by capable organizations, except as authorized for good cause, in writing, by the official that appointed the Contracting Officer involved. 3) Preference for Iraqi Vendors. Iraqi-based vendors who are capable of performing a Contract or Grant in a responsible and responsive manner will be afforded the following preferences when competing with foreign firms. If the Contracting Officer determines that at least two Iraqi-based vendors are available, the Contracting Officer may limit the competition to Iraqi-based vendors only. It the Contracting Officer determines that limiting competition to Iraqi-based vendors is not appropriate, the Contracting Officer may use the amount of Iraqi participation in the contract (as a subcontractor or otherwise) as an evaluation criterion for purposes of determining who is entitled to the award of the contract. 4) Fair and Reasonable Price. The Contracting Officer must determine that the price of a contract is fair and reasonable. Prices for goods and services will not exceed their fair market value--as determined by the Contracting Officer--after considering the time for delivery or urgency of the service, and other relevant factors.

5) Conflicts of Interests. Contracts or Grants administered under this Memorandum will not directly or indirectly benefit any Ministry, CPA or Coalition Forces official or employee involved in the contracting or grant-making process, or the family members of such officials or employees. Persons involved in the contracting process, from the development of the requirement through the completion of performance, shall not: a) Hold financial interests that conflict with the conscientious performance of duty. b) Engage in financial transactions using nonpublic Government information or allow the improper use of such information to further any private interest. c) Solicit or accept any gift or other item of monetary value from any person or entity seeking official action from, doing business with, or conducting activities regulated by the CPA, or whose interests may be substantially affected by the performance or nonperformance of the employee's duties. d) Knowingly make unauthorized commitments or promises of any kind purporting to bind the CPA. e) Use public office for private gain. An official or employee of the CPA or Coalition Forces involved in the contracting process shall: a) Act impartially and not give preferential treatment to any private organization or individual. b) Disclose waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption to appropriate authorities. c) Endeavor to avoid any actions creating the appearance that they are violating the law or ethical standards. 6) Combining and Dividing Awards. To the extent practicable, requirements for a project or related projects may be consolidated into one contract, in order to reduce the administrative burden of contracting. Requirements may not be split to avoid the application of these rules. 7) Responsibility. Contracting officers must determine that a contractor who receives a contract award must be responsible. This means that the contractor must:

Section 7 Contracts 1) Micro-Purchases. Micro-Purchase Contracts may be awarded without competition if the Contracting Officer determines that the offered price and terms are fair and reasonable. However, Contracting Officers are encouraged to obtain competition when possible. Oral solicitations may be used. Micro-Purchases will be documented in summary files demonstrating competition (if any), basis for award (if other than lowest price), and material terms. The documentation will be tailored to the size and nature of the acquisition. 2) Small Purchases. Contracting Officers, when possible, will obtain at least three competitive offers for Small Purchases. For Small Purchases from $5,000.01 to $25,000, oral solicitations may be used; however, Contracting Officers must maintain documentation of sources solicited. For Small Purchases greater than $25,000, written solicitations will be used. Sufficient information will be included in the contract file to enable a review of the transaction, including evidence of competition or the basis for contracting without competition, price quotations, and the basis for the contract award if price is not the determining factor. Written justifications detailing the unique qualifications of the contractor or other exigent circumstances requiring an award without competition will be prepared for Small Purchases. Requirements for justifications are contained in Appendix A. CPA/MEM/19 August 2003/04

a) Blanket Purchase Agreements. Contracting Officers are encouraged to use blanket purchase agreements for repetitive requirements to reduce administrative burdens and to obtain favorable pricing. b) All Small Purchase contracts will contain payment terms including an agree upon payment schedule (preferably with milestones tied to performance) for service contracts, and performance requirements clearly defining the responsibilities and time for performance. Additionally, the Contracting Officer will use appropriate contract provisions listed in Appendix B to this Memorandum for the particular solicitation or contract involved. c) Requirements in excess of $10,000 should be posted at a public location and disseminated in a manner that will foster competition, including advertising in local media when appropriate, through bulletin boards, the CPA World Wide Web page, vendor databases developed by the Head of Contracting Activity, and other means. 3) Large Purchases. a) Large Purchase Contracts will be competed, except as authorized below. All Large Purchase contract opportunities will be posted and advertised to the maximum extent practicable, with a goal of obtaining at least three competitive offers. b) The Head of Contracting Activity, CPA, will ensure that experienced contracting officials are assigned to execute contracts underneath the HCA and provide technical assistance to all other appointed Contracting Officers or Iraqi Ministry Contracting Activities with respect to all Large Purchase solicitations. c) Acquisitions generally will be made through negotiation. The contracting agency will develop a Request for Proposal (RFP) for submission to prospective contractors. The RFP will set forth the essential information necessary to fully describe the contracting opportunity. Contracting Officers may hold a pre-proposal conference to answer questions and to clarify the RFP, provided all prospective contractors are informed of the conference. Award evaluation factors will be tailored to the acquisition, but must include price as a factor. Others factors may include technical expertise, financial stability of the contractor based upon a review of financial statements, and prior contract performance. The Contracting Officer may request final proposals from contractors in the competitive range. Based upon the review of the proposals, a preliminary award decision will be made.

d) If a contracting officer determines that (1) time permits the solicitation, submission and evaluation of sealed bids; (2) award will be made only on the basis of price or price-related factors; (3) discussions with prospective bidders will not be necessary, and (4) there is a reasonable expectation of receiving more than one sealed bid, the contractor may, instead of an RFP, use an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to compete the acquisition. The IFB will set forth the essential information necessary to fully describe the contracting opportunity. Contracting Officers may hold a pre-bid conference to answer questions and to clarify the IFB provided all prospective contractors are informed of the conference. Because an IFB requires that the requirement be clearly stated prior to issuing the solicitation, IFBs will only be used by contracting officers under the direct control of the Head of the Contracting Activity, CPA. e) Written justifications detailing the unique qualifications of the contractor or other exigent circumstances requiring an award without competition will be prepared for all Large Purchases awarded without competition. Requirements for justifications are contained in Appendix A. All Large Purchase justifications will be reviewed and approved in writing by either the Contracting Officer's appointing authority or the Head of Contracting Activity, CPA, or his designee. f) Except for awards by Contracting Officers appointed by the Head of Contracting Activity or the Principal Assistant Responsible for Contracting, CPA, Large Purchase preliminary award decisions will be reviewed by a Contract Award Committee of at least three officials, designated by the official who appointed the Contracting Officer for the particular project, prior to award. The Committee will review the proposals and Contract file to ensure compliance with procedural and competition requirements, that the contract represents sound business judgment, that the process used was fair and impartial, and that the proposed award represents the best value based upon the evaluation factors. Large Purchase preliminary award decisions by Contracting Officers appointed by the Head of the Contracting Activity, CPA will be coordinated with the Head of Contracting Activity, CPA, or his designee, prior to award. g) Notwithstanding paragraph 3(e) above, Large Purchase Contracts may be executed in the absence of a Contract Award Committee, provided the Head of Contracting Activity, CPA, determines that there are sufficient alternative means to ensure that the particular solicitation action has been appropriately managed.

h) Contracting officers are encouraged to establish payment schedules that provide for payments as the vendor accomplishes specified performance milestones. 4) Contract Modifications and Amendments. Contract modifications and amendments are subject to the same documentation provisions as original contracts. Contracting Officers must ensure the cost of the contract modification or amendment is fair and reasonable. Amendments or modifications that are outside the scope of the contract or that constitute new requirements should be addressed through new contracts.

Section 8 Monitoring Contract Performance Consistent with their programmatic responsibility to ensure that contractors and grantees properly perform their duties, Contracting Officers shall be responsible for regularly monitoring the post-award execution of all Contracts they approve. This monitoring process includes ensuring that the contractor provides the agree upon goods, services or construction in accordance with the provisions, and that payments are made in a timely manner. Contracting Officers shall include in the Contract file a written report describing post-award performance by contractors or grantees, including a final assessment upon completion of the Contract. Contracting officers shall rely upon locally available military engineering resources in assessing all repair and construction projects. All documents related to the establishment and execution of Contracts will be maintained in a Contract file that includes the materials described in Appendix A to this Memorandum.

Section 9 Grants Consistent with Program Review Board requirements, Grants may be made available to support important public initiatives. 1) Applications for Grants must describe the initiative, anticipated costs and the desired results. The applications should also set forth objective standards for measuring the success of the Grant.

2) In reviewing grant applications, consideration shall be given to the number of people affected by the grant and the impact on community development. Grants should be reviewed during implementation and where appropriate funds should be made available on a schedule tied to the accomplishment of specific milestones specified by the CPA or Coalition Forces, and related to the objective measures of success. 3) Although there generally is little substantial involvement between the CPA or Coalition Forces and the grantee following the award of the Grant, a grant agreement will be conducted according to a form prescribed by the Head of Contracting Activity, CPA, in coordination with the Office of the General Counsel, CPA, and the grantee's performance must be monitored to ensure that the granted funds are expended for appropriate purposes consistent with the Grant, and to assess the grantee's suitability for future Grants. Contracting Officers responsible for Grants shall include in the Grant file a written report describing post-award performance by or grantees, including a final assessment upon completion of the Grant. Section 10 Funds Allocated through the National Budget Process 1) Funds allocated through the National Budget Process will be made available to the interim Iraqi Ministries in accordance with the National Budget. The CPA Office of Management and Budget will allocate funds to the Iraqi Ministry of Finance for further distribution to the Iraqi Ministries, in accordance with the national Budget and in a manner that will ensure appropriate transparency. The interim Iraqi Ministries may draw on allocated funds by submitting a request for funds to the Iraqi Ministry of Finance. 2) Contracts or grants executed by interim Iraqi Ministries may be carried out in accordance with applicable Iraqi laws and Ministry contracting procedures only if the Administrator or his designee determines that the Ministry's application of these controls will ensure transparency. However, in the event that a protest is filed against the proposed award of a contract or grant, the provisions of the Protests clause in Appendix B of this Memorandum shall apply. If the Administrator or his designee does not determine that applicable Iraqi laws and Ministry contracting procedures can ensure transparency in the use of Iraqi funds, the rules of this Memorandum shall apply. 3) As part of the CPA's responsibility to ensure that CPA Funds are used for their intended purpose, the CPA Comptroller, in coordination with the Head of
