We have answered the required Attribute Tab questions and uploaded the required Response Attachments to Region 4 ESC's online procurement site per the instructions outlined in the RFP Solicitation 24-01.

8 Minimum Quantities
Describe any minimums quantities.

There are no minimum quantity requirements for the OMNIA Region 4 contract. We offer an attractive discount structure which provides higher discounts based upon the list size of the order, including a negotiated tier for large projects.
9 Custom or special orders
What is the ability to provide custom or special order furniture products? Include catalogs and any fees related to custom or special orders.

Allsteel offers a wide array of product choices from tables to seating to systems components.? However, in the instance you cannot find a solution that works for your project, we offer the option to customize our standard products.??Pricing for our customized products is dependent upon the modification requested; list pricing for the custom item will be provided at time of request on a case-by-case basis. Customized list prices are not included in our standard list pricer. ? ​ ​ HNI and Allsteel are well versed in creating solutions to meet a customer’s specific needs. Approximately 85% of our large projects contain customs that range from fabrics and finishes to the use of new materials, or alterations to existing products, or the creation of new solutions. We have a dedicated Tailored Products Group (TPG) who works closely with our sales team and customers to confirm the quality and safety of our customized products. Our Close the Deal (CTD) team physically mocks-up a sample of commonly large orders and significant specials, allowing us to evaluate the custom product itself and in the context of its eventual environment to ensure it meets all requirements.? ​ ​ Custom product for large jobs is essentially a single customer standard. All prints and bills of material are executed at the same level as a standard product. Once they are initially completed, they flow seamlessly thereafter. Our TPG team meets daily with Operations and Supply Chain to ensure the custom requests in house advance as planned, and to review new requests to make sure the entire team is prepared and committed.? ​ ​ We offer an ability to deliver tailored product solutions in a seamless manner.

Because Allsteel manufactures our special applications products in-house, we have much better control of quality, cost, lead times, and warranty than other manufacturers. It’s the best of both worlds: the responsiveness of a custom shop, with the resources of a large manufacturer.? ​ ​ Specials may include:? ​ • Custom sizes? ​ • Special laminate requests – fulfilling requests for laminates not available in our standard offering ​ • Special paint finishes – assisting with requests for competitor's paint colors​ • Special fabric applications – accommodating requests for products with more than two fabrics​ • And MORE!?​ Please contact your dealer partner or salesperson, to start the custom process.?If the special is approved, a list price will be provided, and it will be assigned a "SPL" model number to manage the product through the order process. 1 0

Allsteel’s dedication to quality products is one of the ways we show our commitment to our customers. We recognize that keeping up with the pace of change requires having products that work as hard as the people who use them. That’s why each of our products is rigorously tested and certified to meet the highest industry standards. In the unlikely event that any Allsteel product or component covered by the Allsteel Warranty should fail under normal workplace use because of defective material or workmanship, Allsteel will help fix it at no additional cost to the customer. The complete terms of the warranty are available at https://www.allsteeloffice.com/information/warranty or contact your Authorized Dealer.

Describe any return or restocking fees.

Allsteel’s dealer network works closely with customers to ensure product needs are clearly identified and that the product selections meet these needs. Therefore, the need to return is minimal. In the event a return is being considered, the dealer will assist the customer in this process. Most Allsteel products are made-to-order, so restocking is not usually viable. Returns for made-to-order products, if approved, that are not a result of damage, order entry error, etc., may be subject to a return fee of up to 45% of the invoiced amount plus the cost of return freight. Upon receipt of necessary information regarding the return, Allsteel will issue a return authorization to the customer outlining items to be returned and where the items should be shipped. All returns must be made within 30 days after the return authorization is issued. Merchandise must be returned in the original shipping cartons with proper inner packing and is subject to inspection before acceptance. 1 4

Verification of Contract Pricing
Describe how customers verify they are receiving Contract pricing.

Ensuring Participating Agencies feel confident they are receiving accurate pricing and products under our Master Agreement is important to Allsteel.

For example, our Business Development Managers work one-on-one with each of our nationwide network of authorized dealers to ensure they are properly trained on the products, pricing, and requirements of the OMNIA Partners contract. We have developed several tools our dealers can utilize to ensure eligible contract users receive accurate pricing, they include Compass, our online pricing tool made available to dealers, and the Contract Summary Document.

If offering a catalog contract with discounts by category, while changes in individual pricing may change, the category discounts should not change over the term of the Contract.

We will submit the proposed list price increase in compliance of Region 4 and OMNIA Partners contract guidance.

Future Product Introductions
Describe how future product introductions will be priced and align with Contract pricing proposed. What is the proposed frequency for new product introductions?
Our product development efforts create end-user solutions that are relevant, differentiated, and focused on quality, aesthetics, style, sustainable design, and reducing manufacturing costs. We also continuously improve and enhance existing products through ergonomic research, improved manufacturing processes, alternative materials, and engineering support and training in each of our operating units. New products, improvements, and enhancements are generally introduced quarterly and will be priced similarly to like products within a product category. For instance, new task seating products will receive the same discount as current task seating products on contract. If, for some reason, new products do not adequately align with current categories, we will submit our new products for consideration with an explanation as to why they do not meet the current criteria. Allsteel will follow the requirements of the contract for new product introductions. 1 9
Are repurpose or end of life programs offered? If so, explain the process.

In the effort to keep HNI products out of the landfill, even after years of regular use, our company is actively researching ways to give our products a second life. To this end, we have partnered with Asset Network for Education Worldwide® (ANEW ®), a non-profit founded in 2004 to repurpose used office furnishings. Through HNI’s partnership with ANEW®, customers can repurpose their products, support local and national organizations, and reduce waste. Many of our dealers have Furniture Take Back, Pre-Owned Furniture, and Decommissions Programs to help with these efforts and support their local communities, such as donating furniture to local organizations. Additionally, we provide disassembly diagrams and environmental data sheets for our products.

These documents detail information on product materials and recyclability. They are intended to inform and support our customers on how to effectively recycle our products at the end of their useful life. 2 0

These services that would be negotiated on a case by case basis and additional fees may apply.

Describe experience with Prevailing Wage and Bacon-Davis.

Allsteel, utilizing our authorized dealer partners, has decades of experience servicing public sector agencies.

Prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon Act requirements are familiar provisions found in many of Allsteel’s public sector contracts. Allsteel monitors and maintains contract compliance with applicable federal and state regulations. Since Authorized Dealers perform or facilitate services on behalf of Allsteel, we flow down prevailing wage and Davis- Bacon Act contract requirements to our Authorized Dealers and require each to certify compliance with such provisions prior to receiving authorization to service Allsteel’s public sector contract. 2 2
Not to Exceed Pricing
Region 4 ESC requests pricing be submitted as not to exceed pricing. Unlike fixed pricing, the Contractor can adjust submitted pricing lower if needed but, cannot exceed original pricing submitted. Contractor must allow for lower pricing to be available for similar product and service purchases. Cost plus pricing as a primary structure is not acceptable.
2 3
Special Offers/Promotions
In addition to decreasing prices for the balance of the Contract term due to a change in market conditions, Contractor may conduct sales promotions involving price reductions for a specified lesser period. Contractor may offer Participating Agencies competitive pricing which is lower than the no-to-exceed price set forth herein at any time during the Contract term and such lower pricing shall not be applied as a global price reduction under the Contract.
2 4
Federal Funding Pricing
Due to products and services potentially being used in response to an emergency or disaster recovery situation in which federal funding may use, provide alternative pricing that does not include cost plus a percentage of cost or pricing based on time and materials; if time and materials is necessary, a ceiling price that the contract exceeds at its own risk will be needed. Products and services provided in a situation where an agency is eligible for federal funding, Offeror is subject to and must comply with all federal requirements applicable to the funding including, but not limited to the FEMA Special Conditions section located in the Federal Funds Certifications Exhibit.

What is Offeror's average Fill Rate?
For HNI, fill rate equates to lead time. Our Compass software allows dealers to create quick and accurate quotes that immediately provide them with estimated lead times. Should a product have extended lead times, our authorized dealer will work with the customer to provide alternative solutions rapidly. On average, our lead times range from 4-6 weeks, at times as fast as 3 weeks. Our promise to deliver durable, reliable products efficiently and quickly remains intact. Like most manufacturers, our business has been impacted by the market dynamics effecting demand, supply chain and logistics, and labor. HNI has developed and deployed a strategic response plan to address these dynamics and mitigate the impact to our valued clients. 3 0

Describe Offeror's history of meeting the shipping and delivery timelines.

We monitor Complete and On-time shipments and report results to leadership daily. We maintain a 97% complete shipment result and a 95% on-time performance metric for truckload deliveries.

This service provides our Customer Support teams with real-time updates and visibility to shipments across the country. Authorized dealers place orders using a specific contract number assigned to the OMNIA contract for ease and accuracy of capturing OMNIA associated sales volume to meet reporting requirements and deadlines.
3 1
Describe Offeror’s history of meeting the shipping and delivery timelines.

The Allsteel and HNI delivery model is unequaled for on-time delivery performance using a measurement called Complete and On-time (COT) to assess delivery performance. Our COT is tracked on a daily basis in all of our manufacturing facilities. The industry standard for on-time performance is to be measured in weekly increments however, this type of approach overlooks daily performance failures and disguises the true impact on the client.

We calculate COT by dividing units produced by units scheduled to get a daily score. Examples of these metrics are below: Measuring COT for Production: Units produced divided by units scheduled equals percent complete.

Distribution COT: Orders shipped divided by orders dispatched by hour equals percent COT. We monitor Complete and On-time shipments and report results to leadership daily. We maintain a 97% complete shipment result and a 95% on-time performance metric for truckload deliveries. 3 2

Describe any green or environmental initiatives or policies.

HNI’s corporate social responsibility mission drives us to respect people, reduce our impacts, and redefine tomorrow by fostering transparency and empowering our members to do and be better. ​ ​ In 2020, HNI developed our first carbon emission reduction targets that were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

These targets are in line with the GHG reductions required to meet the Paris Agreement goal of keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. HNI is working to reduce absolute combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 35% by 2025 from 2018 baseline and reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions 40% per ton of products sold by 2035 using innovative product life cycle assessments. Since 2020, HNI has sourced 100% renewable electricity for global operations. Since 2018, we reduced combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 64%. HNI joined RE100, a global corporate leadership initiative led by the Climate Group in partnership with CDP. As a member, HNI pledged to source 100% renewable electricity annually by 2030, which we met in 2020 and will continue to meet annually. We were recognized as one of the EPA Green Power Partnership’s National Top 100 green power users for our efforts.

Our goal is to cut our energy intensity by 50% by 2035. In our 2022 baseline energy audit, we discovered that our intensity has risen since 2018, and our total energy usage has declined. Absolute energy has decreased almost 8% from 2018.​ ​ By 2030, HNI aims to achieve zero waste to landfill for all facilities. We diverted over 70,000 tons of waste from the landfill in 2021 and 2022. The first step in reducing waste is completing waste-mapping exercises and developing solutions for hard-to-recycle materials such as particleboard, wood waste, and paint waste, among others. The majority of HNI waste (63%) is now recycled or diverted from the landfill. The solid waste produced in our facilities (37%) goes to the landfill. Since 2018, our total water consumption has decreased by 30%. ​ ​ We design products to be repairable by providing replaceable parts, and we educate our customers, dealers, and installers on ways to fix or retrofit products to make them last longer. Our products meet or exceed industry performance standards, which typically represent a 10-year lifespan. When our products do finally reach the end of their useful lives, we want to see component materials recycled locally and kept out of landfills. We provide environmental data sheets and disassembly diagrams to our customers, which detail the materials used in the products and provide guidance on which components can be recycled. As of 2022, we have 34 Environmental Product Declarations and plan to continue this work annually. By 2025, we are aiming to understand the chemical constituents down to 100 parts per million (ppm) for 100% of our materials by spend across the portfolio. As of 2022, we have analyzed 40% of our materials in HNI Workplace Furnishings by spend.​ ​ Our packaging is the first point of contact between customers and our products. HNI is focused on eliminating all non-recyclable packaging materials by 2025, including eliminating Styrofoam. As of the end of 2022, our HNI Workplace Furnishings division omitted nearly 3.2 million parts of EPS from product packaging and achieved over 46% reduction. Our product development teams continue to identify packaging solutions, and in the process, have found several types of non- recyclable foam beyond EPS that are used in our product packaging. In several cases, we have been able to replace the non-recyclable foam with recycled corrugated cardboard, and we are continuing to research alternative materials. This requires engineering design and testing to ensure uncompromised product delivery and quality.

We are confident that the model we propose will be both relevant and authentic based on service level capabilities, proven track record, and strong infrastructure to support this contract. It is our goal to seek true partnerships with diverse suppliers, distributors, and service providers that provide us the opportunity to deliver the best quality, value, and performance.​ ​ We have dealers with the Small Business, HubZone, SDVOB, MWBE certifications nationwide.

developed a large collection of architectural solutions, tools, and structures. This allows you to adjust
accordingly to new demands and adapt appropriately
to today’s ever-changing workplace needs.

Allsteel manufactures a full line of contract office furnishings, including seating, workspaces, tables, storage, architectural products, and accessories.

Allsteel Product Overview

Tables
What you place your work on and where you spend
your time working, eating, or taking a meeting should
not be overlooked. The Allsteel portfolio of tables
addresses the unique challenges of modern
workspaces, designed to tackle any problem, from a
lack of power sources to the desired flexibility of
table-height, and everything in between.

Accessories
We believe there is no detail too small, or too large,
that can be overlooked. For all the extras we need,
and the aesthetics we want, there is the expertly
curated Allsteel collection of accessories, so that no
detail is left untouched.

Allsteel’s Management &
Project Approach
TEAM
A successful project begins with a clear understanding
of your goals. Our dedicated Public Sector team
ensures that each member is educated and well -
versed in all aspects of the requirements of each
project. Allsteel has Public Sector dedicated BDM's in
place regionally that are supported by a dealer partner most closely aligned to the territory. Allsteel created this infrastructure to provide quick access to project,
product, and service information and allow us to
respond to all needs in the most judicious manner.

Allsteel offers and requires our dealers to participate in ongoing online training opportunities and instructor-led regional product and specification classes to ensure
adequate product knowledge.

COMMUNICATION
The most important task at this stage is to develop the communication pathway to ensure project success while
developing provisions for schedule deviations and risk.

Our dealer team supported by their local Allsteel BDM, will minimize risk by communicating lead times, ship dates,
and expectations on a regular basis to the project team.

Having standards in place for internal processes,
understanding the importance of detailed steps, and
measuring adherence to those details mitigate risk on
projects of all sizes. A detailed task list will be outlined in the customer Project Gantt Chart to highlight deliverables and key milestones. It will also create a project baseline for progress and performance reporting.

PROCESS

DESIGN PLANNING
This process involves developing a plan that allows our dealer partner to manage the project scope by defining and
controlling the project’s constituents. A cross-functional project team is established, initial roles/responsibilities are identified, and technical requirements are reviewed. Our trusted dealer partners will develop, enforce, and
maintain a strong Quality Control Plan alongside an
extensive network of certified Servicing Partners and
other qualified Allsteel dealer partners that provide
coverage to support our high standards for service and
delivery, regardless of geographic location.

Expert project management and consistent design are key to the success of complex interior projects. Each project goes through extensive assessment, which provides the
foundation for flawless execution. Our experienced designers follow a robust design process to include several accuracy checks and manage requests for changes that may be
outside the scope of the contract.

Allsteel has an internal Design Solutions team that works directly with our authorized dealers to assist in the creation of design packages that offer our end customers the best overall solution. Our design professionals provide the
following services: auditing and specification accuracy, value engineering, ergonomic options, 3-D drawings, complete
parts lists, product compatibility, CAD furniture plans, photo- realistic renderings to help with visualization, and furniture plan finishes.

Allsteel’s Management Approach is designed around six core elements of a project: Team, Process, Communication, Design Planning, Execution/Implementation, Close Out + Day 2 Service . Proven through many years and contracts, these core elements position Allsteel and our dealer partners for a successful execution of the contract and an efficient on - going support system. We place an enormous emphasis on our process and provide a rigorous, planned, and disciplined approach to ensure the success of all. Our goal is to implement an infrastructure that includes experience and knowledge, providing quick access to product and service information while responding to the needs of the OMNIA in the most timely and efficient manner. The Management Approach is based on a centralized administration which creates efficiencies related to design, order preparation, coordination, and delivery planning. 5 ALLSTEEL | Request Attachment #5 Value Add
EXECUTION + IMPLEMENTATION
The Execution and Implementation phase includes order
entry, production, delivery, installation, and preparation for closeout of the project.

During production, the Dealer Support team will process and complete any necessary access and security
documents and any other regulations. The dealer PM
will be on-site regularly to monitor project progress,
inspect the quality of furniture installation, and check third-party contractors’ work to ensure successful
integration of wiring and cabling.

Installation Manager and Project Managers will work
with the Allsteel logistics team on packaging efficiencies, site conditions, and optimal communication strategies
to ensure optimal delivery and receiving methods. All
deliveries will be coordinated through building
management to ensure no delays. Prior to delivery
and installation, the dealer PM will perform a walk
through with the agency representative to jointly note
the condition of the facility and areas that require
extra protection.

To reduce punch list items, Allsteel will provide a
project ‘care package’ once installation begins, at
no cost to the customer. This customized care
package includes extra parts, touch up material, or any other items particular to the punch list process. The
Project Manager and Installation crew will be conducting ongoing pre-punch walkthroughs and resolve any issues
utilizing the punch kit.

We believe that the strong quality assurance measures
incorporated into our process reduce overall project risk.

At Allsteel, customer satisfaction is measured through
a series of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These
metrics allow us to hold both ourselves and our dealer
partners accountable. We create monthly performance
matrices that benchmark our client’s expectations and
measure turn-around and lead time for every order,
service, or design request. This data is integrated into an overall scorecard to measure ongoing performance,
identify areas of improvement, and implement
corrective action.

CLOSE OUT + DAY 2
The close-out of the customer project is critical to
successful move-in and long-term tenant satisfaction.

Items completed during the closing process can include
but aren’t limited to:
• Conduct a formal punch walk-
through
• Schedule a final project close- out meeting to ensure completion of all project activities and contractual
obligations including post-project review
• Provide on-
site user training sessions during the first
five days of occupancy
• Submit the final close- out package that includes, but is not limited to, warranty, assembly instructions,
maintenance handbooks, and a complete set of
detailed as-built drawings with part numbers and
a key plan.

We believe that communication is a key component to a
successful project. The Allsteel and Dealer Support teams have years of experience with similar projects of this scope and complexity for both commercial and government
clients. We are fully prepared to manage concurrent
installations on multiple floors, multiple buildings, and multiple sites. Our overall driving vision and standard practices will provide a structure for the total project whilst allowing the flexibility to manage and address the unique complexities at each local level.

PFAS Removal from Standard Finish Offerings
HNI is proud to announce that we will be completely free of intentionally added PFAS in our standard textiles and finishes in July of 2024. We are actively working with our suppliers and partners to transition our finishes to PFAS free versions, so that we able to provide quality product without harsh chemical treatments.

Sustainability
• We are researching, developing, and testing the following sustainable materials. • Biobased foam that uses landfill diverted biomass from food processing wastes. • Recycled PET resin in powdered coated paint.
• Carbon negative materials made from Biochar and woody fiber plants. • Circular materials made from our products and wastes. 2024 DOE Better Projects
The Better Project Award acknowledges HNI's exceptional achievements in executing energy-efficient initiatives within its manufacturing operations, particularly concerning the optimization of paint booth ovens. Through the addition of air curtains designed by HNI, it was able to reduce oven energy demand by up to 30% per oven while also stabilizing oven temperatures. These improvements help increase efficiency, reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions, and provide a better working environment for members.

HNI Product Sustainability
At HNI, sustainability is more than just a manufacturing practice. We strive to design and build furniture that not only increases your team’s productivity, but also protects the natural environment. Our commitments—to lean manufacturing, environmentally conscious product development, responsible sourcing and distribution, and reduced emissions and material waste—drive our practices and reflect our beliefs.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE
OF REGION 4 ESC's OPEN RECORDS POLICY

OPEN RECORDS POLICY
All proposals, information and documents submitted are subject to the Public Information Act requirements governed by the State of Texas once a Contract(s) is executed. If an Offerer believes its response, or parts of its response, may be exempted from disclosure, the Offeror must specify page-by-page and line-by-line the parts of the response, which it believes, are exempt and include detailed reasons to substantiate the exemption. Price is not confidential and will not be withheld. Any unmarked information will be considered public information and released, if requested under the Public Information Act.

The determination of whether information is confidential and not subject to disclosure is the duty of the Office of Attorney General (OAG). Region 4 ESC must provide the OAG sufficient information to render an opinion and therefore, vague and general claims to confidentiality by the Offeror are not acceptable. Region 4 ESC must comply with the opinions of the OAG. Region 4 ESC assumes no responsibility for asserting legal arguments on behalf of any Offeror. Offeror is advised to consult with their legal counsel concerning disclosure issues resulting from this procurement process and to take precautions to safeguard trade secrets and other proprietary information.

Signature below certifies complete acceptance of Region 4 ESC's Open Records Policy, except as noted below (additional pages may be attached, if necessary).

Check one of the following responses to the Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Region 4 ESC's Open Records Policy below:

(Note: Offeror must specify page-by-page and line-by-line the parts of the response, which it believes, are exempt. In addition, Offeror must include detailed reasons to substantiate the exemption(s). Price is not confident and will not be withheld. All information believed to be a trade secret or proprietary must be listed.

Allsteel’s dedication to quality products is one of the ways we show our commitment to our customers.

fail under normal workplace use because of defective

WOOD FU

RNITURE
Wood owes its inherent beauty to
variations in color, grain, and tex -
ture, and therefore, these variations
are not considered defects. There
may be minor variations from one
piece of furniture to the next even
though they are finished at the same
time. Exposure to light and the
aging process will cause a darken -
ing of natural wood products. Light
finishes on wood products do not
mask the natural characteristics of
wood. The Gunlocke Company does
not guarantee the exact matching of
grain, pattern, and color.

These finishes do not cover any of
the natural characteristics of the
wood, including nature’s colorations,
pitch pockets, and the variations of
steambent wood. Merchandise will
not be replaced because of these
natural variations.

in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for award. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1); See also Standard Form 424D, ¶ 7; Standard Form 424B, ¶ 3. i. FEMA considers a “financial interest” to be the potential for gain or loss to the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate f
amily, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties as a result of the particular procurement. The prohibited financial interest may arise from ownership of certain financial instruments or investments such as stock, bonds, or real estate, or from a salary, in
debtedness, job offer, or similar interest that might be affected by the particular procurement. ii. FEMA considers an “apparent” conflict of interest to exist where an actual conflict does not ex ist, but where a reas
onable person with knowledge of the relevant facts would question the impartiality of the employee, o
fficer, or agent participating in the procurement. c . Gifts. The officers, employees, and agents of the Partici
pating Public Agency nor the Participating Public Agency (“NFE”) must neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. However, NFE’s
may set standards for situations in which the financial interest is de minimus, not substantial, or t
he gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). d. Violations. The NFE’s written standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or agents of the NFE. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). For example, the penalty for a NFE’s
employee may be dismissal, and the penalty for a contractor might be the termination of the contract.

Contractor Integrity
A contractor must have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics. Contractors that are d
ebarred or suspended, as described in and subject to the debarment and sus pension regulations im
plementing Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension (1986) and Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension (1989) at 2 C.F.R. Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security’s re
gulations at 2 C.F.R. Part 3000 (Non-pr ocurement Debarment and Suspension), must be rejected and cannot receive contract awards at any level.

1. CONTRACT REMEDIES
Contracts for more than the federal simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), the dollar amount below which an NFE may purchase property or services using small purchase methods, currently set at $250,000 for procurements made on or after June 20, 2018,4 mus t address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms and must provide for sanctions and penalties as appropriate.

1.1 A
pplicability
This contract provision is required for contracts over the SAT, currently set at $250,000 for procurements made on or after June 20, 2018. Although not required for contracts at or below the SAT, FEMA suggests including a remedies provision.

1.2 A
dditional Considerations
For FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, recipients must include a penalty clause in all contracts for any AFG -funded vehicle, regardless of dollar amount. In that situation, the contract must include a clause addressing that non- delivery by the contract’s specified date or other vendor nonperformance will require a penalty of no less than $100 per day until such time that the vehicle, compliant with the terms of the contract, has been accepted by the recipient. This penalty clause should, however, account for force majeure or acts of God. AFG recipients should refer to the applicable year’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for additional information, which can be accessed at FEMA.gov.

2. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE AND CONVENIENCE
a. Standard. All contracts in excess of $10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by the non-Federal entity, including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(B). b. Applicability . This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs.

9. DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION
a. Standard. Non -Federal entities and contractors are subject to the debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension (1986) and Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension (1989) at 2 C.F.R. Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security’s regulations at 2 C.F.R. Part 3000 (Non-procurement Debarment and Suspension).
b. Applicability . This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs.
c. Requirements.
i. These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs and activities. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(H); and 2 C.F.R. § 200.213. A contract award must not be made to parties listed in the SAM Exclusions. SAM Exclusions is the list maintained by the General Services Administration that contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive Order 12549.

SAM exclusions can be accessed at www.sam.gov . S
ee 2 C.F.R. § 180.530.
ii. In general, an “excluded” party cannot receive a Federal grant award or a contract within the meaning of a “covered transaction,” to include subawards and subcontracts. This includes parties that receive Federal funding indirectly, such as contractors to recipients and subrecipients. The key to the exclusion is whether there is a “covered transaction,” which is any non- procurement transaction (unless excepted) at either a “primary” or “secondary” tier. Although “covered transactions” do not include contracts awarded by the Federal Government for purposes of the non- procurement common rule and DHS’s implementing regulations, it does include some contracts awarded by recipients and subrecipients.
iii. Specifically, a covered transaction includes the following contracts for goods or services:

1. The contract is awarded by a recipient or subrecipient in the amount of at least $25,000.

2. The contract requires the approval of FEMA, regardless of amount.

3. The contract is for federally -required audit services.

4. A subcontract is also a covered transaction if it is awarded by the contractor of a recipient or subrecipient and requires either the approval of FEMA or is in excess of $25,000.
d. Suggested Language. The following provides a debarment and suspension clause. It incorporates an optional method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified.

Version March 19, 2024

2022 HNI Corporate Social Responsibility Report
2 In 2022, HNI celebrated 75 years
of creating products that encourage
collaboration and productivity in
the workplace and warm memories
at home. Since our founding,
we are proud to have continually
built a great place to work for
our members.

Looking forward to our next 75
years, and beyond, we continue to
build on our strong foundation and
launch new initiatives to lead HNI
into the future.

These initiatives are based on our
belief that tomorrow must be more
inclusive, safer, and more sustainable
than yesterday to meet the pressing
challenges ahead. We anchor this work
in our corporate social responsibility
(CSR) strategy called CORE: Conscious
Operations and Responsible
Environments. CORE is HNI’s
blueprint for the future to promote
respect and a place for all members,
reduction of our environmental and
climate impacts, and creation of
more sustainable products.

Company holds first
annual recognition
dinner to honor
members with 5+
years of service.

CORE integrates our belief in
respecting people and supporting
our communities, and it promotes
HNI Belong. HNI Belong focuses
on increasing diversity throughout
the company, including growing the
number of women and ethnically
diverse members serving at manager
level and above.

To demonstrate our commitment to
CORE, in 2021, we began aligning
executive compensation with our
diversity goals, and in 2022, we began
aligning executive compensation with
our sustainability goals. In this way,
we are strengthening and motivating
our entire organization toward
achieving the CSR goals outlined
in this report.

We understand the call to innovate
and think about our resources in
new ways. This year, across all HNI
brands and departments, we found
ways to further reduce energy
consumption, emissions, and waste.

We are embracing sustainability
as part of our company culture
and as an important consideration
in all of our decisions.

Reducing ImpactsRespecting PeopleGoals & Progress Redefining Tomorrow AppendixLeadership About HNI As part of this work, we have
aligned our emissions targets to
the Science Based Targets initiative
(SBTi) in an effort to reduce global
warming and limit the impact of
climate change.

As we build the elements of
CORE into our culture, we are
providing an opportunity for all of
our members to get even more
involved and empowered to help
create positive change—being more
inclusive; becoming better stewards
of our resources; and building
stronger, healthier communities.

As you will learn in the following
pages, HNI is gaining momentum
and making important strides toward
our corporate CSR goals. As we
continue to grow our family of
brands with the addition of Kimball
International, we collectively
are committed to the long-term
success of HNI, which includes
our commitment to the objectives
outlined in this report. Please join
us on our journey.
