The issuance of information, advice, approvals, or instructions by buyer's technical personnel or other representatives shall be deemed expressions or personal opinions only and shall not affect buyer's and seller's rights and obligations hereunder unless the same is in writing, is signed by buyer's subcontracts representative, and which expressly states that it constitutes an amendment or change to this agreement. Seller shall, at the request of buyer, accept amendments to this agreement to incorporate additional articles and provisions herein or to change articles and provisions hereof, as buyer may reasonably deem necessary in order to comply with the clauses and provisions of the applicable prime contract or with the clauses and provisions of amendments to such prime contract.
In addition, any changes to the general scope of this Agreement shall be in accordance with FAR 52.243-3 Changes – Time & Material/LH, except that: a) as used in this clause Contractor shall be defined as Seller and Contracting Officer shall be defined as Buyer’s Subcontracts Representative; and b) Seller shall assert its right to an adjustment under this clause within TWENTY (20) days from the date of receipt of the written order. Failure to agree to any adjustment will be a dispute under the Disputes clause of this Agreement, provided, however, that nothing in this clause excuses the Seller from proceeding with the work as changed without interruption and without awaiting settlement of any such dispute.
Item 27 - LOWER TIER SUBCONTRACTING
The Seller is prohibited from lower-tier subcontracting without the prior written approval of the Buyer’s Subcontracts Representative.
If an approved lower tier supplier will be utilized in support of this agreement and a Small Business Subcontracting Plan is required under FAR 52.219-9, the Seller shall submit Individual Subcontract Reports (ISRs) semi-annually using the Government web-based Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS) at http://www.esrs.gov.

b) | Inventions and Patents. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all inventions conceived, developed, or first reduced to practice by, for, or with Seller in the course of any work that is performed under this Agreement and any patents resulting from such inventions (both domestic and foreign) shall be the property of Buyer. Seller will (1) promptly disclose all such inventions to Buyer in written detail and (2) execute all papers, cooperate with Buyer, and perform all acts necessary and appropriate in connection with the filing, prosecution, maintenance, or assignment of related patents or patent applications on behalf of Buyer. |
c) | Preexisting Works of Authorship and Copyright. Unless superseded by an attached Seller Software License Agreement agreed to in writing by both Buyer and Seller, Seller grants to Buyer, and to Buyer’s subcontractors, suppliers, and customers in connection with goods or work being performed by Buyer, a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, paid-up, worldwide license in Seller’s copyrights to reproduce, distribute copies of, perform publicly, display publicly, and make derivative works from software included in or provided with or for goods (software) and related information and materials (software documentation) and that is owned or controlled by Seller at any time before or during the term of this Agreement, but only to the extent that such copyrights would otherwise interfere with Buyer’s or Buyer’s subcontractors’, suppliers’, or customers’ use or enjoyment of goods or the work products, inventions, or works of authorship belonging to Buyer and resulting from this Agreement. |
d) | Works of Authorship and Copyrights. All works of authorship (including, but not limited to, documents, data, drawings, software, software documentation, photographs, video tapes, sound recordings, and images) created by, for, or with Seller in the course of any work performed under this Agreement, together with all copyrights subsisting therein, shall be the sole proprietary property of Buyer. To the extent permitted under United States copyright law, all such works will be works made for hire, with the copyrights therein vesting in Buyer. The copyrights in all other such works, including all of the exclusive rights therein, will be promptly transferred and formally assigned free of any additional charges to Buyer. |
Item 29 - PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND DATA OF BUYER/SELLER
In order for proprietary information to be protected as such in accordance with the Agreement, it must be:
a. | In writing; |
b. | Clearly identified as proprietary information on each page thereof and marked with the following legend: "Proprietary Information of (furnishing party)" or equivalent; and |
c. | Delivered to the individual designated as provided herein. |
Each party agrees not to disclose such proprietary information to unauthorized parties. Neither party shall be liable; however, for the inadvertent or accidental disclosure of such information, marked as proprietary information as provided above, if such disclosure occurs despite the exercise of the same degree of care as such party normally takes to preserve and safeguard its own proprietary information. The receiving party shall not use proprietary information of the other for any purpose other than as is required for the performance of this Agreement. The receiving party assumes no responsibility for release of proprietary information by the U.S. Government to the general public pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, as amended, or any other similar statute or regulation.
The parties designated in the Article entitled REPRESENTATIVES AND COMMUNICATION, are the only persons authorized to receive proprietary information exchanged between the parties pursuant to this Agreement.
The obligation of the parties with respect to handling and using proprietary information is not applicable to the following information:
a. | is in the public domain without any breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; |
b. | is generally known by others in the industry on a non-confidential basis, through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party; |

e. | is or has been furnished by the disclosing party to the Government with "unlimited rights"; |
f. | is or becomes available to a party by inspection or analysis of products offered for sale or, |

The obligations of the parties under this provision shall terminate five (5) years from the date of expiration of this Agreement and shall survive the expiration and termination of portions of this Agreement.
Except as required in the performance of this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor the furnishing of any information hereunder by Buyer shall grant the Seller, by implication or otherwise, any license under any invention, patent, trademark or copyright.
If no such proprietary information or data is identified, it will be assumed that all deliverable information and data is furnished with unlimited rights.
Proprietary Data of Third Parties: In the event the Seller requests access to the proprietary data of third parties, in order to conduct studies and research under the Agreement, it will enter into Non-Disclosure Agreements with the supplying parties to protect such data from unauthorized use or disclosure so long as such data remains proprietary. These Non-Disclosure Agreements shall be made available to the Government upon request of the Contracting Officer.
Proprietary Data Furnished by the Government: In the event the Seller is given access by the Government to proprietary data of the Government or proprietary data of third parties in the possession of the Government, the Seller hereby agrees to protect such data from unauthorized use or disclosure as long as such data remains proprietary.
Item 30 - ASSIGNMENT
Seller shall not assign or in any manner transfer its interests, or any part thereof, in this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer. Any such purported assignment, delegation, or subcontracting by Seller without such consent shall be void. Buyer may assign this Agreement to (i) any affiliated company, (ii) any successor in interest, or (iii) Buyer’s customer.
Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of any Seller name or ownership changes, or mergers or acquisitions. Seller shall not change the place of performance under this Agreement without prior written consent of Buyer’s Subcontracts Representative.
Changes in the Seller’s relationships due to mergers, consolidations or any unanticipated circumstances may create an organizational conflict of interest which may necessitate such disclosure in accordance with the Conflict of Interest Article of this Agreement.
Item 31 - COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
The Seller agrees to comply with and warrants that the goods to be furnished and the services to be rendered under this Agreement shall be manufactured, sold, used and rendered in compliance with, all applicable Federal, State, and Local laws, regulations, rules, and orders including, but not limited to: (i) Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act; (ii) the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; (iii) state equal employment opportunities laws; (iv) the Occupational Safety and Health Act and state safety laws; (v) the Fair Labor Standards Act, regulations thereunder, and state wage-hour laws; (vi) the Service Contract Act; (vii) federal and state affirmative action requirements (including any applicable Executive Orders); (viii) federal and state tax laws, and with the regulations and standards issued pursuant thereto; (ix) the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78 et seq.

Seller, at its own expense, shall comply with such laws, and assume all obligations imposed by any one or more of such laws with respect to this Agreement.
Seller acknowledges and agrees that failure to comply with Federal, State, and Local laws is a material breach of this contract. Accordingly, Seller agrees that, should employee(s) of Seller or any of its lower tier subcontractors, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, or any other Federal, State, or Local agency seek to collect from Buyer any back wages, back taxes, penalties, interest, or any other damages resulting from Seller’s violation of a Federal, State or Local law, Buyer may withhold contract payments due to Seller in an amount equal to the demanded back wages, back taxes, penalties, interest, or any other damages sought by employee(s) of Seller or any of its lower tier subcontractors, Federal, State, or Local agency. Such moneys will be held in an escrow account until a final determination regarding amounts due is made by a court or the Federal, State, or Local agency.
Item 32 - REMEDIES AND NON-WAIVER
Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies of both Parties hereunder shall be in addition to their rights and remedies at law or in equity. The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms and conditions in the Agreement, or to exercise any rights or remedies, shall not be construed as a waiver of its rights to assert any of the same or to rely on any such terms or conditions at any time thereafter. The invalidity in whole or in part of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of other parts hereof. Buyer shall be entitled at all times to set off any amount owing at any time from Seller to Buyer, against any amount payable at any time by Buyer to Seller.
Item 33 - LITIGATION AND CLAIMS
In the event of any dispute or claim arising under the Prime Contract, or this Agreement implicating the Seller’s performance or involving any matter arising therefrom, the Seller at its own cost shall cooperate in good faith, on a reasonable basis with the Buyer in connection with any such dispute or claim, including, without limitation, the conduct or defense of any litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution procedure associated therewith. This duty of cooperation shall include, without limitation, making witnesses, documents and information available during discovery and/or litigation. In the event of the occurrence of either of the above, the Seller shall immediately furnish to Buyer copies of all pertinent papers and documents received by the Seller with respect to such action or claim.
Item 34 - DISPUTES
Disputes under this Agreement shall be referred to each party’s designated executive management for resolution within thirty (30) calendar days before either party may commence formal proceedings. When seeking to resolve a dispute, the parties’ designated executive management shall consider the impact of the disputed matter, the effect of the dispute and Buyer’s success as the Prime Contractor, the cost to both parties of resolving the dispute and the practical effects on the business of each party resulting from the resolution or failure to resolve any such dispute.
In the event the designated executives are unable to resolve a dispute within thirty (30) calendar days of written notification or longer, if extended by the mutual agreement of both parties, either party may then submit the matter for formal proceedings as indicated below.
Any dispute (other than one concerning the allocability of costs by the U.S. Government) under this Agreement shall be litigated in the Federal courts of the United States or the Courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding. The parties (a) irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to venue of any suit, action, or proceeding in such courts; (b) irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (c) irrevocably and unconditionally waive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal action, proceeding, cause of action or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
Irrespective of the place of performance and/or delivery of goods, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Pending resolution or settlement of any dispute arising under this Agreement, Seller will proceed diligently as directed by Buyer with the performance of this Agreement.
The rights and obligations set forth in this Article shall survive completion and final payment under this Agreement.
Item 35 - SUBCONTRACT CLOSEOUT PROCEDURES
Seller shall submit the Closeout Package, which can be found as an attachment to this Agreement, within thirty (30) days after the end of the period of performance, or the Termination for Convenience of this Agreement.

Seller shall submit a FINAL invoice bearing the statement, “FINAL INVOICE.” Buyer may unilaterally close-out this Agreement if the Seller fails to submit the close-out documentation within the specified time period.
Item 36 - EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
Seller shall abide by the requirements of 41 CFR 60-1.4(a), 60-300.5(a) and 60-741.5(a). These regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Moreover, these regulations require that covered prime contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status or disability.
Item 37 - SELLER PERSONNEL
Seller shall provide a sufficient number of personnel possessing the skills, knowledge, ability and training to satisfactorily perform the services required by this Agreement and the SOW. Seller personnel shall meet the minimum education and/or experience requirements for each specific service area as stated in the SOW and any position description qualifications identified as an attachment to this Agreement.
During the course of the effort, positions that must be backfilled will be accomplished as follows:
a) | In the event an incumbent employee of the Seller is to be replaced, the Seller shall provide written notification to Buyer no later than fourteen (14) calendar days before the incumbent employee’s last scheduled workday. |
b) | In the case of resignation, termination, or other unexpected departure of incumbent Seller personnel, Seller shall provide written notification to Buyer’s Technical and Subcontracts Representatives within 48 hours of knowledge of the resignation, termination or other unexpected departure. |
c) | Seller will have the first opportunity to replace its personnel with a suitable replacement. Suitability includes personnel with at least substantially equal technical capabilities as was originally proposed for the individual, qualifications, security clearance requirements, cost, timeliness of availability, and acceptance by Buyer and the Government. |
d) | In the event that the performance of assigned Seller personnel or any substitute(s) is determined by Buyer and/or Government to be unsatisfactory at any time during the life of this Agreement, Buyer reserves the right to request and receive satisfactory personnel replacement within fourteen (14) calendar days of written notification to the Seller by Buyer’s Subcontracts Representative. Replacement personnel must have equal technical capabilities as was originally proposed for the individual, qualifications, security clearance requirements, cost, timeliness of availability, and acceptance by Buyer and the Government. Resumes shall be submitted to Buyer’s Technical Representative for approval. |
The above procedures may be superseded by contract critical support requirements or other terms of the Prime Contract, such as meeting socioeconomic goals required to be achieved by the Buyer.
In order to meet Prime Contract requirements, Buyer reserves the right to fill any positions that remain open longer than fourteen (14) calendar days. Seller will have the first opportunity to replace its personnel with a suitable replacement between resignation and the fourteen day limit. Seller will coordinate with Buyer’s Technical Representative for consideration when an issue arises that will prevent Seller from meeting the requirement that is of no fault of theirs; i.e., Delays in the selection process by the Government.
If any of the Seller’s personnel are designated as key personnel in the Agreement, the terms and conditions that provide for key personnel will take precedence over this Article.
Item 38 - KEY PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS
The Seller’s key technical, management and administrative personnel listed below are considered to be essential to the work performed under this Agreement:
Labor Category | Named Individual | |
Seller agrees that such personnel shall not be removed or replaced, or a reduction made to their commitment without first meeting the requirements of this Article and only after an approved transition strategy has been agreed to with Buyer’s Technical Representative.
All requests for approval of substitution hereunder must be in writing and provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitution(s). Requests must contain a complete resume for the proposed substitute, and any other information reasonably requested by Buyer.
It is essential that the key personnel specified in the Seller’s proposal for this order be available on the effective date of this Agreement. If these personnel are not made available at that time, Buyer reserves the right to Terminate for Default in whole or in part.
Item 39 - NON-SOLICITATION OF PERSONNEL
Seller shall not directly or indirectly solicit, endeavor to hire, hire, consult, or otherwise contract with any employee(s) of the Buyer who are associated with the efforts and performance of this Agreement hereunder (and any extensions or modifications) for the duration of the Agreement AND for a period of one (1) year after the conclusion thereof. In the event this Article is breached, Buyer shall have the right to seek an injunction or any other remedy available by law. Any legal expenses involved with the enforcement of this provision shall be paid by the Seller to the Buyer. Direct solicitation does not include advertisements published in the general media, except to the extent that an individual was specifically encouraged to respond to such advertisements. Nothing in this Article restricts an individual employee’s right to seek employment with Seller to perform work unrelated to this Agreement hereunder (and any extensions or modifications thereto).
Item 40 - SERVICE CONTRACT LABOR STANDARDS RESPONSIBILITY
If this Agreement is subject to the Service Contract Labor Standards, the Seller agrees to abide by the terms and conditions of the Service Contract Labor Standards, including the applicable Department of Labor Wage Determination(s) if included as an attachment hereto. It is hereby agreed that the Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any additional sums for which Seller becomes liable to its employee(s) which is a result of a failure by Seller to properly conform its employees to the labor classifications stated in the Wage Determinations.
The Service Contract Labor Standards Directory of Occupations and Wage Determinations can be found on the Internet at http://www.wdol.gov/index.html.
Item 41 - EMPLOYMENT OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PERSONNEL RESTRICTED
In performing this Agreement, the Seller shall not use as a consultant or employ (on either a full-time or part-time basis), any active duty Federal Government personnel (civilian or military) without the prior written approval of Buyer’s Subcontracts Representative and the Buyer’s Government Contracting Officer. Such approval may be given only in those circumstances where it is clear that no laws or Federal Government instructions, regulations, or policies might be contravened and no conflict or appearance of a conflict of interest will result.
Item 42 - FOREIGN SOURCES
In the event that the Seller anticipates soliciting foreign source(s) for any work under this Agreement which may require access to any equipment/technical data which is controlled by either the Arms Export Control Act or the Export Administration Act of 1979 (as amended), the Seller shall notify Buyer's Subcontracts Representative no less than fifteen (15) business days before either applying for an export license under ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulation), 22 CFR 121-128, or before solicitation of the foreign source(s), whichever shall occur first. This notification shall include a detailed description of the data/equipment to be exported and a copy of the application for an export license, if such application has been made. This notification to Buyer shall not be construed as an application for an export license, nor shall it in any way be interpreted to impede the Seller's right to apply for an export license. However, if the Government agency to whom Seller submits such application disapproves the Seller's application, the Seller will so notify the Buyer.
Item 43 - FOREIGN NATIONALS
For purposes of this Article, foreign nationals are all persons not citizens of, or immigrant aliens to, the United States. Nothing in this Article is intended to waive or modify any statutory requirement or any requirement imposed by any other U.S. Government agency with respect to employment of foreign nationals or export control. The Seller acknowledges that equipment/technical data generated or delivered in performance of this Agreement may be controlled by the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) 22 CFR 121-128, and may require an export license before assigning any foreign national to perform work under this Agreement or before granting access to foreign nationals to any equipment/technical data generated or delivered in performance of this Agreement (See 22 CFR 125.03 in this regard). The Seller agrees to request approval from Buyer's Subcontracts Representative, and obtain approval in writing, prior to assigning or granting access to a foreign national to any work, equipment or technical data generated or delivered in performance of this Agreement, which is controlled by either the Arms Export Control Act or the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended. This notification will include the name and country of origin of the foreign national, the specific work, equipment or data to which the person will have access, and whether the foreign national is cleared to have access to technical data (Reference: Section 3 of DOD 5220.22-M, "Industrial Security Manual for Safeguarding Classified Information").
The Seller also agrees that, in addition to the procedures established by ITAR, the following legend shall be placed on all technical data generated or delivered in performance of this Agreement which is controlled by either the Arms Export Control Act or the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended:
WARNING
This document contains technical data whose export is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S.C., Sec 2751, et seq.) or the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, Title 50, U.S.C., App. 2401, et seq. Violations of these export laws are subject to severe criminal penalties. Disseminate in accordance with the provisions of AFR 80-34.
The above requirements shall not be construed as an application for an export license nor shall they in any way be interpreted to impede the Seller's right to apply for an export license. However, if the Government agency to whom Seller submits such application disapproves the Seller's application, the Seller will so notify the Buyer.
Item 44 - CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The Seller warrants that, to the best of the Seller's knowledge and belief, there are no relevant facts or circumstances which could give rise to an organizational conflict of interest (OCI) as defined in FAR 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest, and that the Seller has disclosed all such relevant information.
The Seller agrees that if an actual or potential OCI is discovered after award, the Seller shall make a full disclosure in writing to the Buyer’s Subcontracts Representative. This disclosure shall include a description of actions which the Seller has taken or proposes to take, after consultation with the Buyer’s Subcontracts Representative, to avoid, mitigate, or neutralize the actual or potential conflict.
The Buyer’s Subcontracts Representative, at its sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement for convenience, in whole or in part, if it deems such termination necessary to avoid an OCI. If the Seller was aware of a potential OCI prior to award, or discovered an actual or potential conflict after award, and did not disclose or misrepresented relevant information to the Buyer’s Subcontracts Representative, the Buyer may terminate the Agreement for default, or pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law, regulation (including the FAR and its supplements) or this Agreement.
The Seller shall include this provision, including this paragraph, in subcontracts of any tier which involve access to information covered by this provision.
Item 45 - PERSONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Seller agrees and certifies that it shall not provide either its own personnel or subcontract personnel (“personnel”), for performance under this Agreement that have a personal conflict of interest. “Personal Conflict of Interest” is defined as a situation in which personnel has a financial interest, personal activity, or relationship that could impair the personnel’s ability to act impartially and in the best interest of the Buyer or the Government when performing under the Prime Contract and this Agreement.
Personal conflicts of interest may arise, but not necessarily be limited to, performance under this Agreement involving acquisition functions closely associated with inherently governmental functions. The Seller is responsible for ensuring that (1) personnel are not placed for work under this Agreement that have a personal conflict of interest (2) personnel who are working under this Agreement in which a personal conflict of interest is discovered report such instance to the Buyer and (3) comply with the requirements of FAR 52.203-16.
Failure to comply with this requirement may result, at Buyer’s sole discretion, in the Seller being terminated in accordance with the Termination Articles of this Agreement.
Item 46 - ANTI-CORRUPTION AND ANTI-KICKBACK REGULATIONS
Seller acknowledges that its actions may subject it and Buyer to liability under the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78 et seq. (the “FCPA”), the UK Bribery Act 2010, the anti-corruption laws, regulations, and policies of the home country of any supplier to this Agreement, the United States of America, and/or the anti-corruption laws, regulations, and policies of any other country with jurisdiction over the activities performed pursuant to this Agreement (together and individually hereinafter referred to as the “Anti-Corruption Requirements”).

4. | None of Seller’s principals, consultants, subcontractors, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, or agents is a Government Official, Customer Personnel, or Restricted Person unless approved by Buyer. Neither Seller nor any of its principals, consultants, subcontractors, shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents has performed or will perform any act which Buyer could reasonably believe would constitute a violation of the Anti-Corruption Requirements or which Buyer could reasonably believe would cause Buyer to be in violation of the Anti-Corruption Requirements, or present a credible risk, as determined by Buyer, of a violation of the Anti-Corruption Requirements. |
5. | If at any time Seller becomes aware of information or circumstances that suggest any of the representations, warranties, and covenants referenced in this Section may not be accurate, it shall notify Buyer immediately in writing, but not more than seven (7) days after becoming aware of such circumstances. |
6. | No Government Official, Customer Personnel, or Restricted Person has a right to share directly or indirectly in any compensation payable under this Agreement.

Anti-Kickback Act of 1986. Seller warrants that it and its officers, employees or representatives (i) have complied with the Anti-Kickback Act of 1986 and has not offered or given and will not offer or give to any employee, agent, or representative of Buyer any gratuity or any kickback within the meaning of the Anti-Kickback Act of 1986 and (ii) have not, for the purpose of improperly obtaining or rewarding favorable treatment in connection with the award of this Agreement to Seller from Buyer: (1) provided, attempted to provide, or offered to provide any kickback; (2) solicited, accepted, or attempted to accept any kickback; or (3) included, directly or indirectly, the amount of any kickback prohibited by (1) or (2) of this Section in the price charged by Seller to Buyer under this Agreement.

During the life of this Agreement, the Seller's personnel may have access to Buyer and/or Government facilities. During all operations on Buyer and Government premises, the Seller's personnel shall comply with the rules and regulations governing the conduct of personnel and the operation of the facility and shall adhere to professional and ethical standards of conduct required by Buyer and its customer.

It is understood that any personnel assigned by the Seller to the performance of the work hereunder, if in conflict with the best interests of the Buyer and/or Government or for reasons of misconduct or security, shall be immediately removed from the assigned position. Such removal from the workplace or dismissal from the area of responsibility shall not relieve the Seller of the requirement to provide sufficient personnel to perform the services required under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the Buyer may elect to direct the retention of an individual on a task until a replacement has been approved, or reported, or until a transition has occurred.
Employment and staffing difficulties shall not be justification for failure to meet established schedules, and if such difficulties impair performance, the Seller may be subject to default.

Any agency-specific enhanced cybersecurity requirements included or incorporated in Buyer’s Prime Contract by its Customer shall be incorporated into this Agreement. To the extent that the U.S. Department of Defense imposes additional or revised cybersecurity requirements during the course of performance that implicate Seller’s statement of work, Seller and Buyer agree to amend this Agreement to incorporate the requirements. If Seller is not compliant with the full scope of any agency-specific enhanced security requirements incorporated into this Agreement, Seller shall notify Buyer immediately.
The Seller shall flow down and include the substance of this clause in all second-tier subcontracts under this subcontract (if allowed in accordance with the Article entitled LOWER TIER SUBCONTRACTING), if the Seller’s subcontractor will have access to or generate Controlled Unclassified Information. The Seller shall assess lower tier supplier compliance in accordance with the DFARS ###-###-####.

Task Order Subcontractors IT Security Guidelines, if applicable
The Contractor and its Subcontractors, if any, shall expressly insert the substance of this Master Contract for their agency-specific IT security guidelines into all GWAC Task Order Subcontractor agreements/contracts who are providing any IT goods or services, including all levels of Subcontractor tiers.
SECURITY: SECURITY CLEARANCES
The Master contract’s pre-established labor categories and associated Maximum Rates cover work at the classified Secret level.
Individual Task Orders may require higher level security clearances. Only those Offerors that meet the required security clearance levels on individual Orders shall be able to compete for Task Orders requiring security clearance(s). When classified work is required on an individual Task Order, the Contract Security Classification Specification, (DD Form 254 or agency equivalent) will be issued to the Contractor by the requiring agency.
The Contractor is responsible for providing personnel with appropriate security clearances to ensure compliance with Government security regulations, as specified on individual Orders. The Contractor shall fully cooperate on all security checks and investigations by furnishing requested information to verify the Contractor employee's trustworthiness and suitability for the position. Clearances may require Special Background Investigations (SBI), Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) access or Special Access Programs (SAP), or agency-specific access, such as a Q clearance or clearance for restricted data.

The Contractor shall comply with agency personal identity verification procedures identified in individual Orders that implement Homeland Security Presidential Directives-12 (HSPD-12); OMB guidance M-05-24; Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB) number 201; and GSA HSPD- 12, Personal Identity Verification- I, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The Master Contract’s pre-established labor
CONTRACTOR TRAINING
The Contractor is generally expected to maintain the professional qualifications and certifications of its personnel through ongoing training. Unless specifically authorized in an individual Order, the Contractor shall not directly bill the Government for any training.
Mandatory Training

• | All contractor employees having access to the GSA government designated system shall review and understand the various online government designated system video tutorials contained in the government designated system’s Training Module at a website noted in Attachment J-8. |
GOVERNMENT PROPERTY
Any equipment, property, or facilities furnished by the Government or any Contractor-acquired property must be specified on individual Orders and follow the policies and procedures of FAR Part 45, Government Property, for providing Government property to Contractors, Contractors’ use and management of Government property, and reporting, redistributing, and disposing of Contractor inventory.
LEASING OF REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
The Government contemplates that leases may be part of a solution offered by a Contractor, but the Government, where the Offeror’s solution includes leasing, will not be the Lessee. Under no circumstances on any Task Order issued under this Master Contract shall:
(a) The Government be deemed to have privity-of-contract with the owner/lessor of the leased items; or
(b) The Government be held liable for early termination/cancellation damages if the Government decides not to exercise an Option period under an Order unless the Contractor has specifically disclosed the amount of such damages (or the formula by which such damages would be calculated) as part of its proposal and the OCO for the Order has specifically approved/allowed such damages as part of the Award. The Master Contract strictly prohibits the use of lease-like payment arrangements, which purport to permit the Government to receive delivery of items and then pay for the full cost of the items over time, even if such arrangements are not technically a lease transaction because the Government is not the lessee.
ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACCESSIBILITY
Pursuant to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d), as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, all electronic and information technology (EIT) products and services developed, acquired, maintained, or used under Task Orders issued against the contract must comply with the "Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Provisions" set forth by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (also referred to as the "Access Board") in 36 CFR part 1194.
The offeror must reference the Section 508 technical standards below as a resource for meeting compliance of deliverables:
1194.21 Software applications and operating systems
1194.22 Web-based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications
1194.23 Telecommunications Products
1194.24 Video and multimedia products
1194.25 Self-contained, closed products
1194.26 Desktop and portable computers
1194.31 Functional Performance Criteria
1194.41 Information, Documentation and Support
The Offeror must comply with all required Federal or agency standards, including providing a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VAT) or Government Product and Services Accessibility Template (GPAT), as specified in the scope of work for each Task Order. OCOs have the option to perform testing and validation of EIT deliverables against any conformance claim and may include Section 508 compliance as an evaluation factor within a Task Order. Information about Section 508 provisions and complete text is available on the GSA Government- wide Section508 Accessibility Program website. (See Attachment J.8 Website References).
INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 6 (IPV6)
The Master Contract involves the acquisition of Information Technology (IT) that uses Internet Protocol (IP) technology. The Contractor agrees that: (1) all deliverables that involve IT that uses IP (products, services, software, etc.) comply with IPv6 Standards and interoperate with both IPv6 and IPv4 systems and products; and (2) it has IPv6 technical support for fielded product management, development, and implementation available. If the Contractor plans to offer a deliverable that involves IT that is not initially compliant, the Contractor shall (1) obtain the Task Order Ordering Contracting Officer's (OCO’s) approval before starting work on the deliverable; and (2) have IPv6 technical support for fielded product management, development and implementation available. Should the Contractor find that the Statement of Work (SOW) or specifications of this contract do not conform to IPv6 standards, it must notify the Task Order OCO of such nonconformance and act in accordance with the instructions of the OCO.
COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE AGREEMENTS
The Government understands that commercial software tools will be purchased in furtherance of this GWAC and subsequent orders, and may be subject to commercial agreements which may take a variety of forms, including without limitation, licensing agreements, terms of service, maintenance agreements, and the like, whether existing, in hard copy or in an electronic or online format such as "clickwrap" or "browsewrap" (collectively, "Software Agreements"). The parties a cknowledge that 12.212(a) requires the Government to procure such tools and their associated documentation under such Software Agreements to the extent such Software Agreements are consistent with Federal law.
The GSA Senior Procurement Executive issued a class deviation on 31 July 2015 to the GSAR to reconcile federal requirements with the terms of standard Commercial Supplier Agreements. An objective of the class deviation is to alleviate costs and delays of negotiating contract terms that federal purchasers can accept from commercial sources of information technology.
