Flight Test, Telemetry, and Termination (FT3): Production and Sustainment Government Rights in Data (GRID)

1. Introduction

(a) Purpose of this Attachment

The purpose of this Attachment on Government Rights in Data (GRID) is to identify specifically the rights the Government will acquire to all FT3 Production Follow-On efforts to include production data, computer software and computer software documentation delivered or otherwise provided to the Government during performance of this contract. Section 2 defines the scope and applicability of the provisions of this Attachment; Section 3 contains definitions; Section 4 identifies the rights the U.S. Government will acquire regarding classes of technical data, software, and software documentation as provided for in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and additionally as provided for by the Contractor. Appendix A lists Commercial Software Licenses which contains the complete text of commercial licenses for each product identified in Section 4 (if applicable). Appendix B contains a list of Technical Data Previously Delivered to the Government in accordance with DFARS Clause 252.227-7028. Appendix C includes a table from DFARS Clause 252.227-7992 Identification and Assertion of Use, Release, or Disclosure Restrictions.

(b) Minimum Required Rights

(1) The purpose of this contract is to produce flight test kit replenishment spares necessary to support the AFGSC Force Development Evaluation Operational Test Launch (OTL) mission. The OTLs are critical to validating the continued accuracy and reliability of the MMIII Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Weapon System, and providing data to ensure a safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent. It is necessary to produce flight test kit replenishment spares and sustain FT3 systems to support MMIII OTL Program through 2040 or until the AFGSC establishes a termination date for MMIII OTLs. Continued production is mandated by Federal law (10 U.S.C. 2281, 42 U.S.C. 14712). Accordingly, the Government has determined the following are the minimum rights:

(i) Unlimited Rights to all noncommercial technical data listed in Table 1. where the phrase “Unlimited” is stated in column 4 of the row associated with that item of technical data;

(ii) Government Purpose Rights to all remaining noncommercial technical data and computer software listed in Table 1. where the phrase “Contractor to Complete” is stated in column 3 of the row associated with that item of technical data or computer software and contract clauses H001, H002, H003, H004 and H005 of the proposed contract;

(iii) With respect to all commercial item technical data and computer software licenses listed in Table 2.1., licenses that comply with paragraph 4(b) and contract clauses H001, H002, H003, H004 and H005 of the proposed contract;

(iv) With respect to all public domain or open source software (PD/OSS) computer software licenses listed in Table 2.2., licenses that comply with paragraph 4(b) and contract clauses H001, H002, H003, H004 and H005 of the proposed contract;

(v) Special License Rights to data other than technical data (e.g., schedule/milestone data, financial data) delivered to the Government described in contract clauses H001, H002, H003, H004 and H005 of the proposed contract and paragraph 4(c).

(2) Special License Rights to review all data used by the Contractor to create any Contract Data Requirement List (CDRL) or contract line item number (CLIN) delivered under this contract to verify the currency, accuracy, and completeness of the data contained in those CDRLs/CLINs described in contract clauses H001, H002, H003, H004 and H005 of the proposed contract and paragraph 4(d). With respect to paragraph 1 (b) (1) (ii), the Government made the determination that various CDRLs listed in the GRID must be delivered with, at minimum, Government Purpose Rights to meet the Government’s minimum needs consistent with the Acquisition Strategy.

(3) With respect to paragraph 1(b) (1), the Government made the determination that various CDRLs listed in the GRID must be delivered with Unlimited Rights after reviewing the tailored Data Item Descriptions (DID) referenced in those CDRLs consistent with the statutorily-defined categories in 10 U.S.C. 2320(a)(2)(F)(i)(I).

(4) All work required to produce the CDRLs and delivered software under this contract is entirely Government funded. As such, the Government will be reimbursing the Contractor its allocable, allowable, and reasonable costs of performing the work to satisfy the requirements of this request for proposal (RFP). Where there are valid reasons why the Contractor must develop entirely at private expense or provide previously developed technical data or computer software under this contract the contractor may not be required, either as a condition of being responsive to this RFP or as a condition for award, to sell or otherwise relinquish to the Government any proprietary right in technical data or computer software developed at private expense, except for the items identified at DFARS 227.7103-5(a)(2) and (a)(4) through (a)(9), DFARS 227.7203-5(a)(3) through (6) and DFARS 227.7102-1.

2. Applicability

The terms of this Attachment, contract clauses H001, H002, H003, H004, and H005 shall apply to all subcontractor produced data in support of this contract whether the data is delivered as a prime work product or delivered directly by the subcontractor to the Government.
