Potential offerors should identify any unnecessary or inefficient requirements and are also encouraged to comment on other portions of the document (e.g., proposed Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN) structure, unique terms and conditions, Section M evaluation criteria).

This competitive acquisition will result in a firm-fixed-price (FFP) mission core requirement with the ability to issue FFP task orders. The contract will have a one-year base period and four one-year option periods.

(a) Of the total price of items 1 through 1, the sum of $TBD is presently available for payment and allotted to this contract.

SCHEDULE FOR ALLOTMENT OF FUNDS

Date Amounts

TBD TBD

(b) The contractor agrees to perform or have performed work on the items specified in paragraph (a) of this clause up to the point at which, if this contract is terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause would, in the exercise of reasonable judgment by the contractor, approximate the total amount at the time allotted to the contract. The contractor is not obligated to continue performance of the work beyond that point. The Government is not obligated in any event to pay or reimburse the contractor more than the amount from time to time allotted to the contract, anything to the contrary in the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause notwithstanding.

(c) (1) It is contemplated that funds presently allotted to this contract will cover the work to

H-3 be performed until TBD.

(2) If funds allotted are considered by the contractor to be inadequate to cover the work to be performed until that date, or an agreed date substituted for it, the contractor shall notify the contracting officer in writing when within the next 60 days the work will reach a point at which, if the contract is terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause will approximate 75 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract.

(3) (i) The notice shall state the estimated date when the point referred to in paragraph

(c)(2) of this clause will be reached and the estimated amount of additional funds required to continue performance to the date specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, or an agreed date substituted for it.

(ii) The contractor shall, 60 days in advance of the date specified in paragraph

(c)(1) of this clause, or an agreed date substituted for it, advise the contracting officer in writing as to the estimated amount of additional funds required for the timely performance of the contract for a further period as may be specified in the contract or otherwise agreed to by the parties.

(4) If, after the notification referred to in paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this clause, additional funds are not allotted by the date specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, or an agreed date substituted for it, the contracting officer shall, upon the contractor's written request, terminate this contract on that date or on the date set forth in the request, whichever is later, pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause.

(d) When additional funds are allotted from time to time for continued performance of the work under this contract, the parties shall agree on the applicable period of contract performance to be covered by these funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this clause shall apply to these additional allotted funds and the substituted date pertaining to them, and the contract shall be modified accordingly.

If, solely by reason of the Government's failure to allot additional funds in amounts sufficient for the timely performance of this contract, the contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract, and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the items to be delivered, or in the time of delivery, or both.

(e) The Government may at any time before termination, and, with the consent of the contractor, after notice of termination, allot additional funds for this contract.

(f) The provisions of this clause with respect to termination shall in no way be deemed to limit the rights of the Government under the default clause of this contract.

This clause shall become inoperative upon the allotment of funds for the

H-3 total price of said work except for rights and obligations then existing under this clause.

(g) Nothing in this clause shall affect the right of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract.

52.204-21 BASIC SAFEGUARDING OF COVERED CONTRACTOR INFORMATION

SYSTEMS (NOV 2021)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause -

Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public Web sites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.

(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures. (1) The contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems.

(i) Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or devices (including other information systems).

(ii) Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute.

(iii) Verify and control/limit connections to and use of external information

I-6

(iv) Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible information

(v) Identify information system users, processes acting on behalf of users, or devices.

(vi) Authenticate (or verify) the identities of those users, processes, or devices, as a prerequisite to allowing access to organizational information systems.

(vii) Sanitize or destroy information system media containing Federal

Contract Information before disposal or release for reuse.

(viii) Limit physical access to organizational information systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.

(ix) Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity; maintain audit logs of physical access; and control and manage physical access devices.

(x) Monitor, control, and protect organizational communications (i.e., information transmitted or received by organizational information systems) at the external boundaries and key internal boundaries of the information systems.

(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or

(b) All delivery orders or task orders are subject to the terms and conditions of this contract.

In the event of conflict between a delivery order or task order and this contract, the contract shall control.

Government deposits the order in the mail;

(2) If sent by fax, the Government transmits the order to the contractor's fax number;

or

(3) If sent electronically, the Government either -

(i) Posts a copy of the delivery order or task order to a government document access system, and notice is sent to the contractor; or

(ii) Distributes the delivery order or task order via email to the contractor's email address.

(d) Orders may be issued by methods other than those enumerated in this clause only if authorized in the contract.

52.216-19 ORDER LIMITATIONS (OCT 1995)
