2. TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SPECIAL ITEM NUMBER (SIN)

33411, PURCHASING OF NEW ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT SUBJECT TO

COOPERATIVE PURCHASING

1. MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP

All equipment furnished hereunder must satisfactorily perform the function for which it is intended.

2. ORDER

Written orders, EDI orders (GSA Advantage! and FACNET), credit card orders, and orders placed under blanket purchase agreements (BPA) agreements shall be the basis for purchase in accordance with the provisions of this contract. If time of delivery extends beyond the expiration date of the contract, the Contractor will be obligated to meet the delivery and installation date specified in the original order. For credit card orders and BPAs, telephone orders are permissible.

3. TRANSPORTATION OF EQUIPMENT

FOB DESTINATION. Prices cover equipment delivery to destination, for any location within the geographic scope of this contract.

4. INSTALLATION AND TECHNICAL SERVICES

a. INSTALLATION. When the equipment provided under this contract is not normally self-installable, the Contractor's technical personnel shall be available to the ordering activity, at the ordering activity's location, to install the equipment and to train ordering activity personnel in the use and maintenance of the equipment. The charges, if any, for such services are listed below, or in the price schedule.

b. INSTALLATION, DEINSTALLATION, REINSTALLATION. The Davis- Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of $2,000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party for construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed directly upon the site of the work shall receive less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act do not apply if the construction work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple installation or alteration of a public building or public work that is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply contract.

However, if the construction, alteration or repair is segregable and exceeds $2,000, then the requirement of the Davis-Bacon Act applies.

The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will be responsible for proper administration and enforcement of the Federal labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act. The proper Davis-Bacon wage determination will be issued by the ordering activity at the time a request for quotations is made for applicable construction classified installation, deinstallation, and reinstallation services under SIN 33411 or SIN 33411REF.

e. Ordering activities should notify the Contractor in writing thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of an order if the term licenses is to be terminated at that time. Orders for the continuation of term licenses will be required if the term licenses are to be continued during the subsequent period.

7. CONVERSION FROM TERM LICENSE TO PERPETUAL LICENSE

c. The term license for each software product shall be discontinued on the day immediately preceding the effective date of conversion from a term license to a perpetual license.

d.

The period of continuous term license for automatic accrual of a fully paid-up perpetual license does not have to be achieved during a particular fiscal year; it is a written Contractor commitment which continues to be available for software that is initially ordered under this contract, until a fully paid-up perpetual license accrues to the ordering activity. However, should the term license of the software be discontinued before the specified period of the continuous term license has been satisfied, the perpetual license accrual shall be forfeited.

47QTCA19D0078 pg. 11 Modification A812, February 2, 2020.

9. UTILIZATION LIMITATIONS - (SIN 511210)

a. Software Asset Identification Tags (SWID) (Option 1 Perpetual License)

1. Option 1 is applicable when the Offeror agrees to include the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission 19770-2 (ISO/IEC 19770- 2:2015) standard identification tag (SWID Tag) as an embedded element in the software. An ISO/IEC 19970- 2 tag is a discoverable identification element in software that provides licensees enhanced asset visibility. Enhance visibility supports both the goals of better software asset management and license compliance.

Offerors may use the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) document “NISTIR 8060: Guidelines for Creation of Interoperable Software Identification (SWID) Tags,” December 2015 to determine if they are in compliance with the ISO/IEC 19770-2 standard.

2. Section 837 of The Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) of 2014, requires GSA to seek agreements with software vendors that enhance government- wide acquisition, shared use, and dissemination of software, as well as compliance with end user license agreements. The Megabyte Act of 2016 requires agencies to inventory software assets and to make informed decisions prior to new software acquisitions. In June of 2016, the Office of Management and Budget issued guidance on software asset management requiring each CFO Act (Public Law 101-576 – 11/15/1990) agency to begin software inventory management (M-16-12). To support these requirements, Offerors may elect to include the terms of Option 1 and/or Option 2, which support software asset management and government-wide reallocation or transferability of perpetually licensed software.

b. Reallocation of Perpetual Software (Option 2 Perpetual License)

1. The purpose of SIN 511210 OPTION 2 is to allow ordering activities to transfer software assets for a pre-negotiated charge to other ordering activities.

2. When an ordering activity becomes aware that a reusable software asset may be available for transfer, it shall contact the Contractor, identify the software license or licenses in question, and request that these licenses be reallocated or otherwise made available to the new ordering activity.

3. Contractors shall release the original ordering activity from all future obligations under the original license agreement and shall present the new ordering activity with an equivalent license agreement. When the new ordering activity agrees to the license terms, henceforth any subsequent infringement or breach of licensing obligations by the new ordering activity shall be a matter exclusively between the new ordering activity and the Contractor.

4. The original ordering activity shall de-install, and/or make unusable all of the software assets that are to be transferred. It shall have no continuing right to use the software and any usage shall be considered a breach of the

47QTCA19D0078 pg. 12 Modification A812, February 2, 2020.

Contractor’s intellectual property and a matter of dispute between the original ordering activity/original license grantee and the licensor.

5. As a matter of convenience, once the original licenses are deactivated, di-installed, or made otherwise unusable by the original ordering activity or license grantee, the Contractor may elect to issue new licenses to the new ordering activity to replace the old licenses. When new licenses are not issued, the Contractor shall provide technical advice on how best to achieve the functional transfer of the software assets.

6. Software assets that are eligible for transfer that have lapsed Software Maintenance Services (SIN 54151) may require a maintenance reinstatement fee, chargeable to the new ordering activity or license grantee. When such a fee is paid, the new ordering activity shall receive all the rights and benefits of Software Maintenance Services.

7. When software assets are eligible for transfer, and are fully covered under pre-paid Software Maintenance Services (54151), the new ordering activity shall not be required to pay maintenance for those license assets prior to the natural termination of the paid for maintenance period. The rights associated with paid for current Software Maintenance Services shall automatically transfer with the software licenses without fee. When the maintenance period expires, the new ordering activity or license grantee shall have the option to renew maintenance.

8. The administrative fee to support the transfer of licenses, exclusive of any new incremental licensing or maintenance costs shall be ______ percentage (%) of the original license fee. The fee shall be paid only at the time of transfer. In applying the transfer fee, the Software Contractor shall provide transactional data that supports the original costs of the licenses.

Balanced Scorecard Champion Technical Training

This course teaches the basics needed to act a balanced scorecard champion within the Agency or organization in which the student works. The course offers a general overview of the Balanced Scorecard, where it originated, why it is applicable to their organizational information technology I(IT) needs, and what each part does and means to them. The course then delves into the specific parts of the balanced scorecard, how to facilitate the development of each part, what to get out of each part, and how to use each part in the running of an organization.

From there, we teach how to take an organization from where they are in their IT strategic planning journey to a balanced scorecard using our unique methodology. We then show how to technically transfer the strategy into a software tool and how to manage the organization through the use of a software tool and model and how to sustain that tool and model over time so it remains relevant and current to the organization.

2 days A general understanding of IT strategic planning
