The FDIC is seeking three annual subscription licenses for SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted Advanced for Enterprise (AE1500, up to 1500 nodes) with a base period from November 11, 2026 to November 10, 2027, and two optional one-year extension periods through November 10, 2029.

(b) The FDIC shall have 15 business days from the date of Contractor''s delivery to determine if such goods and services are in compliance with the requirements of the contract. If any services performed or goods delivered hereunder are not in conformity with the requirements of this Award, the FDIC shall have the right to require

Contractor to reperform the services or redeliver the goods in conformity with the requirements of the Award, at no additional increase in total contract amount. When the services to be performed are of such a nature that the defect cannot be corrected by reperformance of the services, the FDIC shall have the right to (1) require Contractor immediately to take all necessary steps to ensure future performance of the services in conformity with the requirements of the contract; and (2) reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed. In the event Contractor fails promptly to reperform the services or redeliver the goods, or to take necessary steps to ensure future performance of the services or delivery of the goods in conformity with the requirements of the Award, the FDIC shall have the right to either (1) by contract or otherwise, have the services performed or the goods delivered in conformity with the contract requirements and charge to Contractor any cost occasioned to the FDIC that is directly related to the performance of such services or the delivery of such goods; or

(2) terminate this Award for default as provided in 7.6.6-02, Termination for Default.

(c) Contractor shall provide and maintain an inspection system acceptable to the FDIC covering the goods or services to be delivered or performed hereunder. Records of all inspection work by Contractor shall be kept complete and available to the FDIC during the term of this Award and for such longer period as may be specified elsewhere in this Award.

Officer to represent the FDIC for the purpose of monitoring technical performance and accepting goods or services.

The Oversight Manager is not authorized to issue any instructions or directions which effect any substantive change in this contract, including, but not limited to, an increase or decrease in the price of this contract, or a change in the delivery date(s) or Period of Performance. Specific areas of delegated authority are more particularly defined in the

(a) Payment methods. Payments by the FDIC may be made by check or electronic funds transfer (EFT), or by a third party in lieu of payment directly from the FDIC, at the option of the FDIC. If the FDIC makes payment by EFT, the FDIC may, at its option, also forward the associated payment information by electronic transfer.

In the event Contractor certifies in writing to the payment office that Contractor does not have an account with a financial institution or an authorized payment agent, the FDIC would make payments by other than EFT.

(b) Contractor Payment Requests. If the FDIC elects for third party payments to be made, Contractor shall make payment requests through a charge to the FDIC purchase card with the third party, at the time and for the amount due in accordance with the terms of this contract.

No payment shall be due the Contractor until such agreement is made. Payments made or due by the third party are not subject to the Prompt Payment Act or any implementation thereof in this contract. Documentation of each charge against the FDIC''s purchase card shall be provided to the Contracting

Officer upon request.

Contractor is required, as a condition to any payment, to maintain current information in the System for Award

Management (SAM) database. Any invoice submitted with incorrect EFT information shall be deemed not to be a proper invoice as defined in the Prompt Payment Act clause herein.

(j) Remittance address.

(k) Billing Point of Contact (e.g., name (where practicable), title, phone number, and mailing address of person to notify if there are questions regarding the invoice).

(l) Shipping information (e.g., shipment number, date of shipment, bill of lading number and weight of shipment.

Shipping charges, if any, must be shown as a separate item on the invoice).

(m) For time and material or labor hour awards, copies of time sheets in support of direct labor charges.

(n) If travel expenses are reimbursable under the award, Contractor must submit travel documentation, receipts and other proof of expenses as required by the FDIC Contractor Travel Reimbursement Guidelines.

(1) identify subcontractor expenses and costs separate from prime contractor expenses and costs on the invoice it submits to FDIC;

(2) submit with its invoice, as supporting documentation, a copy of its subcontractor''s invoice when seeking reimbursement of subcontractor expenses.

(p) Pass through costs - If expenses or costs are reimbursable under the terms of the award, a description of each shall be provided in the invoice along with the quantity, unit amount, and total amount. Also, if amounts are derived from application of any formula, calculation, percentage, etc., such application must be clearly evident in the supporting documentation provided with the invoice.

(q) The following certification statement, signed by an authorized company representative:

"This is to certify that the services set forth herein [goods described herein] were performed [delivered] during the period stated.

Section G - Contract Administration Data PAGE 9 OF 50

In addition, the FDIC requires Contractors to maintain current information in the System for Award Management

(SAM) database and complete the annual renewal process, in order to receive timely invoice payments. FDIC may reject any invoice received from Contractor where processing of the invoice cannot be completed because

Contractor has failed to maintain its registration, including electronic funds transfer (EFT) information, in the SAM database.

7.5.13-14 - Electronic Invoice Preparation and Submission (CORHQ Business Unit) -

November 2023 Contractor must follow the FDIC’s electronic invoice preparation and submission instructions stated below:

(a) Contractor must email electronic invoices to the FDIC’s Division of Finance/Accounts Payable (DOF/AP) at the following address: DOFAPInvoice@fdic.gov

(b) Contractor must only email their invoices to the above DOF/AP email address and not the Oversight Manager or

Contracting Officer. The FDIC will not accept hand-delivered invoices or invoices sent to any other address (i.e., FDIC street address or any other email addresses).

(c) Contractor must submit the electronic invoice as a single file document, in PDF or Excel (.xlsx) format. If the size of a single PDF/Excel file exceeds 30 MB, the invoice may either be submitted as two PDF/Excel files, with neither

PDF/Excel file exceeding 30 MB, or it may be submitted as a zip file that does not exceed 30 MB. If two PDF/Excel files are used, each email must clearly identify that the invoice has been separated into two PDF/Excel files to accommodate the size limitation. If a zip file is used, the individual files inside the zip file must be kept to a minimum and each must have a descriptive file name, such as "Invoice cover page", "Timesheets", etc.)

If submitting in Excel, the following applies:

(1) The Excel file must be formatted in a manner acceptable to the Contracting Officer. The first tab or worksheet

(“Sheet”) in the Excel workbook must be the invoice itself, and subsequent tabs may be used for supporting information and calculations;

(2) The entire workbook (all tabs) must be formatted for printing in portrait format using letter-size pages, unless the Contracting Officer allows for landscape format and/or legal-size pages for one or more specified tabs;

(3) The entire workbook must allow for searching, sorting, filtering, and other data viewing options by FDIC personnel. All formulas in cells must be visible to FDIC personnel;

(4) Any unit price or hourly rate must be an exact amount as rounded and displayed in the contract schedule or pricing attachment, and all calculations using the unit price or hourly rate must use that exact displayed amount.

The Contractor must not use a unit price or hourly rate on an invoice that differs from the amount displayed in the contract. For example, if a unit price or hourly rate is displayed as $135.15 in the contract, all calculations in the workbook must be based on $135.15 (with no decimals beyond the cent), and must not be based on a pre-rounded amount from elsewhere in the Contractor’s systems; and

(5) Any cell containing a calculation or formula using dollar amounts must be rounded to two decimal places (no decimals beyond the cent). This rounding guideline must be applied to both intermediate and final calculations.

(d) Contractor must not include more than one electronic invoice in the same email. (For example, if a Contractor has four task orders, a separate email with a single invoice must be submitted for each of the four task orders.)

Section G - Contract Administration Data PAGE 10 OF 50

(e) Contractor must name the PDF/Excel file or zip file in the following format (with invoice date shown as year/month/date followed by a space and the invoice number):

Invoice date and invoice number (e.g., 2023-01-31 1067876)

(f) Contractor’s email subject line must include the words, “Contractor Invoice”, followed by a hyphen and the

Contract Number (or Task Order Number, or Delivery Order Number, as applicable), as shown in the example below:

"Contractor Invoice – CORHQ-23-C-0000"

(g) Task Assignments: For contracts and task orders containing provisions for Task Assignments, a separate invoice must be submitted via a separate email for each Task Assignment.

(h) The counting of days for Prompt Payment begins on the date the invoice is received in the inbox of the DOF/AP email address, until 4PM. Invoices received after 4PM will be counted as being received the following FDIC workday.

Section G - Contract Administration Data PAGE 11 OF 50

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

7.1.3-02 - Post-Government Employment Certification (Post-Award) - May 2009 Any former Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) employee who the contractor intends to use in performance of work under the contract or its subcontracts must complete and submit the post-government employment certification found at FDIC website https://www.fdic.gov/buying/goods/acquisition/index.html. The certification must be submitted to the Contracting

Officer prior to the former employee commencing work under the contract. The FDIC Legal Division Ethics Unit will review the certification to determine compliance with the post-government employment restrictions. The former employee may be required to provide additional information as to their position and responsibilities while employed at FDIC or RTC and as a post-government employee working on the FDIC contract or subcontract.

7.3.2-78 - Commercial Supplier Agreement Terms and Conditions - May 2025

1. Definitions:

A. “Commercial item” means any of the following: [Note: For purposes of this document, the term "commercial item" is interchangeable with the terms "commercially available”, "commercially available software”, "commercial component(s)", "commercial product(s)", and "commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)”.]

(1) Any item, other than real property, that is of a type customarily used by the general public or by nongovernmental entities for purposes other than governmental purposes and that has been sold, leased, licensed to the general public; or has been offered for sale, lease, or license to the general public.

(2) Any item that evolved from an item described in paragraph (1) through advances in technology or performance and that is not yet available in the commercial marketplace, but will be available in the commercial marketplace in time to satisfy the delivery requirements under a government solicitation.

(3) Any item that would satisfy a criterion expressed in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this definition, but for (i) modifications of a type customarily available in the commercial marketplace; or (ii) modifications of a type not customarily available in the commercial marketplace made to meet Federal government requirements.

(4) Any combination of items meeting the requirements of paragraphs (1), (2), (3), or (5) of this definition that are of a type customarily combined and sold in combination to the general public.

(5) Installation services, maintenance services, repair services, training services, and other services if such

Section H - Special Contract Requirements PAGE 12 OF 50 services are procured for support of an item referred to in paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (4) of this definition, and if the source of such services--(i) offers such services to the general public and the Federal government contemporaneously and under similar terms and conditions; and (ii) offers to use the same work force for providing the Federal government with such services as the source uses for providing such services to the general public.

(6) Services of a type offered and sold competitively in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace based on established catalog or market prices for specific tasks performed under standard commercial terms and conditions. This does not include services sold based on hourly rates without an established catalog or market price for specific service performed.

(7) Any item, combination of items, or service referred to in paragraphs (1) through (6), notwithstanding the fact that the item, combination of items, or service is transferred between or among separate divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of a contractor.

(8) Any item determined by the procuring agency to have been developed exclusively at private expense and sold in substantial quantities, on a competitive basis, to multiple state and local governments.

B. “Commercial supplier agreements” means terms and conditions customarily offered to the public by vendors of supplies or services that meet the definition of “commercial item” and intended to create a binding legal obligation on the end user, such as, but not exclusively, those used in information technology acquisitions, including acquisitions of commercial computer software and commercial technical data. Such agreements may be referred to as Terms of Service (TOS), End User License Agreement (EULA) or another similar legal instrument or agreement and may be presented as a part of a proposal or quotation responding to a solicitation for contract or order. The term applies, regardless of the format or style of the document, whether in paper or electronic form.

2. Applicability. The following terms and conditions apply to any commercial supplier agreement as defined in this clause. These terms take precedence and supersede any conflicting or contrary terms in a contractor, subcontractor or associated third party Commercial license agreement. When any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to a commercial supplier agreement, the terms of this clause shall be deemed incorporated into the commercial supplier agreement. In addition, the Commercial Supplier Agreement is a part of a contract between the commercial supplier and the FDIC for the acquisition of the supply or service that necessitates a license or other similar legal instrument (including all contracts, task orders, and delivery orders). For accepted terms under the commercial supplier agreement, the ordering activity FDIC may be bound as end user, but a

Government employee or person acting on behalf of the government in his or her personal capacity will not be bound. The commercial supplier or license agreement may be incorporated into an FDIC contract as modified by this clause. If a Commercial Supplier Agreement is not required for the goods and services performed by the contractor, all the terms listed below in this clause are not applicable to the contract.

3. Contract Formation. All terms intended to bind the FDIC must be included in static text form within the contract signed by the FDIC. Neither the FDIC nor any authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to any terms in the commercial supplier agreement or any terms of any associated third-party agreement by a click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or "browse-wrap" agreements) and such purported execution does not bind the FDIC or an authorized end user and is null and void.

4. Authorization. By executing the Contract, Contractor represents that it is duly authorized to enter into the

Contract, including any amendments to the commercial supplier agreement as incorporated into the contract.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements PAGE 13 OF 50

5. Venue. Any language requiring dispute resolution in a specific forum or venue that is different from that prescribed by applicable Federal law is hereby deleted.

6. Limitations on Actions. Any language prescribing a different time period for bringing an action than that prescribed by applicable Federal law in relation to a dispute is hereby deleted.

7. Arbitration; equitable or injunctive relief. In the event of a claim or dispute arising under or relating to this agreement, binding arbitration shall not be used unless specifically authorized by a FDIC guidance, and equitable or injunctive relief, including award of attorney fees, costs or interest, may be awarded against FDIC only when explicitly provided by statute (e.g. Prompt Payment Act). Any terms in the commercial supplier agreement requiring that disputes be submitted to arbitration or that claims the supplier has the right to injunctive relief, attorney fees, costs or interest is null and void and shall not be enforceable against the Government.

8. Updating Terms. After award the contractor may unilaterally revise terms if they are not material. A material change is defined as: (A) Terms that significantly change Government’s rights or obligations; and (B) Terms that increase Government prices; (C) Terms that decrease overall level of service; or (D) Terms that limit any other

Government right addressed elsewhere in this contract. For revisions that will materially change the terms of the contract, the revised commercial supplier agreement must be incorporated into the contract using a bilateral modification. Any terms or conditions unilaterally revised subsequent to award that are inconsistent with any material term or provision of this contract shall not be enforceable against the Government, and the Government shall not be deemed to have consented to them.

9. Representation. Any clause of this agreement requiring the commercial supplier or licensor to defend or indemnify the end user is hereby amended to provide that the U.S. Department of Justice has the sole right to represent the United States in any such action, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 516 or FDIC under 12 U.S.C. §

1819, unless otherwise provided by Federal law.

10. Warranties and Disclaimers. FDIC will accept the contractor’s commercial warranty, but does not accept a disclaimer of the implied warranty that the items delivered hereunder are merchantable and fit for use for the particular purpose described in this contract. Additionally, FDIC does not accept a disclaimer of any warranties expressly provided for in the Contract.

11. Limitation of Liability. All limitations of liability accepted by FDIC shall only apply to claims based on contract and any limitations related to tort or other causes of action shall not apply and shall be null and void and unenforceable against the government. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the commercial supplier agreement, nothing in the contract or the commercial supplier agreement shall impair the U.S. Government''s right to recover for fraud or crimes arising out of or related to this Government contract under any federal fraud statute, including but not necessarily limited to the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3733.

12. Audit. Any audit requested by the contractor will be at the contractor’s or Licensor’s expense without reimbursement by the FDIC. Further, such audit may only be conducted if the auditor satisfies the FDIC’s security requirements for access to its facilities, systems and information.

13. Term and Termination. Neither the Contractor nor Licensor can unilaterally revoke, terminate or suspend an

Agreement or any associated rights granted to the FDIC. In the event of a dispute, the requirements specified in

Section H - Special Contract Requirements PAGE 14 OF 50 the Disputes paragraph of this document would apply.

14. Continued Performance. The supplier or licensor shall not unilaterally revoke, terminate or suspend any rights granted to the Government except as allowed by this contract. If the supplier or licensor believes the FDIC to be in breach of the agreement, it shall pursue its rights under the Disputes Clause of the contract or other applicable

Federal statute while continuing performance.

15. Confidentiality. If the agreement includes a confidentiality clause, it shall be amended to state that the

Government and Government employee’s obligations with regard to confidentiality are governed by statute, such as, but not exclusively, the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1905 and the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. §

552. To the extent that the confidentiality language conflicts or in any way purports to alter the Government or

Government employee’s obligation with regard to confidentiality, such language shall be null and void and will not be enforceable against the Government.

16. Indemnification. Any language requiring the FDIC to indemnify a contractor or related third-party licensor is null and void and is unenforceable against the Government.

17. Automatic Renewal. Except as otherwise expressly agreed to by the FDIC, any provision of an Agreement requiring automatic renewal of the Agreement is unenforceable against the FDIC.

18. Integration. Any integration clause shall be amended to recognize the associated Contract and these terms and conditions as part of an “entire agreement.”
