DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 02 - Understanding of DITCO IQO

Acquisition Deskbook - DEC 2022 Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) acknowledges it has read and understands the current published "DITCO

Inquiry/Quote/Order (IQO) Acquisition Deskbook" version 8.0 available from the DISA Procurement Directorate web site https://www.ditco.disa.mil/. Contractor agrees that the most recent DITCO Additional Telecommunications Text as set forth in this order take precedent over any conflicting terms and conditions in the Basic Agreement.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND."

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 07 - Contractor Monitoring and

Trouble Reporting - DEC 2022 Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) shall utilize its existing Network Operations Centers (NOCs) to monitor and manage the performance of this service 24 hours a day/7 day a week/365 days a year including holidays and weekends

(24/7/365) to ensure that services are delivered and maintained in accordance with the contract/order. The Contractor/TP shall provide the Government its 24/7/365 trouble reporting number to assist with troubleshooting technical issues.

ACCEPTABLE TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND," and provide contractor trouble reporting number.

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 12 - One-Stop-Shopping/End-to-End

Service - DEC 2022 U.S. Government's preference is to obtain this service on a "One-Stop-Shopping" (OSS) or end-to-end service basis. Under an

OSS or end-to-end arrangement, Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) receiving this contract shall have total responsibility for end-to-end technical sufficiency and invoicing (i.e., end-to-end provisioning, restoral/maintenance, and invoicing) for entire service.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND"

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 27 - Approvals and Permits - DEC

Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) receiving this contract shall be responsible for having or obtaining all approvals and permits necessary to provide this service for the life of the contract. The requirement that the TP obtain all approvals and permits is a contract administration issue. Inability of Contractor/TP to obtain any such approval or permit shall not be a valid basis for not meeting service date or providing service. Failure of a Contractor/TP to obtain any approval or permit necessary to provide this service may result in termination of this contract by U.S. Government for default at no cost to U.S. Government and/or receipt of a negative past performance rating.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND/WILL COMPLY.

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 30 - Contract Period - DEC 2022 This telecommunications service contract shall continue on a month-to-month basis with a not to exceed date of 14 JUL 2030.

After this period the contract will be considered expired with no authority for service to continue unless the U.S. Government issues a modification to extend. Should service continue through the end of this contract period, no modification will be issued to authorize discontinuance of service. The minimum service period shall be one month. Accordingly, the U.S. Government may discontinue service, at no additional cost to U.S. Government. U.S. Government will provide Contractor/Telecommunications

Provider (TP) 30 days' notice prior to discontinuing service before the not to exceed period. Contractors shall consider the ability of the Government to discontinue service with 30 days' notice when determining the reasonableness of incurring any costs. See

DFARS 252.239-7007, Cancellation or Termination of Orders.

Quotes/Proposals that do not accept the minimum one-month service period may be excluded from the competition and found unacceptable. The U.S. Government may consider quotes/proposals with a minimum service period greater than one month, when the Contracting Officer determines it is to the benefit of the U.S. Government. Thus, a Contractor/Telecommunications

Provider (TP) may provide more than one quote/proposal; one at a rate that accepts the minimum one-month service period, and others at rates that propose a different minimum service period.

The Government reserves the right to re-solicit these contracted services prior to the end of the not to exceed contract period when commercial market pricing demonstrates these services become available at lower prices.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND/WILL COMPLY."

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 33 - Notice of Completion - DEC

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 52 - Approved Products List - JUN

Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 8100.04, DoD Unified Capabilities, (December 9, 2010), establishes governing policy for products and services that support and connect to the DoD Information Network (DoDIN). DoDI 8100.04 also sets forth instructions that are implemented by the Defense Capabilities Requirement (formerly the Unified Capabilities Requirement document), the DoDIN Approved Products List (APL), and the DoDIN Service Provider Equipment (SPE) List. The DoDIN APL lists products that have been certified for Cybersecurity and Interoperability and are approved for use within and on DoD networks. The DoDIN SPE lists products that may be used to interface with the DoDIN when used by Internet Service Providers

(ISP) or other Telecommunications Providers. For the purposes of this solicitation, equipment at the point of interface with the

Government's network must conform to either the DoDIN APL or the DoDIN SPE.

CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) must list the make and model number of all equipment the TP or any subcontractor will use at the point of interface with the Government's network. The Government has the right to evaluate the list of equipment at the point of interface with the Government's network to ensure it is compliant with either the DoDIN APL or the DoDIN SPE. A TP's failure to list the specific equipment used at the point of interface with the Government's network, or inclusion of equipment not on the DoDIN APL or the DoDIN SPE, may result in the TP being deemed not technically acceptable.

Additionally, during the period of performance, service delivery, and contract administration, the TP is required to ensure the TP and all subcontractors use only equipment that conforms to DoDIN APL or DoDIN SPE requirements at the point of interface with the Government's network. If at any time during the performance of this contract/order the specified equipment will not be in compliance with the requirements of this provision, the TP must notify the Contracting Officer prior to installation. The

Government has the right to review the equipment used at any time during this contract/order. When determined by the

Government that an exception is in the Government's best interest, the Government or the TP may seek an exception to policy in accordance with DoDI 8100.04 or the DoDIN APL Process Guide to allow the TP to use equipment beneficial to the

Government's mission.

NUMBER OF ALL EQUIPMENT THE TP OR ANY SUBCONTRACTOR WILL USE AT THE POINT OF INTERFACE WITH THE

GOVERNMENT'S NETWORK AND PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT"BY SUBMISSION OF THIS QUOTE, I (AS THE

TP) CERTIFY THAT I UNDERSTAND THE PROVISION OUTLINED AND WILL COMPLY."

The submission of this quote/proposal constitutes the Telecommunications Provider's Certification that the TP has complied with the terms of the provision, and acknowledges that the TP's continued compliance with the provision is a material precondition for the Government's continued payment under the contract.

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 53 - Critical Infrastructure

Compliance - JUL 2023 A critical element of U.S. national security is the security of America's communications networks. Threats to the security of the nation's communications networks posed by certain telecommunications equipment or service providers are a matter of concern as reflected in both Executive Branch regulations and Congressional legislation.

In order to be eligible for (contract) award, Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) must certify in writing in its quote/proposal the following:

Even if the prime Contractor/TP's solution relies upon the exception of backhaul, roaming, or interconnection arrangements for delivery of some portion of the circuit/network, the solution will not use Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei

Technologies Company, ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities), or other covered telecommunications equipment/service on U.S. Government camps/posts/stations, or that directly connects to U.S. Government facilities.

During evaluation and administration of any resulting contract, the Government may consult other sources to determine whether the Contractor/TP is in compliance with the certification. Furthermore, the Government may inspect the Contractor/TP's equipment or services in accordance with the terms of the contract/ order that will result from this contracting opportunity. Failure to comply with the certification may result in termination of the contract for default or cause. If the Government determines that the security risks caused by the Contractor/TP's failure to comply with the certification can be eliminated or significantly reduced, then the Government shall require the contractor to take all necessary measures to mitigate such risks. Mitigation measures shall include removal and replacement of "covered telecommunications equipment" at no cost to the Government.
