Section J Attachment 2 Government Rights in Data (GRID)

1. Introduction

a. Purpose of this Attachment

The purpose of the Government Rights in Data (GRID) is to specifically identify the rights the Government will acquire for Propulsion Subsystem Support Contract development, production, and sustainment data; and 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 Government will acquire of classes of technical data, software, and software documentation as provided for in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and additionally as provided 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 252.2277017(d) Identification and Assertion of Use, Release, or Disclosure Restrictions.

b. Minimum Required Rights

1) The Government has determined the following are the minimum rights:

a) Unlimited Rights to all noncommercial technical data listed in Table 1 of this document where the phrase “Unlimited” is stated in Column 4 of the row associated with that item of technical data, except as otherwise indicated in Table 5;

b) Government Purpose Rights to all remaining noncommercial technical data and computer software listed in Table 1 of this document where the phrase “Offeror 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;

c) With respect to all commercial item technical data and computer software licenses listed in Table 2.1 of this document, licenses that comply with Section J Attachment 2, Paragraph 4.b. and contract clauses H001, H002, H003, H004, and H005 of the proposed contract;

d) With respect to all public domain or open source software (PD/OSS) computer software licenses listed in Table 2.2 of this document, licenses that comply with Section J Attachment 2, Paragraph 4.b. and contract clauses H001, H002, H003, H004, and H005 of the proposed contract;

e) 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 contract and Paragraph 4.c. of this document;

f) 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 contract and Paragraph 4.d. of this document.

2) With respect to Paragraph 1.b.1)a), the Government may make the determination that various CDRLs listed in Section J Attachment 2, GRID must be delivered with Unlimited Rights after reviewing the tailored Data Item Descriptions referenced in those CDRLs consistent with the statutorily-defined categories in 10 U.S.C. 2320(a)(2)(F)(i)(I), except as otherwise indicated in Table 5. With respect to Paragraph 1.b.1)b), the Government may make the determination that various CDRLs listed in this document must be delivered with minimum Government Purpose Rights to meet the Government’s minimum needs consistent with the Acquisition Strategy, except as otherwise indicated in Table 5.

3) All work required to produce the CDRLs and delivered software under this contract is entirely Government-funded. As such, the Government will reimburse 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 an offeror must develop entirely at private expense or provide previously developed technical data or computer software under this contract the offeror 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.
