Section J Attch 1, GRID 4.(c) Special

License Rights

Category A

The current SLRC-A language is not adequate to fully protect the contractor’s proprietary (including financial) information, particularly with regard to the involvement of Air Force support contractors and their subcontractors.

Request the Air Force revise the SLRC-A language to read as follows (stricken language would be removed, while underlined language would be added):

"The Government shall have the right to use, modify, perform, display or disclose all such data listed in Table 3 below, in whole or in part, within the Government and by all persons identified in clause H003 (Enabling Clause) (including their subcontractors) for the exclusive purpose of providing technical assistance and support on this contract. The Government shall have the right to unilaterally add or delete contractors (and contracts), from the list in clause H003 at any time without equitable adjustment or a modification of any other terms and conditions of this contract. All persons listed in clause H003 shall be required to establish nondisclosure agreements with the contractor, and such nondisclosure agreements shall be fully executed prior to disclosure of any contractor-proprietary information to the respective person listed in clause H003."

Section J Attch 1, GRID 4.(d) Special

License Rights

Category B

The current SLRC-B language is not adequate to fully protect the contractor’s proprietary information, particularly with regard to the involvement of Air Force support contractors and their subcontractors.

Request the Air Force revise the SLRC-B language to read as follows (stricken language would be removed, while underlined language would be added):

"The Government and the persons listed in H0003 (Enabling

Clause) (including their subcontractors ) shall have the right to review all data used by the contractor to create any CDRL or

CLIN listed in Tables 1-3 required to be delivered under this contract (including, if necessary, at the contractor’s and subcontractors’ facilities) to verify the currency, accuracy and completeness of the data contained in those CDRLs/CLINs. The

Government shall have the right to unilaterally add or delete contractors (and contracts) from the list in clause H0003 at any time without equitable adjustment or a modification of any other terms and conditions of this contract. All persons listed in clause H003 shall be required to establish nondisclosure agreements with the contractor, and such nondisclosure agreements shall be fully executed prior to disclosure of any contractor-proprietary information to the respective person listed in clause H003. There shall be no additional cost for SLRC-

B data except for the items listed in Table 4 below:"

Updates made to Section J Attachment 1. Changes will be reflected in Amendment 4

Section H 87 Clause

9952.227-H004, para. (e)

The current Clause 9952.227-H004 language is not adequate to fully protect the contractor’s proprietary information, particularly with regard to the involvement of

Air Force support contractors and their subcontractors.

Request the Air Force add the following sentence to the end of paragraph (e):

“All non-Government persons allowed access to the contractor’s IDE shall be required to establish nondisclosure agreements with the contractor, and such nondisclosure agreements shall be fully executed prior to the granting access to the contractor’s IDE."

No changes will be made to clause 9952.227-H004 at this time. The H Clauses are currently being reviewed and there may be potential changes in the future.
