INFORMATION FOR ORDERING ACTIVITIES
APPLICABLE TO ALL SPECIAL ITEM NUMBERS
SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES: Small Business Participation
SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Acquisition Service.
To enhance Small Business Participation SBA policy allows agencies to include in their procurement base and goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be placed against the Federal Supply
Schedules, and to report accomplishments against these goals.
For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage! on-line shopping service (www.gsaadvantage.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage! and the Federal Acquisition Service Home Page
(www.gsa.gov/fas) contain information on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns.
This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when selecting pricelists for a best value determination.
For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

Customer shall be solely responsible to confirm that the Order satisfies the Customer’s operational needs and requirements. The Consulting Services shall be performed and delivered at the times and places listed in the applicable Order. Questionmark shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the timelines set in the Order.
2.2.1 Configuration. If an Order requires Questionmark to develop a customized configuration of the OnDemand Service specifically for Customer, upon the delivery of such customized configuration (each a, “Configuration”), Customer shall have twenty-one (21) days to review such Configuration for any material non-conformance with the terms of the Order.

If Questionmark is unable to bring the
Configuration into material conformance with the Order after this process has been followed three (3) times, the Customer may terminate the Order with respect to the
Configuration and receive a refund for the returned, non-materially conforming

OnDemand Service or any feature thereof.

3.1 Service Configuration. Customer may use the OnDemand Service during the Term solely in conformance with the terms of this Agreement, the Service Configuration, Permitted Use and applicable laws. If Customer requires an increase in the Service Configuration, further charges may be due.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall be permitted to exceed the number of Participants authorized in the Service Configuration by no more than ten percent
(10%) at any one time (measured on a rolling twelve (12) month basis) where Participants are
