SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES:
Small Business Participation
SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Supply Schedules Program. 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 micro-purchase 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.fss.gsa.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage! and the Federal Supply Service Home Page (www.fss.gsa.gov) 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 micro-purchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

12. USE OF FEDERAL SUPPLY SERVICE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
SCHEDULE CONTRACTS.
Ordering activities shall use the ordering procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulations FAR
8.405 when placing an order or establishing a BPA for supplies or services. These procedures apply to all schedules.
Orders placed pursuant to a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), using the procedures in FAR 8.404, are considered to be issued pursuant to full and open competition. Therefore, when placing orders under Federal Supply Schedules, ordering offices need not seek further competition, synopsize the requirement, make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing, or consider small business set-asides in accordance with subpart 19.5. GSA has already determined the prices of items under schedule contracts to be fair and reasonable. By placing an order against a schedule using the procedures outlined below, the ordering office has concluded that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs.
FAR 8.405-1 Ordering procedures for supplies, and services not requiring a Statement of Work.
FAR 8.405-2 Ordering procedures for services requiring a Statement of Work.

Option 1 is applicable when the Offeror agrees to include the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission 19770-2 (ISO/IEC 19770- 2:2015) standard identification tag (SWID Tag) as an embedded element in the software. An ISO/IEC 19970-2 tag is a discoverable identification element in software that provides licensees enhanced asset visibility. Enhance visibility supports both the goals of better software asset management and license compliance. Offerors may use the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) document “NISTIR 8060: Guidelines for Creation of Interoperable Software Identification (SWID) Tags,” December 2015 to determine if they are in compliance with the ISO/IEC 19770-2 standard.
2.) Section 837 of The Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) of 2014, requires GSA to seek agreements with software vendors that enhance government- wide acquisition, shared use, and dissemination of software, as well as compliance with end user license agreements. The Megabyte Act of 2016 requires agencies to inventory software assets and to make informed decisions prior to new software acquisitions. In June of 2016, the Office of Management and Budget issued guidance on software asset management requiring each CFO Act (Public Law 101-576 – 11/15/1990) agency to begin software inventory management (M-16-12). To support these requirements, Offerors may elect to include the terms of Option 1 and/or Option 2, which support software asset management and government-wide reallocation or transferability of perpetually licensed software. ii.)
Reallocation of Perpetual Software (Option 2 Perpetual License) 1.) The purpose of SIN 511210 OPTION 2 is to allow ordering activities to transfer software assets for a pre-negotiated charge to other ordering activities. 2.) When an ordering activity becomes aware that a reusable software asset may be available for transfer, it shall contact the Contractor, identify the software license or licenses in question, and request that these licenses be reallocated or otherwise made available to the new ordering activity.
3.) Contractors shall release the original ordering activity from all future obligations under the original license agreement and shall present the new ordering activity with an equivalent license agreement. When the new ordering activity agrees to the license terms, henceforth any subsequent infringement or breach of licensing obligations by the new ordering activity shall be a matter exclusively between the new ordering activity and the Contractor.
4.) The original ordering activity shall de-install, and/or make unusable all of the software assets that are to be transferred. It shall have no continuing right to use the software and any usage shall be considered a breach of the Contractor’s intellectual property and a matter of dispute between the original ordering activity/original license grantee and the licensor.
5.) As a matter of convenience, once the original licenses are deactivated, di-installed, or made otherwise unusable by the original ordering activity or license grantee, the Contractor may elect to issue new licenses to the new ordering activity to replace the old licenses. When new licenses are not issued, the Contractor shall provide technical advice on how best to achieve the functional transfer of the software assets.
6.) Software assets that are eligible for transfer that have lapsed Software Maintenance Services (SIN 54151) may require a maintenance reinstatement fee, chargeable to the new ordering activity or license grantee. When such a fee is paid, the new ordering activity shall receive all the rights and benefits of Software Maintenance Services.
7.) When software assets are eligible for transfer, and are fully covered under pre-paid Software Maintenance Services (SIN 54151), the new ordering activity shall not be required to pay maintenance for those license assets prior to the natural termination of the paid for maintenance period. The rights associated with paid for current Software Maintenance Services shall automatically transfer with the software licenses without fee. When the maintenance period expires, the new ordering activity or license grantee shall have the option to renew maintenance.
8.) The administrative fee to support the transfer of licenses, exclusive of any new incremental licensing or maintenance costs shall be ______ percentage (%) of the original license fee. The fee shall be paid only at the time of transfer. In applying the transfer fee, the Software Contractor shall provide transactional data that supports the original costs of the licenses.
9.) Fill-in data and specific terms shall be attached to the GSA Price List (I-FSS-600 CONTRACT PRICE LISTS (OCT 2016). f.)
