The software may be used by any subdivision of the ordering activity (service, bureau, division, command, etc.) that has access to the site the software is placed at, even if the subdivision did not participate in the acquisition of the software. Further, the software may be used on a sharing basis where multiple agencies have joint projects that can be satisfied by the use of the software placed at one ordering activity’s site. This would allow other agencies access to one ordering activity’s database. For ordering activity public domain databases, user agencies and third parties may use the computer program to enter, retrieve, analyze and present data.

For purposes of this section, all such permitted third parties shall be deemed agents of the user ordering activity.

(4) The ordering activity shall have the right to use the computer software and documentation with the computer for which it is acquired at any other facility to which that computer may be transferred, or in cases of disaster recovery, the ordering activity has the right to transfer the software to another site if the ordering activity site for which it is acquired is deemed to be unsafe for ordering activity personnel; to use the computer software and documentation with a backup computer when the primary computer is inoperative; to copy computer programs for safekeeping (archives) or backup purposes; to transfer a copy of the software to another site for purposes of benchmarking new hardware and/or software; and to modify the software and documentation or combine it with other software, provided that the unmodified portions shall remain subject to these restrictions.
(5) “Commercial Computer Software” may be marked with the Contractor’s standard commercial restricted rights legend, but the schedule contract and schedule pricelist, including this clause, “Utilization Limitations” are the only governing terms and conditions, and shall take precedence and supersede any different or additional terms and conditions included in the standard commercial legend.

Such restrictions shall be consistent with FAR 9.505 and shall be designed to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate organizational conflicts of interest that might otherwise exist in situations related to individual orders placed against the schedule contract.

Brief Description of Item
Unison Marketplace electronic commerce services, which includes online reverse auction or Reverse eAuction services provides buyers with a complete, online, dynamic procurement process. The Unison Marketplace® Reverse eAuction service is a commercially available online procurement service that allows sellers of commercial items to the government to compete against each other on the Internet in real time and in an open and interactive environment that safeguards each seller’s identity and pricing. Through this service, the Contractor provides users with access to the online community of buyers and sellers located at www.UnisonMarketplace.com and provides buyers with associated onsite and remote support services required to facilitate dynamic competitive acquisition. The Contractor’s Reverse eAuction service operates by enabling buyers to publicize, or post, specifications for commercial items required by an agency and then to notify potential sellers of the opportunity. Once notified, sellers are able to submit bids through the Contractor’s Reverse eAuction system. Throughout this process, the Contractor maintains the confidentiality of competing seller identities and pricing data, promoting active, real-time competition among sellers by informing bidders only whether they are in the LEAD or LAG position. The LEAD/LAG notifications, while protecting process integrity, are sufficient to encourage significant competition among sellers, which are able to re-bid at any time during the Reverse eAuction process in order to obtain the LEAD position. Buyers may select any of the participating sellers in accordance with the terms of the Reverse eAuction and the buyer’s acquisition regulations. Once the buyer selects a seller, the Contractor notifies both the selected seller and the other unselected sellers of the decision. If a selected seller’s post-award performance is less than satisfactory, buyers may also submit through the Contractor’s Reverse eAuction system Seller Notes, which may be viewed by other buyers.
Negotiated Unit Price (NET PRICE) for the Product or Service
Once the buyer: i) determines that the results of the Unison Marketplace® Reverse eAuction have met the competition, savings and other buyer generated criteria for the procurement and ii) selects a winning seller from those results, the buyer issues an order to the selected seller for delivery of the commercial items. When the buyer receives the procured items, it pays to the selected seller the total bid amount. Contractor then collects from the selected seller the transactional fee, which consists of not more than three point nine-three (3.93) percent of the transaction. The buyer reserves the right to pay the transactional fee directly to Unison Marketplace.
Unison Marketplace will adjust its fee downward to address situations in which the buyer has met its competition and other procurement goals through Unison Marketplace but the fee has caused the selected seller’s bid to exceed a target price based on an actual market research quote or official published contract price. In such cases, Unison Marketplace will attempt to contact the buyer through the buyer’s preferred form of communication (email, telephone, or both) to confirm that the target price was based on an actual market research quote or official published contract price. Upon receipt of such confirmation from the buyer, Unison Marketplace will reduce or remove its fee so that the awarded price will not exceed the target price. In situations where the buyer awards above the target price, the target price will be void and Unison Marketplace reserves the right to collect their full fee.
