9. UTILIZATION LIMITATIONS (132-32, 132-33 AND 132-34)

a. Software acquisition is limited to commercial computer software defined in FAR Part 2.101.

b. When acquired by the ordering activity, commercial computer software and related documentation so legend shall be subject to the following as part of the End User License Agreement:

Period Covered by Contract: 6/11/2015 – 6/10/2035

(1) License Grant. Title to and Ownership of the Software and documentation shall remain with the Contractor, unless otherwise specified. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with rights granted to Aquilent Inc. by EAS, the developer of the ECP system, Aquilent, Inc. grants to the end user a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited right to use the software products specified on the Order Form(s) and any related reference materials, instruction guides, and operating manuals related to the software and made available to End User by Aquilent, Inc. (“Software”).

(2) Terms of Use. The Software may be used in accordance with the following terms. Software licenses are by site and by Ordering Activity. An ordering activity is defined as a cabinet level or independent ordering activity. 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. The user ordering activity will take appropriate action by instruction, agreement, or otherwise, to protect the Contractor's proprietary property with any third parties that are permitted access to the computer programs and documentation in connection with the user ordering activity's permitted use of the computer programs and documentation. For purposes of this section, all such permitted third parties shall be deemed agents of the user ordering activity.

(3) Except as is provided in paragraph 8.b(2) above, the ordering activity shall not provide or otherwise make available the software or documentation, or any portion thereof, in any form, to any third party without the prior written approval of the Contractor. Third parties do not include prime Contractors, subcontractors and agents of the ordering activity who have the ordering activity's permission to use the licensed software and documentation at the facility, and who have agreed to use the licensed software and documentation only in accordance with these restrictions. This provision does not limit the right of the ordering activity to use software, documentation, or information therein, which the ordering activity may already have or obtains without restrictions.

(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.

10. SOFTWARE CONVERSIONS (SIN 132-32 AND 132-33)

Period Covered by Contract: 6/11/2015 – 6/10/2035

Full monetary credit will be allowed to the ordering activity when conversion from one version of the software to another is made as the result of a change in operating system, or from one computer system to another. Under a perpetual license (132-33), the purchase price of the new software shall be reduced by the amount that was paid to purchase the earlier version. Under a term license (132-32), conversion credits which accrued while the earlier version was under a term license shall carry forward and remain available as conversion credits which may be applied towards the perpetual license price of the new version.

11. DESCRIPTIONS AND EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY

The Contractor shall include, in the schedule pricelist, a complete description of each software product and a list of equipment on which the software can be used. Also, included shall be a brief, introductory explanation of the modules and documentation which are offered.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO PURCHASE OF CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES

(SPECIAL ITEM NUMBER 132 40)

1. SCOPE

The prices, terms and conditions stated under Special Item Number (SIN) 132-40 Cloud Computing Services apply exclusively to Cloud Computing Services within the scope of this Information Technology Schedule.

This SIN provides ordering activities with access to technical services that run in cloud environments and meet the NIST Definition of Cloud Computing Essential Characteristics. Services relating to or impinging on cloud that do not meet all NIST essential characteristics should be listed in other SINs.

The scope of this SIN is limited to cloud capabilities provided entirely as a service. Hardware, software and other artifacts supporting the physical construction of a private or other cloud are out of scope for this SIN. Currently, an Ordering Activity can procure the hardware and software needed to build on premise cloud functionality, through combining different services on other IT Schedule 70 SINs (e.g. 132-51).

Sub-categories in scope for this SIN are the three NIST Service Models: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Offerors may optionally select a single sub-category that best fits a proposed cloud service offering. Only one sub-category may be selected per each proposed cloud service offering. Offerors may elect to submit multiple cloud service offerings, each with its own single sub-category. The selection of one of three sub-categories does not prevent Offerors from competing for orders under the other two sub-categories.

See service model guidance for advice on sub-category selection.

Sub-category selection within this SIN is optional for any individual cloud service offering, and new cloud computing technologies that do not align with the aforementioned three sub-categories may be included without a sub-category selection so long as they comply with the essential characteristics of cloud computing as outlined by NIST.

See Table 1 for a representation of the scope and sub-categories.

Table 1: Cloud Computing Services SIN Sub-Categories1

● Commercially available cloud computing services

● Meets the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) definition of Cloud Computing essential characteristics

● Open to all deployment models (private, public, community or hybrid), vendors specify deployment models

1. Software as a Service (SaaS): Consumer uses provider’s applications on cloud infrastructure. Does not manage/control platform or infrastructure. Limited application level configuration may be available.

2. Platform as a Service (PaaS): Consumer deploys applications onto cloud platform service using provider-supplied tools. Has control over deployed applications and some limited platform configuration but does not manage the platform or infrastructure.

3. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):

Consumer provisions computing resources. Has control over OS, storage, platform, deployed applications and some limited infrastructure configuration, but does not manage the infrastructure.

Contractor's cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this contract; and
