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.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 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.

22. INSTALLATION, DEINSTALLATION, REINSTALLATION
The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of $2,000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party for construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed directly upon the site of the work shall received less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act do not apply if the construction work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple installation or alteration of a public building or public work that is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply contract. However, if the construction, alteration or repair is segregable and exceeds $2,000, then the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act applies.

GS-35F-5054H www.softwareagusa.com Page 11
(2) 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.

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.
(6) FAR Clause 52.227-19 COMMERCIAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE – RESTRICTED RIGHTS (JUNE 1987) is incorporated by reference as part of this pricelist.
(7) Software licenses are also by installation location, by operating system, and by licensing metric (e.g. number of processors, servers, users, developers, app-servers, etc.) as designated in the pricelist under SIN 132-33 and 132-34.
9. SOFTWARE CONVERSIONS - (SIN 132-33)
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
GS-35F-5054H www.softwareagusa.com Page 12 amount that was paid to purchase the earlier version. To do a software conversion, the particular software must be on Maintenance.
10. DESCRIPTIONS AND EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY
The latest descriptions of the software nad related maintenance may be found at www.softwareagusa.com. The software offered hereunder may be used in the operating system environments designated in the pricelist. Product documentation accompanying the software will be in electronic form and will consiste of Product Release Notes, Installation Instructions, and User Manuals. Such electronic documentation may be purchased separately for a fee as set forth in the pricelist.
11. RIGHT-TO-COPY PRICING
Right-to-copy pricing is not offered hereunder, except for Workstation-based software. For Workstation software ordered on a per-user basis in quantities greater than ten (10) units, Contractor shall ship ten (10) full Workstation Software Product kits and the Customer shall have the right to install such Software on multiple Workstations. Pricing for this volume installation is set forth in the pricelist. For orders which require shipment greater than ten (10) Workstation Software Product kits, the single user license price shall apply and no volume discounts shall be applicable.
12. CONSOLIDATION OF DATA CENTERS
In the event two agencies or departments who hold separate licenses for Software AG Products consolidate or otherwise combine or merge data centers or reduce the number of CPU’s on which Software AG Products are running, each separate license holder must separately license and maintain their Software AG license on the new CPU. For example, if two agencies or departments merge or consolidate data centers for which separate licenses were held by the respective agencies or departments prior to such consolidation, each entity which held the license prior to the consolidation must continue to hold and maintain that license separately.
The licenses and maintenance held by each agency or department must be for the CPU on which the software resides and no license for any logical partition of such may be granted. No time sharing or partitioning is authorized under this Contract.
13. MSU AND PARALLEL SYSPLEX LICENSES
Measured Service Units (MSU’s) are a rating of computer capacity and speed, similar to MIPS. Software AG determines the MSU rating of ach machine using information principally from the machine manufacturer. A Parallel Sysplex is a configuration of multiple machines acting as a single logical machine. Parallel Sysplex configurations must use MSU-based pricing, which is set forth in the pricelist. Parallel Sysplex licenses must be licensed at the MVS/ESA or higher level of functionality. No secondary license, second site license or production license discounts apply to MSU-based pricing. If a customer has multiple machines in a single data center, the aggregate of all the MSU’s of all the machines where the Products are allowed to execute form the base configuration to which capacity may be added. In a Parallel Sysplex configuration, the aggregate of all the MSU’s in the Sysplex where the Products are allowed to execute form the base configuration. MSU licenses may not be partitioned or taken below the Central Electronic Complex (CEC) level. Customers may not change from group-based pricing to MSU-based pricing without changing the configuration of the machine(s) involved. When changing from group pricing to MSU pricing, a credit will be given for the maximum number of MSU’s in the group of the currently-licensed machine. The maximum number of MSU’s shall be determined by the maximum number of MSUs in the Mainframe Hardware Groups located in the pricelist under SIN 132-33 Mainframe Hardware Models. Maintenance for MSU licenses less than or equal to 80 MSUs will be calculated using the Group based maintenance rates under SIN 132-34 for the number of MSU’s licensed, as set forth under SIN 132-33. For example, a license for 36 MSU’s would translate to a Group 70 machine. Annual maintenance for the 36 MSU license will be calculated using the rates set forth under SIN 132-34 for a Group 70 license. Software AG utilizes http://www.softwareagusa.com/
GS-35F-5054H www.softwareagusa.com Page 13 a 6 MIPs to 1 MSU ratio when converting licenses based on MIPs to licenses based on MSUs. Maintenance for MSU licenses greater than 80 MSUs will follow the MSU formula for maintenance found in the pricelist under SIN 132-34.
14. LOGICAL PARTITIONS.
Software AG does not have logical partition (LPAR) pricing for its Group-based or its MSU-based mainframe licenses.
15. CONVERSION OF GROUP-BASED PRICING TO USER-BASED PRICING
On the DEC/Open VMS operating system, licenses currently held on a CPU-specific license can be converted to user-based licenses. On the UNIX operating system, licenses currently held on a CPU-Group-and-users-specific license shall be converted to user-based licenses. The licenses may be converted either to named user licenses or concurrent user licenses. To convert to a named user license, the fee paid by the customer for the group based license shall be divided by the sum of the single user license fees for named users for those Products. To calculate the initial number of concurrent users, the license fee paid by the customer for the group based license shall be divided by the sum of the single user license fees for concurrent users for those products.
All license fees applicable to this conversion are set forth under SIN 132-33. Maintenance on those licenses will then be calculated using the rates set forth under SIN 132-34.
16. CONTRACTOR LIABILITY
Software AG shall not be liable for any injury to Government personnel or damage to Government property arising from the use of the software provide by Software AG unless such injury or damage is due to the fault or negligence of Software AG. Furthermore, Software AG liability arising out of this Contract, and the Government’s sole and exclusive remedy for any damages arising out of its use of the product, shall be limited to the Government’s direct damages, but in no event, shall the liability exceed the amount of payments made by the Government to Software AG pursuant to this Contract in the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding such event. The Government further agrees that Software AG shall not be liable for any damages incurred by the Government or any other person as a result of the Government’s use or misuse of product even if Software AG had been advised of the possibility of such damages.
