H.1 Exclusive and Cross Teaming Prohibitions
(a) Definition. An exclusive teaming arrangement is created when two or more companies agree, through understandings, or by any other means to team together to pursue a TREX Prime Contract, and further agree not to team with any competitors for that Prime Contract.
(b) Prohibition. Prime Contractors are prohibited from entering into and/or maintaining any exclusive teaming arrangements that will affect the DO/TOs issued under the TREX Prime Contract(s). USSOCOM has determined that such arrangements unduly limit competition and therefore, do not provide the best value to the Government. Corporate or Company capabilities below the Prime Contractor-level must be made available on fair and equitable terms to all TREX Prime Contractors. The Government will direct the dissolution of any exclusive teaming arrangement which the Contracting Officer discovers, or prohibit the Prime Contractor from award consideration for future DO/TOs.
(c) Cross Teaming. Teaming arrangements in which Prime Contractors participate as a subcontractor/team member with another Prime Contractor are not authorized under this Prime Contract.
H.2 Organizational Conflict Of Interest In addition to the OCI requirements outlined with FAR subpart 9.5 the following restrictions apply to this contract.
(a) SOF AT&L Services Support (via GSA OASIS Small Business Pool 1): In the event that SOF AT&L
Services Support is awarded before TREX, then the SOF AT&L Services Support awardee shall immediately notify the TREX KO in writing that they will immediately (within 1 business day) withdraw their proposal from consideration. In the event that TREX is awarded before SOF AT&L Services Support, then the TREX Prime Contractor shall immediately notify the TREX KO in writing that they will immediately (within 1 business day) request a no cost termination of their TREX Prime Contract if they are awarded a SOF AT&L Services Support contract.
(b) The TREX Prime Contractor shall not award a subcontract to a company that has rendered any of the following services in relation to this TREX acquisition: requirements generation, requirements analysis, acquisition support, budget planning and management, business process reengineering, program planning and execution support, or statement of work preparation.
(c) The term "Prime Contractor" used in this TREX acquisition means:
(1) “Prime Contractor” means an awardee of a TREX Prime Contract as a result of this solicitation;
(2) All business organizations with which it merges, joins or affiliates, now or in the future, and in any manner whatsoever, or which hold or may obtain, by purchase or otherwise, direct or indirect control of;
(3) Its parent organization (if any), and any of its present or future subsidiaries, associates, affiliates; and,
(4) Any organization or enterprise over which it has direct or indirect control (now or in the future).
(d) “Affiliates” means concerns and entities where one controls or has the power to control the other, or a third party or parties controls or has the power to control both. It does not matter whether control is exercised, so long as the power to control exists.
(e) If the Prime Contractor, after award, discovers a potential organizational conflict of interest, a prompt and full disclosure shall be made in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a description of the circumstances that constitute the potential OCI, how the issues originated, the actions the Prime Contractor has taken or proposes to take to avoid or mitigate the conflict, and any other pertinent information that would assist the Contracting Officer in making a determination on this matter. Upon timely disclosure from the Prime Contractor, the Government shall review a potential conflict on a case-by-case basis and issue a written determination in response. Notwithstanding the aforementioned Prime Contractor notification, the Government may terminate this contract for the convenience of the Government if determined to be in the best interest of the Government.
H.3 Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) Prohibition
(a) Prime Contractors are prohibited from being an OEM of any equipment being procured under this contract.
For purposes of this clause, an OEM is a company that;
(1) Manufactures a product procured under the TREX Prime Contracts with its brand name, or
(2) Resells another manufacturer’s product procured under the TREX Prime Contracts by rebranding that product to its own name and offering its own warranty, support, and licensing of the product, or
(3) Acquires a product or components and reuses or incorporates them into a new product procured under the TREX Prime Contracts with its own brand name, issuing the product its own part number.
(b) For the purpose of this clause, the term “Prime Contractor” is defined under H.2(c). For purposes of this
Prime Contract, an affiliation based upon a third party having control over two (or more) companies, and where at least one of the companies meets the definition of OEM defined in paragraph (a) above, does not in and of itself define both companies as OEMs, as long as the following conditions are met as determined by the Contracting Officer:
(1) Companies under the third party control remain separate legal entities with separate business systems, operating completely independent of each other,
(2) There is no interlocking management, shared facilities and equipment, common use of management or employees, or contractual relationships, and
(3) The potential and/or degree of risk associated with this new affiliation does not create an unfair competitive advantage for the other TREX Prime Contractors.
(c) If the Prime Contractor, after award, becomes affiliated with an OEM through a third party, and meets the criteria in paragraph (b) above, a prompt and full disclosure shall be made in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a description of the how and when the new affiliation was created, a detailed description that demonstrates how the affiliation meets the criteria outlined in paragraph (b) above, and any other pertinent information that would assist the Contracting Officer in making a determination on this matter. Upon timely disclosure from the Prime Contractor, the Government shall review the information on a case-by-case basis and issue a written decision in response. In addition to the provided information, the Contracting Officer will consider the degree of risk to maintaining fair competition across all Prime Contractors and administrative burden generated by this new affiliation (i.e. volume of that particular OEM’s equipment purchased under TREX, dollar value, how many orders would have to be analyzed to ensure reasonable pricing was offered by the OEM to all Prime Contractors, etc.) in order to determine if they meet or do not meet the definition of OEM based on the new affiliation.
H.4 Protecting and Handling Proprietary Information
(a) During contract performance the Prime Contractor may, either directly or through the Government, receive proprietary technical data and computer software (hereafter “proprietary information") of other contractors.
The Prime Contractor shall protect such proprietary information with the same caution that a reasonably prudent contractor would use to safeguard highly valuable property. Proprietary information shall not be duplicated, used or disclosed in whole or in part, without prior permission of the Government, for any purpose other than to perform this contract. This restriction does not limit the contractor's right to use, duplicate or disclose such information if such information was lawfully obtained by the Prime Contractor from other sources.
(b) The Prime Contractor shall enter into written agreements with all companies whose proprietary information it receives. In addition, the contractor shall obtain individual non-disclosure agreements (NDA) from all employees who have access to such data. The Prime Contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) copies of these NDAs. It is not the responsibility of the Government to request or be involved with drafting these NDAs.
(c) The Prime Contractor shall include this provision, including this paragraph, in subcontracts of any tier which involve access to information covered in paragraph (a) above. The use of this clause in such subcontracts shall be read by substituting the word "subcontractor" for the word "Prime Contractor" wherever the latter appears.

H.7 RESERVED
H.8 Exercise of “Off Ramp” Procedures To ensure success of the TREX Program, each TREX Prime Contractor is required to participate in the ordering process by submitting proposals in response to all DO/TO requests for proposals, to successfully perform their DO/TOs, and to promptly improve performance when it does not meet the terms of the DO/TOs. In order to achieve the Government's goal of maximum competition under this IDIQ for all DO/TOs, the annual assessment of performance will also take into consideration the number, value, and complexity of work assigned to each holder and amount of competition achieved.
On an annual basis, the Government will review the Prime Contractor's performance based upon information obtained from all evaluation areas in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reports in CPARS. If a Prime
Contractor receives "marginal" or "unsatisfactory" CPAR ratings in any assessment area it is the Government’s intent to “off-ramp” the Prime Contractor by:
(a) Prohibiting the Prime Contractor from competing on future DO/TOs under this IDIQ;
(b) Implementing a termination for convenience (if applicable and only if such action is in the Government’s best interest); or
(c) Taking any other action which may be permitted under the TREX Prime Contract’s terms and conditions.
H.9 OCONUS Support Over the life of this contract, the Prime Contractor may be required to provide full-time support OCONUS. In addition to the required full-time support, the Prime Contractor may be required to support OCONUS TDYs and deployments, as approved. The Prime Contractor shall comply with any theater business clearance and contract administration requirements set forth by the geographic combatant commander and host nation.
Bilateral agreements that govern the status of Prime Contractor employees, criminal jurisdiction, and taxation, as well as country clearance requirements vary by country and are subject to change. Procedures and requirements, by Area of Responsibility (AOR) and country can be found at https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pacc/cc/areas_of_responsibility.html and the DoD Foreign Clearance Guide:
https://www.fcg.pentagon.mil/fcg.cfm.
(a) For work performed in Germany, eligibility for logistics support or base privileges of Prime Contractor employees is governed by U.S.-German bilateral agreements. Follow the procedures at Army in Europe Regulation 715-9, available at http://www.eur.army.mil/g1/content/CPD/docper/docper_germanyLinks.html under “AE Regs & Resources.” The Prime Contractor shall ensure the Technical Expert Status Accreditation (TESA) requirements and application process are completed.
(b) For work performed in the United Kingdom, visas are required before PCSing to the UK. Failure to obtain a UK visa before arriving in the UK can result in denied entry or deportation. The UK visa, sometimes referred to as “entry stamp”, “entry visa”, “entry clearance”, “entry clearance stamp”, or “entry clearance visa” (which is separate from Country, Theater, or Special Area Clearance) must be obtained from the UK and is required for DoD-sponsored contractors and eligible family members.
(c) For work performed in Japan and Korea reference the Foreign Clearance Guide. For Japan, currently worked performed under this contract are covered by SOFA. For Korea, the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) Policy Guidance/Instructions must be followed (Reference Section I - Contract Clauses SOFA Korea Clause).
H.9.1 Synchronized Pre-deployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT) All contractor personnel authorized to accompany U.S. Armed Forces deployed outside the United States must be accounted for in the Synchronized Pre-deployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT) Program located at https://spot.altess.army.mil/. Per DFARS 252.225-7040. All Prime Contracts will be pre-loaded in SPOT by the KO. All contractors will be required to input the LOA requests per task order (TO), per employee in SPOT and send to the applicable COR for that TO. After COR approval the KO will finalize and sign the LOA in SPOT.
The Prime Contractors will each have a Point of Contact that will process the LOAs within the SPOT system. The COR will be assigned as the Government Authority and the KO approves the LOA within the system. A complete SPOT guide will be provided via email to all Prime Contractors for assistance.
The basic process for LOAs is three steps:
Step 1: COR registers in SPOT in the role of Government Authority and lists the Contracting Officer as the sponsor.
Step 2: All prime contracts will be loaded in SPOT by SOF AT&L-KH; we will pre-load authorizations, privileges per the contract, etc. and ensure all CORs are in the SPOT system.
Step 3: An LOA is requested as part of creating a deployment (from Prime Contractor) at the TO level. The LOA is assigned to a Government Authority user (the COR).
Step 4: The Government Authority (COR) reviews the LOA inbox and authorizes the LOA.
Step 5: The Contracting Officer then reviews the LOA, inserts the accounting data from the TO, and approves.
Once the KO approves the LOA it is digitally signed and available to be reviewed and printed.
H.9.2 Theater Business Clearance Clauses In accordance with DoD Policy and the CENTCOM Contracting Command (formerly the JCC-I/A), Theater Business Clearance (TBC) is required for contractor support in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Kuwait. TBC approval will be obtained by the Government prior to award. No action is required on the part of the Prime Contractor to receive approval. Specific TBC clauses are included within contract Attachment 7.
H.10 Procedures for Issuing, Evaluating, and Awarding DO/TOs (SOFARS 5652.216-9003 Procedures for Issuing DO/TO under Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity Contracts (2015)) Note: this clause has been modified to ensure compliance with latest FAR and DFARS requirements, as well as, insertion of the TREX specific criteria for all post Prime Contract Awards.
General.
This TREX Prime Contract is designed to meet the wide and varied needs of USSOCOM. As such, both Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Cost Type (i.e. Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) and/or Cost Reimbursable (CR)) DO/TOs may be awarded under this contract however, FFP will be the preferred contract type. The Government will determine the most appropriate DO/TO contract type for each effort. Within the limits prescribed by FAR 16.505, the Government may unilaterally deviate from these procedures at any time as required. The Government intends to award the first 4 orders, based on the 4 DO/TO proposals submitted with the Prime Contract proposal within 1 year after the Prime Contract awards are made and further discussions are not anticipated for the initial 4 DO/TO awards.
The basis of award of the 4 initial DO/TOs will be in accordance with H.10.3. The Contractor shall perform in accordance with the awarded DO/TO including all terms and conditions of the basic contract and any additional specific information awarded at the DO/TO level. DO/TOs may include option years and/or options for additional quantities as appropriate. The process for exercising DO/TO options is included in H.10.5.
H.10.1 Government Request for Order Proposals (Content and Transmission) When the Government has a requirement for work to be performed, the KO will issue an RFP containing: (1) an Instruction to Offerors (ITO) providing instructions for proposal submissions and general guidance; (2) the work to be performed via Statement of Work or other document that describes the Government’s requirements; (3) a Price Exhibit and (4) any other information considered to be of assistance to the Prime Contractor in preparing a proposal.
The RFP may be written or oral, and may be transmitted by any means including the mail, internet, e-mail, telephone, fax (unclassified or secure), or face-to-face.
Waivers.
Prime Contractors are required to submit a proposal for every requirement solicited without conflict unless granted a waiver in advance by the KO. The Prime Contractor can request a waiver by submitting a detailed statement supporting the request to the KO. All detailed statements are required to be submitted to the KO prior to the required proposal submission date/time. The only valid means for an awardee to not submit a proposal is to be granted a waiver by the KO. Fast submission timelines does not constitute a valid reason for not providing a detailed statement of reason(s) in requesting a waiver.
Ordering Authority.
DO/TOs under this IDIQ will be issued only by SOF AT&L-KI Division and its KOs are responsible for the overall contract and all DO/TOs. Ordering Authority has been NOT been granted to any other SOF AT&L-K Division.
H.10.2 Submission of Order Proposals All proposal submissions are required to be emailed, unless otherwise stated in the ITO or contains classified information. Unless otherwise specified in the ITO, the Prime Contractor shall have ten business days to submit its proposal. Some requirements may require a 1-5 business day submission (quick reaction orders, urgent or unplanned requirements, etc.).
H.10.2.1 Standard Requirements for all order Proposals Formats and File Naming Conventions:
All DO/TO proposal submissions require a very short naming convention in order for the Contracting Office to open the documents within the official electronic contract files. All file names shall include the company name (or easily recognizable abbreviation).
Format of the proposal submissions (and any resulting responses to Evaluations Notices (ENs)) shall be as follows:
Text size shall be no smaller than what is equivalent to Microsoft Word, Times New Roman, 11 point, uncompressed font.
Pages (to include Cover Pages) shall be single sided, one and one half spaced, with a minimum of one inch margins on all sides.
Text size and spacing requirements do not apply to header and footer text.
Pages shall be dated and numbered sequentially by volume.
Proposal table of contents, cover page, acronym lists, compliance matrices, and tab dividers are not included in the page count.
Elaborate format, color representations, and bindings are not desirable. Three ring binders are preferred per Volume for required print copies. The pages in the binders shall be easily removed and replaced to facilitate page changes.
Legible tables, charts, graphs and figures shall be used when necessary to depict organizations, systems and layout, implementation schedules, plans, etc. These displays shall be uncomplicated, legible, may be single spaced, and shall not exceed 11 by 17 inches in size. Foldout pages shall fold entirely within the Volume, and count as two pages. Foldout pages may only be used for large tables, charts, graphs, diagrams and schematics; not for pages of text. For tables, charts, graphs and figures, the text shall be no smaller than 8 point Arial font.
Electronic copies must be provided on compact disks, read-only memory. Microsoft Office presentation and spreadsheet products are preferred. PDF files where Microsoft Office formats are not available are acceptable.
H.10.2.2 Proposal Content Unless the ITO indicates otherwise, proposals will consist of a technical volume and a cost/price volume. Alternate DO/TO proposals are only allowed if stated in the ITO. All proposals shall have a validity period stated on the proposal. A minimum of 30 days after proposal submission is required, unless otherwise stated on the ITO.
Technical Volume:
The offeror shall submit a technical proposal describing the Contractor’s Management approach to meet the applicable DO/TO SOW and Exhibit requirements. The management approach shall clearly address the following areas: How the offeror will purchase, integrate (as applicable per DO/TO), and deliver the equipment to include a proposed schedule and delivery date. In addition, offerors shall perform detailed configuration management of the equipment items listed IAW the Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB)s provided (as applicable). Offerors shall identify any discrepancies, to include changes in equipment configurations provided in the IPBs or Exhibit, and shall resolve any missing / incomplete information from this information provided with the vendor(s) / supplier(s) who is(are) responsible for the end item(s). Offerors shall provide the corrected data elements, configuration file updates, pictures of new equipment, etc. (as required) in order to provide a complete response. A confirmation statement shall be provided to ensure that all proposed configurations include all required hardware as outlined in each DO/TO Exhibit and IPB. Offerors shall address any additional requirements specifically outlined in the ITO, such as brand name “or equal”, warranties, etc. If the ITO requires a completed Section J, Attachment J-3, Warranty Tracking Information, this document shall be provided separately in Microsoft Excel format IAW the applicable DFARs PGI instructions.
The Technical Volume is limited to 5 pages + “or equal” submissions + Warranty Information + Configuration Supporting Documents if required.
Cost/Price – The offerors shall submit a cost/price proposal, which shall include pricing for all Exhibit Line Item Numbers (ELINS) listed on the Exhibit as well as a total. Offerors shall not re-format, delete existing formulas, or remove cells from the exhibit. All cells containing cost/price shall be rounded to two decimal places. Submission of the cost/price data shall be complete and accurate. Each ITO will inform offerors of the contract type. Some ELINS include the individual components required in a Kit. Offerors shall submit pricing for those individual components in addition to the total ELIN (kit) price. In the event an offeror is unable to provide individual component pricing for an ELIN, the offeror shall submit a detailed request (to include proof – Quote, Confirmation statement from OEM, etc.) explaining why they can’t provide this pricing to the Contracting Officer during the solicitation phase to waive this requirement on a component by component basis. Only the total ELIN price shall be included within the total DO/TO price. Offerors shall submit pricing for all ELINS as well as a total price per DO/TO.
Offerors are required to validate that the items identified on the ELIN Price Matrix are available for purchase in the required quantities. NOTE: This validation is required for and only applies to any and all Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) items and must be provided at the time of proposal submission. In the event items will not be available for delivery, the offeror shall include in the Cost/Price Volume a completed Errata Sheet identifying each affected ELIN/Component/Subcomponent/item. If no items are identified, insert “NO ITEMS IDENTIFIED” on the Errata Sheet. If no Errata Sheet is included in the proposal the offeror will be ineligible for award.
Offeror shall adhere to payment terms and invoicing processes listed in the Base IDIQ and ITO.
SOCOM will not incorporate, attach, or otherwise reference an offeror’s proposal in any subsequent award.
Dictating terms not listed or in violation of the Prime Contract, Prime Contract SOW, ITO, or other requirement documents will result in an evaluation determination of “Technically Unacceptable” (If Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process is used) or be evaluated as a Deficiency (If the Tradeoff process is used).
FFP Orders:
Price shall be inclusive of all direct (i.e., direct labor, material, travel, and ODC) and associated indirect costs plus profit related to the DO/TO. All ELIN equipment unit prices must reflect all costs associated with the purchase, inspection, test, documentation, and shipment of hardware or software. Requests for Subcontractor Quotes may be requested in the ITO.
Cost Orders:
Offeror shall submit information other than cost or pricing data. Offeror shall show a clear buildup of all direct and indirect costs being proposed, to include fee. Indirect proposed rates for labor shall be based upon the business unit’s forward pricing rate recommendations as approved by DCMA or forward pricing rate agreements that are in effect at the time of the task order RFP submission, if applicable. Requests for Subcontractor Quotes may be requested in the
ITO.
H.10.3 Government Evaluation of Order Proposals The KO and the requiring activity will analyze the proposals and issue a DO/TO to the contractor whose offer provides the best value to the Government as described in the ITO. The evaluations will be conducted utilizing either LPTA or Trade-off processes in order to make the best value determination and will be outlined in the ITO. It is estimated that best value will be defined as LPTA for approximately 90% of the DO/TOs awarded.
All DO/TO proposals shall contain all information required to conduct an overall DO/TO evaluation, including all details related to price or cost as applicable. If required, negotiations or discussions may be conducted prior to issuance of any order. The standard evaluation of orders will be a technical review of proposed approach to meet SOW requirements (technical proposal), past performance (TREX orders only beginning in the second contract year may be used; information will be pulled from CPARs), and proposed cost/price, unless other criteria are stated in the
ITO.
The KO may:
Issue a DO/TO based upon the initial proposal, Open discussions or negotiate with all or some offerors Reject the proposal(s), or Cancel the requirement and notify all offerors
DO/TOs will be sent electronically to the contractor.
If an Offeror submits a proposal volume that is over the maximum amount allowed per that volume, then the KO will start counting pages, beginning with the first page provided with the volume (not including a cover page). Once the maximum amount of pages has been reached, all remaining pages will be deleted/removed and the evaluation team will not evaluate them. Excess page removal may result in an unfavorable evaluation.
DEVIATION of H.10.3 Initial 4 Delivery Orders Following Prime Contract award(s) the Government will determine the best value of the initial 4 delivery orders, based on the delivery order proposals and discussions conducted (if conducted) during the overall source selection for the Prime Contract award(s). The Government will utilize the same final color/risk ratings for Factor 3 and Final proposed price for Factor 4 per subfactor (DO), assessed during the source selection for the Prime Contract award(s). For the initial 4 delivery orders, Delivery Order Management (Factor 3) is significantly less important than Delivery Order Price (Factor 4).
H.10.4 Authorization to Proceed (ATP) on Orders In time-critical circumstances, after award decision and prior to the Prime Contractor’s receipt of the contractual instrument, the KO may direct the Prime Contractor in writing, verbally, or electronically, to commence performance of the DO/TO. If verbally authorized to proceed, it will be reiterated as soon as practical via electronic means by the KO. Otherwise, the Prime Contractor is not authorized to commence performance prior to the issuance of the DO/TO or other written or electronic notice provided by the KO. In no case shall the Prime Contractor commence work without explicit approval from the KO.
Prime Contractors must ensure that all subcontracts and/or purchase orders (to include negotiation of terms and conditions, prices, etc.) are finalized and issued to the necessary OEM, vendors, and/or suppliers in order to meet the requirements of the applicable DO/TO within 30 calendar days after receipt of either the signed DO/TO or official ATP from the KO (whichever occurs first).
H.10.5 Option Exercises at the Order Level will be accomplished in accordance with FAR subpart 17.207.
DO/TO option periods will be outlined in each DO/TO ITO. In accordance with FAR 17.207 the KO must make certain determinations prior to exercising any options. Accordingly, prior to exercising a DO/TO option the Prime Contractor may be required to provide supporting data (e.g. market research, pricing data) to assist the KO with the determinations.
H.10.6 Order Completion Within 90 days after the completion of FFP DO/TOs, an authorized representative of the contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing that the DO/TO is completely billed, remaining dollars of said amount can be de-obligated (if applicable) and all deliverables have been received and accepted by the Government. This information will be used as part of the final required documentation for contract closeout. The final closeout proposal shall include itemized Accounting Classification Reference Number (ACRN) de-obligations at the CLIN level per DO/TO. CPFF DO/TOs will be closed out in accordance with DCMA and DCAA procedures.
H.10.7 Fair Opportunity Exceptions All multiple award Prime Contractors shall be considered for each DO/TO over $3,500.00, unless the KO determines that an exception applies IAW FAR subpart 16.505 (2)(b)(2).
H.10.8 Order Protests and Ombudsman Under the provisions of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, protests are not authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of DO/TO except for a protest on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract or, a protest of an order valued in excess of $25 million. Protests of orders in excess of $25 million may only be filed with the Government Accountability Office, in accordance with the procedures at FAR 33.104.
The Order Ombudsman is responsible for reviewing complaints regarding this IDIQ. The Ombudsman shall review complaints from the contractors and ensure all contractors are afforded a fair opportunity to be considered, consistent with the procedures of the contract.
H.11 SOFARS 5652.209-9003 Use of Contractor Support/Advisory Personnel (2015) The contractor’s attention is directed to the fact that USSOCOM contracts for various IT, business, acquisition, technical, and staff support services, some of which require support contractor access to proprietary information submitted by other contractors during administration of this contract. Execution of this contract constitutes approval to release the contract, contractor proposals, other contractor information, or proprietary data obtained during contract administration to Government Support Contractors who require access and have signed Non-Disclosure and Rules of Conduct/Conflict of Interest Statements.
