DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 02 - Understanding of DITCO IQO

Acquisition Deskbook - DEC 2022 Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) acknowledges it has read and understands the current published "DITCO

Inquiry/Quote/Order (IQO) Acquisition Deskbook" version 8.0 available from the DISA Procurement Directorate web site https://www.ditco.disa.mil/. Contractor agrees that the most recent DITCO Additional Telecommunications Text as set forth in this order take precedent over any conflicting terms and conditions in the Basic Agreement.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND."

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 27 - Approvals and Permits - DEC

Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) receiving this contract shall be responsible for having or obtaining all approvals and permits necessary to provide this service for the life of the contract. The requirement that the TP obtain all approvals and permits is a contract administration issue. Inability of Contractor/TP to obtain any such approval or permit shall not be a valid basis for not meeting service date or providing service. Failure of a Contractor/TP to obtain any approval or permit necessary to provide this service may result in termination of this contract by U.S. Government for default at no cost to U.S. Government and/or receipt of a negative past performance rating.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND/WILL COMPLY.

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 30 - Contract Period - DEC 2022 This telecommunications service contract shall continue on a month-to-month basis with a not to exceed date of 3 Sep 28. After this period the contract will be considered expired with no authority for service to continue unless the U.S. Government issues a modification to extend. Should service continue through the end of this contract period, no modification will be issued to authorize discontinuance of service. The minimum service period shall be one month. Accordingly, the U.S. Government may discontinue service, at no additional cost to U.S. Government. U.S. Government will provide Contractor/Telecommunications

Provider (TP) 30 days' notice prior to discontinuing service before the not to exceed period. Contractors shall consider the ability of the Government to discontinue service with 30 days' notice when determining the reasonableness of incurring any costs. See

DFARS 252.239-7007, Cancellation or Termination of Orders.

Quotes/Proposals that do not accept the minimum one-month service period may be excluded from the competition and found unacceptable. The U.S. Government may consider quotes/proposals with a minimum service period greater than one month, when the Contracting Officer determines it is to the benefit of the U.S. Government. Thus, a Contractor/Telecommunications

Provider (TP) may provide more than one quote/proposal; one at a rate that accepts the minimum one-month service period, and others at rates that propose a different minimum service period.

The Government reserves the right to re-solicit these contracted services prior to the end of the not to exceed contract period when commercial market pricing demonstrates these services become available at lower prices.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND/WILL COMPLY."

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 33 - Notice of Completion - DEC

DISA's acknowledgement of the Contractor/TP's representation of delayed performance is not an explicit or implicit acceptance of the performance delay nor is it a waiver of any rights or remedies allowed under the contract, the FAR, or applicable case law.

Moreover, it is not an acknowledgment that DISA is responsible for any part of the Contractor/TP's delayed performance.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATION PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND/WILL COMPLY."

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 41 - Scheduled Outages - MAY

To ensure this service is available to support U.S. Government requirements, Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) shall utilize alternate or spare facilities whenever possible to eliminate or minimize service interruptions. However, when a scheduled service interruption cannot be avoided, Contractor/TP shall obtain the approval of appropriate approval authority before initiating any scheduled outage. To obtain such approval, a written "circuit release request" must be submitted to appropriate approval authority at least 21 calendar days prior to requested circuit release date.

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 52 - Approved Products List - DEC

Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 8100.04, DoD Unified Capabilities, (December 9, 2010), establishes governing policy for products and services that support and connect to the DoD Information Network (DoDIN). DoDI 8100.04 also sets forth instructions that are implemented by the Defense Capabilities Requirement (formerly the Unified Capabilities Requirement document), the DoDIN Approved Products List (APL), and the DoDIN Service Provider Equipment (SPE) List. The DoDIN APL lists products that have been certified for Cybersecurity and Interoperability and are approved for use within and on DoD networks. The DoDIN SPE lists products that may be used to interface with the DoDIN when used by Internet Service Providers

(ISP) or other Telecommunications Providers. For the purposes of this solicitation, equipment at the point of interface with the

Government's network must conform to either the DoDIN APL or the DoDIN SPE.

CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) must list all equipment the TP or any subcontractor will use at the point of interface with the Government's network. The Government has the right to evaluate the list of equipment at the point of interface with the Government's network to ensure it is compliant with either the DoDIN APL or the DoDIN SPE. A TP's failure to list equipment used at the point of interface with the Government's network, or inclusion of equipment not on the DoDIN APL or the DoDIN SPE, may result in the TP being deemed not technically acceptable. Additionally, during the period of performance, service delivery, and contract administration, the TP is required to ensure the TP and all subcontractors use only equipment that conforms to DoDIN APL or DoDIN SPE requirements at the point of interface with the Government's network. If at any time during the performance of this contract/order the specified equipment will not be in compliance with the requirements of this provision, the TP must notify the Contracting Officer prior to installation. The Government has the right to review the equipment used at any time during this contract/order. When determined by the Government that an exception is in the Government's best interest, the Government or the TP may seek an exception to policy in accordance with DoDI 8100.04 or the DoDIN APL

Process Guide to allow the TP to use equipment beneficial to the Government's mission.

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 53 - Critical Infrastructure

Compliance - JUL 2019 A critical element of our national security is the security of America's communications networks. Threats to the security of our nation's communications networks posed by certain telecommunications equipment or service providers are a matter of concern as reflected in both Executive Branch regulations and Congressional legislation.

In order to protect against national security threats to our nation's communication networks, and comply with federal law, DISA will not procure, obtain, extend, or renew a contract to procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system.

The term "covered telecommunications equipment or services" is defined in the National Defense Authorization Act ("2019

NDAA"), Pub. L. 115-232, Sec. 889, and, among others, includes telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei

Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities). However, as indicated in the 2019

NDAA, the above prohibition does not prohibit the U.S. Government from contracting with an entity providing a service that connects to the facilities of a third-party, such as backhaul, roaming, or interconnection arrangements. For the purposes of this solicitation, interconnection arrangement means that the prime Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP)'s solution links its own 2019 NDAA compliant circuit/network through an entrance facility, to a third-party TP's circuit/network to deliver telecommunications service between the prime Contractor/TP's customers and the third-party TP's customers. Backhaul means the Contractor/TP's solution links its own 2019 NDAA compliant circuit/network through an entrance facility, to a third-party TP's circuit/network, and uses a portion of the third-party TP's circuit/network for delivery of service that again connects to the prime

Contractor/TP's network/customers. See e.g., Pac. Bell Tel. Co. v. Cal. PUC, 621 F.3d 836, 842 (9th Cir. 2010).

In order to be eligible for (contract) award, contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) must certify in writing in its quote/proposal the following:

1. Not including backhaul, roaming, or interconnection arrangements with third parties, Contractor/TP does not propose any solution that uses any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system or as critical technology as part of any system, or the Contractor/TP has obtained a waiver in accordance with the 2019 NDAA.

2. Telecommunications equipment the Contractor/TP will use for providing the service proposed is not from a "covered foreign country," i.e. China.

3. For the service requested in this solicitation, Contractor/TP does not produce or provide "covered telecommunications equipment or services".

4. Even if the prime Contractor/TP's solution relies upon the exception of backhaul, roaming, or interconnection arrangements for delivery of some portion of the circuit/network, the solution will not use Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei

Technologies Company, ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities), or other covered telecommunications equipment/service on U.S. Government camps/posts/stations, or that directly connects to U.S. Government facilities.

During evaluation and administration of any resulting contract, the Government may consult other sources to determine whether the Contractor/TP is in compliance with the certification. Furthermore, the Government may inspect the Contractor/TP's equipment or services in accordance with the terms of the contract/ order that will result from this contracting opportunity. Failure to comply with the certification may result in termination of the contract for default or cause. If the Government determines that the security risks caused by the Contractor/TP's failure to comply with the certification can be eliminated or significantly reduced, then the Government shall require the contractor to take all necessary measures to mitigate such risks. Mitigation measures shall include removal and replacement of "covered telecommunications equipment" at no cost to the Government
