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

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 07 - Contractor Monitoring and

Trouble Reporting - DEC 2022 Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) shall utilize its existing Network Operations Centers (NOCs) to monitor and manage the performance of this service 24 hours a day/7 day a week/365 days a year including holidays and weekends

(24/7/365) to ensure that services are delivered and maintained in accordance with the contract/order. The Contractor/TP shall provide the Government its 24/7/365 trouble reporting number to assist with troubleshooting technical issues.

ACCEPTABLE TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND," and provide contractor trouble reporting number.

DITCO ADDITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS TEXT - 12 - One-Stop-Shopping/End-to-End

Service - DEC 2022 U.S. Government's preference is to obtain this service on a "One-Stop-Shopping" (OSS) or end-to-end service basis. Under an

OSS or end-to-end arrangement, Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) receiving this contract shall have total responsibility for end-to-end technical sufficiency and invoicing (i.e., end-to-end provisioning, restoral/maintenance, and invoicing) for entire service.

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 16 APR 2029.

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.
