STANDARD PROVISION - 02 - UNDERSTANDING OF DITCO IQO ACQUISITION

DESKBOOK - APR 2019

Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) acknowledges it has read and understands the current published "DITCO

Inquiry/Quote/Order (IQO) Acquisition Deskbook" version 7.1 available from the Integrated Defense Enterprise Acquisition

System (IDEAS) Contractor web site https://depsland.csd.disa.mil/html/vendor/vendorreference.html. Contractor agrees that the most recent Standard Provisions as set forth in this order take precedent over any conflicting terms and conditions in the BA.

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

STANDARD PROVISION - 03 - TARIFF INFORMATION - AUG 2015

A. The prices agreed upon at time of award shall be the prices the Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) shall have filed or may file in applicable tariffs with appropriate regulatory authority.

B. The Contractor/TP shall indicate whether service will be provided under a filed tariff or a tariff to be filed with the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) or Public Utilities Commission (PUC) as applicable.

(1) If the prices contained in the Contractor/TP’s quote are under existing tariffs, these prices shall be footnoted to indicate the applicable tariff, section, paragraphs(s) and page number(s) with their revision number.

(2) If the prices contained in the Contractor/TP’s quote are not filed tariffs, state whether they are to be added to

Contractor/TP's existing tariffs (provide tariff number).

(3) If the prices are to be filed as a special tariff, a copy of the proposed special tariff shall be provided to DITCO electronically along with the quote or, in the event that it cannot be provided, the proposed special tariff page(s) shall be sent separately to the

DITCO Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer. Absence of the special tariff page(s) with the quote shall not be considered as non-responsive; however, page(s) should be received within five days after receipt of the quote.

C. Any tariff that contains a provision with a minimum service period will not be allowed. Quotes containing tariffs with such a minimum service period must have that period portion of the tariff waved in order to be considered for evaluation.

D. Any quote which contains a rate reduction from the existing approved rate must include a statement as to which rate will apply (i.e., for billing purposes) effective on the date of service. No further documentation is required if the reduced rate will be filed in a tariff beginning on the service date. If, however, the reduced rate cannot be billed until after regulatory authority approval, the quote should state 1) by what date the company would expect to obtain approval (and commensurate billing begin) and 2) what assurance can be provided to suggest the validity of that projected bill.

E. Should an Order be issued based on a quote containing a proposed rate reduction from the existing tariff (domestic or foreign) and that proposed rate reduction is later disapproved, resulting in that quote no longer being low, the government has the right to cancel/terminate the Order at no costs to the Government.

F. In advance of any tariff change applicable to this contract, the Contractor shall provide electronic notification, with the tariff transmittal and accompanying pages, to the DITCO Tariff Team at disa.scott.ditco.mbx.tariffs@mail.mil, subject line: Tariff

Transmittal for Continental United States (CONUS) requirements or to the DITCO Contracting Office at disa.stuttgart.ditco.mbx.pl511@mail.mil,subject line: Tariff Transmittal for OCONUS requirements.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: “UNDERSTAND/WILL COMPLY” and provide requested tariff documents with the quote including the name of the foreign telecommunications provider with whom contractor has an operating agreement, if applicable.

STANDARD PROVISION - 04 - QUOTE PREPARATION - AUG 2017

Contractor/ TP quote shall respond to each paragraph of this Inquiry separately and to each subparagraph under section M (additional information) separately if applicable. Contractor/TP shall agree to satisfy all technical aspects of Inquiry. Any technical aspects of Inquiry that Contractor/TP is unable or unwilling to satisfy shall be addressed by Contractor/TP. Contractor/TP shall indicate whether it can provide service within XX days after award. If Contractor/TP cannot meet service date, Contractor/TP shall indicate date that it can provide service. If

Contractor/TP's ability to meet a requested date is dependent upon receipt of an Order or Circuit Demand by a certain date, this condition shall be stated in quote.

All charges quoted shall be understood to be firm fixed price (FFP) for the life of the contract. Firm fixed price quotes must account for all applicable charges (e.g., charges from Subcontractors or other Contractors/TPs, taxes, surcharges, universal service fund, fees, etc.), and these charges may not be billed separately. All charges shall state quantity and costs per unit as non-recurring charges (NRC) and monthly recurring charges (MRC). Charges not included in quote shall not be added to subsequent invoices, and U.S. Government shall not be obligated to pay charges that are not specified in quote and authorized in resultant Order or Circuit Demand. A Contractor's/TP's quote may be determined unacceptable if the quote takes exception to any of the terms of the Inquiry, if the quote fails to meet any requirements, or if the quote presents any ambiguity or uncertainty regarding the Contractor's/TP's intention to meet requirements.

Quotes must clearly state up front whether the quote contains tariff charges. Tariff charges must be listed at time of proposal, all other charges are considered firm fixed price. Charges required by tariffs must be identified in the quote, with the effective date, National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) ; and include the applicable tariff reference by name, section, paragraph, revision number, and effective date of each page. Additionally, any future tariff changes will be electronically submitted, with the tariff transmittal and accompanying pages, to disa.scott.ditco.mbx.tariffs@mail.mil, subject line: tariff transmittal.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND," and provide Quote by due date and time.

STANDARD PROVISION - 21 - QUOTES RECEIVED AFTER DUE DATE AND

WITHDRAWALS OF QUOTES - AUG 2015

It is the responsibility of each Contractor/Telecommunication Provider (TP) to provide its quote (or any modification or revision) to the DITCO Contracting Office that issued Inquiry by quote due date. Accordingly, U.S. Government is not obligated to consider any quote or revised quote received after quote due date.

Contractor/TP may withdraw its quote at any time prior to U.S. Government issuing an Order or Circuit Demand. Upon receipt of a written quote withdrawal notification from a Contractor/TP, quote will be withdrawn and eliminated from further consideration by U.S. Government.

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

STANDARD PROVISION - 23 - EVALUATION OF QUOTES-TECHNICAL/SERVICE

DATE/PRICE - AUG 2017

After receipt of quotations, the Government will first evaluate the lowest price quotation. If the lowest price quotation is determined to be technically acceptable and otherwise properly awardable, award will be made to that offeror. The Government reserves the right to evaluate only the lowest price quotation or to conduct further evaluations of additional quotations. Quotes received in response to this Inquiry will be evaluated for technical acceptability, commitment to meet the required service date, and total price. Government contractor support may be utilized to analyze technical and price aspects of quotes submitted. The

Government intends to issue an Order/Circuit Demand to the Contractor/Telecommunication Provider (TP) whose quote is determined to be the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote that meets the government's service date. In the event that none of the quotes meets required service date, U.S. Government may consider quotes that agree to provide service on a date later than required service date. For evaluation purposes, total price will be determined by adding charges contained in the

Quote (NRC, MRC, and any expedite charges) for the total not to exceed contract period (i.e., not to exceed service life or term, as appropriate).

The Government intends to evaluate quotations and award a contract without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions or seek clarifications if the Contracting Officer (KO) determines they are necessary. If discussions are required, the number of quotations being competitively considered may be narrowed to the most highly rated quotations. The Government further reserves the right to reduce the number of quotations being competitively considered to the greatest number that will permit efficient competition among the most highly rated quotations. If an offeror's quotation is removed from further consideration for award, written notice of the removal will be provided to the offeror. In the event issues pertaining to a proposed inquiry cannot be resolved to the KO's satisfaction, the Government reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the proposed inquiry. In such event, offerors will be notified in writing.

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

STANDARD PROVISION - 27 - APPROVALS AND PERMITS - AUG 2017

Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) receiving this contract shall be responsible for having or obtaining all approvals and permits necessary to provide this service. 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.

STANDARD PROVISION - 30 - CONTRACT PERIOD - AUG 2017

This telecommunications service contract shall continue on a month to month basis with a not to exceed date of_60 MONTHS.

After this period the contract will be considered expired with no authority for service to continue unless mutually agreeable by both parties. 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 that do not accept the minimum one month service period may be excluded from the competition and found unacceptable. In the event U.S. Government is unable to obtain quotes that meet this minimum service period, U.S.

Government may consider quotes with a minimum service period greater than one month.

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."

STANDARD PROVISION - 33 - COMPLETION NOTICE - AUG 2017

Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) shall provide a completion notice to DITCO within 72 hours of delivering service to

U.S. Government acceptance activity. The customer then has an additional 72 hours to notify DITCO if they disagree that the service is complete. A completion notice must include following information: (1) Contract PIID number; (2) DITCO CSA number,

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."

STANDARD PROVISION - 38 - STATUS REPORT - AUG 2017

(3) TSR number, (4) contracted service date, (5) explanation of current status of telecommunications service installation and how current status provides assurance that contracted service date will be met, and (6) name, phone number, and e-mail address of Contractor/TP representative to contact for any questions concerning the status report.

STANDARD PROVISION - 41 - SCHEDULED OUTAGES - AUG 2017

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.

When an interruption of service is required to correct hazardous or degraded conditions, a 48-hour prior notification is required, if practicable. Contractor/TP shall notify the U.S. Government service acceptance activity as soon as it is known that a service interruption will occur. The request from Contractor/TP must include the same information as identified below, and additionally, identify the hazardous or degraded conditions that exist which preclude providing the U.S. Government with 21-day advance notice.

In emergency situations, when loss of life or property might occur through lack of immediate action, Contractor/TP must make every reasonable attempt to notify the U.S. Government service acceptance activity identified on the CSA immediately, and coordinate arrangements for the service interruption to the maximum extent possible. Within five business days of the interruption, Contractor/TP must submit the same information as identified below, and additionally, identify the emergency conditions that existed which precluded providing the U.S. Government with 21-day advance notice.

"Circuit Release Request" must include following information: (1) Contractor/TP requesting circuit release, and name and phone number of Contractor/TP representative responsible for managing circuit release; (2) Contract PIID number; (3) DITCO CSA number of circuit for which release is being requested; (4) date and inclusive times of scheduled circuit release, along with an alternate circuit release date and time; (5) purpose of scheduled circuit release; (6) statement indicating all equipment, parts, and/or supplies required to complete action are on-hand, or their expected delivery date; (7) statement indicating that all avenues of bypass capability (e.g., alternate facilities, spare facilities, etc.) Have been considered; and (8) estimated maximum recovery time to restore circuit. The authority for approving circuit releases for this service is U.S. Government CCO/CMO.

Failure of Contractor/TP to obtain an approved circuit release prior to initiating a scheduled outage may result in U.S.

Government termination of this contract for default at no cost to U.S. Government and/or receipt of a negative past performance rating.

STANDARD PROVISION - 42 - CONSIDERATION - AUG 2015

Upon Contractor/telecommunications Provider (TP) caused failure to provide telecommunications service by the specified date in the contract, failure to make progress as to endanger performance by that date, or failure to comply with any contract terms or conditions; U.S. Government may cancel or terminate this contract pursuant to contract clause DFARS 252.239-7007 at no cost to the Government. However, U.S. Government may elect to waive its right to cancel or terminate and request Contractor/TP to provide consideration to U.S. Government in lieu thereof. Consideration will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. If

Contractor/TP fails to meet the service date or comply with any contract terms or conditions and U.S. Government elects to request consideration, Contractor/TP hereby agrees to negotiate in good faith and provide such consideration. Quotes, which fail to accept this standard provision, may be excluded from consideration for award.

STANDARD PROVISION - 52 - APPROVED PRODUCTS LIST - JUL 2019

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.

VENDOR/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.

STANDARD PROVISION - 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
