252.237-7023 CONTINUATION OF ESSENTIAL CONTRACTOR SERVICES (OCT 2010)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause-

(1) Essential contractor service means a service provided by a firm or individual under contract to DoD to support mission-essential functions, such as support of vital systems, including ships owned, leased, or operated in support of military missions or roles at sea; associated support activities, including installation, garrison, and base support services; and similar services provided to foreign military sales customers under the Security Assistance Program. Services are essential if the effectiveness of defense systems or operations has the potential to be seriously impaired by the interruption of these services, as determined by the appropriate functional commander or civilian equivalent.

(2) Mission-essential functions means those organizational activities that must be performed under all circumstances to achieve DoD component missions or responsibilities, as determined by the appropriate functional commander or civilian equivalent. Failure to perform or sustain these functions would significantly affect DoD's ability to provide vital services or exercise authority, direction, and control.

(b) The Government has identified all or a portion of the contractor services performed under this contract as essential contractor services in support of mission-essential functions. These services are listed in attachment 11, Mission-Essential Contractor Services, dated 09 DEC 25.

(c)(1) The Mission-Essential Contractor Services Plan submitted by the Contractor, is incorporated in this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall maintain and update its plan as necessary. The Contractor shall provide all plan updates to the Contracting Officer for approval.

(3) As directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall participate in training events, exercises, and drills associated with Government efforts to test the effectiveness of continuity of operations procedures and practices.

(d)(1) Notwithstanding any other clause of this contract, the Contractor shall be responsible to perform those services identified as essential contractor services during crisis situations (as directed by the Contracting Officer), in accordance with its Mission-Essential Contractor Services Plan.

(2) In the event the Contractor anticipates not being able to perform any of the essential contractor services identified in accordance with paragraph (b) of this clause during a crisis situation, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer or other designated representative as expeditiously as possible and use its best efforts to cooperate with the Government in the Government's efforts to maintain the continuity of operations.

(e) The Government reserves the right in such crisis situations to use Federal employees, military personnel, or contract support from other contractors, or to enter into new contracts for essential contractor services.

(f) Changes. The Contractor shall segregate and separately identify all costs incurred in continuing performance of essential services in a crisis situation. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of an increase or decrease in costs within ninety days after continued performance has been directed by the Contracting Officer, or within any additional period that the Contracting Officer approves in writing, but not later than the date of final payment under the contract. The Contractor's notice shall include the Contractor's proposal for an equitable adjustment and any data supporting the increase or decrease in the form prescribed by the Contracting Officer. The parties shall negotiate an equitable price adjustment to the contract price, delivery schedule, or both as soon as is practicable after receipt of the Contractor's proposal.

(g) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (g), in subcontracts for the essential services.

G1 POINTS OF CONTACT (FEB 2025)

Communications with the Contractor will be conducted with the identified Point(s) of Contact (POC). Should a change in POC be required, the Contractor shall initiate this request through notification to the Contracting Officer.

G2 LINE ITEM AND CONTRACT/ORDER CLOSEOUT (OCT 2021)

Dormant and/or excess funds consist of funds that are primarily in “expired” or “cancelled” status. Expired funds are no longer available for new obligations, but are available for upward adjustments and payments on prior obligations to include payments on contractor invoices. Cancelled funds are no longer available for upward adjustments to obligations or to pay contractor invoices.

Timely contract closeout of the entire contract/order and of completed individual contract line item number(s) (CLIN) and/or sub line item number(s) (SLIN) is a priority under this contract/order. As such, the Contractor shall submit a final invoice no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the expiration of this contract/order and/or at the expiration of any individual CLIN(s)/SLIN(s) that expire before the final expiration of the contract/order (i.e., end item(s) was scheduled to be delivered or the period of performance (base or option year) was completed), unless the Contractor requests and is granted a written extension by the Contracting Officer. In addition, and concurrent with the submission of the final invoice for a specific CLIN/SLIN or for the contract/order in its entirety, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of the amount of excess funds that can be deobligated from the CLIN/SLIN or contract/order so the deobligation of any excess funds can be completed as soon as possible.

After ninety (90) days from expiration of a CLIN/SLIN, end item delivery, or contract/order in its entirety, unless an extension had been requested and granted by the Contracting Officer in writing, a bilateral contract/order modification to deobligate excess funds and/or closeout the contract/order in its entirety will be forwarded to the Contractor by the Contracting Officer. The modification must be signed and returned to the Contracting Officer within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt . A Contractor’s failure to respond and/or sign the bilateral modification within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt will constitute approval of the terms of the modification and the modification will subsequently be processed unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to deobligate excess funds and/or closeout the contract/order.

For cost reimbursement CLINs/SLINs, contracting officers will use FAR 42.708, Quick-closeout procedures to the maximum extent possible after the contract/order is physically complete. Should the contract/order require audit/review (e.g., audits conducted by the Defense Contract Audit Agency), excess funds/balances from CLIN(s)/SLIN(s) that are not required to satisfy potential adjustments as a result of the review/audit will be removed from the CLIN(s)/SLIN(s) through a bilateral modification. The modification will be forwarded by the Contracting Officer and must be signed by the Contractor and returned within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. A Contractor’s failure to respond within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt will constitute approval of the terms of the modification and the modification will subsequently be processed unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to remove the excess funds/balances on the associated CLINs/SLINs. If the Contractor disagrees with amount for deobligation they will notify the Contracting Officer promptly with the proposed amount and rationale for deobligation.

Communications with the Contractor will be conducted with the identified Point(s) of Contact (POC) identified in G1 of this contract/order. Should a change in POC be required, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer.

G4 SUBMITTING CREDITS TO DISA – WAWF CONTRACTS (DEC 2023)

If the contractor owes DISA money, the following methods shall be used to process the credit. These are the only methods approved for processing credits; checks will not be accepted.

1. Include Credit in Current Invoice in Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF). The contractor may only use this method if the total invoice amount (current charges minus credit amount) is greater than $0.

2. Submit a Stand-alone Credit Invoice in WAWF. The contractor may only use this method if a future WAWF invoice(s) will be submitted, and the total of the future invoice(s) exceeds the credit amount. DISA will offset the payment of the future invoice(s) by the credit amount.

3. Zero Dollar Invoice in WAWF. The contractor may only use this method to move a previously paid amount on a CLIN/ACRN to a different CLIN/ACRN. The $0 invoice in WAWF shall include a credit to the incorrect CLIN/ACRN and a positive amount to the correct CLIN/ACRN. An alternative method to moving a previously paid amount on a CLIN/ACRN to a different CLIN/ACRN is to submit two invoices: one credit invoice for the incorrect CLIN/ACRN and one invoice for the correct CLIN/ACRN.

4. Pay.gov. The contractor may only use this method if none of the above credit methods are feasible. To submit a credit via Pay.gov, the contractor shall complete the form at https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/999077677.

https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/999077677

When submitting a credit line on an invoice in WAWF, the contractor shall ensure the 4-digit CLIN is listed in the Item Number field and the ACRN is listed in the ACRN field. Invoices referencing an infoSLIN or invoices missing an ACRN for every CLIN will be rejected.

H1 ORGANIZATIONAL AND CONSULTANT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (OCCI) (JAN 2020)

If the contractor or a subcontractor breaches any of the OCCI restrictions of the contract, to include any OCCI mitigation plan submitted with its offer, or does not disclose or misrepresents any relevant facts concerning its conflict of interest, the government may take appropriate action, including terminating the contract, in addition to any remedies that may be otherwise permitted by the contract or operation of law.

H12 DISA’S CONTRACT TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER VENDOR’S STANDARD COMMERCIAL TERMS

AND CONDITIONS (APR 2025)

This contract shall not include any terms inconsistent with Federal law. Accordingly, if this contract incorporates, references, or uses a vendor’s commercial terms and conditions including those for a license, lease, or purchase agreement (collectively, a “standard commercial agreement”), then the terms of this contract take precedence over the vendor’s terms and conditions.

(1) Applicability. This contract is between a commercial supplier and the U.S. Government for the acquisition of the supply or service that necessitates a license or other similar legal instrument.

(2) End user. This contract shall bind the Government as end user but shall not operate to bind a Government employee or person acting on behalf of the Government in his or her personal capacity.

(3) Law and disputes. This contract is governed by Federal law.

(i) Any language purporting to subject the U.S. Government to the laws of a U.S. state, U.S. territory, district, or municipality, or foreign nation, except where Federal law expressly provides for the application of such laws, is hereby deleted.

(ii) Any language requiring dispute resolution in a specific forum or venue that is different from that prescribed by applicable Federal law is hereby deleted.

(iii) Any language prescribing a different time period for bringing an action than that prescribed by applicable Federal law in relation to a dispute is hereby deleted.

(4) Continued performance. The vendor shall not unilaterally revoke, terminate, or suspend any rights granted to the Government except as allowed by this contract. If the supplier or licensor believes the ordering activity to be in breach of this contract, it shall pursue its rights under the Contract Disputes Act or other applicable Federal statute while continuing performance as set forth in FAR 52.233-1, Disputes.

(5) Arbitration; equitable or injunctive relief. In the event of a claim or dispute arising under or relating to this contract a binding arbitration shall not be used unless specifically authorized by agency guidance, and equitable or injunctive relief, including the award of attorney fees, costs or interest, may be awarded against the U.S.

Government only when explicitly provided by statute (e.g., Prompt Payment Act or Equal Access to Justice Act).

(6) Updating terms.

(i) After award, the contractor may unilaterally revise commercial supplier agreement terms provided the change is not material. A material change is defined as:

(A) Terms that significantly change Government rights or obligations;

(B) Terms that increase Government prices;

(C) Terms that decrease overall level of service; or

(D) Terms that limit any other Government right addressed elsewhere in this contract.

(ii) For revisions that will materially change the terms of the contract, the revised commercial supplier agreement must be incorporated into the contract using a bilateral modification.

(iii) Any license agreement terms or conditions unilaterally revised subsequent to award that are inconsistent with any material term or provision of this contract shall not be enforceable against the Government, and the Government shall not be deemed to have consented to them.

(7) No automatic renewals. The Government does not agree to any automatic renewal provisions because such agreements may violate the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)(B). Any license or service tied to periodic payment is provided under this agreement (e.g., annual software maintenance or annual lease term), and such license or service shall not renew automatically upon expiration of its current term. Furthermore, the Government does not agree to any provision that limits the Government’s unilateral right under the FAR to exercise or not exercise an option at its sole discretion, such as conditioning the exercise of an option on the Government’s “best efforts” to obtain funding or requiring the exercise of an option absent termination for cause, for convenience, or for lack of appropriation.

(8) Indemnification. Any term or condition requiring the commercial supplier or licensor to defend or indemnify the end user is hereby amended to provide that the U.S. Department of Justice has the sole right to represent the United States in any such action in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 516.

(9) Patent indemnity. The Government does not agree to any term or condition which gives the contractor control over any claims or disputes involving patent or other intellectual property infringement because only the Department of Justice is authorized to represent the U.S. Government pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 516. However, the contractor may be permitted to participate in the defense and settlement of any such claims or disputes unless prohibited by law.

(10) Audits. Any term or condition permitting the commercial supplier or licensor to audit the end user's compliance with this contract is hereby amended as follows:

(i) With respect to any audit regarding use of software or licenses therefor, a contractor may request that the Government conduct a self-audit and provide the contractor with the results, but for security purposes the contractor may not access the Government’s systems.

(ii) Discrepancies found in an audit may result in a charge by the commercial supplier or licensor to the ordering activity. Any resulting invoice must comply with the proper invoicing requirements specified in the underlying Government contract or order.

(iii) This charge, if disputed by the ordering activity, will be resolved through the Disputes clause at FAR 52.233-1;

no payment obligation shall arise on the part of the ordering activity until the conclusion of the dispute process.

(iv) Any audit requested by the contractor will be performed at the contractor’s expense, without reimbursement by the Government.

(11) Taxes or surcharges. Any taxes or surcharges which the commercial supplier or licensor seeks to pass along to the Government as end user will be governed by the terms of the underlying Government contract or order and, in any event, must be submitted to the Contracting Officer for a determination of applicability prior to invoicing unless specifically agreed to otherwise in the Government contract.

(12) Non-assignment. This contract may not be assigned, nor may any rights or obligations thereunder be delegated, without the Government's prior approval, except as expressly permitted under the clause at FAR 52.232-23, Assignment of Claims.

(13) Confidential information. If any term or condition includes a confidentiality clause, such clause is hereby amended to state that neither the agreement nor the Federal Supply Schedule contract price list, as applicable, shall be deemed “confidential information.” Issues regarding release of “unit pricing” will be resolved consistent with the Freedom of Information Act. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, the Government may retain any confidential information as required by law, regulation, or its internal document retention procedures for legal, regulatory or compliance purposes; provided, however, that all such retained confidential information will continue to be subject to the confidentiality obligations of this agreement.

H5 USE OF GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED COMPUTERS (FEB 2024)

a. Computers furnished under this contract shall be used for official business only. Contractor personnel shall not use computers furnished under this contract for any use other than to perform the requirements of this contract.

Contractor personnel shall not install any software on Government furnished computers unless consent is obtained from the KO or Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).

b. Information services available on the Government furnished computers shall only be used for official business only. Examples of information services include DoD network (DoDNet), Internet, Intranet, World Wide Web, and electronic mail.

Information services use will be monitored to ensure the protection of DISA networks and information and to verify and enforce compliance with this contractual requirement.

In addition, if requested by the KO, the Contractor shall be required to replace the individual who misused the Government furnished computers and/or information services within 10 working days.

(7) Using another person's account or identity without his or her explicit permission, e.g., by forging e-mail.

(8) Viewing, damaging, or deleting files or communications belonging to others without appropriate authorization or permission.

(9) Permitting any unauthorized person to access a DISA or DoD-owned system.

(10) Modifying or altering the operating systems or system configuration (including the installation of software) without obtaining written authorization from the KO or COR.

H6 OPTION TO EXERCISE SURGE SUPPORT AND/OR OPTIONAL TASKS/LINE ITEMS (MAR 2023)

The Government may:

(1) Require in-scope surge support during the base or any option period. Surge support is OPTIONAL and is not a guarantee. The Contracting Officer may apply surge support to defined task areas (i.e., active/exercised Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN)) of the Performance Work Statement (PWS / Statement of Work (SOW) by written notice to the contractor at least XX calendar days prior to any unilateral modification. In cases where a proposal and negotiations are necessary to incorporate the additional support, a bilateral modification will be issued. Surge support will be realigned under new or existing CLINs for the relevant task areas identified in the PWS/SOW, and an equal amount will be deducted from the Surge CLIN. Surge support will be provided at the same labor rates proposed and/or same pricing methodology proposed for non-labor support found fair and reasonable at the time of contract/task order award for the applicable ordering period. When surge support is realigned under cost-type CLINs, if actual, reimbursable labor rates exceed the labor rates originally proposed and found fair and reasonable at time of contract/task order award, the contractor is only entitled to a fee amount based on the originally proposed labor rates.

(2) Exercise/extend the term of separately priced optional tasks/CLINs at any time during the period of performance in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract/order. Separately priced optional tasks/CLINs may be exercised unilaterally when the period of performance or level of effort on the optional CLIN is unchanged. If the period of performance or level of effort changes, the modification must be exercised bilaterally and adjusted in accordance with labor rates proposed and/or same pricing methodology proposed for non-labor support found fair and reasonable at the time of contract/task order award for the applicable ordering period. Optional tasks/CLINs incorporated into the contract are not guaranteed and the Government shall not be held liable for cost/price of performance until such tasks/CLINs are exercised.

H8 DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGENCY INCIDENTAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT (APR
