No requests for clarification will be provided in response to Offeror-initiated telephone calls. All such requests must be made in writing or via e-mail and submitted to the above addresses.

However, time may not permit requests to be answered if received by the above addressee within ten (10) calendar days of the due date for offers as specified in the solicitation.
L-4. Data Rights
The Government minimum needs in technical and computer software and computer software documentation as stated below are predicated on the following:
1. The Government requires that there not be any limited or unavailable access to detailed design information and source code, neither will the government have any overall decreased development visibility and insight to test and integration status.
2. The Government requires detailed design information and source code to be delivered and will not need to rely on the developing company for support throughout the systems lifetime.
3. The Government requires detailed design information and source code which will be timely delivered and with the retained ability of the government to fully integrate the system with future systems (backward compatibility/interoperability).
4. The Government, to the extent possible, requires the ability to avoid potentially excessive future licensing fees, if such additional licenses are required.
5. The Government requires free and unfettered ability, in accordance with the Competition in Contracting Act
(CICA) to maintain a competitive posture with robust participation and desirable terms for future system and system related requirements.
L-5. Technical Data, Computer Software and Computer Software Documentation
a. The Government has determined that, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320(a)(2)(B,C,D,E), and the TGIS
Acquisition Strategy, its minimum needs for this acquisition include:
(1) Unlimited Rights or Government Purpose Rights to all non-commercial technical data listed in Table 1 of Attachment 14 where the phrase “Unlimited” or “Government Purpose Rights” is stated in column 4 of the row associated with that item of technical data,
(2) Unlimited Rights or Government Purpose Rights to all remaining non-commercial technical data and computer software delivered under this contract,
(3) A perpetual license to all commercial technical data and computer software for (a) a sufficient number of licenses for TGIS program purposes, (b) that grants the Government unrestricted rights to items described in DFARS 252.227-7015(b)(1), (c) that is consistent with Federal procurement law (e.g., choice of law provisions, forums that would adjudicate any disputes, provisions that require the
Government to indemnify the licensor), (see FAR § 2.101 for the definition of ―commercial item), and (d) that permits the Government to use, release, or disclose that commercial item technical data and computer software outside the Government consistent with the license specified in Attachment15.
(4) Special License Rights to review all data used by the Offeror to create any CDRL or CLIN delivered under this contract to verify the currency, accuracy and completeness of the data contained in those
CDRLs/CLINs described in Attachment 14 and 15.
b. CLIN 0001 is a cost-reimbursable CLINs that requires the contractor to conduct software development. As such, the Government will be reimbursing the contractor its allocable, allowable, and reasonable costs of performing such work and thus assumes that an Offeror need not use any technical data or computer software developed completely at private expense to perform any of the requirements. If this assumption is correct, Offerors shall complete the Section K provision DFARS 252.227-7017 and column 4 of Table 1 in
Attachment 14 consistent with that assumption and ensure that the statements in both the Section K provision and Attachment 14 are consistent with each other in all respects.
c. If the Offeror’s approach includes providing technical data or computer software previously developed entirely at private expense, except for the items identified at DFARS 227.7103-5(a)(2) and (a)(4) through
(a)(9), DFARS 227.7203-5(a)(3) through (6) and DFARS 227.7102-1, Offerors shall:
(1) Complete Section K provision DFARS 252.227-7017 consistent with that approach.
(2) Complete Attachment 15 consistent with the instructions provided therein.
