DRAFT SECTION H CLAUSE – GOVERNMENT PURPOSE RIGHTS

H-X MINIMUM GOVERNMENT RIGHTS IN SPECIFIED TECHNICAL DATA, SOFTWARE, AND RELATED DELIVERABLES

The parties acknowledge that the contract contains DFARS clauses 252.227-7013 and 252.227-7014. This special provision (H-7) does not affect the operation of the identified DFARS clauses with respect to technical data, software, and any related documentation delivered under this contract which would result in the Government receiving unlimited rights or government purpose rights which mature into unlimited rights after an elapse of time under the terms and conditions specified in each respective contract clause. The parties further acknowledge the Government's CLRF IC requirements include life cycle sustainment needs which may require the Government to provide access to certain CLRF IC technical data and/or software to other Government agencies and third parties. Therefore, the contractor agrees to provide the Government with no less than Government Purpose Rights in all technical data, software, and related materials required to be delivered under this contract as specified in CDRLs B004-B006. In addition, if the Government exercises its rights to deferred ordering of additional technical data, software and/or related documentation under provision H-8 or DFARS clause 252.227-7027 which is not already covered by an existing contract CDRL, the contractor also agrees to provide the Government with no less than government purpose rights in such deliverables for all technical data, software, and related documentation obtained through deferred ordering with the exception of "detailed process or manufacturing data".

The terms "government purpose rights" and "detailed process or manufacturing data" have the meanings stated in DFARS contract clause 252.227-7013. The contractor shall account for the operation of this special provision when applying restrictive markings to all affected items of technical data, software, and related documentation delivered under this contract.
