C.7 CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

C.7.1 GENERAL: All work will be conducted under individual Delivery Orders (DO) competed under a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) for Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ).

The DOs will be individually competed. There will be no direct ordering or sole source. All

Contractor’s shall respond to a DO request within the time specified by that DO or submit a “no bid” in order to qualify for receiving future opportunities to compete. All pricing included must include the total price and shipping. It is understood and agreed that the Government has no obligation to issue any order except the minimum order as detailed under “CONTRACT

MINIMUM/MAXIMUM QUANTITY AND CONTRACT VALUE” in Section B.

C.12 DIGITAL DELIVERY OF DATA

(a) Delivery by the Contractor to the Government of certain technical data and other information is now frequently required to be made in digital form rather than in hardcopy form. The method of delivery of such data and/or other information (i.e., in electronic, digital, paper hardcopy, or other form) shall not be deemed to affect in any way either the identity of the information (i.e., as

“technical data” or “computer software”) or the Government’s and the

Contractor’s respective rights therein.

(b) Whenever technical data and/or computer software deliverables required by this contract are to be delivered in digital form, any authorized, required, or permitted markings relating to the

Government’s rights in and to such technical data and/or computer software must also be digitally included as part of the deliverable and on or in the same medium used to deliver the technical data and/or software. Such markings must be clearly associated with the corresponding technical data and/or computer software to which the markings relate and must be included in such a way that the marking(s) appear in human-readable form when the technical data and/or software is accessed and/or used. Such markings must also be applied in conspicuous human-readable form on a visible portion of any physical medium used to effect delivery of the technical data and/or computer software. Nothing in this paragraph shall replace or relieve the

Contractor’s obligations with respect to requirements for marking technical data and/or computer software that are imposed by other applicable clauses such as, where applicable and without limitation, DFARS 252.227-7013 and/or DFARS 252.227-7014.

(c) Digital delivery means (such as but not limited to Internet tools, websites, shared networks, and the like) sometimes require, as a condition for access to and/or use of the means, an agreement by a user to certain terms, agreements, or other restrictions such as but not limited to

“Terms of Use,” licenses, or other restrictions intended to be applicable to the information being delivered via the digital delivery means. The Contractor expressly acknowledges that, with respect to deliverables made according to this contract, no such terms, agreements, or other restrictions shall be applicable to or enforceable with respect to such deliverables unless such terms, agreements, or other restrictions expressly have been accepted in writing by the

Contracting Officer; otherwise, the Government’s rights in and to such deliverables shall be governed exclusively by the terms of the contract.
