12.1 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 (e.g., in electronic, digital, paper hardcopy, or other form) shall not be deemed to affect in any way either the identity of the information (e.g., as “technical data” or “computer software”) or the Government’s and the Contractor’s respective rights therein.

12.2 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.

12.3 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 PCO;

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

13.0 NON-PERSONAL SERVICES/INHERENTLY GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTIONS

13.1 The Government will neither supervise Contractor employees nor control the method by which the Contractor performs the required tasks. The Government will not direct the hiring, dismissal, or reassignment of Contractor personnel. Under no circumstances shall the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual Contractor employees. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to manage its employees and to guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services or give the perception that personal services are being provided. If the Contractor feels that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to notify the PCO immediately in accordance with the clause 52.243-7.

13.2 Inherently-Governmental functions are not within the scope of this contract. Decisions relative to programs supported by the Contractor shall be the sole responsibility of the Government. The Contractor may be required to attend technical meetings for the Government; however, it is not, under any circumstances, authorized to represent the Government or give the appearance that it is doing so.

14.0 CONTRACTOR IDENTIFICATION

The Contractor shall be required to obtain identification badges from the Government for all Contractor personnel requiring regular access to Government property. The identification badge shall be visible at all times while employees are on Government property. The Contractor shall furnish all requested information required to facilitate issuance of identification badges and shall conform to applicable regulations concerning the use and possession of the badges. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all identification badges issued to Contractor employees are returned to the appropriate Security Office within 48 hours following completion of the contract, relocation, or termination of an employee, and upon request by the

PCO.

SOLICITATION NO.

All Contractor personnel shall identify their company affiliation when answering or making telephone calls and sending email and when attending meetings where Government personnel or representatives from another Contractor are present.

15.0 CONTROL OF CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of NAVSEA and NSWCCD instructions regarding performance in Government facilities. All persons engaged in work while on Government property shall be subject to search of their persons (no bodily search) and vehicles at any time by the Government, and shall report any known or suspected security violations to the appropriate Security Department. Assignment, transfer, and reassignment of Contractor personnel shall be at the discretion of the Contractor. However, when the Government directs, the Contractor shall remove from contract performance any person who endangers life, property, or national security through improper conduct. All Contractor personnel engaged in work while on Government property shall be subject to the DoD Standards of Conduct.

16.0 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEES WITH NSWCCD BASE ACCESS

(b) For involuntarily separated personnel and those separated under adverse circumstances, the Contractor shall notify NSWCCD physical security in advance of the date, time, and location where the NSWCCD representative may retrieve the NSWCCD badge prior to the employee departing the Contractor’s facility. In the event the employee is separated in his or her absence, the Contractor shall immediately notify NSWCCD Physical Security of the separation and make arrangements between the former employee and NSWCCD physical security for the return of the badge and removal of the sticker.
