0. Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

0. Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the Commercial Supplier Agreement. If the Commercial Supplier Agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

0. Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the Commercial Supplier Agreement.

1. Automatic renewals. License Agreements will expire at end of the term identified in the Purchase Order/Contract. Automatic renewals are not permitted and any such provision is void.

1. Third Party Licenses (Embedded Software).

i. The Contractor agrees that it has obtained all necessary licenses for the Government for any third party materials (including without limitation all Open-Source licenses) provided within the product.

ii. Contractor agrees that it complies with and shall continue to comply with all of its obligations under Third Party Licenses (including without limitation all Open Source licenses) associated with any third party materials provided within each product.

iii. To the extent that the Government’s use of the software products licensed herein is in compliance with the Contractor’s Commercial Supplier Agreement, the Government’s use will also be in compliance with any Third Party Licenses.

Licensee will not be required to pay for any tools provided by the Contractor to conduct the audit and the results of the audit shall be kept confidential.

If verification discloses that Licensee’s use is not in conformity with this Agreement, Licensee agrees to resolve any noncompliance by either removing or correcting the unlicensed installation and use of the software identified by the audit.

In the event an authorized user is reorganized or restructured such that their responsibilities and operations are transferred to another government agency, the agency shall have the right to assign the affected program licenses to a successor. The licensed agency and the successor agency agree to be bound to the Commercial Supplier Agreement as modified. The transferee shall be bound by the license metrics and limitations in this license.

Section K - Representations, Certifications and Other Statements of Offerors

Section L - Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders

HQ L-2-0005 NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT(S) OF INTEREST (NAVSEA) (JUN 1994)

(a) Offerors are reminded that certain existing contractual arrangements may preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, as either a subcontractor or as a prime contractor under this competitive procurement. Of primary concern are those contractual arrangements in which the Offeror provides support to , or related laboratories (if applicable), in support of operation of the office or any of its programs. General guidance may be found in FAR 9.505; however, this guidance is not all inclusive. The Offeror's attention is directed to the "Organizational Conflict of Interest" (or similar) requirement which may be contained in current or completed contract(s) which prohibits the prime or subcontractor from providing certain supplies or services to the Government as described above during the period of the current "support" contract(s) or for a period after completion of the "support" contract(s). Notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) clause or similar requirement in current or completed contract(s), the offeror shall comply with FAR 9.5 and identify whether an OCI exists and not rely solely on the presence of an OCI requirement.

(b) If a potential conflict of interest exists at any tier, each potential prime offeror is requested to notify the Contracting Officer within 14 days of the date of this solicitation. The Offeror shall provide: (1) the contract number and name and phone number of the Contracting Officer for the contract which gives rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest; (2) a copy of the requirement; (3) the statement of work (or technical instruction) from the existing contract; (4) a brief description of the type of work to be performed by each subcontractor under the competitive procurement; and (5) any additional information the Contracting Officer should consider in making a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists. The Government may independently verify the information received from the offeror. Notwithstanding the above, the Government reserves the right to determine whether a conflict of interest exists based on any information received from any source.

(c) The Government will notify an offeror of any conflict of interest within 14 days of receipt of all required information. Those offerors deemed to have a conflict of interest may be ineligible for award. Failure to provide the information in a timely manner does not waive the Government's rights to make a conflict of interest determination. The offeror is notified that if it expends time and money on proposal preparation, such expenditure is at its own risk that the Government will not determine that an organizational conflict of interest exists.

(d) Any potential prime contractor which proposes a subcontractor later determined to have a conflict of interest and deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition, may not be granted the opportunity to revise its proposal to remove the ineligible subcontractor. The Government reserves the right to determine which offerors remain in the competitive range through the normal source selection process.

(e) If the offeror determines that a potential organizational conflict of interest does not exist at any tier, the offeror shall include a statement to that effect in its response to this solicitation.

HQ L-2-0010 SUBSTITUTION OF PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SINGLE PROCESS INITIATIVE (NAVSEA) (MAY 1998) Your proposal shall identify where you are substituting your previously approved Single Process Initiative (SPI) processes for specified requirements. In addition, offerors should provide the information required by DFARS 252.211-7005, paragraph (c).

File room management services consist of any of the following: secretarial or clerical support; data entry; document reproduction, scanning, imaging, or destruction; operation, management, or maintenance of paper-based or electronic mail rooms, file rooms, or libraries; and supervision in connection with functions listed herein.

(b) The cognizant Contracting Officer will ensure that any NAVSEA contract under which these file room management services are acquired will contain a requirement that

(1) The support contractor not disclose any information;

(2) Individual employees are to be instructed by the support contractor regarding the sensitivity of the official contract files;

(3) The support contractor performing these services be barred from providing any other supplies and/or services, or competing to do so, to NAVSEA for the period of performance of its contract and for an additional three years thereafter unless otherwise provided by law or regulation; and,

(4) In addition to any other rights the offeror may have, it is a third party beneficiary who has the right of direct action against the support contractor, or any person to whom the support contractor has released or disclosed Protected Information, for the unauthorized duplication, release, or disclosure of such Protected Information.

(c) Submission of a proposal will be considered as consent to NAVSEA's permitting access to any information, irrespective of restrictive markings or the nature of the information submitted, by its file room management support contractor for the limited purpose of executing its file room support contract responsibilities.

(d) NAVSEA may, without further notice, enter into contracts with other contractors for these services. Offerors are free to enter into separate non-disclosure agreements with the file room contractor. (Please contact Director, E Business Division for contractor specifics.) However, any such agreement will not be considered a prerequisite before information submitted is stored in the file room or otherwise encumber the government.
