This document is a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) issued by the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC PAC) on behalf of the Department of Defense Enterprise Software Initiative (DoD ESI) to Carahsoft Technology Corp. The BPA is effective from September 6, 2019, through July 14, 2029, with a five-year base ordering period and one five-year option period.

The contractor must maintain specific discount levels outlined in Attachment 2, submit quarterly sales reports within 30 days of each reporting period (March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31), and pay an ACT administrative fee of 0.6% on all sales. The contractor is required to provide a Program Manager for centralized administration, participate in at least biannual Program Management Reviews, implement sales leakage prevention processes, and maintain marketing and promotional efforts. Orders under this BPA are subject to applicable FAR and DFARS clauses, and the contractor must comply with all terms regarding hardware authenticity, professional services delivery, security requirements, and Privacy Act obligations. Technology refreshments may occur quarterly without formal BPA modification, and the Government reserves the right to implement on-ramp procedures to add new contractors during the BPA term.

Department of Defense (DoD) Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI)

BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

N66001-19-A-0120 Carahsoft Technology Corp.

1. Introduction/Recitals

1.1. Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act

1.1.1. In the spirit of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act, the Naval Information Warfare Center pacific (NIWC PAC), on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI) (referred to hereafter as the “Government” or “DoD”) and Carahsoft Technology Corporation (the “Contractor”) enter into this Blanket Purchase Agreement, which includes all Attachments (collectively referred to as the “BPA”) as of the Effective Date as identified on the DD1055.

1.2. GSA Multiple Award Schedule Contract

1.2.1. General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Contract BPAs reduce contracting and open market costs such as: search for sources, development of technical documents, solicitations, and the evaluation of offers.

1.2.2. This BPA is issued to reduce the administrative costs of acquiring commercial products and services from the GSA MAS Contract(s) 47QSWA18D008F.

1.2.3. All Orders placed against this BPA are subject to the terms and conditions of the MAS Contract.

1.3. DoD ESI

1.3.1. The DoD ESI is a joint DoD initiative designed to develop and implement a DoD enterprise procurement process. This DoD ESI BPA is issued in accordance with the policy and guidelines provided in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Section 208.74.

1.4. Scope:

The products and services of the Software Publishers as outlined in Attachment 2.

1.5. Term

1.5.1. Subject to the provisions detailed at 1.5.4, this BPA shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in force for period of ten (10) years after such date, unless otherwise modified or terminated as provided herein and is contingent on maintaining or renewing a GSA MAS Schedule and a Letter of Supply from the OEM (if applicable).

1.5.2. This BPA includes a five year (5) base ordering period, with 1 option period (5 years), extending to the end of the BPA.

The term of the proposed BPAs will be as follows:

BPA Base Period: Ordering Period 09/06/2019 – 07/14/2024 BPA Option 1: Ordering Period 07/15/2024 – 07/14/2029

1.5.3. This BPA expires upon completion of all Orders issued within the specified BPA ordering periods, inclusive of any exercised BPA option periods.

1.5.4. On-Ramp & Off-Ramp Procedures

1.5.4.1. On-Ramp: The Government reserves the right to reopen competition at any time during the term of the BPA based on its assessment of the marketplace. When an on-ramp is used, the Government will advertise the reopening of the competition on GSA eBuy, and awardees shall meet the criteria established in the initial solicitation.

Existing BPA holders will not be required to resubmit quotes. The evaluation and selection of awardees for any on-ramp will be the same as the evaluation and award criteria used for the initial BPA award(s). New awardees will be expected to compete with the existing Contractors for Orders. All BPAs awarded as an on-ramp will have the same Period of Performance (POP) as the earliest awarded BPA for the

OEM or category, regardless of the BPA effective start date. This may result in a shorter base period or option period for the on-ramped BPA in order to achieve co-termination.

For example:

Scenario: Company X is awarded a BPA on 01 Jan 2025 with a 60-month base period. Company Y is “on-ramped” 01 Mar 2025 with a base period of 58 months.

On 01 Jan 2030, both companies will be eligible to have Option One exercised and remain co-termed for the remainder of the BPA ordering period.

1.5.4.2. Off-ramp: If at any point during the period of performance the Contractor decides that it no longer prefers to participate in this DoD ESI BPA Agreement, the Contractor may submit a request to the Contracting Officer to suspend the BPA. The PCO may at his or her sole discretion, accept the request to cease active participation in the BPA. If a Contractor receives this permission and is currently under contract to perform under any Order, the Contractor will be required to continue to perform under the terms of the specific Order. This provision is independent of any other action permitted under the contract terms and conditions.
