The term applies-

(i) Regardless of the format or style of the document. For example, a CSA may be styled as standard terms of sale or lease, Terms of Service (TOS), End User License Agreement (EULA), or another similar legal instrument or agreement, and may be presented as part of an offer or quotation responding to a solicitation.

(ii) Regardless of the media or delivery mechanism used. For example, a CSA may be presented as one or more paper documents or may appear on a computer or other electronic device screen during a purchase, software installation, other product delivery, registration for a service, or another transaction.

(i) Any such language, provision, or clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) 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 CSA.

(iii) Any such language, provision, or clause is deemed to be stricken from the CSA.

(d) of this clause.

(a) Definition. As used in this clause-

"Commercial supplier agreements" means terms and conditions customarily offered to the public by vendors of supplies or services that meet the definition of commercial item set forth in FAR 2.101 and intended to create a binding legal obligation on the end user. Commercial supplier agreements (CSA) are particularly common in information technology acquisitions, including acquisitions of commercial computer software and commercial technical data, but they may apply to any supply or service. The term applies-

(1) Regardless of the format or style of the document. For example, a CSA may be styled as standard terms of sale or lease, Terms of Service (TOS), End User License Agreement (EULA), or another similar legal instrument or agreement, and may be presented as part of an offer or quotation responding to a solicitation.

(2) Regardless of the media or delivery mechanism used. For example, a CSA may be presented as one or more paper documents or may appear on a computer or other electronic device screen during a purchase, software installation, other product delivery, registration for a service, or another transaction.

(b) Except as stated in paragraph (c) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any CSA, that includes any language, provision, or clause requiring the Government to pay any future fees, penalties, interest, legal costs or to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

MAINFRAME CLOUD TRANSITION SERVICES AND SUPPORT

U.S. TREASURY, BUREAU OF THE FISCAL SERVICE

1.0 OVERVIEW/BACKGROUND

The United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), Office of Information and Security Services (ISS) is dedicated to delivering exceptional programs and services to both internal and external customers by promoting valuable information management solutions that advance customer business goals and objectives. ISS also ensures the security, safety, and integrity of Fiscal Service people, facilities, and information assets, and is committed to innovation, efficiency, effectiveness, and a holistic view of data, technology, and business processes.

The Fiscal Service mission of supporting the financial integrity and financial operational efficiency of the federal government is dependent upon IT applications that use mainframe services at Fiscal Service data centers in Parkersburg, West Virginia and Kansas City, Missouri. Fiscal Service has a need to transition the on-premises mainframe-dependent IT applications to a cloud mainframe platform. Additionally, non-mainframe dependent Fiscal Service applications may need support in transitioning to and operating on cloud platforms while engaging cloud engineers and other subject matter experts (SME) to performing the duties required in a cloud platform environment.

Fiscal Service requires Platform as a Service (PaaS) to replace the current Fiscal Service mainframe platform and supporting applications. These activities are in alignment with Fiscal Service’s goals of transitioning and rehosting the existing mainframe platform to IBM SmartCloud or equivalent. The Fiscal IT Mainframe requires a like-for-like mainframe cloud platform that can support the entire General Support System comprising of 30+ FISMA applications to complete transition activities while supporting as is operations. The platform shall demonstrate the ability to host at the FISMA High and FedRAMP High standards.
