AMENDMENT NO DATE

B.2 GOVERNING LAW

Federal law and regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), shall govern this Contract/Order. Commercial license agreements may be made a part of this Contract/Order but only if both parties expressly make them an addendum hereto, as permitted by FAR 12.212. If the commercial license agreement is not made an addendum, it shall not apply, govern, be a part of or have any effect whatsoever on the Contract/Order; this includes, but is not limited to, any agreement embedded in the computer software (clickwrap), any agreement that is otherwise delivered with or provided to the Government with the commercial computer software or documentation (shrinkwrap), or any other license agreement otherwise referred to in any document. If a commercial license agreement is made an addendum, only those provisions addressing data rights regarding the Government’s use, duplication and disclosure of data (e.g., restricted computer software) are included and made a part of this Contract/Order, and only to the extent that those provisions are not duplicative or inconsistent with Federal law, Federal regulation, the incorporated FAR clauses and the provisions of this Contract/Order; those provisions in the commercial license agreement that do not address data rights regarding the Government’s use, duplication and disclosure of data shall not be included or made a part of the Contract/Order. Federal law and regulation including, without limitation, the Contract Disputes Act (41 U.S.C. § 7101 et seq.), the Anti-Deficiency Act (31 U.S.C. § 1341 et seq.), the Competition in Contracting Act (41 U.S.C. § 3301 et seq.), the Prompt Payment Act (31 U.S.C. § 3901 et seq.), Contracts for Data Processing or Maintenance (38 USC § 5725), and FAR clauses 52.212-4, 52.227-14, 52.227-19 shall supersede, control, and render ineffective any inconsistent, conflicting, or duplicative provision in any commercial license agreement. In the event of conflict between this clause and any provision in the Contract/Order or the commercial license agreement or elsewhere, the terms of this clause shall prevail. The Contractor shall deliver to the Government all data first produced under this Contract/Order with unlimited rights as defined by FAR 52.227-14. Claims of patent or copyright infringement brought against the Government as a party shall be defended by the U.S.

Department of Justice (DOJ) in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 516; at the discretion of DOJ, the Contractor may be allowed reasonable participation in the defense of the litigation. Any additional changes to the Contract/Order must be made by modification (Standard Form 30) and shall only be made by a warranted Contracting Officer. Nothing in this Contract/Order or any commercial license agreement shall be construed as a waiver of sovereign immunity.

B.3 SOFTWARE LICENSE, MAINTENANCE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT

(1) Definitions.

(a) Licensee. The term “licensee” shall mean the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and is synonymous with “Government.”

(b) Licensor. The term “licensor” shall mean the contractor having the necessary license or ownership rights to deliver license, software maintenance and support of the computer software being acquired. The term “contractor” is the party identified in Block 17a on the SF1449. If the contractor is a reseller and not the Licensor, the contractor remains responsible for performance under this order.

(c) Software. The term “software” shall mean the licensed computer software product(s) cited in the Schedule of Supplies/Services.

(d) Maintenance. The term “maintenance” is the process of enhancing and optimizing software, as well as remedying defects. It shall include all new fixes, patches, releases, updates, versions and upgrades, as further defined below.

(e) Technical Support. The term “technical support” refers to the range of services providing assistance for the software via the telephone, email, a website or otherwise.

(f) Release or Update. The term “release” or “update” are terms that refer to a revision of software that contains defect corrections, minor enhancements or improvements of the software’s functionality. This is usually designated by a change in the number to the right of the decimal point (e.g., from Version 5.3 to 5.4). An example of an update is the addition of new hardware.

(g) Version or Upgrade. The term “version” or “upgrade” are terms that refer to a revision of software that contains new or improved functionality. This is usually designated by a change in the number to the left of the decimal point (e.g., from Version

5.4 to 6).

(2) Software License

(a) Unless otherwise stated in the Schedule of Supplies/Services, the Performance Work Statement or Product Description, the software license provided to the Government is a perpetual, nonexclusive license to use the software

(b) The Government may use the software in a networked environment.

(c) Any dispute regarding the license grant or usage limitations shall be resolved in accordance with the Disputes Clause incorporated in FAR 52.212-4(d).

(d) All limitations of software usage are expressly stated in the Schedule of Supplies/Services and the Performance Work Statement/Product Description.

(3) Software Maintenance and Technical Support

(a) If the Government desires to continue software maintenance and support beyond the period of performance identified in this contract or order, the Government will issue a separate contract or order for maintenance and support. Conversely, if a contract or order for continuing software maintenance and technical support is not received the contractor is neither authorized nor permitted to renew any of the previously furnished services.

(b) The contractor shall provide software support services, which includes periodic updates, enhancements and corrections to the software, and reasonable technical support, all of which are customarily provided by the contractor to its commercial customers so as to cause the software to perform according to its specifications, documentation or demonstrated claims.

(c) Any telephone support provided by contractor shall be at no additional cost.

(d) The contractor shall provide all maintenance services in a timely manner in accordance with the contractor’s customary practice or as defined in the Performance Work Statement/Product Description. However, prolonged delay (exceeding 2 business days) in resolving software problems will be noted in the Government’s various past performance records on the contractor (e.g., www.ppirs.gov).

(e) If the Government allows the maintenance and support to lapse and subsequently wishes to reinstate it, any reinstatement fee charged shall not exceed the amounts that would have been charged if the Government had not allowed the subscription to lapse.

(4) Disabling Software Code. The Government requires delivery of computer software that does not contain any code that will, upon the occurrence or the nonoccurrence of any event, disable the software. Such code includes but is not limited to a computer virus, restrictive ke, node lock, time-out or other function, whether implemented by electronic, mechanical, or other means, which limits or hinders the use or access to any computer software based on residency on a specific hardware configuration, frequency of duration of use, or other limiting criteria. If any such disabling code is present, the contractor agrees to indemnify the Government for all damages suffered as a result of a disabling caused by such code, and the contractor agrees to remove such code upon the Government’s request at no extra cost to the Government.

Inability of the contractor to remove the disabling software code will be considered an inexcusable delay and a material breach of contract, and the Government may exercise its right to terminate for cause. In addition, the Government is permitted to remove the code as it deems appropriate and charge the Contractor for consideration for the time and effort expended in removing the code.

(5) Manuals and Publications. Upon Government request, the contractor shall furnish the most current version of the user manual and publications for all products/services provided under this contract or order at no cost.

Real Time Location System (RTLS) Asset Tracking (AT) Sustainment

Date: December 19, 2024

VA-25-00016405

PWS Version Number: 1.2

1.0 BACKGROUND

Real Time Location System (RTLS) Asset Tracking (AT) capability is currently provided by CenTrak RTLS Technology and Infor Location Based Intelligence (LBI) middleware in the VA Medical Centers. Both are supplemented via the Infor LBI Asset Management Business Intelligent Solution. RTLS technology combines a variety of signaling and wireless communication methods to determine the location of tagged assets. Knowing the location of tagged assets can be used to speed up annual inventory, locate equipment, reduce theft/loss, track patients and track staff to improve workflow.

Active RTLS technology uses tags that transmit a Radio Frequency ID (RFID) through Wi-Fi at a regular interval. The same tags may also listen for, and report the receipt of, other signaling technologies like infrared or low frequency emitters. These technologies are designed for room level accuracy. Veterans Integrated Services Network (VISN) 16’s AT solution uses Active Tags only. AT is one of three RTLS business use cases deployed by VA, and one of eight that VA has identified. VISN 16 facilities are currently operating AT and AT data is collected and transferred from the CenTrak system to the Infor LBI. Infor LBI, is a RTLS specific Business Intelligent platform that leverages location-based data to provide users with the following information:

• A real-time Graphical User Interface display of location status for individual assets

• A set of statistically based reports and dashboards that present the state of the RTLS inventory, as well as the employment of individual assets.

RTLS users may access and use individual application functionality directly from CenTrak or from Infor LBI. The Infor LBI implementation is interfaced to IBM’s Maximo Asset Management solution. IBM Maximo Asset Management is an asset management life cycle and workflow management application. Currently, MuleSoft Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is deployed as part of the interface solution to Maximo.

See PWS Section 4.2 for the list of specific VISN 16 sites that are in scope for this PWS requirement. Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System in New Orleans is still under warranty during the base year, therefore not included in the base year, however this site location will be included in the option years.

Additionally, the Office of Information & Technology (OIT) replaced the Wi-Fi system through a national NextGen Wi-Fi project using Juniper/Mist technology. The new Wi-Fi system affected the connectivity to the RTLS system. The connectivity needs to be re-established to restore functionality to all stations except for Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center located in Houston. Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center was the Beta site for the integration therefore it will not need re-establishment connectivity for the base period, however the Houston location will need sustainment services for the option years.
