In this way the DoS seeks to ensure that it can obtain the benefits of new design enhancements and technological updates or advances for supplies cur-rently on this Contract. When requested or offered, the Contractor shall provide, within 30 calendar days of re-quest, a technology refresh quote including the supplies so identified.

In the event that the Contractor is no longer able to provide the supplies in this Contract (because they are no longer being manufactured, for example), the Contractor may, with the approval of the DoS, remove the sup-plies from this Contract. The Contractor shall provide substitute supplies which shall have the functional capab-ilities of the supplies originally provided and shall meet or exceed the original supplies' rated performance char-acteristics.

At the time of available technology refresh, the Contractor shall propose the contract list price for each re-freshed line item, including any discounts. The final contract list price for refreshed line items shall be negoti-ated.

H-037 ACCESIBILITY OF ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Each electronic and Information Technology (EIT) product or service furnished under this contract shall comply with the Section 508 Accessibility Standards (36 CFR 1194), as specified in the contract. If the Contracting Of-ficer determines any furnished product or service is not in compliance with the contract, the Contracting Officer will promptly inform the contractor in writing. The contractor shall, at no cost to the Government, repair or re-place the non-compliant products or services within the period of time specified by the Contracting Officer. If the repair or replacement if not completed within the time specified, the Contracting Officer may:

(a) Cancel the contract, delivery or task order, purchase or line item without termination liabilities; or

(b) In the case of custom EIT being developed for under this contract, have any necessary changes made or re-pairs performed by Government employees or by another contractor and the contractor must reimburse the Gov-ernment for any expenses incurred thereby.

For every EIT product or service accepted under this contract by the Government that does not comply with 36 CFR 1194, the contractor must, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, make every effort to replace or up-grade it with a compliant equivalent product or service, if commercially available and cost neutral, on either the planned refresh cycle of the product or service, or on the contract renewal date, whichever occurs first.
