A licensing agreement or license is a contractual right that gives one permission to engage in a defined activity or to use certain property, including intellectual property, that is owned by another. These intellectual property law regulations are essential to enforcing the owner's rights in intellectual property.

For any component parts of the newly designed systems furniture product which UNICOR does not manufacture, the successful offeror must have the requisite intellectual property rights in any component parts prior to engaging in any of these efforts with UNICOR.

UNICOR will require the successful offeror to indemnify and hold UNICOR harmless from any alleged patent infringement for use of the component parts.

This information shall include, but not be limited to, packaging, boxing, wrapping, labeling, box specifications, sizes, inserts, volume, and packaging inventory for each systems furniture product line.

This information shall not be included in the pricing of the systems furniture components.

An additional factory location may be added in the future through a contract modification signed by both parties.

Industry Reporting

Offeror(s) will be required to provide UNICOR a bi-annual report identifying changes in the commercial office furniture industry that may improve UNICOR's systems furniture product lines.

Schedule. GSA Schedule number shall be listed with the associated systems furniture product.

FPI will evaluate the offeror's ability to maximize the amount of profit that can be derived from these product lines. UNICOR is primarily interested in employing inmates. As such, proposals that most effectively generate inmate work opportunities and effectively utilize

UNICOR's manufacturing capacity while offering a competitive systems furniture product line will be highly desired.

Offers may propose discount payment terms such as 5% - 20, Net 30; 4% -

10, Net 30; 2% - 10, Net 30 for consideration.

(b) Contract pricing may change during the term of the contract due to the inclusion of an Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) Clause in Section H of this solicitation. If the Producer Price Index does not warrant a price adjustment during the awarded contract period, the offeror agrees to continue current pricing until such time as an EPA adjustment is authorized.

Page 14 of 59ORDER NUMBER:

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror(s) within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

Future Option for Rights to Jointly Developed Products: If UNICOR and the successful offeror(s) jointly develop any new systems line, UNICOR requires the exclusive intellectual property rights to the newly manufactured systems lines developed. Intellectual property rights are defined as "copyrights, trademarks, and patents requiring written intellectual property licensing agreements. A licensing agreement or license is a contractual right that gives one permission to engage in a defined activity or to use certain property, including intellectual property, that is owned by another. These intellectual property law regulations are essential to enforcing the owner's rights in intellectual property." For any component parts of the newly designed system which UNICOR does not manufacture, the successful offeror must have the requisite intellectual property rights in any component parts, prior to engaging in any of these efforts with UNICOR.

UNICOR will require the successful offeror to indemnify and hold UNICOR harmless from any alleged patent infringement for use of the component parts. The product proposed for this requirement will be a desirable line that would be competitive with those items in the commercial marketplace. All items offered shall not infringe on any patents.

FPI reserves an option to this agreement to vertically integrate including the manufacture of any systems components or subcomponents subject to any patent rights the contractor may hold. Systems components and subcomponents are all the parts and materials that make up a system.

Offerors will be required as part of the written proposal to provide a list of components that can be vertically integrated.

Evaluation Criteria – 8. Vertical Integration

Offerors shall submit a written vertical integration plan that will

Page 15 of 59ORDER NUMBER:

explain how the offeror will assist FPI in manufacturing the offeror's component parts (referred to as "vertical integration"). Offerors will allow FPI the rights to vertically integrate any component parts or subassemblies for the systems under this contract, with the exception of any limitations that are specified in the contractor's proposal and incorporated into the contract (for example: proprietary components that are supplied by a subcontractor(s)). Further, FPI may substitute alternative components that it manufactures or assembles as long as those components meet form, fit and function requirements. The contractor(s) will give FPI the right and assist with any vertical integration or outsourcing of any component parts or subassemblies.

The vertical integration plan should address the following: the level of additional inmate employment that is expected, the required investment in equipment or tooling, any proposed compensation due to the contractor

(and the services provided for that compensation), and the effect upon

FPI's cost to manufacture the systems. Offerors are to provide a list of items that can be vertically integrated as part of the written proposal.

Any proposed compensation due to the contractor and its effect upon

FPI's cost will solely be evaluated as a part of each offeror's technical proposal and will not be included in the evaluation of each offeror's price proposal.

If UNICOR and the awardee jointly develop any new system or systems line, UNICOR requires the exclusive intellectual property rights to the newly manufactured systems/components developed. Intellectual property rights are defined as "copyrights, trademarks, and patents requiring written intellectual property licensing agreements. A licensing agreement or license is a contractual right that gives someone permission to engage in a defined activity or to use certain property, including intellectual property, that is owned by someone else. These intellectual property law regulations are essential to enforcing the owner's rights in intellectual property."

For any component parts of the newly designed system which UNICOR does not manufacture, the successful offeror must have the requisite intellectual property rights in any component parts, prior to engaging in any of these efforts with UNICOR. UNICOR will require the successful offeror to indemnify and hold UNICOR harmless from any alleged patent infringement for use of the component parts.

UNICOR requests the use of the patent name from the offeror.

period may be adjusted in accordance with the change in PPI Index

PCU337211337211, Wood Office Furniture Manufacturing, using the simple percentage method described in the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of

Labor Statistics “Escalation Guide for Contracting Parties, available at http://www.bls.gov/ppi/ppiescalation.htm. This will be calculated as follows: index at time of calculation, divided by index at time base price was set. Multiply result by base price, equals adjusted price. IT

IS THE CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REQUEST THIS ADJUSTMENT.

(b) Adjustments may be requested after the preliminary price index for the month of the anniversary of contract award has been published but not to exceed 90 days after the eligible adjustment date (i.e., anniversary of the contract award date). Requests that are made after the 90-day limit will not be honored and the contract pricing will not be adjusted. The contractor shall submit any requests for adjustments in writing to the contracting officer. Requests shall include a copy of the relevant index and must be within the allowed time period for adjustment. Any adjustments authorized as a result of the adjustment request will not be retroactive.

(c) The contractor also is required to request downward price adjustments. All downward adjustments will be retroactive to the authorized adjustment date as specified in this clause. If downward price adjustments are not requested and this is later revealed through audits or otherwise, the contractor shall reimburse the Government the amount overcharged plus interest. Interest will be computed at the rate set annually by the Secretary of the Treasury for late contract payments. Interest will accrue from the date the adjustment should have been made.

(d) In computing any price adjustment, the preliminary/first-published index for the month and year of contract award will be compared to the preliminary/first-published index for the contract anniversary month of the adjustment year. This index is not seasonally adjusted. If this index is temporarily unavailable or permanently discontinued, the

Page 27 of 59ORDER NUMBER:
