Att 04 ACA LOI.pdf

This document is Section H of a federal contract, containing an Associate Contractor Agreement Letter of Intent (LOI) clause for the Synthetic Training Environment Virtual Software (STE VSW) effort.

The clause establishes requirements for coordination and information sharing among multiple Associate Contractors working on the STE VSW project. It mandates that contractors maintain close liaison with other associate contractors, establish free and open information networks, delineate detailed interface responsibilities, and enter into written agreements with other associate contractors regarding substance and procedures. The Government must receive copies of these inter-contractor agreements. Contractors may access proprietary or confidential data from associate contractors but must protect such information using the same controls applied to their own proprietary data and limit use solely to STE VSW performance. Proprietary information received from other contractors must be identified as such and held in confidence accordingly. Additionally, contractors must insert substantially similar provisions in all subcontracts requiring access to associate contractor proprietary information. If contractors cannot reach agreement on interface matters or technical data is not provided as scheduled, they must notify the Government Assistant Program Managers: MAJ Rob Scrip (robert.j.scrip.mil@army.mil) or Erin Nicholson (erin.m.nicholson2.civ@army.mil), who will determine appropriate corrective action.
