The term “Vessel” as used in this requirement refers to each of the Vessels to be constructed and delivered under this Contract.

1. Definition. “Supplies,” as used in this clause, includes but is not limited to the Vessel(s), raw materials, components, intermediate assemblies, end products, and lots of Supplies.
   
2. Seller shall provide and maintain, prior to and at all times during manufacture, an inspection system acceptable to the Government covering Supplies under this Contract and shall tender to the Government for acceptance only Supplies that have been inspected in accordance with the inspection system and have been found by Seller to be in conformity with Contract requirements. As part of the system, Seller shall prepare records evidencing all inspections made under the system and the outcome. These records shall be kept complete and made available to the Government and Buyer during Contract performance and for as long afterwards as the Contract requires. The Government and Buyer may perform reviews and evaluations as reasonably necessary to ascertain compliance with this paragraph. These reviews and evaluations shall be conducted in a manner that will not unduly delay the Contract Work. The right of review, whether exercised or not, does not relieve Seller of the obligations under the Contract nor impose any liability on the Government or Buyer therefor.
   
3. The Government and Buyer have the right to inspect and test all Supplies called for by the Contract, to the extent practicable, at all places and times, including the period of manufacture, and in any event before final acceptance. The Government and Buyer shall perform inspections and tests in a manner that will not unduly delay the Contract Work. The Government and Buyer assume no contractual obligation to perform any inspection and test for the benefit of Seller unless specifically set forth elsewhere in this Contract.
   
4. If the Government or Buyer performs inspection or test on the premises of Seller or its subcontractors, Seller shall furnish, and shall require its subcontractors to furnish, without additional charge, all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenient performance of these duties. Except as otherwise provided in the Contract, the Government shall bear the expense of Government inspections or tests made at other than Seller’s or its subcontractors’ premises; provided, that in case of rejection, the Government shall not be liable for any reduction in the value of inspection or test samples.
   
5. (1) When Supplies are not ready at the time specified by Seller for inspection or test, the Contracting Officer or Buyer may charge to Seller the additional cost of inspection or test. (2) The Contracting Officer or Buyer may also charge Seller for any additional cost of inspection or test when prior rejection makes re-inspection or retest necessary.
   
6. The Government or Buyer has the right, in accordance with this clause and other clauses of this Contract, including the clause entitled “DELIVERY OF COMPLETED VESSEL,” either to reject or to require correction of nonconforming Supplies. Supplies are nonconforming when they are defective in material workmanship or are otherwise not in conformity with contract requirements. The Government or Buyer may reject nonconforming Supplies with or without disposition instructions. Supplies rejected prior to preliminary acceptance as not conforming to this Contract, and any Seller responsible defects discovered during the warranty period, in accordance with the clause entitled “WARRANTY PERIOD,” shall, at the election of the Government or Buyer be replaced or corrected either by the Government, Buyer or by Seller. The Government or Buyer shall furnish advance notification of the time (i) when Seller inspection or tests will be performed and Government or Buyer will, whenever practicable, afford Seller an opportunity to examine the nonconforming Contract Work or defective Supplies before they are replaced or corrected. If the Government or Buyer elect to effect replacement or correction by the Government or Buyer, the Government or Buyer shall equitably reduce the target price or, if established, the total final price.
   
7. Seller shall remove Supplies rejected or required to be corrected by Seller. However, the Contracting Officer or Buyer may require or permit correction in place, promptly after notice. Seller shall not tender for acceptance corrected or rejected Supplies without disclosing the former rejection or requirement for correction, and, when required, shall disclose the corrective action taken. Subject to the provisions of paragraph (i) below, cost of removal, replacement, or correction shall be considered a cost incurred, or to be incurred, in the total final negotiated cost. However, replacements or corrections by Seller after the establishment of the total final price shall be at no increase in the total final price.
   
8. If Seller fails to promptly remove, replace, or correct rejected Supplies that are required to be removed or to be replaced or corrected, the Government or Buyer may either (1) by contract or otherwise, remove, replace, or correct the Supplies and equitably reduce the target price or, if established, the total final price or (2) may terminate the Contract for default. Unless Seller corrects or replaces the Supplies within the delivery schedule, the Contracting Officer or Buyer may require their delivery and equitably reduce any target price or, if it is established, the total final Contract Price. Failure to agree to a price reduction shall be a dispute.
   
9. The cost of any removal, replacement or correction for which Seller is responsible shall be borne by Seller in accordance with paragraphs (g) and (h) above, except that the liability of Seller for the correction of defects discovered during the warranty period (other than defects resulting from fraud or gross mistakes amounting to fraud). An increase in the Contract Price on account of any replacement or correction for which Seller is not responsible shall be determined pursuant to the clause of this Contract entitled “CHANGES.”
   
10. (1) If this Contract provides for the performance of Government quality assurance at source, and if requested by the Government or Buyer, the Seller shall furnish advance notification of the time (i) when Seller inspection or tests will be performed in accordance the terms and conditions of the Contract; and (ii) when the Supplies will be ready for inspection. (2) The Government’s or Buyer’s request shall specify the period and method of the advance notification and the Government or Buyer representative to whom it shall be furnished.
    
11. The Government or Buyer shall accept or reject Supplies as provided in the Contract. The Government’s or Buyer’s failure to inspect and accept or reject the Supplies shall not relieve Seller from responsibility, nor impose liability on the Government or Buyer, for nonconforming Supplies.
    
12. Inspections and tests by the Government or Buyer do not relieve Seller of responsibility for defects or other failures to meet Contract requirements discovered before final acceptance. Final acceptance shall be conclusive, except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud or as otherwise provided in the Contract.
    
13. If final acceptance is not conclusive for any of the reasons in paragraph (l) hereof, the Government or Buyer, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law, or under other provisions of this Contract, shall have the right to require Seller (1) at no increase in any target price or if it is established, the total final price of this Contract, to correct or replace the defective or nonconforming Supplies; provided, that the Contracting Officer or Buyer may require a reduction in any target price, or if it is established, the total final price Supplies at the original point of delivery or at Seller’s plant at the Contracting Officer’s or Buyer’s election, and in accordance with a reasonable delivery schedule as may be agreed upon between Seller and Buyer, if Seller fails to meet such delivery schedule, or (2) within a reasonable time after receipt by Seller of notice of defects or nonconformance, to repay such portion of the Contract as is equitable under the circumstances if the Contracting Officer or Buyer elects not to require correction or replacement. When Supplies are returned to Seller, Seller shall bear the transportation cost from the original point of delivery to Seller’s plant and return to the original point when that point is not Seller’s plant. If Seller fails to perform or act as required in (1) or (2) above and does not cure such failure within a period of 10 days (or such longer period as the Contracting Officer or Buyer may authorize in writing) after receipt of notice from the Contracting Officer or Buyer specifying such failure, the Government or Buyer shall have the right by contract or otherwise to replace or correct such Supplies and equitably reduce any target price or, if it is established, the total final price of this Contract.

5252.243-9105 NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES (FT) - ALTERNATE I (JAN 1983)

1. Definitions. As used in this requirement, the term “Contracting Officer” does not include any representative of the Contracting Officer whether or not such representative is acting within the scope of his authority nor does it include any other individuals or activities that in any way communicate with Buyer or Seller. As used in this requirement, the term “conduct” includes both actions and failures to act, and includes the furnishing of, or the failure to furnish, any item under any provision of this Contract.
   
2. Notice. The primary purpose of this requirement is to obtain prompt reporting of any conduct which the Seller considers would constitute or would require a change to this Contract. The parties acknowledge that proper administration of this Contract requires that potential changes be identified and resolved as they arise. Therefore, except for changes identified as such in writing and signed by the Contracting Officer or Buyer, Seller shall notify Buyer’s Procurement Representative of any conduct which Seller considers would constitute or would require a change to this Contract. Such notice shall be provided promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days from the date Seller identifies any such conduct. The Notice shall be written and shall state, on the basis of the most accurate information available to Seller: (i) the date, nature, and circumstances of the conduct regarded as a change; (ii) the name, function, and activity of the individuals directly involved in or knowledgeable about such conduct; (iii) the identification of any documents and the substance of any oral communication involved in such conduct; (iv) the particular elements of contract performance for which Seller might seek an equitable adjustment under this requirement, including: (1) what ship(s) have been or might be affected by the potential change; (2) to the extent practicable, labor or materials or both which have been or might be added, deleted, or wasted by the potential change; (3) to the extent practicable, Seller’s preliminary order of magnitude estimate of cost and schedule effect of the potential change; and (4) what and in what manner are the particular technical requirements or contract requirements regarded as changed.
   
3. Continued Performance. Except as provided in paragraph (f) below, following submission of notice, Seller shall take no action to implement a potential change until advised by Buyer’s Procurement Representative in writing as provided in (d) below, unless the potential change was previously directed by the Contracting Officer to Buyer, in which case Seller shall conform therewith. Nothing in this paragraph (c) shall excuse Seller from proceeding with Contract Work other than implementation of the potential change or from proceeding in accordance with directions issued by the Contracting Officer to Buyer.
   
4. Government Response. The Contracting Officer shall promptly, and in any event within twenty one (21) calendar days after receipt of Notice, respond thereto in writing to Buyer, who in turn, will respond promptly to Seller. In such response, the Contracting Officer shall either:
   
   1. Confirm that the conduct of which Seller gave notice would constitute a change, and when necessary, direct the mode of further performance, or;
      
   2. Countermand any conduct regarded by Seller as a change, or;
      
   3. Deny that the conduct of which Seller gave notice would constitute a change and, when necessary, direct the mode of further performance, or;
      
   4. In the event Seller’s notice information is inadequate to make a decision under (i), (ii) or (iii) above, advise Seller what additional information is required. Failure of the Government to respond within the time required above shall be deemed a countermand under (d)(ii).
      
5. Equitable Adjustments. Equitable adjustments for changes confirmed or countermanded by the Contracting Officer shall be made in accordance with the clause of this contract entitled “CHANGES”, or any other requirement of this contract which provides for an equitable adjustment.
   
6. Special Procedures. Paragraph (c) provides that Seller is to take no action to implement a potential change pending the Contracting Officer’s response to Seller’s notice of the potential change, except where specifically directed by the Contracting Officer to Buyer. In special situations, however, where
   
   1. The circumstances do not allow sufficient time to notify the Contracting Officer of the facts prior to the need to proceed with the work, and;
      
   2. The work must proceed to avoid hazards to personnel or property or to avoid additional cost to the Government, Seller may proceed with work in accordance with the potential change. In such special situations, Seller shall advise Buyer’s Procurement Representative so that he/she may also advise the Contracting Officer in writing within ten (10) days of the conduct giving rise to the potential change that Seller has proceeded and shall describe the nature of the special situation which required proceeding prior to notification. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the conduct giving rise to the potential change, Seller shall provide notice as required in (b) above. The Contracting Officer shall respond as set forth in (d) above to Buyer, who will pass through the notice to Seller. If the Contracting Officer determines that the conduct constitutes a change and countermands it, Seller shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment for performance in accordance with that change prior to the countermand including performance resulting from the countermand.
      
7. When Seller identifies any conduct which may result in delay to delivery of the ship(s), Seller shall promptly so inform Buyer’s Procurement Representative so that he/she may inform the Contracting Officer thereof prior to providing the notice required by paragraph (b) above.

5252.243-9113 OTHER CHANGE PROPOSALS (FT) (ALTERNATE I) (JAN 1990) [Modified by Buyer]

1. The Buyer’s Procurement Representative may propose engineering changes pursuant to other requirements of this Contract, and in addition to issuing changes pursuant to the clause of this Contract, and may propose other changes within the general scope of this Contract as set forth below. The changes may also arise if proposed by the Government.
2. Pending execution of a bilateral agreement or the direction of Buyer’s Procurement Representative pursuant to the “CHANGES” clause, Seller shall proceed diligently with performance without regard to the effect of any such proposed change.
3. In the event that a change proposed by Buyer’s Procurement Representative is not incorporated into the Contract, the work done by Seller in preparing the estimate in accordance with subparagraph (a) above shall be treated as if ordered by Buyer under the “CHANGES” clause. Seller shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the Contract cost and fee for the effort required under subparagraph (a), but Seller shall not be entitled to any adjustment in delivery date. Failure to agree to such equitable adjustment in the Contract cost and fee shall be a dispute within the meaning of the clause of this Contract entitled “DISPUTES” (FAR 52.233-1).

In interpreting the requirements of these clauses, “Contracting Officer” should be considered to be Buyer’s Procurement Representative and “Government” should be considered to be Buyer, unless the context indicates otherwise.

2. At the end of paragraph (b), add the following:
   “In addition to its other remedies, the Government or Buyer may, by contract or otherwise, with respect to work terminated as permitted in this clause, proceed with the completion of the Vessel(s) and Supplies at such plant or plants, including that of Seller, as may be designated by the Contracting Officer or Buyer. If the Vessel(s) and other Supplies are to be completed at Seller’s plant, the Government or Buyer may use all tools, machinery, facilities and equipment of Seller determined by the Contracting Officer or Buyer to be necessary for that purpose. The Government or Buyer shall also have the right, in the event performance is completed at Seller’s plant, to procure any additional Supplies, tools, machinery, facilities, and equipment that are necessary to complete the Vessel(s) and other Supplies. If the cost to the Government or Buyer of completing the Vessel(s) and other Supplies or procuring Supplies similar to those terminated (after adjusting such cost to exclude the effect of changes in the plans and specifications made subsequent to the date of termination) exceeds the price fixed for such Vessel(s) and other Supplies under this contract (after adjusting such price on account of changes in the plans and specifications made prior to the date of termination), Seller, or its surety, if any, shall be liable for such excess.”

252.227-7013 RIGHTS IN TECHNICAL DATA--NONCOMMERCIAL ITEMS (FEB 2014)

1. Definitions. As used in this clause--
   1. Computer data base means a collection of data recorded in a form capable of being processed by a computer. The term does not include computer software.
   2. Computer program means a set of instructions, rules, or routines recorded in a form that is capable of causing a computer to perform a specific operation or series of operations.
   3. Computer software means computer programs, source code, source code listings, object code listings, design details, algorithms, processes, flow charts, formulae and related material that would enable the software to be reproduced, recreated, or recompiled. Computer software does not include computer data bases or computer software documentation.
   4. Computer software documentation means owner's manuals, user's manuals, installation instructions, operating instructions, and other similar items, regardless of storage medium, that explain the capabilities of the computer software or provide instructions for using the software.
   5. Covered Government support contractor means a contractor (other than a litigation support contractor covered by 252.204-7014) under a contract, the primary purpose of which is to furnish independent and impartial advice or technical assistance directly to the Government in support of the Government's management and oversight of a program or effort (rather than to directly furnish an end item or service to accomplish a program or effort), provided that the contractor--
      1. Is not affiliated with the prime contractor or a first-tier subcontractor on the program or effort, or with any direct competitor of such prime contractor or any such first-tier subcontractor in furnishing end items or services of the type developed or produced on the program or effort; and
      2. Receives access to technical data or computer software for performance of a Government contract that contains the clause at 252.227-7025, Limitations on the Use or Disclosure of Government-Furnished Information Marked with Restrictive Legends.
   6. Detailed manufacturing or process data means technical data that describe the steps, sequences, and conditions of manufacturing, processing or assembly used by the manufacturer to produce an item or component or to perform a process.
   7. Developed means that an item, component, or process exists and is workable. Thus, the item or component must have been constructed or the process practiced. Workability is generally established when the item, component, or process has been analyzed or tested sufficiently to demonstrate to reasonable people skilled in the applicable art that there is a high probability that it will operate as intended. Whether, how much, and what type of analysis or testing is required to establish workability depends on the nature of the item, component, or process, and the state of the art. To be considered "developed," the item, component, or process need not be at the stage where it could be offered for sale or sold on the commercial market, nor must the item, component, or process be actually reduced to practice within the meaning of Title 35 of the United States Code.
   8. Developed exclusively at private expense means development was accomplished entirely with costs charged to indirect cost pools, costs not allocated to a government contract, or any combination thereof.
      1. Private expense determinations should be made at the lowest practicable level.
      2. Under fixed-price contracts, when total costs are greater than the firm-fixed-price or ceiling price of the contract, the additional development costs necessary to complete development shall not be considered when determining whether development was at government, private, or mixed expense.
   9. Developed exclusively with government funds means development was not accomplished exclusively or partially at private expense.
   10. Developed with mixed funding means development was accomplished partially with costs charged to indirect cost pools and/or costs not allocated to a government contract, and partially with costs charged directly to a government contract.
   11. Form, fit, and function data means technical data that describes the required overall physical, functional, and performance characteristics (along with the qualification requirements, if applicable) of an item, component, or process to the extent necessary to permit identification of physically and functionally interchangeable items.
   12. Government purpose means any activity in which the United States Government is a party, including cooperative agreements with international or multi-national defense organizations, or sales or transfers by the United States Government to foreign governments or international organizations. Government purposes include competitive procurement, but do not include the rights to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose technical data for commercial purposes or authorize others to do so.
   13. Government purpose rights means the rights to--
       1. Use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose technical data within the Government without restriction; and
       2. Release or disclose technical data outside the Government and authorize persons to whom release or disclosure has been made to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose that data for United States government purposes.
   14. Limited rights means the rights to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose technical data, in whole or in part, within the Government. The Government may not, without the written permission of the party asserting limited rights, release or disclose the technical data outside the Government, use the technical data for manufacture, or authorize the technical data to be used by another party, except that the Government may reproduce, release, or disclose such data or authorize the use or reproduction of the data by persons outside the Government if--
       1. The reproduction, release, disclosure, or use is--
          1. Necessary for emergency repair and overhaul; or
          2. A release or disclosure to--
             1. A covered Government support contractor in performance of its covered Government support contract for use, modification, reproduction, performance, display, or release or disclosure to a person authorized to receive limited rights technical data; or
             2. A foreign government, of technical data other than detailed manufacturing or process data, when use of such databy the foreign government is in the interest of the Government and is required for evaluational or informational purposes;
       2. The recipient of the technical data is subject to a prohibition on the further reproduction, release, disclosure, or use of the technical data; and
       3. The contractor or subcontractor asserting the restriction is notified of such reproduction, release, disclosure, or use.
   15. Technical data means recorded information, regardless of the form or method of the recording, of a scientific or technical nature (including computer software documentation). The term does not include computer software or data incidental to contract administration, such as financial and/or management information.
   16. Unlimited rights means rights to use, modify, reproduce, perform, display, release, or disclose technical data in whole or in part, in any manner, and for any purpose whatsoever, and to have or authorize others to do so.
2. Rights in technical data. The Contractor grants or shall obtain for the Government the following royalty free, world-wide, nonexclusive, irrevocable license rights in technical data other than computer software documentation (see the Rights in Noncommercial Computer Software and Noncommercial Computer Software Documentation clause of this contract for rights in computer software documentation):

      8. Data in which the Government has obtained unlimited rights under another Government contract or as a result of negotiations; or
      9. Data furnished to the Government, under this or any other Government contract or subcontract thereunder, with--

         1. Prior to release or disclosure, the intended recipient is subject to the non-disclosure agreement at 227.7103-7 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS); or
         2. The recipient is a Government contractor receiving access to the data for performance of a Government contract that contains the clause at DFARS 252.227-7025, Limitations on the Use or Disclosure of Government-Furnished Information Marked with Restrictive Legends.
      4. The Contractor has the exclusive right, including the right to license others, to use technical data in which the Government has obtained government purpose rights under this contract for any commercial purpose during the time period specified in the government purpose rights legend prescribed in paragraph (f)(2) of this clause.

3. Contractor rights in technical data. All rights not granted to the Government are retained by the Contractor.
4. Third party copyrighted data. The Contractor shall not, without the written approval of the Contracting Officer, incorporate any copyrighted data in the technical data to be delivered under this contract unless the Contractor is the copyright owner or has obtained for the Government the license rights necessary to perfect a license or licenses in the deliverable data of the appropriate scope set forth in paragraph (b) of this clause, and has affixed a statement of the license or licenses obtained on behalf of the Government and other persons to the data transmittal document.
5. Identification and delivery of data to be furnished with restrictions on use, release, or disclosure.
   1. This paragraph does not apply to restrictions based solely on copyright.
   2. Except as provided in paragraph (e)(3) of this clause, technical data that the Contractor asserts should be furnished to the Government with restrictions on use, release, or disclosure are identified in an attachment to this contract (the Attachment). The Contractor shall not deliver any data with restrictive markings unless the data are listed on the Attachment.
   3. In addition to the assertions made in the Attachment, other assertions may be identified after award when based on new information or inadvertent omissions unless the inadvertent omissions would have materially affected the source selection decision. Such identification and assertion shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer as soon as practicable prior to the scheduled date for delivery of the data, in the following format, and signed by an official authorized to contractually obligate the Contractor: Identification and Assertion of Restrictions on the Government's Use, Release, or Disclosure of Technical Data.
      
      The Contractor asserts for itself, or the persons identified below, that the Government's rights to use, release, or disclose the following technical data should be restricted--
      
      
      

      Technical data to be Furnished With Restrictions (1)	Basis for Assertion (2)	Asserted Rights Category (3)	Name of Person Asserting Restrictions (4)
      (LIST)	(LIST)	(LIST)	(LIST)

      
      
      1. If the assertion is applicable to items, components or processes developed at private expense, identify both the data and each such items, component, or process.
      
      2. Generally, the development of an item, component, or process at private expense, either exclusively or partially, is the only basis for asserting restrictions on the Government's rights to use, release, or disclose technical data pertaining to such items, components, or processes. Indicate whether development was exclusively or partially at private expense. If development was not at private expense, enter the specific reason for asserting that the Government's rights should be restricted.
      
      3. Enter asserted rights category (e.g., government purpose license rights from a prior contract, rights in SBIR data generated under another contract, limited or government purpose rights under this or a prior contract, or specifically negotiated licenses).

      (End of identification and assertion)
      
      
      
   4. When requested by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall provide sufficient information to enable the Contracting Officer to evaluate the Contractor's assertions. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to add the Contractor's assertions to the Attachment and validate any listed assertion, at a later date, in accordance with the procedures of the Validation of Restrictive Markings on Technical Data clause of this contract.
6. Marking requirements. The Contractor, and its subcontractors or suppliers, may only assert restrictions on the Government's rights to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose technical data to be delivered under this contract by marking the deliverable data subject to restriction. Except as provided in paragraph (f)(5) of this clause, only the following legends are authorized under this contract: the government purpose rights legend at paragraph (f)(2) of this clause; the limited rights legend at paragraph (f)(3) of this clause; or the special license rights legend at paragraph (f)(4) of this clause; and/or a notice of copyright as prescribed under 17 U.S.C. 401 or 402.
   
   
   1. General marking instructions. The Contractor, or its subcontractors or suppliers, shall conspicuously and legibly mark the appropriate legend on all technical data that qualify for such markings. The authorized legends shall be placed on the transmittal document or storage container and, for printed material, each page of the printed material containing technical data for which restrictions are asserted. When only portions of a page of printed material are subject to the asserted restrictions, such portions shall be identified by circling, underscoring, with a note, or other appropriate identifier. Technical data transmitted directly from one computer or computer terminal to another shall contain a notice of asserted restrictions. Reproductions of technical data or any portions thereof subject to asserted restrictions shall also reproduce the asserted restrictions.

       2. The data are available to the public without restrictions.
          
          
    2. The limitation in paragraph (j)(1) of this clause--
       1. Includes costs charged by a subcontractor or supplier, at any tier, or costs incurred by the Contractor to acquire rights in subcontractor or supplier technical data, if the subcontractor or supplier has been paid for such rights under any other Government contract or under a license conveying the rights to the Government; and
       2. Does not include the reasonable costs of reproducing, handling, or mailing the documents or other media in which the technical data will be delivered.
11. Applicability to subcontractors or suppliers.
    1. The Contractor shall ensure that the rights afforded its subcontractors and suppliers under 10 U.S.C. 2320, 10 U.S.C. 2321, and the identification, assertion, and delivery processes of paragraph (e) of this clause are recognized and protected.
       
       
    2. Whenever any technical data for noncommercial items, or for commercial items developed in any part at Government expense, is to be obtained from a subcontractor or supplier for delivery to the Government under this contract, the Contractor shall use this same clause in the subcontract or other contractual instrument, including subcontracts or other contractual instruments for commercial items, and requireits subcontractors or suppliers to do so, without alteration, except to identify the parties. This clause will govern the technical data pertaining to noncommercial items or to any portion of a commercial item that was developed in any part at Government expense, and the clause at 252.227-7015 will govern the technical data pertaining to any portion of a commercial item that was developed exclusively at private expense. No other clause shall be used to enlarge or diminish the Government's, the Contractor's, or a higher-tier subcontractor's or supplier's rights in a subcontractor's or supplier's technical data.
       
       
    3. Technical data required to be delivered by a subcontractor or supplier shall normally be delivered to the next higher-tier contractor, subcontractor, or supplier. However, when there is a requirement in the prime contract for data which may be submitted with other than unlimited rights by a subcontractor or supplier, then said subcontractor or supplier may fulfill its requirement by submitting such data directly to the Government, rather than through a higher-tier contractor, subcontractor, or supplier.
       
       
    4. The Contractor and higher-tier subcontractors or suppliers shall not use their power to award contracts as economic leverage to obtain rights in technical data from their subcontractors or suppliers. (5) In no event shall the Contractor use its obligation to recognize and protect subcontractor or supplier rights in technical data as an excuse for failing to satisfy its contractual obligations to the Government.

252.234-7002 EARNED VALUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (Deviation 2015-O0017) (SEPT 2015)

**(Government to complete at contract award)

1. Definitions. As used in this clause--
   Acceptable earned value management system means an earned value management system that generally complies with system criteria in paragraph (b) of this clause.
   Earned value management system means an earned value management system that complies with the earned value management system guidelines in the ANSI/EIA-748.
   Significant deficiency means a shortcoming in the system that materially affects the ability of officials of the Department of Defense to rely upon information produced by the system that is needed for management purposes.
2. System criteria. In the performance of this contract, the Contractor shall use--
   1. An Earned Value Management System (EVMS) that complies with the EVMS guidelines in the American National Standards Institute/Electronic Industries Alliance Standard 748, Earned Value Management Systems (ANSI/EIA-748); and
   2. Management procedures that provide for generation of timely, reliable, and verifiable information for the Contract Performance Report (CPR) and the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) required by the CPR and IMS data items of this contract.
3. If this contract has a value of $100 million or more, the Contractor shall use an EVMS that has been determined to be acceptable by the Cognizant Federal Agency (CFA). If, at the time of award, the Contractor's EVMS has not been determined by the CFA to be in compliance with the EVMS guidelines as stated in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause, the Contractor shall apply its current system to the contract and shall take necessary actions to meet the milestones in the Contractor's EVMS plan.
4. If this contract has a value of less than $100 million, the Government will not make a formal determination that the Contractor's EVMS complies with the EVMS guidelines in ANSI/EIA-748 with respect to the contract. The use of the Contractor's EVMS for this contract does not imply a Government determination of the Contractor's compliance with the EVMS guidelines in ANSI/EIA-748 for application to future contracts. The Government will allow the use of a Contractor's EVMS that has been formally reviewed and determined by the CFA to be in compliance with the EVMS guidelines in ANSI/EIA-748.
5. The Contractor shall submit notification of any proposed substantive changes to the EVMS procedures and the impact of those changes to the CFA. If this contract has a value of $100 million or more, unless a waiver is granted by the CFA, any EVMS changes proposed by the Contractor require approval of the CFA prior to implementation. The CFA will advise the Contractor of the acceptability of such changes as soon as practicable (generally within 30 calendar days) after receipt of the Contractor's notice of proposed changes. If the CFA waives the advance approval requirements, the Contractor shall disclose EVMS changes to the CFA at least 14 calendar days prior to the effective date of implementation.
6. The Government will schedule integrated baseline reviews as early as practicable, and the review process will be conducted not later than 180 calendar days after--
   1. Contract award;
   2. The exercise of significant contract options; and
   3. The incorporation of major modifications.
      
      During such reviews, the Government and the Contractor will jointly assess the Contractor's baseline to be used for performance measurement to ensure complete coverage of the statement of work, logical scheduling of the work activities, adequate resourcing, and identification of inherent risks.
7. The Contractor shall provide access to all pertinent records and data requested by the Contracting Officer or duly authorized representative as necessary to permit Government surveillance to ensure that the EVMS complies, and continues to comply, with the performance criteria referenced in paragraph (b) of this clause.
8. When indicated by contract performance, the Contractor shall submit a request for approval to initiate an over-target baseline or over-target schedule to the Contracting Officer. The request shall include a top-level projection of cost and/or schedule growth, a determination of whether or not performance variances will be retained, and a schedule of implementation for the rebaselining. The Government will acknowledge receipt of the request in a timely manner (generally within 30 calendar days).
9. Significant deficiencies.
   1. The Contracting Officer will provide an initial determination to the contractor, in writing, on any significant deficiencies. The initial determination will describe the deficiency in sufficient detail to allow the Contractor to understand the deficiency.
   2. The Contractor shall respond within 30 days to a written initial determination from the Contracting Officer that identifies significant deficiencies in the Contractor's EVMS. If the Contractor disagrees with the initial determination, the Contractor shall state, in writing, its rationale for disagreeing.
   3. The Contracting Officer will evaluate the Contractor's response and notify the Contractor, in writing, of the Contracting Officer's final determination concerning--
      1. Remaining significant deficiencies;
      2. The adequacy of any proposed or completed corrective action;
      3. System noncompliance, when the Contractor's existing EVMS fails to comply with the earned value management system guidelines in the ANSI/EIA-748; and
      4. System disapproval, if initial EVMS validation is not successfully completed within the timeframe approved by the Contracting Officer, or if the Contracting Officer determines that the Contractor's earned value management system contains one or more significant deficiencies in high-risk guidelines in ANSI/EIA-748 standards (guidelines 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 30, or 32). When the Contracting Officer determines that the existing earned value management system contains one or more significant deficiencies in one or more of the remaining 16 guidelines in ANSI/EIA-748 standards, the contracting officer will use discretion to disapprove the system based on input received from functional specialists and the auditor.
   4. If the Contractor receives the Contracting Officer's final determination of significant deficiencies, the Contractor shall, within 45 days of receipt of the final determination, either correct the significant deficiencies or submit an acceptable corrective action plan showing milestones and actions to eliminate the significant deficiencies.
10. Withholding payments. If the Contracting Officer makes a final determination to disapprove the Contractor's EVMS, and the contract includes the clause at 252.242-7005, Contractor Business Systems, the Contracting Officer will withhold payments in accordance with that clause.
11. With the exception of paragraphs (i) and (j) of this clause, the Contractor shall require its subcontractors to comply with EVMS requirements as follows:
    1. For subcontracts valued at $100 million or more, the following subcontractors shall comply with the requirements of this clause:
