Specifically, the Government may first evaluate the total quoted price of all Offerors. Thereafter, the Government will evaluate the quote of the lowest priced Offeror to ensure it conforms to the requirements set forth in the solicitation. If the lowest priced Offeror s quote is determined to conform to the requirements, the Government may make award to that Offeror without further evaluation of the remaining Offerors quotes. If the lowest priced Offeror s quote does not conform to the requirements, then the Government may evaluate the next lowest priced quote, and so forth and so on, until the Government reaches the lowest priced offer that is determined to conform to the requirements. However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate all Offerors quotes should VA determine it to be in the Government s best interest.

Definitions. Licensee. The term licensee shall mean the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ( VA ) and is synonymous with Government. 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 Contract/Order. Software. The term software shall mean the licensed computer software product(s) cited in the Schedule of Supplies/Services. 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. 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. 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. 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. Unless otherwise stated in the Schedule of Supplies/Services, the Statement of Work, the software license provided to the Government is a perpetual, nonexclusive license to use the software. The Government may use the software in a networked environment. 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). All limitations of software usage are expressly stated in the Schedule of Supplies/Services and the Statement of Work. (3). Software Maintenance and/or Technical Support. If the Government desires to continue software maintenance and support beyond the period of performance identified in this Contract/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. 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 to cause the software to perform according to its specifications, documentation or demonstrated claims. Any telephone support provided by Contractor shall be at no additional cost. The Contractor shall provide all maintenance services in a timely manner in accordance with the Contractor s customary practice or as defined in the Statement of Work. However, prolonged delay (exceeding two business days) in resolving software problems will be noted in the Government s various past performance records on the Contractor (e.g., www.cpars.gov). 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 key, 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/Order at no cost.
