Contractor500 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 We're working on a proposal and the RFP states one of the "volume's shall include information for insertion into DFARS 252.227-7017 at time of award, or if "none", so state." Not sure what this means. Can someone provide guidance? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ji20874 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Have you read DFARS 252.227-7017? Go ahead and do it now -- I'll wait... Welcome back! You saw that the clause has spaces where the offeror provides information -- those are called fill-ins. You should provide the information as you want it to appear in the future contract.

Not sure what this means. If you (or your suppliers through you as prime) will not be required to deliver technical data or computer software/documentation per the contemplated contract, DFARS 252.227-7017 is not relevant to you and you may insert "none." This area is highly complicated and you may wish to engage a recognized expert to help you. The clause affords you and your suppliers the right to claim that certain aspects of the technical data or computer software/documentation required to be delivered by the contract, were developed at private expense (not with government contract money). Therefore, you may assert that Government may have more restrictions on its use instead of the broader rights it may otherwise have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
