  1. My company is in the proposal phase for software deliverable to the NRO. We are asking the Air Force for help on this project by lending us some of their software, which we will integrate into ours for the deliverable to the NRO. The Air Force is asking to see our proposal that we are submitting to the NRO so they can see how we need to use their code so they can help us with the development of the integrated deliverable. My question is, does my company need an NDA in place with the Air Force before we share this proprietary information? Or is an NDA not needed (or even possible), because they are a government agency? Thank you
  2. My confusion is, if we proposed $5m total ($4m cost + $1m Fee), but then our cost went up to $6m, would we still only receive $1m (plus the $6m), or could we add fee on top of those new cost? It sounds like we cannot. Thank you for your replies.
  3. We have a 5 year CPFF contract for approx $10m. As I understand it, the Fee is fixed, so if our rates increase during the life of the contract, this would eat in to our Fee. Or do we get a chance to bill at the new higher rates, and increase the fee as well (or would this only apply to a cost plus percentage of cost)?
  4. Hi, My company is a subcontractor to a Prime who has a FAR 15 contract. We submitted a competitive FFP proposal, but are now being asked by the Prime to submit other than certified cost or pricing data in support of our proposal. Can someone tell me what types of information is requested when requesting "other than certified cost or pricing data?"
  5. Thank you for the reply. I understand how data rights are allocated under a government contract, how to assert ours, limit the governments, etc. That is not my question. My question is does the Prime need a license to what we deliver that is already protected, in order for them to use the IP in performance of their prime? I dont believe they receive much less Need a license to what we deliver, but am at a standstill with the prime over this.
  6. I am a subcontractor, and we have asserted our data rights in our proposal to the Prime, who has a government contract. We are now negotiating T's&C's, and the Prime is telling me that the language has to specifically state that they "get a license to use our IP in performance of the Prime, and allow third parties to do the same." I disagreed because I told them we will deliver whatever is a deliverable, and if it contains IP, we have protected it as our own, but they can still use the deliverable to perform there scope and no "license" is needed. Who is correct here?

  8. My company is a Subcontractor to a Prime who will be receiving a Prime contract from AFRL via an OTA. I understand how to assert and protect our IP before subcontract award, but my question is what rights do the parties have to any IP that is developed during contract performance? Does the IP belong to the government at that point? Does the Prime get any rights, and if so, which (Unlimited, Limited, Government Purpose)? Do we as the sub get any rights, and if so, which? Thank you
