Confidential business information may include technical data as that term is defined in DFARS ???? 252.227-7013(a)(14), 252.227-7015(a)(4), and 252.227-7018(a)(19). It may also include computer software as that term is defined in DFARS ???? 252.227-7014(a)(4) and 252.227-7018(a)(4). (b) The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) may release to individuals employed by SPAWAR support contractors and their subcontractor's confidential business information submitted by the contractor or its subcontractors pursuant to the provisions of this contract. Business information that would ordinarily be entitled to confidential treatment may be included in the information released to these individuals. Accordingly, by submission of a proposal or execution of this contract, the offeror or contractor and its subcontractors consent to a limited release of its confidential business information. (c) Circumstances where SPAWAR may release the contractor's or subcontractors' confidential business information include the following: (1) To other SPAWAR contractors and subcontractors, and their employees tasked with assisting SPAWAR in handling and processing information and documents in the administration of SPAWAR contracts, such as file room management and contract closeout. (2) To SPAWAR contractors and subcontractors, and their employees tasked with assisting SPAWAR in accounting support services, including access to cost- reimbursement vouchers. (d) SPAWAR recognizes its obligation to protect the contractor and its subcontractors from competitive harm that could result from the release of such information. SPAWAR will permit the limited release of confidential business information under paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) only under the following conditions: (1) SPAWAR determines that access is required by other SPAWAR contractors and their subcontractors to perform the tasks described in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2), (2) Access to confidential business information is restricted to individuals with a bona fide need to possess, (3) Contractors, their subcontractors, and their employees who are granted access to confidential business information have signed an appropriate non- disclosure agreement requiring them to provide the same level of protection to confidential business information that would be provided by SPAWAR employees, (4) Contractors and their subcontractors having access to confidential business information have agreed under their contract or a separate corporate non- disclosure agreement to provide the same level of protection to confidential business information that would be provided by SPAWAR employees, and (5) SPAWAR contractors and their subcontractors performing the tasks described in paragraphs (c)(1) or (c)(2) have agreed under their contract or a separate non-disclosure agreement to not use confidential business information for any purpose other than performing the tasks described in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2). (e) SPAWAR's responsibilities under the Freedom of Information Act are not affected by this clause. (f) If SPAWAR satisfies the conditions listed in paragraph (d), the contractor and its subcontractors agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Government, its agents, and employees from every claim or liability, including attorneys fees, court costs, and expenses, arising out of, or in any way related to, the misuse or unauthorized modification, reproduction, release, display, or disclosure of confidential business information provided by the contractor to the Government. (g) The contractor agrees to include, and require inclusion of, this clause in all subcontracts at any tier that requires the furnishing of confidential business information. H-360 STATE SALES TAX EXEMPTION (OCT 2003) (a) The contractor's price shall not include state sales tax, unless the location of the contractor's business is in a state that does not afford the Federal Government a tax exemption status under its state and local laws (e.g., Arizona, Hawaii). The contract price excludes all state and local taxes levied on or measured by the contract or sales price of the services or materials furnished under this contract. (b) To the extent that the guidance in FAR Part 31 and DFARS Part 231 applies to this contract, such tax or duty shall not constitute an allowable cost under this contract, unless specifically permitted by the Contracting Officer. (c) Contractors may be taxed by a state or local authority when procuring goods and services for performance of this contract. Such taxation does not constitute a tax levied on the Federal Government; rather it is a tax levied on the contractor for which the contractor is liable. However, the Federal Government is exempt from state and local taxation. Therefore, the contractor shall state separately on its invoices taxes excluded from the contract price, and the contracting officer agrees to either pay the amount of the taxes to the contractor or provide evidence necessary to sustain an exemption. (d) No exemption certificate is required.
