Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, "DFARS 252.227-7017 Identification and Assertions," is a mandatory form for offerors to identify and assert any restrictions on the U.S. Government's rights to use, release, or disclose technical data or computer software provided as part of their proposal or contract. It is crucial for bidders to understand and correctly complete this form if they intend to assert any restrictions.

• Technical Data or Computer Software to be Furnished with Restrictions: A section to list the specific technical data or computer software for which the offeror is asserting restrictions.
• Basis for Assertion: Requires the offeror to state the justification for asserting restrictions, typically related to development at private expense (exclusive or partial).
• Asserted Rights Category: Requires the offeror to specify the type of rights being asserted (e.g., government purpose license rights, limited rights, restricted rights).
• Name of Person Asserting Restrictions: The entity (corporation, individual, etc.) making the assertion.
• Instructions: Detailed footnotes explain the requirements for completing each section, including what constitutes "development at private expense" and the different "asserted rights categories."

Bidders must use this form to declare any limitations on the government's use of technical data or software they provide. Failure to properly assert restrictions in accordance with DFARS 252.227-7017 may result in the government acquiring unlimited rights to that data or software. This form directly impacts the intellectual property rights associated with the offeror's submission and potential future contract performance.
