the ROD, GSA will explain all the
factors that were considered in reaching
its final decision, including the
environmental factors. GSA will
identify the environmentally preferable
alternative or alternatives and may
select one of the alternatives or a
combination of alternatives analyzed in
the EIS; (2) Undertake additional

requires an offeror to state, in response
to a solicitation, whether data proposed
for fulfilling the data delivery
requirements qualifies as limited rights
data or restricted computer software. If

unlimited rights, the offeror must
provide a list of the data that qualify as
limited rights data or restricted
computer software. The offeror would

any data to be delivered under this
clause, the Government will pay the

recordkeeping requirements is to ensure
that, if all data requirements are not
known prior to contract award, the
Government can fully evaluate the
research in order to ascertain future
activities and to insure that the research
was completed and fully reported, as
well as to give the public an opportunity
to assess the research results and secure
any additional information.
• FAR 52.227–17, Rights in DataSpecial Works. This clause is included
in solicitations and contracts primarily
for production or compilation of data. It
is used in rare and exceptional
circumstances to permit the
Government to limit the contractor’s
rights in data by preventing the release,
distribution, and publication of any data
first produced in the performance of the
contract. This clause may also be
limited to particular items and not the
entire contract. This clause requires
contractors to assign (with or without
registration), or obtain the assignment
of, the copyright to the Government or
its designated assignee.
• FAR 52.227–18, Rights in DataExisting Works. This clause is used
when the Government is acquiring
existing audiovisual or similar works,
such as books, without modification.
This clause requires contractors to
obtain license for the Government to
reproduce, prepare derivative works,
and perform and display publicly the
materials.
• FAR 52.227–19, Commercial
Computer Software License. This clause
requires contractors to affix a notice on
any commercial software delivered
under the contract that provides notice
that the Government’s rights regarding
the data are set forth in the contract.
• FAR 52.227–20, Rights in Data–
SBIR Program. This clause authorizes
contractors under Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts to
affix a notice to SBIR data delivered
under the contract to limit the
Government’s rights to disclose data
first produced under the contract.
Contractors shall obtain from their
subcontractors all data and rights
necessary to fulfill the contractor’s
obligations to the Government under the

contract. If a subcontractor refuses to
accept terms affording the Government
those rights, the contractor shall notify
the contracting officer of the refusal.
• FAR 52.227–21, Technical Data
Declaration, Revision, and Withholding
of Payment–Major Systems. This clause
requires major systems contractors to
certify that the data delivered under the
contract is complete, accurate, and
compliant with the requirements of the
contract.
