Insurance and indemnity requirements, information technology security policies, gratuities prohibitions, and a list of federal and company clauses incorporated by reference (e.g., Combating Trafficking in Persons, Equal Opportunity for Veterans, Buy American Act) are included. Special conditions apply for services performed on DOE sites, involving special items, or those with foreign country work or commercial computer software. Automatic renewals are prohibited, and compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and U.S. export control laws (ITAR, EAR, Atomic Energy Act) is mandatory. The document also describes the Employee Concerns Program/Differing Professional Opinions process and extensive requirements for the Protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), including permitted use, security safeguards (NIST SP 800-171), incident reporting, compliance, termination, audits, indemnification, and specific insurance requirements for PII handling.
