It addresses the formation of the contract, assignment, changes, and compliance with laws, emphasizing that the seller's acceptance is binding and governed by Maryland state law. Key topics include confidentiality, inspection and acceptance of goods, force majeure, and indemnification, ensuring that both parties adhere to federal regulations and standards. Further, it integrates provisions from the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), emphasizing compliance with various federal laws and regulations regarding labor, discrimination, and payment disclosures. The contract mandates that the seller indemnifies the buyer from all claims and establishes that the buyer maintains ownership of intellectual property generated under the contract.
