Add the following full text clauses to Appendix B, Applicable Provisions and Clauses: "CONTRACT AWARDS BY AGENCIES OTHER THAN DHS (using potential DFARS clauses) DHS/S&T has issued this BAA and shall evaluate White Papers and Full Proposals in accordance with the solicitation's terms and conditions. That said, potential offerors are put on notice that the DHS may elect to have other United States' federal agencies negotiate and ultimately award funding instruments under this BAA (which DHS/S&T evaluated and selected for negotiation). These other federal entities may include the: Department of Interior - National Business Center; Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), and/or Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR). Consequently, resultant funding instruments may deviate from the anticipated FAR clauses noted immediately above by substituting applicable Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) clauses. FOREIGN (JOINT) FUNDING - PROVISIONS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT(S) Under this BAA and as authorized by 6 U.S.C. § 195c, a resultant award may be jointly-funded by the DHS and either the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland or the Government of Australia. If jointly-funded, pursuant to those countries' international agreements with the DHS, certain contractual provisions must be included in the resultant funding instrument(s). Specifically, as required by both international agreements, their Article Ten, Contracting, indicates: DHS shall ensure suitable provisions to satisfy the requirements of Article 12 (Information Security), Article 13 (Intellectual Property Management and Use of Information), Article 14 (Publication of Research Results) and Article 17 (Third Party Sales and Transfers) are inserted into contracts awarded under this BAA, as well as have them require subcontracting flow-down of said provisions. To review these two international agreements, see the section titled, "Cooperation in Homeland/Civil Security Matters" at the following link: http://www.dhs.gov/files/international/counterterrorism.shtm."
