- Description
- The purpose of this notice is to cancel the solicitation in its entirety. The EPA did not clearly state its requirement in the current Statement of Work for this solicitation. EPA did not adequately describe its intended uses of the data (e.g., rulemaking and development of other policies) which necessitates that EPA be able to publish and disclose certain types of analyses of the data. Such uses might also require that EPA be able to retain raw data it uses in its analyses for a minimum of three (3) years, in order to comply with records retention schedules under the Federal Records Act. Furthermore, FAR 12.211 requires solicitations and contracts for technical data to include appropriate data rights provisions and clauses, but such provisions and clauses were not included in the solicitation. Finally, the EPA cannot agree to many of the standard terms and conditions included in licenses, including, but not limited to, indemnification provisions, statements to the affect that the license represents the entirety of the agreement between EPA and the vendor, and terms requiring disputes to be resolved by arbitration or in state courts under state law. A new solicitation will be forthcoming to address these issues in more detail.
