A. Carnegie Mellon University ("CMU") operates the Software Engineering Institute ("SEI"), a Federally Funded Research and Development Center ("FFRDC") sponsored by the Department of Defense and administered by the U.S. Air Force. The mission of CMU-SEI is to support the Nation's defense by advancing the science, technologies, and practices needed to acquire, develop, operate, and sustain software systems that are innovative, affordable, trustworthy, and enduring. To provide these services, CMU entered into U.S. Air Force Contract No. FA8702-15-D-0002, which includes a five-year base period and one five-year option period.

B. To facilitate the timely and effective discharge of CMU-SEI's FFRDC responsibilities, the U.S. government desires that CMU-SEI be given special access to Government, contractor, subcontractor, and supplier proprietary and sensitive information ("Proprietary Information") contemplated in Federal Acquisition Regulation ("FAR") Section 35.017(a)(2) and to protect such information for as long as it remains proprietary. To relieve CMU-SEI from the burden of negotiating separate, program-specific confidentiality or nondisclosure agreements with contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, as well as U.S. Government program offices, the SEI and the U.S. Government entered into a Non-Disclosure Agreement that is a part of U.S. Air Force Contract No. FA8702-15-D-0002 and available by clicking here (the "Blanket NDA"). The Blanket NDA sets forth the rights and obligations of CMU-SEI and the U.S. Government and the various prime contractors, subcontracts, and suppliers ("Disclosing Party" or "Disclosing Parties," as applicable) with respect to the use, handling, protection, and safeguarding of the Proprietary Information furnished to CMU-SEI for use on U.S. Government Programs ("Purpose").

C. Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Blanket NDA shall be applicable to Company Proprietary Information (as the term is defined in the referenced NDA) provided to the SEI in connection with the Purpose. This Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of the Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures (March 31, 2016).

D. By clicking "Submit" you hereby certify that you have the authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of Company for the purposes herein contained.
