This document is an addendum to commercial agreements for the U. S. Senate, Office of the Sergeant at Arms (SAA). It outlines terms that will become binding parts of any contract, specifically addressing license agreements for software. The SAA accepts commercial terms only if they do not conflict with federal law and Senate procurement regulations. Key areas addressed include unauthorized obligations, third-party claims, automatic renewals, audit rights, taxes and fees, incorporation of other license terms, venue and choice of law, dispute resolution (excluding mandatory arbitration), equitable remedies, termination for default or convenience, gratuities, availability of funds, assignment by licensor, data protection, and unilateral modifications. The addendum also mentions a Request for Quotation (RFQ) 2026 R 007 for a hair care point of sale system, with a submission deadline of March 16, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST. Required documents should be sent via email to ***@***. *. * with a specific subject line.
The submission deadline for quotes for the hair care point of sale system is March 16, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST.
The SAA's obligation for payment is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds. No legal liability for payment arises until funds are made available to the contracting officer.
The addendum states that any language, provision, or clause requiring the SAA to pay any future fees, penalties, interest, or attorney fees that would create an antideficiency act violation is unenforceable against the SAA.
Disputes must be resolved in accordance with part 4 of the regulations. While a dispute is pending, the contractor shall proceed diligently with performance.
