Sec. 2452.239-71  Information Technology Virus Security.

    As prescribed in 2439.107(b), insert the following clause:

            Information Technology Virus Security (FEB 2006)

    (a) The contractor hereby agrees to make every reasonable effort to 
deliver information technology products to HUD free of known computer 
viruses. The contractor shall be responsible for examining all such 
products prior to their delivery to HUD using software tools and 
processes capable of detecting all known viruses.
    (b) The contractor shall include the following statement on 
deliveries of hardware, software, and data products, including 
diskettes, made under this contract:

[product description, part/catalog number, other identifier, and serial 
number, if any]

    ``This product has been scanned for known viruses using [name of 
virus-screening product, including version number, if any] and is 
certified to be free of known viruses at the time of delivery.''

    (c) The Contracting Officer may assess monetary damages against the 
contractor sufficient to compensate HUD for actual or estimated costs 
resulting from computer virus damage or malicious destruction of 
computer information arising from the contractor's failure to take 
adequate precautions to preclude delivery of virus-containing products 
in the delivery of hardware, software, or data on diskettes under this 
contract.
    (d) This clause shall not limit the rights of the government under 
any other clause of this contract.

                             (End of clause)
