    FAR 27.409 says not to use FAR 52.227-19 for GSA Schedule Orders.  What is the rationale for this?

    It’s because GSA has their own rules.  They have FAR deviations for software terms

    I might also add the same rationale that an agency would or would not used the clause as by my read the clause is not required.   The "may" in 27.409(g) along with  FAR 12.212 and 27.405-3.  Or in other words GSA has made a decision with regard to their GSA Schedules just as an agency would make a decision for any of its contracts.
