43.201 General. a) In general, government contracts contain an amendment clause that allows the customer to make unilateral changes in certain areas of the general scope of the contract. These are carried out by modification orders written on the standard form 30, modification of the application / modification of the contract (SF 30), unless otherwise stated (see 43.301). (b) The Contractor shall continue to perform the Contract as amended, except that, in the case of reimbursement contracts or contracts financed by supplements, it shall not be required to continue performance or incur costs beyond the limits set out in the cost limitation or budget limitation clause (see 32.706-2). c) In exceptional or urgent circumstances, the client may issue a change order electronically without SF 30, provided that the notification contains essentially the information required by SF 30 and immediate action is taken to issue SF 30. 43.202 Authority to issue amending orders. Amending orders are issued by the contracting authority, unless the power of attorney is delegated to a public administrative official (see 42.202 (c)). 43 203 Accounting procedures for change orders. (a) Contractors` accounting systems are rarely designed to separate the costs of performing modified work; Therefore, before potential contractors submit tenders, the contracting entity should inform them of the possible need to revise their accounting procedures in order to comply with the cost separation requirements of the accounting clause on change orders pursuant to points 52.243 to 6.

b) The following categories of direct costs are generally distinct and responsible under the terms of the accounting clause of the change order: (1) One-time costs (e.B. engineering costs and costs of obsolete or rerun work). (2) Costs for additional individual work caused by the modification order (e.B. new subcontracting work, new prototypes or new modernisation or retrofit kits). (3) Recurring labour costs (e.B. labour and material costs). 43,204 Administration. (a) Documentation of the change order. If change orders are not evaluated on time, they need two documents: the change order and an additional agreement that reflects the appropriate adjustment of the contract terms that results from it.

If a reasonable adjustment to the contract price or delivery terms, or both, can be agreed in advance, only an additional agreement must be issued, but the administrative changes and modifications made under a clause that grants the government a unilateral right to make a change (for example. B an option clause) initially require only one document. (b) Definition. 1. Contract staff shall negotiate as soon as possible the appropriate adjustments resulting from the change orders. 2. Officials of administrative contracting entities negotiating appropriate adjustments within the framework of a delegation of power referred to in point (b)(1) of 42.302 shall obtain the consent of the contracting entity before adjusting the timetable for the performance of the contract. 3. Procurement offices and, where appropriate, contract management bodies shall set up tension systems capable of ensuring accurate identification and rapid definition of non-tariffed change orders. (4) The customer shall ensure that, if necessary, a cost analysis is conducted in accordance with paragraph 15.404-1(c) and shall consider the costs of the change separately from the contractor, if any.

If additional funds are needed as a result of the change, the contracting authority must obtain the funds before making an adjustment to the contract. 5. Where the contracting authority requires an on-the-spot review of prices for appropriate adjustment requests, it shall provide a list of all significant procurement events that may assist in the examination of the application. This list should include: (i) the date and dollar amount of the award and/or amendment; (ii) the date of submission of the initial contract proposal and the amount of the united states dollar; (iii) the date of the alleged delays or disruptions; (iv) the expected execution dates at the time of award and/or modification; (v) data on actual results; (vi) the date on which the right to appropriate rectification was established or, where appropriate, a decision was taken by the contracting entity; (vii) the date of certification of the request for correction, if a certificate is required; and (viii) data on relevant government actions or other material events during the performance of the Contract that may affect the Contractor`s appropriate adjustment request. (c) Complete and final fair adjustments. In order to avoid subsequent controversies that may arise from a supplementary agreement containing a fair adjustment following a modification order, the procuring entity – (1) should ensure that all elements of the fair adaptation have been submitted and resolved; and (2) include in the Addendum a press release similar to the following: Contractor`s Release Statement In light of the amendments agreed herein as full reasonable adjustments to the Contractor`s ___ (describe) ____ “Adjustment Proposal(s)”, the Contractor hereby releases the Government from any liability under this Agreement for any other reasonable adjustment resulting from such facts or circumstances. “suggestions” for adaptation ” (with the exception of __). 43,205 contractual clauses. a) (1) The customer shall insert clause 52.243-1, fixed price change, in invitations and contracts where a fixed price contract for deliveries is contemplated.

(3) Insofar as services (with the exception of architect-engineer, transport or research and development services) are to be provided and deliveries are to be made, the customer must apply the clause with its variant II.
