Common use of Contractual Provisions Clause in Contracts

Contractual Provisions. Contracts containing provisioning requirements shall— (i) List the provisioning functions to be performed and who will perform them; (ii) Include a provisioning requirements statement or specify a time limit for its incorporation into the contract by modification (revisions to the provisioning requirements statement shall also be incorporated by contract modification); (iii) Include on the DD Form 1423, Contract Data Requirements List, a schedule for delivery of provisioning technical documentation, or provide for the schedule to be incorporated later by contract modification; (iv) Require flowdown of the appropriate provisioning technical documentation requirement when the subcontractor prepares the documentation; (v) Specify any applicable procedures for interim release by the contractor of long lead time items, and include ordering and funding instructions for such items. As a minimum, the instructions shall require the contractor to advise the contracting officer or provisioning activity at least 30 days before release of the items, their estimated costs, and the effective date of release; (vi) Specify the activity designated to issue provisioned items orders, i.e., contracting officer, provisioning activity, or administrative contracting officer. When it is expected that more than one activity will place provisioned items orders against the contract, state the requirements for provisioned items of each activity as separate contract line items; (vii) Provide a definitization schedule (normally 120 days after receipt of the contractor's proposal) and a timeframe for the contractor to furnish price proposals for provisioned items orders (normally 60 days after order issuance); (viii) Specify exhibit identifiers applicable to the contract line/subline items; and (ix) Include procedures for processing changes (including cancellations) in quantities of items ordered.
