1. DEFINITIONS
As used throughout this contract, the following terms shall have the
meanings set forth below:
(a) The term "head of the agency" or "Secretary" means the Secre-
tary, the Under Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, or any other head or
assistant head of the executive or military department or other Federal
agency; and the term 'his duly authorized representative" means any
person or persons or board (other than the Contracting Officer) author-
ized to act for the head of the agency or the Secretary.
(b) The term "Contracting Officer" means the person executingthis
contract on behalf of the Government, and any other officer or civilian
employee who is a properly designated Contracting Officer; and the term
includes, except as otherwise provided in this contract, the authorized
representative of a Contracting Officer acting within the limits of his
authority.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this contract, the term "subcon-
tracts" includes purchase orders under this contract.
2. CHANGES
The Contracting Officer may at any time, by a written order, and
without notice to the sureties, make changes ,within the general scope of
this contract, in any one or more of the following: (1) Drawings, designs,
or specifications, where the supplies to be furnished are to be specially
manufactured for the Government in accordance therewith; (ii) method of
shipment or packing; and (iii) place of delivery. If any such change
causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for,
the performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether
changed or not changed by any such order, an equitable adjustment shall
be made in the contract price or delivery schedule, or both, and the con-
tract shall be modified in writing accordingly. Any claim by the Con-
tractor for adjustment under this clause must be asserted within 30 days
from the date of receipt by the Contractor of the notification of change:
Provided, however, That the Contracting Officer, if he decides that the
facts justify such action, may receive and act upon any such claim as-
serted at any time prior to final payment under this contract. Where the
cost of property made obsolete or excess as a result of a change is in-
cluded in the Contractor's claim for adjustment, the Contracting Officer
shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of such prop-
erty. Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute concerning a
question of fact within the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled
"Disputes." However, nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor
from proceeding with the contract as changed.
3. EXTRAS
Except as otherwise provided in this contract, no payment for extras
shall be made unless such extras and the price therefor have been au-
thorized in writing by the Contracting Officer.
4. VARIATION IN QUANTITY
No variation in the quantity of any item called for by this contract
will be accepted unless such variation has been caused by conditions of
loading, shipping, or packing, or allowances in manufacturing processes,
and then only to the extent, if any, specified elsewhere in this contract.
5. INSPECTION
(a) All supplies (which term throughout this clause includes without
limitation raw materials, components, intermediate assemblies, and
end products) shall be subject to inspection and test by the Government,
to the extent practicable at all times and places including the period of
manufacture, and in any event prior to acceptance.
(b) In case any supplies or lots of supplies are defective in material
or workmanship or otherwise not in conformity with the requirements of
this contract, the Government shall have the right either to reject them
(with or without instructions as to their disposition) or to require their
correction. Supplies or lots of supplies which have been rejected or
required to be corrected shall be removed or, if permitted or required
by the Contracting Officer, corrected in place by and at the expense of
the Contractor promptly after notice ,and shall not thereafter be tendered
for acceptance unless the former rejection or requirement of correction
is disclosed. If the Contractor fails promptly to remove such supplies
or lots of supplies which are required to be removed, or promptly to re-
place or correct such supplies or lots of supplies, the Government either
(I) may by contract or otherwise replace or correct such supplies and
charge to the Contractor the cost occasioned the Government thereby;
or (ii) may terminate this contract for default as provided in the clause
of this contract entitled 'Default.' Unless the Contractor corrects or
replaces such supplies within the delivery schedule, the Contracting Of-
ficer may require the delivery of such supplies at a reduction in price
which is equitable under the circumstances. Failure to agree to such re-
duction of price shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within
the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled 'Disputes."
(c) If any inspection or testis made by the Government on the prem-
ises of the Contractor or a subcontractor, the Contractor without addi-
tional charge shall provide all reasonable facilities and assistance for the
safety and convenience of the Government inspectors in the performance
of their duties. If Government inspection or testis made at a point other
than the premises of the Contractor or a subcontractor, it shall be at the
expense of the Government except as otherwiseprovided in this contract:
Provided, That in case of rejection the Government shall not be liable
for any reduction in value of samples used in connection with such in-
spection or test. All inspections and tests by the Government shall be
performed in such a manner as not to unduly delay the work. The Gov-
ernment reserves the right to charge to the Contractor any additional
cost of Government inspection and test when supplies are not ready at
the time such inspection and testis requested by the Contractor or when
reinspection or retest is necessitated by prior rejection. Acceptance
or rejection of the supplies shall be made as promptly as practicable
after delivery, except as otherwise provided in this contract; but failure
to inspect and accept or reject supplies shall neither relieve the Con-
tractor from responsibility for such supplies as are not in accordance
with the contract requirements nor impose liability on the Government
therefor.
(d) The inspection and test by the Government of any supplies or lots
thereof does not relieve the Contractor from any responsibility regarding
defects or other failures to meet the contract requirements which may
be discovered prior to acceptance. Except as otherwise provided in this
contract, acceptance shall be conclusive except as regards latent defects,
fraud, or such gross mistakes as amount to fraud.
(e) The Contractor shall provide and maintain an inspection system
acceptable to the Government covering the supplies hereunder. Records
of all inspection work by the Contractor shall be kept complete and
available to the Government during the performance of this contract and
for such longer period as may be specified elsewhere in this contract.
6. RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUPPLIES
Except as otherwise provided in this contract, (i)the Contractor shall
be responsible for the supplies covered by this contract until they are de -
livered at the designated delivery point, regardless of the point of in-
spection; (ii) after delivery to the Government at the designated point and
prior to acceptance by the Government or rejection and, giving notice
thereof by the Government, the Government shall be responsible for the
loss or destruction of or damage to the supplies only if such loss, de-
struction, or damage results from the negligence of officers,. agents, or
employees of the Government acting within the scope of their employ-
ment; and (iii) the Contractor shall bear all risks as to rejected supplies
after notice of rejection, except that the Government shall be responsible
for the loss, or destruction of, or damage to the supplies only if such
loss, destruction or damage results from the gross negligence of offi-
cers, agents, or employees of the Government actingwithin the scope of
their employment.

or vouchers, the prices stipulated herein for supplies delivered and ac-
cepted or services rendered and accepted, less deductions, if any, as
herein provided. Unless otherwise specified, payment will be made on
partial deliveries accepted by the Government when the amount due on
such deliveries so warrants; or, when requestedby the Contractor, pay-
ment for accepted partial deliveries shall be made whenever such pay-
ment would equal or exceed either $1,000 or 50 percent of the total

institution, including any Federal lending agency, and may thereafter be

or reassignment shall cover all amounts payable under this
contract and not already paid, and shall not be made to more than one
party, except that any such assignment or reassignment may be made to
one party as agent or trustee for two or more parties participating in
such financing. Notwithstanding any provisions of this contract, payments
to an assignee of any monies due or to become due under this contract
shall not, to the extent provided in said Act, as amended, be subject to
reduction or set-off. (The preceding sentence applies only if this con-
tract is with the Department of Defensethe General Services Adminis-
tration, the Atomic Energy Commission, or any other department or
agency of the United States designated by the President pursuant to clause
4 of the proviso of section 1 of the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as
amended by the Act of May 15, 1951, 65 Stat. 41.)
(b) In no event shall copies of this contract or of any plans, specifi-
cations, or other similar documents relating to workunder this contract,
if marked "Top Secret," 'Secret,' or "Confidential," be furnished to any
assignee of any claim arising under this contract or to any other person
not entitled to receive the same: Provided, That a copy of any part or
all of this contract so marked may be furnished, or any information
contained therein may be disclosed, to such assignee upon the prior
written authorization of the Contracting Officer. (See General Provision
33 - "Security Requirements.")

becomes unacceptable to the Government, or if any such surety fails to
furnish reports as to his financial condition from time to time as re-
quested by the Government, the Contractor shall promptly furnish such
additional security as may be required from time to time to protect the
interests of the Government and of persons supplying labor or materials
in the prosecution of the work contemplated by this contract.

clause shall be applicable only if the amount of the contract ex-
ceeds $2,500.00)

tract price includes all Federal, State, and local taxes and duties in effect
and applicable to this contract on the tax inclusive date, except taxes
(other than Federal transportation taxes) from whic h t he Government, the
Contractor, or the transactions or property covered by this contract are
then exempt. Unless specifically excluded, duties are included in the
contract price, and, if freight is included in the contract price, Federal
transportation taxes are likewise included.
(c) (1) If the Contractor is required to pay or bear the burden
(I) of any tax or duty, which either was not to be included in the
contract price pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (b), or was
specifically excluded from the contract price by a provision of this
contract; or
(ii) of an increase in rate of any tax or duty, whether or not such
tax or duty was excluded from the contract price;
or of any interest or penalty thereon, the contract price shall be cor-
respondingly increased; provided that the Contractor warrants in
writing that no amount for such tax, duty, or rate increase was in-
cluded in the contract price as a contingency reserve or otherwise; and
provided further that liability for such tax, duty, rate increase, in-
terest, or penalty was not incurred through the fault or negligence of
the Contractor or his failure to follow instructions of the Contracting Of -
ficer.
(2) If the Contractor is not required to pay or bear the burden,
or obtains ?a refund or drawback, in whole or in part, of any tax, duty, in
or penalty which (i) was to be included in the contract price
pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (b), (ii) was included in the
contract price, or (iii) was the basis of an increase in the contract
price, the contract price shall be correspondingly decreased or the
amount of such relief, refund, or drawback shall be paid to the Gov-
ernment, as directed by the Contracting Officer. The contract price
also shall be correspondingly decreased if the Contractor, through its
fault or negligence or its failure to follow instructions of the Con-
tracting Officer, is required to pay or bear the burden, or does not
obtain a refund or drawback of any such tax, duty, interest, or penalty.
Interest paid or credited to the Contractor incident to a refund of taxes
shall inure to the benefit of the Government to the extent that such in-
terest was earned after the Contractor was paid or reimbursed by the
Government for such taxes.

out further liability except as otherwise provided in this contract, to fur -
nish evidence appropriate to establish exemption from (i) any Federal
tax, which the Contractor warrants in writing was excluded from the con-
tract price, or (ii) any State or local tax; provided that evidence appro-
priate to establish exemption from duties will be furnished, and Govern-
ment bills of lading will be issued, only at the discretion of the Con-
tracting Officer. In addition, the Contracting Officer may furnish evi-
dence appropriate to establish exemption-from any tax that may, pursuant
to this clause, give rise to either an increase or decrease in the contract
price.
(e) (1) The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer
of all matters pertaining to Federal, State, and local taxes and duties
that reasonably may result in either an increase or decrease in the con-
tract price.
(2) Whenever an increase or decrease in the contractprice may
be required under this clause, the Contractor shall take action as di-
rected by the Contracting Officer, and the contract price shall be
equitably adjusted to cover the costs of such action, including any in-
terest, penalty, and reasonable attorney's fees.
11. DEFAULT
(a) The Government may, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c)
below, by written notice of default to the Contractor, terminate the whole
or any part of this contract in any one of the following circumstances:
(i) if the Contractor fails to make delivery of the supplies or to
perform the services within the time specified herein or any exten-
sion thereof; or
(ii) if the Contractor fails to perform any of the other provisions
of this contract, or so fails to make progress as to endanger per-
formance of this contract in accordance with its terms, and in either
of these two circumstances does not cure suchfailure within a peri-
od of 10 days (or such longer period as the Contracting Officer may
authorize in writing) after receipt of notice from the Contracting Of-
ficer specifying such failure.
(b) In the event the Governmentterminates this contract in whole or
In part as provided in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Government may
procure, upon such terms and in such manner as the Contracting Officer
may deem appropriate, supplies or services similar to those so ter-
minated, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any ex-
cess costs for such similar supplies or services: Provided, That the
Contractor shall continue the performance of this contract to the extent
not terminated under the provisions of this clause.
(c) Except with respect to defaults of subcontractors, the Contractor
shall not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the con-
tract arises out of causes beyond the control and without the fault or
negligence of the Contractor. Such causes may include, but are not re-
stricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of the Government
in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics,
quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe
weather; but in every case the failure to perform must be beyond the
control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. If the
failure to perform is caused by the default of a subcontractor, and if
such default arises out of causes beyond the control of both the Con-
tractor and subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of either
of them, the Contractor shall not be liable for any excess costs for fail-
ure to perform, unless the supplies or services to be furnished by the
subcontractor were obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to
permit the Contractor to meet the required delivery schedule.
(d) If this contract is terminated as provided in paragraph (a) of
this clause, the Government, in addition to any other rights provided in
this clause, may require the Contractor to transfer title and deliver to
the Government, in the manner and to the extent directed by the Con-
tracting Officer, (i) any completed supplies, and (ii) such partially com-
pleted supplies and materials, parts, tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, plans,

drawings, infdrmation, and contract rights (hereinafter called "manu-
facturing materials") as the Contractor has specifically produced or
specifically acquired for the performance of such part of this contract
as has been terminated; and the Contractor shall, upon direction of the
Contracting Officer, protect and preserve property in possession of the
Contractor in which the Government has an interest. Payment for
completed supplies delivered to and accepted by the Government shall
be at the contract price. Payment for manufacturing materials de-
livered to and accepted by the Government and for the protection and
preservation of property shall be in an amount agreed upon by the Con-
tractor and the Contracting Officer; failure to agree to such amount
shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of
the clause of this contract entitled "Disputes." The Government may
, withhold from amounts otherwise due the Contractor for such com-
pleted supplies or manufacturing materials such sum as the Contract-
ing Officer determines to be necessary to protect the Government against
loss because of outstanding liens or claims of former lien holders.
(e) If, after notice of termination of this contract under the pro-
visions of this clause, it is determined for any reason that the Contractor
was not in default under the provisions of this clause, or that the default
was excusable under the provisions of this clause, the rights and ob-
ligations of the parties shall, if the contract contains a clause providing
for termination for convenience of the Government, be the same as if
the notice of termination had been issued pursuant to such clause.
If, after notice of termination of this contract under the provisions
of this clause, it is determined for any reason that the Contractor was
not in default under the provisions of this clause, and if this contract
does not contain a clause providing for termination for convenience of
the Government, the contract shall be equitably adjusted to compensate
for such termination and the contract modified accordingly; failure to
agree to any such adjustment shall be a dispute concerning a question of
fact within the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled "Disputes."
(f) The rights and remedies of the Government provided in this
clause shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights
and remedies provided by law or under this contract.
12. DISPUTES
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this contract, any dispute
concerning a question of fact arising under this contract which is not
disposed of by agreement shall be decided by the Contracting Officer,
who shall reduce his decision to writing and mail or otherwise furnish
a copy thereof to the Contractor. The decision of the Contracting Of-
ficer shall be final and conclusive unless, within 30 days from the date
of receipt of such copy, the Contractor mails or otherwise furnishes
to the Contracting Officer a written appeal addressed to the Secre-
tary. The decision of the Secretary or his duly authorized representa-
tive for the determination of such appeals shall be final and conclu-
sive unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
been fraudulent, or capricious, or arbitrary, or so grossly erroneous
as necessarily to imply bad faith, or not supported by substantial evi-
dence. In connection with any appeal proceeding under this clause,
the Contractor shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer
evidence in support of its appeal. Pending final decision of a dispute
hereunder, the Contractor shall proceed diligently with the perform-
ance of the contract and in accordance with the Contracting Officer's
decision.
(b) This "Disputes" clause does not preclude consideration of law
questions in connection with decisions provided for in paragraph (a)
above: Provided, That nothing in this contract shall be construed as
making final the decision of any administrative official, representative,
or board on a question of law.

of eight hours or in excess of forty hours in a workweek without payment
of the required overtime wages.
(c) The Contracting Officer may withhold, or cause to be withheld,
from moneys payable on account of workperformedby the contractor or

curing business. For breach or violation of this warranty the Govern-
ment shall have the right to annul this contract without liability or in its

(a) The performance of work under this contract maybe terminated
by the Government in accordance withthis clause in whole, or from time

or materials delivered or services furnished by subc on -
trctors or vendors prior to the effective date of the No-
tice of Termination, which amounts shall be included in
the costs payable under (A) above; and
(C) a sum, as a profit, equal to 2percent ot that part of the
amount determined under (A) above which represents the
cost of articles and materials not processed by the Con -
tractor , plus a sum equal to 8percent of the remainder
of such amount, but the aggregate of such sums shall not
exceed 6 percent of the whole of the amount determined
under (A) above; provided, however, that if it appears
that the Contractor would have sustained a loss on the
entire contract had it been completed, no profit shall be

propriate adjustment shall be made reducing the amount
of the settlement to reflect the indicated rate of loss; and
(iii) the reasonable costs of settlement, including accounting,
legal, clerical, and other expenses reasonably necessary for
the preparation of settlement claims and supporting data with
respect to the terminated portion of the contract and for the

assumed the risk of loss, there shall be excluded from the amounts pay-
able to the Contractor as provided in (e) (1) and (ii) (A) above, the fair
value, as determined by the Contracting Officer, of property which is

mined to be due under this clause, such excess shall be payable by the
Contractor to the Government upon demand, together with interest com-
puted at the rate of 6 percent per annum, for the period from the date
such excess payment is received by the Contractor to the date on which
such excess is repaid to the Government; provided, however, that no in-
terest shall be charged with respect to any such excess payment attribut-
able to a reduction in the Contractor's claim by reason of retention or
other disposition of termination inventory until ten days after the date of
