GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. DEFINITIONS (ASPR 7-103.1 AFPI 7-403.1)
As used throughout this contract, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth
below:
(a) The term "Secretary" means the Secretary, the Under Secretary, or any Assistant Secre-
tary, or any Assistant Secretary of the Department, and the head or any assistant head of the
Federal agency; and the term "his duly authorized representative" means any person or persons
or board (other than the Contracting Officer) authorized to act for the Secretary.
(b) The term "Contracting Officer" means the person executing this contract on behalf of
the Government, and any other officer or civilian employee who is a properly designated Contract-
ing Officer; and the term includes, except as otherwise provided in this contract, the author-
ized representative of a Contracting Officer acting within the limits of his authority.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this contract, the term "subcontracts" includes pur-
chase orders under this contract.
(d) (AFPI 7-303.1) The term "contract work" means all work to be performed under this con-
tract including any studies covering fundamental, theoretical, or experimental investigations;
any extension of the investigative findings and theories of a scientific or technical nature into
practical application; any tangible items, hereinafter referred to as "supplies," furnished to
the Government; and any reports, data, computations, plans, drawings, and specifications with
respect to any of the foregoing.
The Contracting Officer may, at any time by a written order, make changes in or additions to
the drawings and specifications, issue additional instructions, require additional work within
the general scope of the contract, or change the place of delivery, method of shipment, or the
amount of Government-Furnished property. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in
the estimated cost of, or the time required for performance of this contract, or otherwise af-
fects any other provision of this contract, an equitable adjustment shall be made (i) in the
estimated cost or delivery schedule, or both, (ii) in the amount of any fixed fee to be paid to
the Contractor, and (iii) in such other provisions of the contract as may be so affected, and
the contract shall be modified in writing accordingly. Any claim by the Contractor for adjust-
ment under this clause must be asserted within sixty (60) 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 asserted at
any time prior to final payment under this contract. Failure to agree to any adjustment shall
be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause of this contract en-
titled "Disputes." However, nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding
with the contract as changed.
3. LIMITATION OF COST (ASPR 7-203.3 AFPI 7-403.3)
(a) It is estimated that the total cost to the Government, exclusive of any fixed fee, for
the performance of this contract will not exceed the estimated cost set forth in the Schedule,
and the Contractor agrees to use its best efforts to perform the work specified in the Schedule
and all obligations under this contract within such estimated cost. If at any time the Contrac-
tor has reason to believe that the costs which it expects to incur in the performance of this
contract in the next succeeding thirty (30) days, when added to all cost previously incurred,
will exceed eighty-five percent (85%) of the estimated cost then set forth in the Schedule, or
if at any time, the Contractor has reason to believe that the total cost to the Government, ex-
clusive of any fixed fee, for the performance of this contract will be substantially greater or
less than the then estimated cost thereof, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer
in writing to that effect, giving its revised estimate of such total cost for-the performance of
this contract.
.(b) The Government shall not be obligated to reimburse the Contractor for costs incurred in
excess of the estimated cost set forth in the Schedule and the Contractor shall not be obligated
to continue performance under the contract or to incur costs in excess of the estimated cost set
forth in the Schedule, unless and until the Contracting Officer shall have notified the Contrac-
tor in writing that such estimated cost has been increased and shall have specified in such no-
tice a revised estimated cost which shall thereupon constitute the estimated cost of performance
of this contract. When and to the extent that the estimated cost set forth in the Schedule has
(CPFF Aug. 1, 1960)

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/16: CIA-RDP89B00709R000200500026-4
been increased, any cost incurred by the Contractor in excess of such estimated cost prior to
the increase in estimated cost shall be allowable to the same extent as if such costs had been
incurred after such increase in estimated cost.
4. ALLOWABLE COST, FIXED FEE, AND PAYMENT (ASPR 7-402.3 AFPI 7-403.4)
(a) For the performance of this contract, the Government shall pay to the Contractor:
(i) the cost thereof (hereinafter referred to as "allowable cost") determined by the
Contracting Officer to be allowable in accordance with --
(A) Part 2 of Section XV of the Armed Services Procurement Regulation as in effect
on the date of this contract; and
(B) the terms of this contract; and
(ii) such fixed fee, if any, as may be provided for in the Schedule.
(b) Once each month (or at more frequent intervals, if approved by the Contracting Officer)
the Contractor may submit to an authorized representative of the C.O., in such form and reason-
able detail as such representative may require, an invoice or public voucher supported by a state-
ment of cost incurred by the Contractor in the performance of this contract and claimed to con-
stitute allowable cost.
(c) Promptly after receipt of each invoice or voucher the Government shall, subject to the
provisions of (d) below, make payment thereon as approved by the C.O. Payment of the fixed
fee, if any, shall be made to the Contractor as specified in the Schedule; provided, however,
that after payment of eighty-five percent (85%) of the fixed fee set forth in the Schedule,
further payment on account of the fixed fee shall be withheld until a reserve of either fifteen
percent (15%) of the total fixed fee, or one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), whichever is
less, shall have been set aside.
(d) At any time or times prior to final payment under this contract the Contracting Officer
may have invoices or vouchers and statements of cost audited. Each payment theretofore made
shall be subject to reduction for amounts included in the related invoice or voucher which are
found by the Contracting Officer on the basis of such audit, not to constitute allowable cost.
Any payment may be reduced for overpayments, or increased for underpayments, on preceding in-
voices or vouchers.
(e) On receipt and approval of the invoice or voucher designated by the Contractor as the
"completion invoice" or "completion voucher" and upon compliance by the Contractor with all the
provisions of this contract (including, without limitation, the provisions relating to patents
and the provisions of (f) below, the Government shall promptly pay to the Contractor any balance
of allowable cost, and any part of the fixed fee which has been withheld pursuant to (c) above
or otherwise not paid to the Contractor. The completion invoice or voucher shall be submitted
by the Contractor promptly following completion of the work under this contract but in no event
later than one (1) year (or such longer period as the Contractor Officer may in his discretion
approve in writing) from the date of such completion.
(f) The Contractor agrees that any refunds, rebates, credits, or other amounts (including
any interest thereon) accruing to or received by the Contractor or any assignee under this con-
tract shall be paid by the Contractor to the Government, to the extent that they are properly
allocable to costs for which the Contractor has been reimbursed by the Government under this
contract. Reasonable expenses incurred by the Contractor for the purpose of securing such re-
funds, rebates, credits, or other amounts shall be allowable costs hereunder when approved by
the Contracting Officer. Prior to final payment under this contract, the Contractor and each
assignee under this contract whose assignment is in effect at the time of final payment under
this contract shall execute and deliver:
(i) an assignment to the Government, in form and substance satisfactory to the Contracting
Officer, of refunds, rebates, credits, or other amounts (including any interest thereon) properly
allocable to costs for which the Contractor has been reimbursed by the Government under this con-
tract; and
(ii) a release discharging the Government, its officers, agents, and employees from all
liabilities, obligations, and claims arising out of or under this contract, subject only to the
following exceptions --
(A) specified claims in stated amounts or in estimated amounts where the amounts are
not susceptible of exact statement by the Contractor;

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/16: CIA-RDP89B00709R000200500026-4
(B) claims, together with reasonable expenses incidental thereto, based upon liabili-
ties of the Contractor to third parties arising out of the performance of this contract; pro-
vided that such claims are not known to the Contractor on the date of the execution of the re-
lease; and provided further that the Contractor gives notice of such claims in writing to the
Contracting Officer not more than six (6) years after the date of the release or the date of any
notice to the Contractor that the Government is prepared to make final payment, whichever is
earlier; and
(C) claims for reimbursement of costs (other than expenses of the Contractor by rea-
son of any idemnification of the Government against patent liability), including reasonable ex-
penses incidental thereto, incurred by the Contractor under the provisions of this contract re-
lating to patents.
(g) Any cost incurred by the Contractor under the terms of this contract which would consti-
tute allowable cost under the provisions of this clause shall be included in determining the
amount payable under this contract, notwithstanding any provisions contained in the specifications
or other documents incorporated in this contract by reference, designating services to be per-
formed or materials to be furnished by the Contractor at its expense or without cost to the
Government.
3. INSPECTION AND CORRECTION OF DEFECTS (AFPI 7-403.5)
(a) All work under this contract shall be subject to inspection and test by the Government,
to the extent practicable at all reasonable times and places including the period of performance,
and in any event prior to final acceptance. The Contractor shall provide and maintain an in-
spection system acceptable to the Government covering the work hereunder. The Government, through
any authorized representative, may inspect the plant or plants of the Contractor or of any of its
subcontractors engaged in the performance of this contract. If any inspection or test is made by
the Government on the premise of the Contractor or a subcontractor, the Contractor shall provide
and shall require subcontractors to provide all reasonable facilities and assistance for the
safety and convenience of the Government inspectors in the performance of their duties. All in-
spections and tests by the Government shall be performed in such a manner as will not unduly de-
lay the work. Final inspection and acceptance by the Government shall be made as promptly as
practicable after delivery. The time and place of delivery, final inspection, and acceptance
shall be as set forth in the Schedule.
(b) The Contractor warrants that the services rendered in the performance of this contract
will conform to the requirements of this contract and to high professional standards in the field,
and that any article delivered to the Government under this contract will conform to the require-
ments of this contract and will not be defective in material or workmanship.
(c) At any time during performance of this contract, but not later than six (6) months (or
such other period as may be provided in the schedule) after final acceptance, the Government may
require the Contractor to remedy by correction or replacement as directed by the Contracting Of-
ficer, any failure by the Contractor to comply with its obligations under paragraph (b) hereof.
Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (d) hereof, the cost of any such replacement or cor-
rection shall be included in "Allowable Cost" determined as provided in the clause of this con-
tract entitled "Allowable Cost, Fixed Fee and Payment," but no additional fee shall be payable
with respect thereto. Corrected articles shall not be tendered again for acceptance unless the
former tender and the requirement of correction is disclosed. If the Contractor fails to pro-
ceed with reasonable promptness to perform such replacement or correction, the Government (i)
may by contract or otherwise perform such replacement or correction and charge to the Contrac-
tor any increased cost occasioned the Government thereby, or may reduce any fixed fee payable
under this contract (or require repayment of any fixed fee theretofore paid) in such amount as
may be equitable under the circumstances; or (ii) in the case of articles not delivered, may
require the delivery of such articles and shall have the right to reduce any fixed fee payable
under this contract (or to require repayment of any fixed fee theretofore paid) in such amount
as may be equitable under the circumstances; or (iii) may terminate this contract for default as
provided in the clause of this contract entitled "Termination." Failure to agree on the amount
of any such increased cost to be charged to the Contractor or to such reduction in, or repayment
of, the fixed fee shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the
clause of this contract entitled "Disputes".
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (c) hereof, the Government may at any time
require the contractor to remedy by correction or replacement, without cost to the Government,
any failure by the Contractor to comply with its obligations under paragraph (b) hereof, if such
failure is due to fraud, lack of good faith, or willful misconduct on the part of any of the con-
tractor's directors or officers, or on the part of any of its managers, superintendents, or other
equivalent representatives, who has supervision or direction of (i) all or substantially all of
the Contractor's business; or (ii) all or substantially all of the Contractor's operations at any

one plant or separate location in which this contract is being performed; or (iii) a separate
and complete major industrial operation in connection with the performance on this contract.
Fraud, lack of good faith, or willful misconduct on the part of any such supervisory personnel
shall be deemed to include the selection of individual employees or the retention of employees
after any of such supervisory personnel has reason to believe that such employees are habitually
careless or otherwise unqualified.
(e) Corrected articles tendered as replacements shall be subject to the provisions of this
clause in the same manner and to the same extent as supplies originally delivered under this con-
tact.
(f) The Contractor shall make its records of all inspection work available to the Government
during the performance of this contract and for such longer periods as may be specified in this
contract.
(g) Except as provided in this clause and as may be provided in the schedule, the Contractor
shall have no obligation or liability to correct or replace supplies or lots of supplies which at
the time of delivery are defective in materials or workmanship or otherwise not in conformity
with the requirements of this contract.
(h) Except as otherwise provided in the schedule, the contractor's obligation to correct or
replace Government-furnished property (which is property in the possession of or acquired directly
by the Government and delivered or otherwise made available to the contractor) shall be governed
by the provisions of the clause of this contract entitled "Government Property." LRev. No. 6,
3/21/58)
6. ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS (ASPR 7-103.8 AFPI 7-403.6),
(a) Pursuant to the provisions of the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended (31 U.S.
Code 203, 41 U.S. Code 15), if this contract provides for payments aggregating $1,000 or more,
claims for monies due or to become due the Contractor from the Government under this contract
may be assigned to a bank, trust company, or other financing institution, including any Federal
Lending agency, and may thereafter be further assigned and reassigned to any such institution.
Any such assignment 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 provision 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.
(b) In no event shall copies of this contract or of any plans, specifications, or other sim-
ilar documents relating to work under this contract, if marked "Top Secret", "Secret", or "Con-
fidential", 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 as-
signee upon the prior written authorization of the Contracting Officer.
7. RECORDS (ASPR 7-203.7 AFPI 7-403.7)
(a)(1) The Contractor agrees to maintain books, records, documents and other evidence per-
taining to the costs and expenses of this contract (hereinafter collectively called the "records")
to the extent and in such detail as will properly reflect all net costs, direct and indirect, of
labor, materials, equipment, supplies and services, and other costs and expenses of whatever na-
ture for which reimbursement is claimed under the provisions of this contract. The Contractor's
accounting procedures and practices shall be subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer;
provided, however, that no material change will be required to be made in the Contractor's account-
ing procedures and practices if they conform to generally accepted accounting practices and if the
costs properly applicable to this contract are readily ascertainable therefrom.
(2) The Contractor agrees to make available at the office of the Contractor at all reason-
able times during the period set forth in subparagraph (4) below any of the records for inspection,
audit or reproduction by any authorized representative of the Department or of the Comptroller
General.
(3) In the event the Comptroller General or any of his duly authorized representatives .
determines that his audit of the amounts reimbursed under this contract as transportation charges
will be made at a place other than the office of the Contractor, the Contractor agrees to deliver,
with the reimbursement voucher covering such charges or as may be otherwise specified within two
years after reimbursement of charges covered by any such voucher, to such representative as may
be designated for that purpose through the Contracting Officer such documentary evidence in support
of transportation costs as may be required by the Comptroller General or any of his duly authorized
representatives.

require, which approval or ratification shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this

ance with the provisions of this contract;

extend credit to any purchaser, and (B) may acquire any such property under the conditions pre-
scribed by and at a price or prices approved by the Contracting Officer; and provided further

as the Contracting Officer may direct;

the Notice of Termination; and
(ix) take such action as may be necessary, or as the Contracting Officer may direct, for
the protection.and preservation of the property related to this contract which is in the posses-
sion of Contractor in which the Government has or may acquire an interest. The Contractor shall
proceed immediately with the performance of the above obligations notwithstanding any delay in
determining or adjusting the amount of the fee, or any item of reimbursable cost, under this
clause. At any time after expiration of the plant clearance period, as defined in Section VIII,
Armed Services Procurement Regulation, as it may be amended from time to time, the Contractor
may submit to the Contracting Officer a list, certified as to quantity and quality, of any or all
items of termination inventory not previously disposed of, exclusive of items the disposition of

the effective date of termination, unless one' or more extensions in writing are granted by the
Contracting Officer, upon request of the Contractor made in writing within such one year period
or authorized extension thereof. However, if the Contracting Officer determines that the facts
Justify such action, he may receive and act upon any such termination claim at any time after
such one year period or any extension thereof.,, Upon failure of the Contractor to submit its
termination claim within the time allowed, the-Contracting Officer may, subject to any Settle-
ment Review Board approvals required by Section VIII of the Armed Services Procurement Regula-
tion in effect as of the date of execution of this contract, determine, on the basis of informa-
tion available to him, the amount, if any, due to the Contractor by reason of the termination
and shall thereupon pay to the Contractor'the amount so determined.
(d) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (c), and subject to any Settlement Review Board

fee) to the Contractor by reason of the .total or partial termination of work pursuant to this
clause. The contract shall be amended accordingly, and the Contractor shall be paid the agreed
amount.

ance with this contract, not previously paid to the Contractor for the performance of this con-
tract prior to the effective date of the Notice of Termination, and such of these costs as may
continue for a reasonable time thereafter with the approval of or as directed by the Contracting
Officer; provided, however, that the Contractor shall proceed as rapidly as practicable to dis-
continue such costs;
(B) there shall be included therein so far as not included under (A) above, the cost
of settling and paying claims arising out of the termination of work under subcontracts or orders,
as provided in.paragraph (b)(v) above, which are properly chargeable to the terminated portion

(C) there shall be included therein the reasonable costs of settlement, including

tion of termination inventory; provided, however, that if the termination is for default of the
Contractor there shall not be included any amounts for the preparation of the Contractor's set-
tlement proposal; and
(D) there shall be included therein a portion of the fee payable under the contract
determined as follows --
(I) in the event of the termination of this contract for the convenience of the Gov-
ernment and not for the default of the Contractor, there shall be paid a percentage of the fee
equivalent to the percentage of the completion of work contemplated by the contract, less fee
payments previously made hereunder; or
(II) in the event of the termination of this contract for the default of the Contrac-
tor, the total fee payable shall be such proportionate part of the fee (or, if this contract
calls for articles of different types, of such part of the fee as is reasonably allocable to the

type of article under consideration) as the total number of articles delivered to and accepted
by the Government bears to the total number of articles of a like kind called for by this con-
tract; if the amount determined under this subparagraph (i) is less than the total payment there-
tofore made to the Contractor, the Contractor shall repay to the Government the excess amount; or
(ii) if the settlement includes only the fee, the amount thereof will be determined in
accordance with subparagraph (1)(D) above.
(f) The Contractor shall have the right of appeal under the clause of this contract entitled
"Disputes," from any determination made by the Contracting Officer under paragraphs (c) or (e)
above, except that if the Contractor has failed to submit its claim within the time provided in
paragraph (c) above and has failed to request extension of such time, it shall have no such right
of appeal. In any case where the Contracting Officer has made a determination of the amount due
under paragraph (c) or (e) above, the Government shall pay to the Contractor the following:. (i)
if there is no right of appeal hereunder or if no timely appeal has been taken, the amount so;

suant to the provisions of this,clause and not otherwise recovered by or credited to the Govern-
ment.
(h) In the event of a partial termination, the portion of the fee which is payable with
respect to the work under the continued portion of the contract shall be equitably adjusted by
agreement between the Contractor and the Contracting Officer, and such adjustment shall be evi-
denced by an amendment to this contract.
(i) The Government may from time to time,: nde such terms and conditions as it may pre-
scribe, make partial payments and payments on accou t against costs incurred by the Contractor
in connection with the terminated portion of the d9nnfa:ct whenever in the opinion of the Con-
tracting Officer the aggregate of such payments shd be within the amount to which the Contrac-
tor will be entitled hereunder. If the total of such payments is in excess of the amount final-
ly determined to be due under this clause, such excess shall be payable by the Contractor to the
Government upon demand, together with interest computed 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 interest shall be charged
with respect to any such excess payment attributable 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 such retention or disposition, or such later date as determined by the Contracting Of-
ficer by reason of the circumstances.
(j) The provisions of this clause relating to the fee shall be inapplicable if this contract
does not provide for payment of a fee.
Except with respect to defaults of subcontractors, the Contractor shall not be in default
by reason of any failure in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (includ-
ing any failure by the Contractor to make progress in the prosecution of the work hereunder which
endangers such performance) if such failure arises out of causes beyond the control and without
the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Such causes may include, but are not restricted to:
acts of God or of the public enemy; acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contrac-
tual 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 con-
trol and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. If the failure to perform is caused
by the failure of a subcontractor to perform or make progress, and if such failure arises out
of causes beyond the control of both the Contractor and subcontractor, and without the fault or
negligence of either of them, the Contractor shall not be deemed to be in default, unless (i) the
supplies or services to be furnished by the subcontractor were obtainable from other sources, (ii)
the Contracting Officer shall have ordered the Contractor in writing to procure such supplies or
services from such other sources, and (iii) the Contractor shall have failed to comply reasonably
with such.order. Upon request of the Contractor, the Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts
and extent of such failure and, if he shall determine that any failure to perform was occasioned by
any one or more of the said causes, the delivery schedule shall be revised accordingly, subject to
the rights of the Government under the clause hereof entitled "Termination."
