Replacement contract
0 Replies
View Discussion

Does a contractor requesting contract termination due to their ability to complete the contract constitute a contract default and unlocks expired funds from that contract to be used towards the replacement contract? Additionally, if the replacement contract, not exceeding the scope of the original contract comes in higher than the funds received, would that constitute an in-scope upward adjustment to receive additional funding?

This is regarding a facilities contract for construction type work. The contractor who won the contract is having difficulty manging their subcontractors and is requesting termination of the contract. Approx. 30% of the funding remains and approximately half the work has been completed. The original funds on the contract are expired funds. Per AFMAN 65-605 7.3.1.1.8, there is a set of criteria outlining when expired funds can be used for a replacement contract. Would the contractors request for termination be considered a default? If so, if the replacement contract, while in scope, came in higher than the remaining funds to complete the work, would that be the same as a regular UOA process to secure additional funding?

Who pays for common parts for jointly funded programs

If the Air Force is the lead agency for a particular system (aircraft, weapon system etc) and the Marines also procures the same, is the AF responsible for procuring all the common parts since they are the lead agency, or is each agency responsible for their own parts?

annual software licenses, supply or service?
0 Replies
View Discussion

If you are paying an annual fee to use a software program for a year does that help determine if it is a supply or service?  This doesn't fit under Software as a service (SaaS) definition from the DoD ESI web site. The FAR seems to lean towards supply, however the DoD FMR seems to lean towards service.  Are there certain characteristics that can be reviewed to determine if the annual license is a supply or service?

Can a GFEBS DoDAAC be used to process a supply transaction i.e. HAZMAT waste?  I know this is an odd question but lucky me I was tasked to run this to ground.
