2.1 Substitutions

This is a brand name or equal procurement. By mutual written agreement between the Contracting Officer and Contractor, items may be substituted for a similar item or brand when circumstances make it difficult to fill a particular item ordered within the guidelines. Changing formulation (brand) can cause severe digestive upset and lead to gastric distress. The distress will cause canines to be unavailable for training and effectively halt work. Consistency is paramount. Same formulation is considered the required salient characteristic for each item (52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal).

a. The contractor will be expected and required to deliver exact brands and sizes/units contained in the contract resulting from their proposal over the life of the contract unless a modification is issued and signed by the Contracting Officer and Contractor (52.212-4).

b. No substitutions will be authorized that change the unit or size of the ordered item to a smaller size unless the proposed substitute provides the same total units at the same price and prior approval is obtained from the Contracting Officer. Example: A proposed substitution of two 12-ounce packages in lieu of one 12-ounce package. Any proposed substitution must be approved by the Government prior to delivery.

c. No substitutions for a larger unit/size will be approved unless the price is the same as the smaller unit/size. Example: a proposed substitution for a 12-ounce package may be approved if the price is the same as the 10-ounce package.

6.2 Delivery Requirements
