852.236-72_Performance of Work by the Contractor - effective 01 Oct 2026.docx

This file is a federal contract clause titled "Performance of Work by the Contractor" (852.236-72), effective October 2026, designated as a deviation clause for use in Department of Veterans Affairs construction contracts.

The clause establishes requirements for contractor performance and scheduling transparency. Under the basic provision, contractors must submit a statement concurrently with the contract schedule identifying which portions of work will be performed by the contractor's own forces. The approved schedule serves as the basis for determining work activity values under this clause. Any changes to established activity identifiers or responsibility codes for contractor-performed work require prior written approval from the Contracting Officer. The clause includes an alternate provision (Alternate I) applicable to contracts utilizing a Network Analysis Schedule, requiring contractors to submit responsibility codes for all network activities to be performed by the contractor's forces, with activity costs used to determine the total value of work executed by contractor personnel. This clause applies to the Batavia VAMC Salt Barn construction project (Solicitation 36C24227B0008), a Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 project involving demolition of the existing salt barn, site preparation, electrical reconfiguration, earthwork, concrete work, asphalt installation, and roof installation.
