SECTION C - CONTRACT CLAUSES
C.1 TASK/DELIVERY ORDER INTRODUCTORY LANGUAGE
The terms and conditions of the Contractor's Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC), including any contract modifications, apply to all task or delivery orders issued under the contract as a result of this RFQ. When a lower price has been established, or when the delivery terms, FOB terms, or ordering requirements have been modified by the task/delivery order, those modified terms will apply to all purchases made pursuant to it and take precedence over the contract. Any unique terms and conditions of an order issued under the contract that are not a part of the applicable IDC will govern. In the event of an inconsistency between the terms and conditions of a task/delivery order and the Contractor's IDC, other than those identified above, the terms of the IDC will take precedence.
