452.211-73 Variation in Estimated Quantity (Sep 2025) If the actual quantity of a unit-priced item varies by more than 15% from the estimated quantity, either party may request an equitable adjustment in the contract price. The adjustment will be based on cost changes due to variations above 115% or below 85% of the estimated quantity. If this variation delays completion, the Contractor may request a time extension in writing. The request must be received by the Contracting Officer within 10 days of the delay's start or within such further period granted by the Contracting Officer before the final contract settlement. The Contracting

Officer will review the request and, if justified, extend the completion date.
