(i) method of shipment or packing

(ii) place, manner, or time of delivery.

(3) If such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or time required for, performance for any part of the work under this contract, the Contracting Officer may make equitable adjustment in the contract price, the delivery schedule, or both, and shall modify the contract.

(4) The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment under this clause within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the written order.

Electronic invoices should be filed promptly (i.e. once all credits and/or credit adjustments are made) and in any case, in fewer than 90 days after delivery.

(5) Invoice transactions may be submitted to DLA Troop Support daily; however, all internal debit/credit transactions must be completed prior to the submission of the invoice.

The vendor will be responsible for correction and re-submission.

(6) The same invoice cannot be submitted with different dollar amounts.

(7) For catch weight items, standard rounding methods must be observed, i.e. < 5: rounded down; = 5 or > 5: rounded up. All weights must be rounded to whole pounds using standard rounding methods.

Any line submitted for other than whole numbers will be rejected and require correction and re-submission by the vendor.

(8) Unit prices and extended prices must be formatted not more than two (2) decimal places to the right of the decimal point. STORES will not accommodate positions of 3 and above beyond the decimal point.
