DEFINITIONS (NAFI 1002 – 4 Nov 2013)
As used throughout this contract, the following terms and abbreviations have the meanings set forth below:
a. Contract. An agreement that creates a legal obligation. The elements of a contract are a mutual agreement; between competent parties; for a legal purpose; involving the exchange of legal consideration; and that creates a mutuality of obligation to perform between the parties.
The term contract, as used herein, includes without limitation, formal bilateral contracts, purchase orders, consignment sales agreements, amendments and modifications thereto, as well as other agreements entered into by an authorized Contracting Officer acting within his or her authority.
b. Contracting Officer. An individual delegated the authority to legally bind the NAFI by entering into, modifying, administering, and terminating contracts.
c. Contractor. Any legal entity that is awarded a contract. The Contractor is the party responsible for and agrees to furnish supplies and/or services at specified prices/rates and/or to pay the NAFI mutually agreed to commissions and/or fees in conjunction with providing services to NAFI customers under this contract. Contractor may include, but is not limited to the following terms "vendor," "seller," "supplier," “manufacturer,” “distributor,” “concessionaire” and/or "licensee."
d. Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). An individual authorized in writing by a Contracting Officer to monitor Contractor performance and/or help administer a contract.
Definition applies to Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) and Alternate COR
(ACOR).
e. Day. A day means, unless otherwise provided, a 24 hour period of time denoted as midnight to midnight of a calendar day, unless the last day of a specified number of days within which the contractor must file a claim or notice with the contracting officer falls on Saturday, Sunday or a federal holiday, in which case the last day shall be the next business day denoted as Monday through Friday.
f. Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentality (NAFI). A DoD organizational and fiscal entity supported in whole or in part by Nonappropriated Funds. A NAFI, as an instrumentality of the
U.S. Government, enjoys the same immunities and privileges as the U.S. Government in the absence of specific Federal statute. It is not incorporated under the law of any State, but has the legal status of an instrumentality of the United States. References to United States, the Government, and other related references will generally be implied to mean the NAFI throughout this contract.
CLAIMS (NAFI 1003.1 – 26 Mar 2014)
a. The contract is not subject to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (41 U.S.C. 7101-7109). All disputes arising under or relating to this contract shall be resolved under this clause.
b. "Claims," as used in this clause, means the inability of a contractor and the contracting officer to reach a mutual agreement related to contractual issues in controversy resulting in the filing of a written demand or assertion seeking payment of money, adjustment or interpretation of contract, or other relief, and issuance of a contracting officer’s final decision. A voucher, invoice, or other routine request for payment that is not in dispute when submitted is not a claim under this clause. The submission may be converted to a claim under this clause, by complying with the submission requirements of this clause. if it is disputed either as to liability or amount or is not acted upon in a reasonable time.
c.
(1) A claim by the Contractor shall be made in writing and submitted to the Contracting Officer for a written decision. A claim by the NAFI against the Contractor shall be subject to a written decision by the Contracting Officer.
(2) For Contractor claims exceeding $150,000, the Contractor shall submit with the claim a certification that contains the following statement: “Subject to the False Claim Act, 31 USC 3729, I certify the claim is made in good faith; that the supporting data is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief; that the amount requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for which the Contractor believes the NAFI is liable; and that I am duly authorized to certify on behalf of the Contractor.”
d. For contract claims of $150,000 or less, the Contracting Officer must, if requested in writing by the Contractor, render a decision within 60 days of the request. For Contractor-certified claims over $150,000, the Contracting Officer must, within 60 days, decide the claim or notify the Contractor of the date by which the decision will be made.
e. The Contracting Officer's decision shall be final unless the contractor appeals as provided in paragraph (f) of this clause.

Decisions of the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals are final and are not subject to further appeal.

CLAIMS - EXCHANGES (NAFI 1003.2 – 26 Mar 2014)
a. This contract is subject to the Contracts Disputes Act of 1978, as amended (41 U.S.C. 7101- 7109), hereinafter called “The Act.”
b. Except as provided in the Act, all claims arising under or relating to this contract shall be resolved under this clause.
c. “Claim” as used in this clause, means the inability of a contractor and the contracting officer to reach a mutual agreement related to contractual issues in controversy resulting in the filing of a written demand or assertion, by one of the contracting parties seeking, as a matter of right, payment of money in a certain sum, adjustment or interpretation of contract terms, or other relief, arising under or relating to this contract. However, a written demand or written assertion by the Contractor seeking the payment of money exceeding $100,000 is not a claim under the Act until certified as required by Paragraphs e. and f. below. A claim arising under a contract, unlike a claim relating to that contract, is a claim that can be resolved under a contract clause that provides for the relief sought by the claimant. A voucher, invoice, or other routine request for payment that is not in dispute when submitted is not a claim under this clause. The submission may be converted to a claim under the Act, by complying with the submission and certification requirements of this clause, if it is disputed either as to liability or amount or is not acted upon in a reasonable time.
d. A claim by the contractor shall be made in writing and submitted to the Contracting Officer for a written decision. A claim by the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base (SJAFB) 4TH
FSS/NAF against the Contractor shall be made by a written decision by the Contracting Officer.
e. For Contractor claims exceeding $100,000, the Contractor shall submit with the claim a signed certification that, subject to the False Claim Act, 31 USC 3729:
(1) The claim is made in good faith;
(2) Supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of the Contractor’s knowledge and belief; and
(3) The amount requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for which the Contractor believes the SJAFB 4TH FSS/NAF is liable.

(1) For Contractor claims of $100,000 or less, the Contracting Officer must, if requested in writing by the Contractor, render a decision within 60 days of the request. For Contractor-certified claims over $100,000, the Contracting Officer must, within 60 days, decide the claim or notify the Contractor of the date by which the decision will be made.
(2) The Contracting Officer shall mail, or otherwise furnish, a written decision in response to a Contractor claim within the time periods specified by law. Such decision will be final and conclusive unless:
(a) Within 90 calendar days from the date of the Contractor’s receipt of the final decision, the Contractor appeals the decision to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA).
(b) Within 12 months from the date of the Contractor’s receipt of the final decision, the Contractor brings an action in the United States Court of Federal Claims.
g. The NAFI shall pay interest on the amount found due and unpaid from (1) the date the Contracting Officer receives the claim (properly certified if required), or (2) the date payment otherwise would be due, if that date is later, until the date of payment. Simple interest on claims shall be paid at the rate, fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury as provided in the Act, which is applicable to the period during which the Contracting Officer receives the claim and then at the rate applicable for each 6-month period as fixed by the Treasury Secretary during the pendency of the claim.
