NAIHS-ACQ-09 UNAUTHORIZED COMMITMENTS NOV 2025

(a) Definitions.

Contracting Officer means a person with the authority to enter into, administer, and/or terminate contracts and make related determination and findings.

Ratification means the act of approving an unauthorized commitment by an official who has the authority to do so.

Unauthorized Commitment (UAC) means an agreement that is not binding solely because the Government representative who made it lacked the authority to enter into that agreement on behalf of the Government.

(b) Policy.

The Government is not bound by agreements with, or contractual commitments made to, prospective contractors by individuals who do not have delegated contracting authority. Unauthorized commitments do not follow the appropriate process for the expenditure of Government funds. Consequently, the Government may not be able to ratify certain actions, putting a contractor at risk for taking direction from a Federal official other than the contracting officer (see FAR 1.403-2). Government employees responsible for unauthorized commitments are subject to disciplinary action. Contractors perform at their own risk when accepting direction from unauthorized officials. Failure to follow statutory and regulatory processes for the expenditure of Government funds is a very serious matter.

(c) Procedure.

Any agreement, modification, or change to a contractual agreement made by a government personnel who lack authority will be deemed an unauthorized commitment. The Government is not liable to the Contractor or under the terms of the contract, financially or otherwise – unless the unauthorized commitment successfully passes the ratification process.

The ratification process does not have any lead time, nor does the Government make any promise that an unauthorized commitment will be ratified and, therefore, the Contractor would be paid. The Contractor proceeds at its own risk if any of the terms of the contract are altered, changed, or modified without the written concurrence by a Contracting Officer.

(End of Clause)
