a) The COR, and in the absence of the COR, the ACOR acts as the single point of contact within the FAA for all matters related to the technical and management aspects of the overall contract and Order. The COR and ACOR are responsible for the technical administration of the contract, technical liaison with the Contractor, final inspection and acceptance of all deliverables, and should be contacted regarding questions or problems of a technical nature.

b) If at any time during the performance of this contract or any Order, should administrative problems arise which will have an adverse impact on timely performance by the Contractor or affect the contract price, the Contractor must immediately notify the Contracting Officer to obtain official confirmation and refrain from acting on such advice or comments until confirmed by the Contracting Officer.

c) In no event, however, will any understanding or agreements, modification, change Order, or other matter deviating from the terms of this contract be effective or binding upon the Government unless formalized by proper contractual documents executed by the Contracting Officer prior to completion of this contract. All requests for interpretation or modification must be made in writing to the Contracting Officer.

d) Neither the COR nor ACOR is authorized to change the scope of work or specifications in the contract, make any commitments, or otherwise obligate the Government or authorize any changes that affect the contract price, terms and conditions of the contract, and delivery schedule, or contract period of performance.

e) Performance of the work under this contract must be subject to the technical direction of the COR or ACOR. The term “technical direction” is defined to include, without limitation, the following:

Upon receipt of the notification from the Contractor, the Contracting Officer will:

1. Advise the Contractor in writing, within five (5) calendar days after receipt of the

Contractor’s letter, that the technical direction is within the scope of the contract effort and does not constitute a change to the contract; or

2. Advise the Contractor, within a reasonable length of time, that the Government will issue a written change order.

h) A failure of the Contractor and Contracting Officer to agree that the technical direction is within the scope of the contract or a failure to agree upon the contract action to be taken with respect thereto must be subject to the provisions of AMS 3.9.1-1, Contract Disputes.
