Awardee recommendations for any modifications to this Agreement, including justifications to support any changes to the Statement of Work, and/or the payable milestones, shall be submitted by the Awardee in writing to the Agreements Officer with a copy to the Government Program Manager. The Awardee's recommendation shall detail the technical, chronological, and financial impact of the proposed modification to the program. The Government Program Manager will be responsible for the review and verification of any recommendations to revise or otherwise modify this Agreement.
