STANDARD PROVISION - 05 - OVERTIME AND EXPEDITING CHARGES - INQUIRY - AUG 2013

Because of critical service date for this service and less than normal lead-time, U.S. Government will consider

Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) overtime and expediting charges for providing complete service by required service date. Accordingly, Contractors/TPs requiring overtime and expediting charges to meet required service date shall identify such one-time overtime and expediting charges in their quote. These overtime and expediting charges must be separately itemized as non-recurring charges (NRCs), and will be included in U.S. government’s evaluation. Payment of overtime and expediting charges will only be authorized in the event Contractor/TP provides complete service by contracted service date.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: “UNDERSTAND,” and provide separately itemized overtime and expediting NRC in Quote.
