SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Variation in Estimated Quantity

a. Contract line item numbers (CLINS) 0001, 0002, and 0003 (as well as corresponding CLINS for option years) and their subline items (SLINs) where appropriate, contain quantities that are estimated and that are priced with firm, fixed unit prices (FFUP). These unit prices contain all costs and profit necessary to carry out the delivery/performance of the unit identified per CLIN, the statement of work (SOW), or performance work statement (PWS).

b. During each 12-month period of performance, the contractor shall be paid the established unit price of each CLIN/SLIN multiplied by the quantity actually delivered/performed no more often than monthly in accordance with the appropriate payment clause(s) elsewhere in the contract. The monthly request for payment shall also include other similarly structured CLINS/SLINS calculated likewise, based on actual quantities delivered/performed for that same period invoiced.

c. These estimated quantities are the maximum amount the contractor may deliver/perform unless additional funding is obtained and the contract modified accordingly. Additionally, the contractor is only entitled to payment of actual quantities delivered and accepted. The actual final annual quantities performed/delivered may be less than those shown in Section B - Supplies or Services and Prices. In such case, the contractor is only entitled to payment for actual quantities performed/delivered and not the quantities listed in Section B.

d. At the end of the period of performance for each year, the government may issue a modification reducing any remaining funds on CLINS/SLINs where the actual work and payment is less than the estimated quantities originally funded.

e. The contractor shall not be entitled to any revision to unit prices should the government not attain the quantities listed in Section B.
