Furthermore, the Government has the right to unilaterally increase the quantity of these CLINs multiple times after it has been initially exercised as long as it occurs before the close of option exercise window stated under FAR 52.217-7. The quantity can be increased by any increment as long as the total quantity does not exceed the maximum quantity stated in the stepladder pricing for that CLIN. If this increase occurs within a 90 day period of other quantities exercised under the CLIN, then pricing for all hardware under that CLIN procured within this 90 day period shall be adjusted to the unit price from the stepladder pricing appropriate for the total quantity being procured. For quantity increases not occurring within a 90-day period of when other quantities are exercised under the CLIN, the Government shall use unit pricing from the stepladder pricing applicable to the quantity of hardware being added and the pricing of previous quantities under said CLIN shall not change.

The Government will fluctuate the production procurement quantity from year to year based upon Government needs in accordance with the established price for the quantity procured on Attachment 7.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

B-215-H002 REFUNDS (SPARES AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT) (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018)

(a) In the event that the price of a spare part or item of support equipment delivered under this contract significantly exceeds its intrinsic value, the Contractor agrees to refund the difference. Refunds will not be made to recoup the amount of cost decreases that occur over time due to productivity gains (excluding economic purchase quantity considerations) or changes in market conditions.

(b) For purposes of this requirement, the intrinsic value of an item is defined as follows:

(1) If the item is one which is sold or is substantially similar or functionally equivalent to one that is sold in substantial quantities to the general public, intrinsic value is the established catalog or market price, plus the value of any unique requirements, including delivery terms, inspection, packaging, or labeling.

(2) If there is no comparable item sold in substantial quantities to the general public, intrinsic value is defined as the price an individual would expect to pay for the item based upon an economic purchase quantity as defined in FAR 52.207-4, plus the value of any unique requirements, including delivery terms, inspection, packaging or labeling.

(c) At any time up to two years after delivery of a spare part or item of support equipment, the Contracting Officer may notify the Contractor that based on all information available at the time of the notice, the price of the part or item apparently exceeds its intrinsic value.

(d) If notified in accordance with paragraph (c) above, the Contractor agrees to enter into good faith negotiations with the Government to determine if, and in what amount, the Government is entitled to a refund.

(e) If agreement pursuant to paragraph (d) above cannot be reached, and the Navy's return of the new or unused item to the Contractor is practical, the Navy, subject to the Contractor's agreement, may elect to return the item to the Contractor.

Upon return of the item to its original point of Government acceptance, the Contractor shall refund in full the price paid.

If no agreement pursuant to paragraph (d) above is reached, and return of the item by the Navy is impractical, the Contracting Officer may, with the approval of the Head of the Contracting Activity, issue a Contracting Officer's final decision on the matter, subject to Contractor appeal as provided in the "Disputes" clause (FAR 52.233-1).

(f) The Contractor shall make refunds, as required under this requirement, in accordance with instructions from the Contracting Officer.

(g) The Contractor shall not be liable for a refund if the Contractor advised the Contracting Officer in a timely manner that the price it would propose for a spare part or item of support equipment exceeded its intrinsic value, and with such advice, specified the estimated proposed price, the estimated intrinsic value and known alternative sources or item, if any, that can meet the requirement.

(h) This requirement does not apply to any spare parts or items of support equipment whose price is determined through adequate price competition. This requirement also does not apply to any spare part or item of support equipment if the Contractor submitted, and certified the currency, accuracy and completeness of, cost or pricing data applicable to the item.

(NAVSEA) (OCT 2018)

(a) For the purpose of paragraph (c) of the "Progress Payments" clause of this contract, if included, the requirement that the Contractor develop and deliver Provisioning Technical Documentation (PTD) is considered to be a "material requirement of this contract," and Contractor failure to make adequate progress in the development of PTD, or to deliver acceptable PTD on a timely basis, may result in reduction or suspension of Progress Payments as provided in said paragraph.

(b) The PTD is considered to be a part of the "Technical Data" specified to be delivered under this contract for the purposes of the "Technical Data--Withholding of Payment" (DFARS 252.227-7030) clause. The terms and conditions of the clause entitled "Limitation On Withholding of Payments (FAR 52.232-9), if included in this contract, shall not apply to withholding of payment for failure to make timely delivery of the PTD or delivery of deficient PTD.

B-231-H001 TRAVEL COSTS (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018)

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Contractor shall be reimbursed for its actual travel costs in accordance with FAR 31.205-46.

(b) Reimbursable travel costs include only that travel performed from the Contractor's facility to the worksite, in and around the worksite, and from the worksite to the Contractor's facility.

(c) Relocation costs and travel costs incidental to relocation are allowable to the extent provided in FAR 31.205-35;
