Every monthly invoice submitted under CLIN 0001 through 0005 and Option CLINS 1001 through 1005 shall follow the contractor's standard Firm- Fixed-Price invoice structure. Invoices submitted under CLIN 0006 and Option CLIN 1006 shall be accompanied by supporting documentation for any costs directly incurred and advanced by the contractor on USNA's behalf.

Any unspent funds block at the end of the contract period shall remain entirely with the Government and shall not be pocketed by the contractor as windfall profit.

Any unspent funds within the allocated CLIN 0006 and Option CLIN 1006 block at the end of the contract period shall be reconciled through the standard contract closeout process in accordance with applicable FAR provisions. The contractor shall not retain unspent CLIN 0006 and 1006 funds beyond what is required to satisfy approved, documented obligations incurred during the period of performance. For the avoidance of doubt, Firm- Fixed-Price amounts under CLIN 0006 and Option CLIN 1006 are not subject to end-of-year reconciliation or refund obligations. Any funding mechanisms outside the primary contract vehicle, including Non-Appropriated funds or program-specific funding paths, shall be identified and agreed upon in writing by both parties prior to execution and governed by a separate funding agreement that defines applicable audit and deduplication controls
