Section G, Payment Table, Table

52.232-16, Progress Payments

For Progress Payments, why is 52.232-5, Payments Under Fixed-Price Construction Contracts included? Will other requirements that are unique to Construction Contracts also be included?

FAR clause 52.232-5 is not applicable to this requirement. The purpose of the Section G Payment Table is to specify the Type of Payment Method if financing clauses were included in an RFP/contract.

Contract financing (i.e. Progress Payments) is not applicable to N00421-24-R-0030.

G Table 52.232-16, Progress Payments

"The contractor shall produce and deliver ready for issue" and "The Contractor shall develop, maintain, and deliver a production schedule (CDRL A001) which identifies production and/or procurement lead times."

Can the Offeror propose tiered pricing based on order quantity, or does the government require a single price independent of quantity between 2 and 25?

At this time, the Government is not allowing for tiered pricing.
