The Government will consider work incomplete when any one of the following conditions exists:

- The contractor did not perform any or all of the tasks successfully and timely.

If the performance of any required service is unsatisfactory, and poor performance is clearly the fault of the contractor, the Government may reduce the purchase order price to reflect the reduced value of defective services; if the Government gives the contractor a written Purchase Order Discrepancy Report prior to executing such payment deductions.

The CO will determine the payment deduction amount by calculating the percentage of acceptable services performed by the contractor.

The percentage found unacceptable subtracted from 100 percent will determine the percentage acceptable.
