The Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Gov-ernment inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.
(c) Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not--
(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;
(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;
(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or
(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this- section.
(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the in-spector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.
(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for per-forming such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a man-ner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.
(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Con-tractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.
(g) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may--
(1) By contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor; or
(2) Terminate for default the Contractor's right to proceed.
(h) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the ex-penses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Con-tracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, includ-ing, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.
(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Accept-ance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.

AOC52.216-6 Undefinitized Contract Actions (Mar 2005)
(a) In the event of an urgent situation, the services or supplies may be required on an emergency basis under an undefinitized contract action (emergency task/delivery order, contract modification, or letter contract). The contract action may be either verbal, typed, or hand written, with the form of the undefinitized contract action dictated by the access the issuing Contracting Officer has to the AOC network or a computer. If issued verbally, the Contracting Officer shall provide a written confirming document to the location identi-fied by the contractor within 5 calendar days after issuance of the verbal undefinitized contract action. If an undefinitized contract ac-tion is issued under an existing contract, the terms and conditions of the contract shall be in effect and incorporated by reference under any undefinitized contract issued.
(b) The scope of work as originally issued on the undefinitized contract action will, of necessity, be somewhat broad and general in nature. It is to also be considered as a Notice to Proceed immediately with the work under the undefinitized contract action. An es-timated amount for the work to be performed shall be obligated to ensure that reasonable funds are available for payment to the con-tractor, and an estimated completion date shall be identified on the undefinitized contract action. If the contractor believes the amount of funds obligated or time for completion as stated in the undefinitized contract action are unreasonable, within 30 calendar days after issuance of the written undefinitized contract action the contractor is responsible for notifying the Contracting Officer of this and providing a suggested amount of funds for obligation or time for completion. In no instance shall the contractor's suggested amount of funds for obligation or time for completion be considered as binding to the contractor or the Government in future negotiations. The Government can elect to use the contractor's suggested amount of funds or time for completion as an indication that some additional funds or time for completion may be required and obligated or adjusted, respectively, in order to ensure that reasonably adequate funds are available to pay the contractor for services performed or that the completion time is reasonable.
(c) Within a reasonable amount of time after the issuance of the undefinitized contract action but not later than an estimated 25% of the way through the completion of the work under the undefinitized contract action, an authorized representative of the contractor must meet, either in person or telephonically, with the Contracting Officer to further define the scope of work, negotiate the price, identify a final completion date, and address other activities necessary to definitize the undefinitzed contract action. This estimated 25% shall use the best information reasonably available and be based upon (1) an estimate of the amount of work completed relative to the original general scope of work or (2) the amount of payments made relative to the original amount obligated.
(d) Payments can be made from the original amount obligated, but the undefinitized contract action must be definitized before pay-ments exceed 40% of the funds originally obligated.
(e) If communications are distrupted to the degree that it is necessary to communicate with the Contracting Officer at their residence or through other devices that do not utilize AOC-owned equipment, i.e., the Contracting Officer's residential telephone line, home ad-dress, etc., the contractor shall treat the Contracting Officer's personal information as confidential and shall not divulge the informa-tion to any individual or organization, including but not limited to other AOC personnel, without the Contracting Officer's express written permission. If it becomes necessary for the Contracting Officer to communicate with the contractor through means other than the contractor's normal place of business, i.e., the contractor's residential telephone line or home address, the Contracting Officer shall not divulge the information to any individual or organization, including but not limited to other AOC or contractor personnel, without the contractor's express written permission.
(f) For the purposes of this clause, e-mail is considered express written permission.

“Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number” means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional System for Award Management records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts for the same business concern and is not a substitute for a properly executed assignment of claims in accordance with the terms of the contract which shows the ultimate recipient of the transfer to be other than the contractor.
“Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database” means that the offeror has entered all mandatory information, in-cluding the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number into the SAM database;
(b) (1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agree-ment, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation. If the contract action is being awarded pursuant to an unusual and compelling urgency, the contractor must be registered in the SAM within 30 days after award, or at least three days prior to sub-mitting the first invoice, whichever occurs first.
(2) The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation “DUNS” or “DUNS +4” followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror’s name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the SAM database.
(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.
(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number—
(i) Via the Internet or call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or
(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office. The offeror should indicate that it is an of-feror for a U.S. Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.
(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:
(i) Company legal business.
(ii) Trade style, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.
(iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code.

(viii) Chief executive officer/key manager.
(ix) Line of business (industry).

(e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.
(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis, from the date of initial registration or subsequent up-dates, its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.
(1) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, doing business as name, or division name (whichever is shown on the con-tract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding nova-tion and change-of-name agreements, the Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to:
(i) Change the name in the SAM database;
(ii) Comply with contract requirements for Novation and Change-of-Name Agreements; and
(iii) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall provide with the noti-fication sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.
(2) If the contractor fails to comply and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM in-formation that shows the contractor to be other than the contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect informa-tion. Any invoice submitted in accordance with the payment clauses of this contract which contain incorrect information will not be processed.
(3) The contractor shall not change the name or address for electronic funds transfer payments (EFT) or manual payments, as appro-priate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims.
(4) Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the contractor’s SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that contractor will be considered to be incorrect informa-tion. Any invoice submitted in accordance with the payment clauses of this contract which contain incorrect information will not be processed.
(5) The Contractor shall ensure that the DUNS number is maintained with Dun & Bradstreet throughout the life of the contract. The Contractor shall communicate any change to the DUNS number to the Contracting Officer within 30 days after the change, so an ap-propriate modification can be issued to update the data on the contract. A change in the DUNS number does not necessarily require a novation be accomplished
