FAR 52.242-15 STOP-WORK ORDER (AUG 1989)

(a) The Contracting Officer may, at any time, by written order to the Contractor, require the Contractor to stop all, or any part, of the work called for by this contract for a period of 90 days after the order is delivered to the Contractor, and for any further period to which the parties may agree. The order shall be specifically identified as a stop-work order issued under this clause.

Upon receipt of the order, the Contractor shall immediately comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs allocable to the work covered by the order during the period of work stoppage. Within a period of 90 days after a stop-work is delivered to the Contractor, or within any extension of that period to which the parties shall have agreed, the Contracting Officer shall either-

(1) Cancel the stop-work order; or

(2) Terminate the work covered by the order as provided in the Default, or the Termination for Convenience of the Government, clause of this contract.

(b) If a stop-work order issued under this clause is canceled or the period of the order or any extension thereof expires, the Contractor shall resume work. The Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the delivery schedule or contract price, or both, and the contract shall be modified, in writing, accordingly, if-

(1) The stop-work order results in an increase in the time required for, or in the Contractor’s cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this contract; and

(2) The Contractor asserts its right to the adjustment within 30 days after the end of the period of work stoppage; provided, that, if the Contracting Officer decides the facts justify the action, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon the claim submitted at any time before final payment under this contract.

(c) If a stop-work order is not canceled and the work covered by the order is terminated for the convenience of the Government, the Contracting Officer shall allow reasonable costs resulting from the stop-work order in arriving at the termination settlement.

(d) If a stop-work order is not canceled and the work covered by the order is terminated for default, the Contracting Officer shall allow, by equitable adjustment or otherwise, reasonable costs resulting from the stop-work order.

(End of clause)

F-0001-F1.11 DLA INTERNET BID BOARD SYSTEM (DIBBS) (DLA ENERGY APR 2014)

(a) Contractor Registration. Contractors must register in DIBBS to obtain a login account at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil. The login account will allow a contractor to register a primary and alternate email address for notifications. Contractors are strongly encouraged to establish a group email address for the primary email address for the contractor’s authorized point of contacts. The registered email addresses will be the only email used by the government to make notifications.

(b) All contractors must have an active System for Award Management (SAM) account, http://www.sam.gov in order to register for DIBBS.

(c) The Contractor shall use DIBBS to receive orders. DLA Energy will not be using DIBBS receipt of quotes capability. All quotations, proposals, bids shall be submitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the solicitation.

(d) Preparation and Transmission of Orders

(1) The Government may issue an order for a specific delivery or a series of deliveries (e.g., several deliveries during a week). The Government may also elect to issue an order covering a longer period (including monthly orders) and make periodic calls against these orders designating specific delivery dates, times, and quantities.

(2) Only a DLA Energy warranted Contracting Officer can issue an order, either orally or in writing, against a contract. An oral order issued by the warranted Contracting Officer shall provide the required advance notice to the Contractor and the following information: Interim order number; contract number; item number; ceiling price;

quantity; delivery location; and the required delivery and/ or service date.

(i) For all product orders, the Contractor will receive an electronically signed written order via DIBBS, within 24 hours or one business day after the warranted Contracting Officer issues an oral order.

(ii) For all service orders, the Contractor will receive an electronically signed written order via DIBBS, within five business days after issuing the oral order.

(iii) Interim order number is subject to change once the electronically signed written order is received by the contractor. The order number on the written order will take precedence over the interim order number, if different.

(iv) Regardless of the unit price cited on the written order, the office designated to make payments on the written order will pay the applicable unit price in effect under the terms and conditions of the contract.

(v) Once the order has been issued, an email will be sent to the Contractor to provide notice that the order is available on the contract-specific web page. The order will also be submitted to the payment office.

(3) Calls against previously issued orders must be confirmed in writing within 24 hours or one business day via email message. The email confirmation will reference the previously issued order number and item number and designate specific delivery location, dates, and quantity to be delivered against that order.

(4) The Contractor’s no receipt of a written or electronic confirmation of an oral order or oral call against a written or electronic order does not relieve the Contractor from its obligation to perform in accordance with the oral order or oral call against a written or electronic order. The Contractor should contact the DLA Energy Contracting Officer if problems are experienced with receipt of the electronic or written confirmation.

F-0002-F69 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE (DLA ENERGY APR 1968)

The services shall be performed at the laboratory or laboratories set forth in the Schedule. Any change in the location at which the service will be performed must be approved by the Contracting Officer.
