In the event the contractor effects any such change at the direction of any person other than the CO, the change will be considered made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract price to cover increase in costs incurred as a result thereof.

(c) Contractual problems, of any nature, which might occur during the life of the contract, must be handled in conformance with very specific public laws and regulations (e.g., Federal Acquisition Regulation), and must be referred to the CO for resolution.

(d) Any request for contract changes/modifications shall be submitted to the CO.

(e) The contractor and the Government may agree to perform a no-cost field change. Field changes are made when the change appears to be mutually beneficial to all parties and would not require changing the negotiated line items.
