B15.01 SUPPLIES AND ESTIMATED QUANTITIES TO BE FURNISHED (DOMESTIC INTO-PLANE)

(DESC AUG 2004)

(a) (1) The contract quantities shown below are best estimates only of the Government's requirements for the contract period. With respect to the products and/or services awarded at each individual airport location, the Contractor is obligated to deliver into-plane the supplies and perform the services required at such location, and the Government is obligated to order, accept, and pay for such supplies and/or services required at such location even though the quantities actually required during the contract period may be greater or less than the estimated quantities, except as provided for in the DELIVERY-ORDER LIMITATIONS clause.

(2) The estimated quantities shown in the Schedule do not include quantities that may be required by the Government for military exercises that are conducted at the specific airport location. The Government reserves the right to support military/federal exercises by using Government-furnished fuel, equipment, and personnel.

(3) In addition, if a Government facility is located at the airport, the Government shall only order from the Contractor the Government's fuel requirements that are in excess of its in-house capabilities. In such instances, the estimated quantities specified in the Schedule are estimates of requirements in excess of the quantities that the Government may itself furnish within its own capabilities.

(b) REQUIREMENTS. This is a requirements contract for the supplies or services specified and effective for the period stated in the ORDERING (INTO-PLANE) clause.

(1) The quantities of supplies or services specified in the Schedule are best estimates only and are not purchased by this contract.

(2) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in accordance with the ordering provisions herein.

Subject to any limitations in the order limitations provisions herein or elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government all supplies or services specified in the Schedule and called for by orders issued in accordance with the ordering provisions. The Government may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations. Except as this contract otherwise provides, the Government shall order from the Contractor all the supplies or services specified in the Schedule that are required to be purchased by the Government activity or activities specified in the Schedule. The Government is not required to purchase from the Contractor requirements in excess of any limit on total orders under this contract. However, the total quantity ordered and required to be delivered by the specified method of delivery during the ordering period may be greater than or less than these total estimated quantities.

(3) If the Government urgently requires delivery of any quantity of an item before the earliest date that delivery may be specified under this contract, and if the Contractor will not accept an order providing for the accelerated delivery, the Government may acquire the urgently required goods or services from another source.

(4) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order. The contract shall govern the Contractor's and Government's rights and obligations with respect to that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the contract's effective period; PROVIDED that the Contractor shall not be required to make any deliveries under this contract after the end of the stated delivery period.

(c) Unless otherwise specified in the Schedule or the Notes/Exceptions, the Contractor shall perform all fuel deliveries called for under the contract using its established facility for the airport (ICAO) specifically solicited. Offerors must have authorization from the appropriate airport authorities for access to the airport property where the refueling will be performed. Delivery shall encompass all delivery methods available at the airport (hydrant, truck, etc.). Exceptions to this must be stated prior to award.
