Standard Form 252 - Architect-Engineer Contract.pdf

This is Standard Form 252 (REV. 10/2023), an Architect-Engineer Contract form prescribed by the General Services Administration under 48 CFR 53.236-2(a). The form serves as a template for federal government contracts with architect-engineer firms or other professional services contractors.

The form is designed to capture essential contract information including: the contract number, date of contract, architect-engineer firm name and contact details (telephone and address with ZIP code), the contracting department or agency name and address, project title and location, general description of services to be provided, and contract amount expressed in both words and figures. Section 8 requires administrative, appropriation, and accounting data to be recorded. The form establishes that the United States Government, represented by the Contracting Officer, enters into an agreement with the Architect-Engineer to perform work in strict accordance with specified clauses and documents that are incorporated as part of the contract. The document includes signature blocks for the Architect-Engineer or other professional services contractor (with provisions for multiple entities to be jointly and severally liable) and the Government's Contracting Officer, with the contract date recorded in Item 2. This is a standard federal contracting template with no specific project, services, pricing, or response date information populated.
