The period of such suspension, delay or interruption shall be considered unreasonable, and an adjustment shall be made for any increase in the cost of performance of this contract (excluding profit) as provided in that clause, subject to all the provisions thereof.

12.5. The term "environmental litigation", as used herein, means a lawsuit alleging that the work will have an adverse effect on the environment or that the Government has not duly considered, either substantively or procedurally, the effect of the work on the environment.

The contractor is responsible to ensure all contractor personnel are knowledgeable and cognizant of the Contracting Officer’s authority. Work performed by contractor personnel outside of the scope of each individual task order, without authorization of the Contracting Officer, shall be the responsibility of the contractor.

17. ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR TASK ORDERS:

17.1. The fair opportunity provisions within FAR 16.505(b) will apply to all task orders issued against this contract throughout the five-year ordering period, unless an exception exists in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2).

17.2. The labor categories and their respective ceiling prices proposed within this contract’s Pricing Matrix (Attachment 0001) will be made a material part of the awarded IDIQ MATOC and shall be used to propose labor rates at the task order level. Additional labor categories that are not listed in the Pricing Matrix (Attachment 0001) may be added at the task order level as long as the rates proposed for said labor categories are commensurate with the pricing methodology used by the contractor to establish the labor rates for the labor categories contained within this contract’s Pricing Matrix (Attachment 0001).

17.3. The Government will establish evaluation criterion, tailored to the individual requirement, for all task orders solicited against this contract.

17.4. Task Orders issued against this contract will be awarded on a bilateral basis.
