4. Per the contract clause stating that a contractor wouldn’t be required to fulfill a delivery order of

$500.00 or less, does that mean a delivery order as small as $501.00 would have to be fulfilled?

When the Government requires supplies or services covered by this contract in an amount of less than $500.00, the Government is not obligated to purchase, nor is the Contractor obligated to furnish, those supplies or services under the contract.
