52.0000-4002 SHIPPING/DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION (FEB 2004)
1. THE COMPLETE 13-DIGIT PURCHASE ORDER, DELIVERY ORDER, OR CONTRACT NUMBER (The
Number that starts with W52P1J----) MUST BE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SHIPPING CONTAINER. This
number must also appear on all packing slips, invoices, bills, or any communications regarding this order.
2. A Packing List must be included with each shipment.
3. Any excess quantity delivered, that is not covered by a Variation in Quantity clause, is subject to rejection.
4. SHIPMENT OR DELIVERY TO ANY ADDRESS OTHER THAN THE "SHIP TO" ADDRESS
DESIGNATED IN THE PURCHASE ORDER/DELIVERY ORDER/CONTRACT (Block 14 of the DD1155,
Block 15 of the SF1449, or Block 11 of the SF 26) MAY RESULT IN A DELAY IN PAYMENT.
5. ANY CHANGE IN THE "SHIP TO" ADDRESS MUST BE APPROVED BY A WRITTEN CONTRACT
MODIFICATION FROM THE CONTRACTING OFFICER.
6. Information from FAR clause 52.232-25, Prompt Payment (FEB 2002), Paragraph (a)(5)(i): For the sole purpose
of computing an interest penalty that might be due the Contractor, Government acceptance is deemed to occur
constructively on the 7th day (unless otherwise specified in this contract) after the Contractor delivers the supplies
or performs the services in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract, unless there is a disagreement
over quantity, quality, or Contractor compliance with a contract provision. If actual acceptance occurs within the
constructive acceptance period, the Government will base the determination of an interest penalty on the actual date
of acceptance. The constructive acceptance requirement does not, however, compel Government officials to accept
supplies or services, perform contract administration functions, or make payment prior to fulfilling their
responsibilities.
52.0000-4003 DISCLOSURE OF UNIT PRICE INFORMATION (JUN 2005)
This constitutes notification pursuant to Executive Order 12600, Pre-Disclosure Notification Procedures for

response to any request under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 USC 552. Unit price is defined as the contract
price per unit or item purchased. We consider any objection to be waived unless the Contracting Officer is notified
of your objection to such release prior to submission of initial proposals.
52.0000-4834 AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM (MAR 2004)
If you have complaints about this procurement, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve those concerns with
the responsible Contracting Officer. However, you can also protest to Headquarters, AMC. The HQ, AMC-Level
Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an
Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the General Accounting Office or other
external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the
same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working
days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. Send protests
(other than protests to the Contracting Officer) to:
HQ, Army Materiel Command
Office of Command Counsel
9301 Chapek Rd Room 2-1SE3401
Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-5527
Facsimile Number (703 ) 806-8866 or 8875
Voice Number (703) 806-8762
The AMC-level protest procedures are found at: http://www.amc.army.mil/amc/command_counsel/protestlink.htm
