action.

complaint.

\(c\) If the COR determines the complaint is invalid, the COR will
advise the complainant. The COR will retain the annotated copy of the
written complaint for his/her files.

the Contractor and give the Contractor additional time to correct the
defect, if additional time is available. The COR shall determine how
much time is reasonable.

\(e\) The COR shall, as a minimum, orally notify the Contractor of any
valid complaints.

of the site and challenges the validity of the complaint, the Contractor
will notify the COR. The COR will review the matter to determine the
validity of the complaint.

\(g\) The COR will consider complaints as resolved unless notified
otherwise by the complainant.

\(h\) Repeat customer complaints are not permitted for any services. If

friendly to the United States and which is not itself the object of any

support the Arab League Boycott of Israel, are prohibited activities
under the Export Administration Act:

    specific goods which, in the normal course of business, are
    identifiable by source when imported into the boycotting country;

(4) Complying or agreeing to comply with the export requirements of the
    boycotting country relating to shipments or transshipments of
