Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Notices 38407 

requirements as stated in the following 

clauses: 

a. 52.243–4, Changes. For acquisitions 

for dismantling, demolition, or removal 

of improvements; and fixed-price 

construction contracts that exceed the 

simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), 

the contractor must assert its right to an 

adjustment under this clause within 30 

days after receipt of a written change 

order or the furnishing of a written 

notice, by submitting to the contracting 

officer a written statement describing 

the general nature and amount of 

proposal, unless this period is extended 

by the Government. The written notice 

covers any other written or oral order 

(which includes direction, instruction, 

interpretation, or determination) from 

the contracting officer that causes a 

change. The contractor gives the 

contracting officer written notice stating 

(1) the date, circumstances, and source 

of the order and (2) that the contractor 

regards the order as a change order. The 

statement of proposal for adjustment 

may be included in the written notice. 

b. 52.243–6, Change Order 

Accounting. The contracting officer may 

require change order accounting 

whenever the estimated cost of a change 

or series of related changes exceeds 

$100,000. The contractor, for each 

change or series of related changes, shall 

maintain separate accounts, by job order 

or other suitable accounting procedure, 

of all incurred segregable, direct costs 

(less allocable credits) of work, both 

changed and not changed, allocable to 

the change. The contractor shall 

maintain these accounts until the 

parties agree to an equitable adjustment 

or the matter is conclusively disposed of 

under the Disputes clause. This 

requirement is necessary in order to be 

able to account properly for costs 

associated with changes in supply and 

research and development (R&D) 

contracts of significant technical 

complexity, if numerous changes are 

anticipated, or construction contracts if 

deemed appropriate by the contracting 

officer. 

c. 52.243–7, Notification of Changes. 

The clause is available for use primarily 

in negotiated R&D or supply contracts 

for the acquisition of major weapon 

systems or principal subsystems. If the 

contract amount is expected to be less 

than $1,000,000, the clause shall not be 

used, unless the contracting officer 

anticipates that situations will arise that 

may result in a contractor alleging that 

the Government has effected changes 

other than those identified as such in 

writing and signed by the contracting 

officer. The contractor shall notify the 

Administrative Contracting Officer in 

writing if the contractor identifies any 

Government conduct (including actions, 

inactions, and written or oral 

communications) that the contractor 

regards as a change to the contract terms 

and conditions. This excludes changes 

identified as such in writing and signed 

by the contracting officer. On the basis 

of the most accurate information 

available to the contractor, the notice 

shall state— 

(1) The date, nature, and 

circumstances of the conduct regarded 

as a change; 

(2) The name, function, and activity of 

each Government individual and 

Contractor official or employee involved 

in or knowledgeable about such 

conduct; 

(3) The identification of any 

documents and the substance of any 

oral communication involved in such 

conduct; 

(4) In the instance of alleged 

acceleration of scheduled performance 

or delivery, the basis upon which it 

arose; 

(5) The particular elements of contract 

performance for which the Contractor 

may seek an equitable adjustment under 

this clause, including— 

(i) What line items have been or may 

be affected by the alleged change; 

(ii) What labor or materials or both 

have been or may be added, deleted, or 

wasted by the alleged change; 

(iii) To the extent practicable, what 

delay and disruption in the manner and 

sequence of performance and effect on 

continued performance have been or 

may be caused by the alleged change; 

(iv) What adjustments to contract 

price, delivery schedule, and other 

provisions affected by the alleged 

change are estimated; and 

(6) The Contractor’s estimate of the 

time by which the Government must 

respond to the Contractor’s notice to 

minimize cost, delay or disruption of 

performance. 

Contracting officers use the notices 

and information provided by contractors 

in response to a change notice to 

negotiate an equitable adjustment under 

the contract that may result from the 

change order.
