(c) EVALUATION FACTORS.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—In prescribing the evaluation factors to be in-
cluded in each solicitation for competitive proposals, an executive agen-
cy shall—

product or services to be provided (including technical capability, 
management capability, prior experience, and past performance of 
the offeror); 
(B) include cost or price to the Federal Government as an eval-
uation factor that must be considered in the evaluation of pro-
posals; and 
(C) disclose to offerors whether all evaluation factors other than 
cost or price, when combined, are— 
(i) significantly more important than cost or price; 
(ii) approximately equal in importance to cost or price; or 
(iii) significantly less important than cost or price. 
(2) RESTRICTION
ON
IMPLEMENTING
REGULATIONS.—Regulations 
implementing paragraph (1)(C) may not define the terms ‘‘significantly 
more important’’ and ‘‘significantly less important’’ as specific numeric 
weights that would be applied uniformly to all solicitations or a class 
of solicitations.

prohibit an executive agency from— 
(1) providing additional information in a solicitation, including nu-
meric weights for all evaluation factors and subfactors on a case-by- 
case basis; or

agency, in issuing a solicitation for a contract to be awarded using sealed 
bid procedures, may not include in the solicitation a clause providing for the 
evaluation of prices for options to purchase additional property or services

employees to telecommute, unless the contracting officer concerned 
first determines that the requirements of the agency, including se-
curity requirements, cannot be met if telecommuting is allowed 
and documents in writing the basis for the determination; or 
(B) reduce the scoring of an offer on the basis of the inclusion 
in the offer of a plan of the offeror to allow the offeror’s employ-
ees to telecommute, unless the contracting officer concerned first 
determines that the requirements of the agency, including security 
requirements, would be adversely impacted if telecommuting is al-
lowed and documents in writing the basis for the determination.

§ 3307. Planning for future competition in contracts for 
major systems 
(a) DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT.— 
(1) DETERMINING WHETHER PROPOSALS ARE NECESSARY.—In pre-
paring a solicitation for the award of a development contract for a 
major system, the head of an agency shall consider requiring in the so-
licitation that an offeror include in its offer proposals described in 
paragraph (2). In determining whether to require the proposals, the 
head of the agency shall consider the purposes for which the system 
is being procured and the technology necessary to meet the system’s 
required capabilities. If the proposals are required, the head of the 
agency shall consider them in evaluating the offeror’s price. 
(2) CONTENTS OF PROPOSALS.—The proposals that the head of an 
agency is to consider requiring in a solicitation for the award of a de-
velopment contract are the following: 
(A) Proposals to incorporate in the design of the major system 
items that are currently available within the supply system of the 
Federal agency responsible for the major system, available else-
where in the national supply system, or commercially available 
from more than one source. 
(B) With respect to items that are likely to be required in sub-
stantial quantities during the system’s service life, proposals to in-
corporate in the design of the major system items that the Federal 
Government will be able to acquire competitively in the future. 
(b) PRODUCTION CONTRACT.— 
(1) DETERMINING WHETHER PROPOSALS ARE NECESSARY.—In pre-
paring a solicitation for the award of a production contract for a major

procured and the technology necessary to meet the system’s required 
capabilities. If the proposals are required, the head of the agency shall 
consider them in evaluating the offeror’s price. 
(2) CONTENT OF PROPOSALS.—The proposals that the head of an 
agency is to consider requiring in a solicitation for the award of a pro-
duction contract are proposals identifying opportunities to ensure that 
the Federal Government will be able to obtain on a competitive basis 
items procured in connection with the system that are likely to be re-
procured in substantial quantities during the service life of the system. 
Proposals submitted in response to this requirement may include the 
following: 
(A) Proposals to provide to the Federal Government the right 
to use technical data to be provided under the contract for com-
petitive reprocurement of the item, together with the cost to the 
Federal Government of acquiring the data and the right to use the 
data. 
(B) Proposals for the qualification or development of multiple 
sources of supply for the item. 
(c) CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS AS OBJECTIVES IN NEGOTIATIONS.— 
If the head of an agency is making a noncompetitive award of a develop-
ment contract or a production contract for a major system, the factors spec-
ified in subsections (a) and (b) to be considered in evaluating an offer for 
a contract may be considered as objectives in negotiating the contract to 
be awarded. 
§ 3308. Design-build selection procedures 
(a) AUTHORIZATION.—Unless the traditional acquisition approach of de-
sign-bid-build established under sections 1101 to 1104 of title 40 or another 
acquisition procedure authorized by law is used, the head of an executive 
agency shall use the two-phase selection procedures authorized in this sec-
tion for entering into a contract for the design and construction of a public 
building, facility, or work when a determination is made under subsection 
(b) that the procedures are appropriate for use. 
(b) CRITERIA FOR USE.—A contracting officer shall make a determina-
tion whether two-phase selection procedures are appropriate for use for en-
tering into a contract for the design and construction of a public building, 
facility, or work when— 
(1) the contracting officer anticipates that 3 or more offers will be 
received for the contract; 
(2) design work must be performed before an offeror can develop a 
price or cost proposal for the contract;

(3) the offeror will incur a substantial amount of expense in pre-
paring the offer; and 
(4) the contracting officer has considered information such as the 
following: 
(A) The extent to which the project requirements have been 
adequately defined.

(D) The suitability of the project for use of the two-phase selec-
tion procedures. 
(E) The capability of the agency to manage the two-phase selec-
tion process. 
(F) Other criteria established by the agency. 
(c) PROCEDURES DESCRIBED.—Two-phase selection procedures consist of 
the following: 
(1) DEVELOPMENT OF SCOPE OF WORK STATEMENT.—The agency 
develops, either in-house or by contract, a scope of work statement for 
inclusion in the solicitation that defines the project and provides pro-
spective offerors with sufficient information regarding the Federal Gov-
ernment’s requirements (which may include criteria and preliminary de-
sign, budget parameters, and schedule or delivery requirements) to en-
able the offerors to submit proposals that meet the Federal Govern-
ment’s needs. If the agency contracts for development of the scope of 
work statement, the agency shall contract for architectural and engi-
neering services as defined by and in accordance with sections 1101 to 
1104 of title 40. 
(2) SOLICITATION OF PHASE-ONE PROPOSALS.—The contracting offi-
cer solicits phase-one proposals that—

(i) technical approach; and 
(ii) technical qualifications; and 
(B) do not include— 
(i) detailed design information; or 
(ii) cost or price information. 
(3) EVALUATION FACTORS.—The evaluation factors to be used in 
evaluating phase-one proposals are stated in the solicitation and include 
specialized experience and technical competence, capability to perform, 
past performance of the offeror’s team (including the architect-engineer 
and construction members of the team), and other appropriate factors, 
except that cost-related or price-related evaluation factors are not per-
mitted. Each solicitation establishes the relative importance assigned to

the evaluation factors and subfactors that must be considered in the 
evaluation of phase-one proposals. The agency evaluates phase-one pro-
posals on the basis of the phase-one evaluation factors set forth in the 
solicitation. 
(4) SELECTION BY CONTRACTING OFFICER.— 
(A) NUMBER OF OFFERORS SELECTED AND WHAT IS TO BE 
EVALUATED.—The contracting officer selects as the most highly 
qualified the number of offerors specified in the solicitation to pro-
vide the property or services under the contract and requests the 
selected offerors to submit phase-two competitive proposals that 
include technical proposals and cost or price information. Each so-
licitation establishes with respect to phase two— 
(i) the technical submission for the proposal, including de-
sign concepts or proposed solutions to requirements addressed 
within the scope of work, or both; and 
(ii) the evaluation factors and subfactors, including cost or 
price, that must be considered in the evaluations of proposals 
in accordance with subsections (b) to (d) of section 3305 of 
this title. 
(B) SEPARATE
EVALUATIONS.—The contracting officer sepa-
rately evaluates the submissions described in clauses (i) and (ii) 
of subparagraph (A). 
(5) AWARDING OF CONTRACT.—The agency awards the contract in 
accordance with chapter 37 of this title.

FOR PHASE-TWO REQUESTS FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.—A solicitation 
issued pursuant to the procedures described in subsection (c) shall state the 
maximum number of offerors that are to be selected to submit competitive 
proposals pursuant to subsection (c)(4). The maximum number specified in 
the solicitation shall not exceed 5 unless the agency determines with respect 
to an individual solicitation that a specified number greater than 5 is in the 
Federal Government’s interest and is consistent with the purposes and ob-
jectives of the two-phase selection process. 
(e) REQUIREMENT FOR GUIDANCE AND REGULATIONS.—The Federal Ac-
quisition Regulation shall include guidance— 
(1) regarding the factors that may be considered in determining 
whether the two-phase contracting procedures authorized by subsection 
(a) are appropriate for use in individual contracting situations; 
(2) regarding the factors that may be used in selecting contractors; 
and 
(3) providing for a uniform approach to be used Government-wide.

§ 3309. Quantities to order 
(a) FACTORS AFFECTING QUANTITY TO ORDER.—Each executive agency 
shall procure supplies in a quantity that— 
(1) will result in the total cost and unit cost most advantageous to 
the Federal Government, where practicable; and 
(2) does not exceed the quantity reasonably expected to be required 
by the agency. 
(b) OFFEROR’S OPINION OF QUANTITY.—Each solicitation for a contract 
for supplies shall, if practicable, include a provision inviting each offeror re-
sponding to the solicitation to state an opinion on whether the quantity of 
supplies proposed to be procured is economically advantageous to the Fed-
eral Government and, if applicable, to recommend a quantity that would be 
more economically advantageous to the Federal Government. Each rec-
ommendation shall include a quotation of the total price and the unit price 
for supplies procured in each recommended quantity. 
§ 3310. Qualification requirement 
(a) DEFINITION.—In this section, the term ‘‘qualification requirement’’ 
means a requirement for testing or other quality assurance demonstration 
that must be completed by an offeror before award of a contract. 
(b) ACTIONS BEFORE ENFORCING QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT.—Ex-
cept as provided in subsection (c), the head of an agency, before enforcing 
any qualification requirement, shall— 
(1) prepare a written justification stating the necessity for estab-
lishing the qualification requirement and specify why the qualification 
requirement must be demonstrated before contract award; 
(2) specify in writing and make available to a potential offeror on 
request all requirements that a prospective offeror, or its product, must 
satisfy to become qualified, with those requirements to be limited to 
those least restrictive to meet the purposes necessitating the establish-
ment of the qualification requirement; 
(3) specify an estimate of the cost of testing and evaluation likely 
to be incurred by a potential offeror to become qualified; 
(4) ensure that a potential offeror is provided, on request, a prompt 
opportunity to demonstrate at its own expense (except as provided in 
subsection (d)) its ability to meet the standards specified for qualifica-
tion using— 
(A) qualified personnel and facilities— 
(i) of the agency concerned; 
(ii) of another agency obtained through interagency agree-
ment; or 
(iii) under contract; or

(B) other methods approved by the agency (including use of ap-
proved testing and evaluation services not provided under contract 
to the agency); 
(5) if testing and evaluation services are provided under contract to 
the agency for the purposes of paragraph (4), provide to the extent 
possible that those services be provided by a contractor that— 
(A) is not expected to benefit from an absence of additional 
qualified sources; and 
(B) is required in the contract to adhere to any restriction on 
technical data asserted by the potential offeror seeking qualifica-
tion; and 
(6) ensure that a potential offeror seeking qualification is promptly 
informed whether qualification is attained and, if not attained, is 
promptly furnished specific information about why qualification was 
not attained. 
(c) APPLICABILITY, WAIVER AUTHORITY, AND REFERRAL OF OFFERS.— 
(1) APPLICABILITY.—Subsection (b) does not apply to a qualification 
requirement established by statute prior to October 30, 1984. 
(2) WAIVER AUTHORITY.— 
(A) 
SUBMISSION
OF
DETERMINATION
OF 
UNREASONABLENESS.—Except as provided in subparagraph (C), if 
it is unreasonable to specify the standards for qualification that 
a prospective offeror or its product must satisfy, a determination 
to that effect shall be submitted to the advocate for competition 
of the procuring activity responsible for the purchase of the item 
subject to the qualification requirement. 
(B) AUTHORITY
TO
GRANT
WAIVER.—After considering any 
comments of the advocate for competition reviewing the deter-
mination, the head of the procuring activity may waive the re-
quirements of paragraphs (2) to (5) of subsection (b) for up to 
2 years with respect to the item subject to the qualification re-
quirement.

er authority under this paragraph does not apply with respect to 
a qualified products list. 
(3) SUBMISSION AND CONSIDERATION OF OFFER NOT TO BE DE-
NIED.—A potential offeror may not be denied the opportunity to sub-
mit and have considered an offer for a contract solely because the po-
tential offeror has not been identified as meeting a qualification re-
quirement if the potential offeror can demonstrate to the satisfaction 
of the contracting officer that the potential offeror or its product meets

the standards established for qualification or can meet those standards 
before the date specified for award of the contract. 
(4) REFERRAL
TO
SMALL
BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION
NOT
RE-
QUIRED.—This subsection does not require the referral of an offer to 
the Small Business Administration pursuant to section 8(b)(7) of the 
Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(b)(7)) if the basis for the referral 
is a challenge by the offeror to either the validity of the qualification 
requirement or the offeror’s compliance with that requirement. 
(5) DELAY OF PROCUREMENT NOT REQUIRED.—The head of an 
agency need not delay a proposed procurement to comply with sub-
section (b) or to provide a potential offeror with an opportunity to dem-
onstrate its ability to meet the standards specified for qualification. 
(d) FEWER THAN 2 ACTUAL MANUFACTURERS.— 
(1) SOLICITATION AND TESTING OF ADDITIONAL SOURCES OR PROD-
UCTS.—If the number of qualified sources or qualified products avail-
able to compete actively for an anticipated future requirement is fewer 
than 2 actual manufacturers or the products of 2 actual manufactur-
ers, respectively, the head of the agency concerned shall— 
(A) publish notice periodically soliciting additional sources or 
products to seek qualification, unless the contracting officer deter-
mines that doing so would compromise national security; and 
(B) subject to paragraph (2), bear the cost of conducting the 
specified testing and evaluation (excluding the cost associated with 
producing the item or establishing the production, quality control, 
or other system to be tested and evaluated) for a small business 
concern or a product manufactured by a small business concern 
that has met the standards specified for qualification and that 
could reasonably be expected to compete for a contract for that 
requirement. 
(2) WHEN AGENCY MAY BEAR COST.—The head of the agency con-
cerned may bear the cost under paragraph (1)(B) only if the head of 
the agency determines that the additional qualified sources or products 
are likely to result in cost savings from increased competition for future 
requirements sufficient to offset (within a reasonable period of time 
considering the duration and dollar value of anticipated future require-
ments) the cost incurred by the agency. 
(3) CERTIFICATION REQUIRED.—The head of the agency shall re-
quire a prospective contractor requesting the Federal Government to 
bear testing and evaluation costs under paragraph (1)(B) to certify its 
status as a small business concern under section 3 of the Small Busi-
ness Act (15 U.S.C. 632).

(e) EXAMINATION
AND REVALIDATION
OF QUALIFICATION REQUIRE-
MENT.—Within 7 years after the establishment of a qualification require-
ment, the need for the requirement shall be examined and the standards of 
the requirement revalidated in accordance with the requirements of sub-
section (b). This subsection does not apply in the case of a qualification re-
quirement for which a waiver is in effect under subsection (c)(2). 
(f) WHEN ENFORCEMENT OF QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT NOT AL-
LOWED.—Except in an emergency as determined by the head of the agency, 
after the head of the agency determines not to enforce a qualification re-
quirement for a solicitation, the agency may not enforce the requirement un-
less the agency complies with the requirements of subsection (b).

not waive the requirement under subsection (a)(3) of this section for sub-
mission of cost or pricing data in the case of subcontracts under that con-
tract or subcontract unless the head of the procuring activity granting the

(A) adequate price competition; or 
(B) prices set by law or regulation;

tion. 
(b) MODIFICATIONS OF CONTRACTS AND SUBCONTRACTS FOR COMMER-
CIAL ITEMS.—In the case of a modification of a contract or subcontract for

tion 3502 of this title if—

contract for which submission of certified cost or pricing data may not 
be required by reason of paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (a); and

tion 3502 of this title for a contract, subcontract, or modification of a con-

activity determines that the data are necessary for the evaluation by the 
agency of the reasonableness of the price of the contract, subcontract, or

of the procuring activity requires the data to be submitted under this sec-
tion, the head of the procuring activity shall justify in writing the reason 
for the requirement.

(b) EXCEPTION.—The head of the procuring activity may not require cer-
tified cost or pricing data to be submitted under this section for any con-
tract or subcontract, or modification of a contract or subcontract, covered 
by the exceptions in section 3503(a)(1) or (2) of this title. 
(c) DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY PROHIBITED.—The head of a procuring 
activity may not delegate the functions under this section. 
§ 3505. Submission of other information 
(a) AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE SUBMISSION.—When certified cost or pric-
ing data are not required to be submitted under this chapter for a contract, 
subcontract, or modification of a contract or subcontract, the contracting of-
ficer shall require submission of data other than certified cost or pricing 
data to the extent necessary to determine the reasonableness of the price 
of the contract, subcontract, or modification of the contract or subcontract. 
Except in the case of a contract or subcontract covered by the exceptions 
in section 3503(a)(1) of this title, the contracting officer shall require that 
the data submitted include, at a minimum, appropriate information on the 
prices at which the same item or similar items have previously been sold 
that is adequate for evaluating the reasonableness of the price for the pro-
curement. 
(b) LIMITATIONS ON AUTHORITY.—The Federal Acquisition Regulation 
shall include the following provisions regarding the types of information that 
contracting officers may require under subsection (a): 
(1) REASONABLE LIMITATIONS.—Reasonable limitations on requests 
for sales data relating to commercial items. 
(2) LIMITATION ON SCOPE OF REQUEST.—A requirement that a con-
tracting officer limit, to the maximum extent practicable, the scope of 
any request for information relating to commercial items from an offer-
or to only that information that is in the form regularly maintained 
by the offeror in commercial operations. 
(3) INFORMATION NOT TO BE DISCLOSED.—A statement that any in-
formation received relating to commercial items that is exempt from 
disclosure under section 552(b) of title 5 shall not be disclosed by the

this title is required shall contain a provision that the price of the con-
tract to the Federal Government, including profit or fee, shall be ad-
justed to exclude any significant amount by which it may be deter-
mined by the head of the executive agency that the price was increased

because the contractor (or any subcontractor required to make the cer-
tificate available) submitted defective cost or pricing data. 
(2) WHAT CONSTITUTES DEFECTIVE COST OR PRICING DATA.—For 
the purposes of this chapter, defective cost or pricing data are cost or 
pricing data that, as of the date of agreement on the price of the con-
tract (or another date agreed on between the parties), were inaccurate, 
incomplete, or noncurrent. If for purposes of the preceding sentence the 
parties agree on a date other than the date of agreement on the price 
of the contract, the date agreed on by the parties shall be as close to 
the date of agreement on the price of the contract as is practicable. 
(b) VALID DEFENSE.—In determining for purposes of a contract price 
adjustment under a contract provision required by subsection (a) whether, 
and to what extent, a contract price was increased because the contractor 
(or a subcontractor) submitted defective cost or pricing data, it is a defense 
that the Federal Government did not rely on the defective data submitted 
by the contractor or subcontractor. 
(c) INVALID DEFENSES.—It is not a defense to an adjustment of the 
price of a contract under a contract provision required by subsection (a) 
that— 
(1) the price of the contract would not have been modified even if 
accurate, complete, and current cost or pricing data had been sub-
mitted by the contractor or subcontractor because the contractor or 
subcontractor— 
(A) was the sole source of the property or services procured; or 
(B) otherwise was in a superior bargaining position with respect 
to the property or services procured; 
(2) the contracting officer should have known that the cost or pricing 
data in issue were defective even though the contractor or subcon-
tractor took no affirmative action to bring the character of the data 
to the attention of the contracting officer; 
(3) the contract was based on an agreement between the contractor 
and the Federal Government about the total cost of the contract and 
there was no agreement about the cost of each item procured under 
the contract; or 
(4) the prime contractor or subcontractor did not submit a certifi-
cation of cost or pricing data relating to the contract as required by 
section 3502(b) of this title. 
(d) OFFSETS.— 
(1) WHEN ALLOWED.—A contractor shall be allowed to offset an 
amount against the amount of a contract price adjustment under a 
contract provision required by subsection (a) if—

(A) the contractor certifies to the contracting officer (or to a 
designated representative of the contracting officer) that, to the 
best of the contractor’s knowledge and belief, the contractor is en-
titled to the offset; and 
(B) the contractor proves that the cost or pricing data were 
available before the date of agreement on the price of the contract 
(or price of the modification), or, if applicable, consistent with 
subsection (a)(2), another date agreed on by the parties, and that 
the data were not submitted as specified in section 3502(c) of this 
title before that date. 
(2) WHEN NOT ALLOWED.—A contractor shall not be allowed to off-
set an amount otherwise authorized to be offset under paragraph (1) 
if— 
(A) the certification under section 3502(b) of this title with re-
spect to the cost or pricing data involved was known to be false 
when signed; or 
(B) the Federal Government proves that, had the cost or pricing 
data referred to in paragraph (1)(B) been submitted to the Fed-
eral Government before date of agreement on the price of the con-
tract (or price of the modification), or, if applicable, under sub-
section (a)(2), another date agreed on by the parties, the submis-
sion of the cost or pricing data would not have resulted in an in-
crease in that price in the amount to be offset. 
§ 3507. Interest and penalties for certain overpayments 
(a) IN GENERAL.—If the Federal Government makes an overpayment to 
a contractor under a contract with an executive agency subject to this chap-
ter and the overpayment was due to the submission by the contractor of 
defective cost or pricing data, the contractor shall be liable to the Federal 
Government— 
(1) for interest on the amount of the overpayment, to be computed— 
(A) for the period beginning on the date the overpayment was 
made to the contractor and ending on the date the contractor re-
pays the amount of the overpayment to the Federal Government; 
and 
(B) at the current rate prescribed by the Secretary of the 
Treasury under section 6621 of the Internal Revenue Code of 
1986 (26 U.S.C. 6621); and 
(2) if the submission of the defective data was a knowing submission, 
for an additional amount equal to the amount of the overpayment. 
(b) LIABILITY NOT AFFECTED
BY REFUSAL TO SUBMIT CERTIFI-
CATION.—Any liability under this section of a contractor that submits cost

3502(b) of this title with respect to the cost or pricing data is not affected 
by the refusal to submit the certification. 
§ 3508. Right to examine contractor records 
For the purpose of evaluating the accuracy, completeness, and currency 
of cost or pricing data required to be submitted by this chapter, an execu-
tive agency shall have the authority provided by section 4706(b)(2) of this 
title.

(2) CONTRACT.—A task order contract entered into under this sec-
tion shall contain the same information that is required by paragraph 
(1) to be included in the solicitation of offers for that contract. 
(f) MULTIPLE AWARDS.— 
(1) AUTHORITY TO MAKE MULTIPLE AWARDS.—On the basis of one 
solicitation, the head of an executive agency may award separate task 
order contracts under this section for the same or similar services to 
2 or more sources if the solicitation states that the head of the execu-
tive agency has the option to do so. 
(2) CONTENT OF SOLICITATION.—In the case of a task order con-
tract for advisory and assistance services to be entered into under this 
section, if the contract period is to exceed 3 years and the contract 
amount is estimated to exceed $10,000,000 (including all options), the 
solicitation shall— 
(A) provide for a multiple award authorized under paragraph 
(1); and 
(B) include a statement that the head of the executive agency 
may also elect to award only one task order contract if the head 
of the executive agency determines in writing that only one of the 
offerors is capable of providing the services required at the level 
of quality required. 
(3) NONAPPLICATION.—Paragraph (2) does not apply in the case of 
a solicitation for which the head of the executive agency concerned de-
termines in writing that, because the services required under the con-
tract are unique or highly specialized, it is not practicable to award 
more than one contract. 
(g) CONTRACT MODIFICATIONS.— 
(1) INCREASE IN SCOPE, PERIOD, OR MAXIMUM VALUE OF CONTRACT 
ONLY BY MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT.—A task order may not in-
crease the scope, period, or maximum value of the task order contract 
under which the order is issued. The scope, period, or maximum value 
of the contract may be increased only by modification of the contract. 
(2) USE OF COMPETITIVE PROCEDURES.—Unless use of procedures 
other than competitive procedures is authorized by an exception in sec-
tion 3303(a) of this title and approved in accordance with section 
3303(d) of this title, competitive procedures shall be used for making 
such a modification. 
(3) NOTICE.—Notice regarding the modification shall be provided in 
accordance with section 1707 of this title and section 8(e) of the Small 
Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(e)).

(1) WHEN
CONTRACT
MAY
BE
EXTENDED.—Notwithstanding the 
limitation on the contract period set forth in subsection (c) or in a so-
licitation or contract pursuant to subsection (f), a contract entered into 
by the head of an executive agency under this section may be extended 
on a sole-source basis for a period not exceeding 6 months if the head 
of the executive agency determines that— 
(A) the award of a follow-on contract has been delayed by cir-
cumstances that were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the 
initial contract was entered into; and 
(B) the extension is necessary to ensure continuity of the receipt 
of services pending the award of, and commencement of perform-
ance under, the follow-on contract. 
(2) LIMIT OF ONE EXTENSION.—A task order contract may be ex-
tended under paragraph (1) only once and only in accordance with the 
limitations and requirements of this subsection. 
(i) INAPPLICABILITY TO CERTAIN CONTRACTS.—This section does not 
apply to a contract for the acquisition of property or services that includes 
acquisition of advisory and assistance services if the head of the executive 
agency entering into the contract determines that, under the contract, advi-
sory and assistance services are necessarily incident to, and not a significant 
component of, the contract. 
§ 4106. Orders 
(a) APPLICATION.—This section applies to task and delivery order con-
tracts entered into under sections 4103 and 4105 of this title. 
(b) ACTIONS NOT REQUIRED FOR ISSUANCE OF ORDERS.—The following 
actions are not required for issuance of a task or delivery order under a 
task or delivery order contract: 
(1) A separate notice for the order under section 1707 of this title 
or section 8(e) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(e)). 
(2) Except as provided in subsection (c), a competition (or a waiver 
of competition approved in accordance with section 3303(d) of this 
title) that is separate from that used for entering into the contract. 
(c) MULTIPLE AWARD CONTRACTS.—When multiple contracts are award-
ed under section 4103(d)(1)(B) or 4105(f) of this title, all contractors 
awarded the contracts shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered, 
pursuant to procedures set forth in the contracts, for each task or delivery 
order in excess of $2,500 that is to be issued under any of the contracts, 
unless— 
(1) the executive agency’s need for the services or property ordered 
is of such unusual urgency that providing the opportunity to all of

116 
those contractors would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling that 
need; 
(2) only one of those contractors is capable of providing the services 
or property required at the level of quality required because the services 
or property ordered are unique or highly specialized; 
(3) the task or delivery order should be issued on a sole-source basis 
in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow- 
on to a task or delivery order already issued on a competitive basis; 
or 
(4) it is necessary to place the order with a particular contractor to 
satisfy a minimum guarantee. 
(d) STATEMENT OF WORK.—A task or delivery order shall include a 
statement of work that clearly specifies all tasks to be performed or prop-
erty to be delivered under the order. 
(e) PROTESTS.—A protest is not authorized in connection with the 
issuance or proposed issuance of a task or delivery order except for a pro-
test on the ground that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum 
value of the contract under which the order is issued. 
(f) TASK AND DELIVERY ORDER OMBUDSMAN.— 
(1) APPOINTMENT OR DESIGNATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES.—The 
head of each executive agency who awards multiple task or delivery 
order contracts under section 4103(d)(1)(B) or 4105(f) of this title 
shall appoint or designate a task and delivery order ombudsman who 
shall be responsible for reviewing complaints from the contractors on 
those contracts and ensuring that all of the contractors are afforded 
a fair opportunity to be considered for task or delivery orders when re-
quired under subsection (c). 
(2) WHO IS ELIGIBLE.—The task and delivery order ombudsman 
shall be a senior agency official who is independent of the contracting 
officer for the contracts and may be the executive agency’s advocate 
for competition.

§ 4303. Effect of submission of unallowable costs 
(a) INDIRECT COST THAT VIOLATES FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULA-
TION COST PRINCIPLE.—An executive agency shall require that a covered 
contract provide that if the contractor submits to the executive agency a 
proposal for settlement of indirect costs incurred by the contractor for any 
period after those costs have been accrued and if that proposal includes the 
submission of a cost that is unallowable because the cost violates a cost 
principle in the Federal Acquisition Regulation or an executive agency sup-
plement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the cost shall be disallowed. 
(b) PENALTY FOR VIOLATION OF COST PRINCIPLE.— 
(1) UNALLOWABLE COST IN PROPOSAL.—If the executive agency de-
termines that a cost submitted by a contractor in its proposal for set-
tlement is expressly unallowable under a cost principle referred to in 
subsection (a) that defines the allowability of specific selected costs, the 
executive agency shall assess a penalty against the contractor in an 
amount equal to—

tracts for which a proposal for settlement of indirect costs has 
been submitted; plus 
(B) interest (to be computed based on provisions in the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation) to compensate the Federal Government 
for the use of the amount which a contractor has been paid in ex-
cess of the amount to which the contractor was entitled. 
(2) COST DETERMINED TO BE UNALLOWABLE BEFORE PROPOSAL 
SUBMITTED.—If the executive agency determines that a proposal for 
settlement of indirect costs submitted by a contractor includes a cost 
determined to be unallowable in the case of that contractor before the 
submission of that proposal, the executive agency shall assess a penalty 
against the contractor in an amount equal to 2 times the amount of 
the disallowed cost allocated to covered contracts for which a proposal 
for settlement of indirect costs has been submitted. 
(c) WAIVER OF PENALTY.—The Federal Acquisition Regulation shall pro-
vide for a penalty under subsection (b) to be waived in the case of a con-
tractor’s proposal for settlement of indirect costs when—

of an audit of the proposal by the Federal Government and resubmits 
a revised proposal; 
(2) the amount of unallowable costs subject to the penalty is insig-
nificant; or 
(3) the contractor demonstrates, to the contracting officer’s satisfac-
tion, that— 
(A) it has established appropriate policies and personnel train-
ing and an internal control and review system that provide assur-
ances that unallowable costs subject to penalties are precluded 
from being included in the contractor’s proposal for settlement of 
indirect costs; and 
(B) the unallowable costs subject to the penalty were inadvert-
ently incorporated into the proposal. 
(d) APPLICABILITY OF CONTRACT DISPUTES PROCEDURE.—An action of 
an executive agency under subsection (a) or (b)— 
(1) shall be considered a final decision for the purposes of section 
6903 of this title; and
