PN 97-27
DESIGNATION OF CONTRACTS FOR NOTIFICATION TO THE GOVERNMENT
OF ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL LABOR DISPUTES
PURPOSE: To designate all NASA contracts in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold as requiring notification to the Government of actual or potential labor disputes that are delaying or threaten to delay timely contract performance.
BACKGROUND: FAR 22.101-1(e) permits the head of the contracting activity to designate programs or requirements for which contractors must notify the Government of actual or potential labor disputes that are delaying or threaten to delay timely contract performance. Contracts resulting from those programs or requirements are to include the clause at FAR 52.222-1, Notice to the Government of Labor Disputes. NASA believes it is appropriate, in order to establish consistent application across the agency, to designate the contracts in which the requirement for contractor notification shall be included. Accordingly, FAR 52.222-1 shall be included in all contracts in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold.
REPLACEMENT PAGES: You may use the enclosed pages to replace Part 1822 of the NFS. Also, Structure pages 7 and 8 are replaced and Structure page 9 is removed. These pages are being replaced because subpart 1842.13 appear twice on Structure page 7 in PN 97-26. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE: This PN was published as a final rule in the Federal Register (64 FR 14148 - 14149, March 24, 1999).
