Editor's Notes

  • #18 ABOUT ME
  • #19 IN OTHER WORDS, THESE REGULATIONS ARE IN ADDITION TO THE FAR REQUIREMENTS.
  • #21 ONCE THE CONTRACTING OFFICER HAS NOTIFIED THE PRIME – THEN THE PRIME MUST…. *And impose a similar notice and flowdown requirement in subcontracts valued greater than $150k at all tiers
  • #22 PGI- PROOCEDURES, GUIDANCE AND INFORMATION. PGI is a companion resource to the DFARS. Provides guidance and information relevant to FAR and DFARS topics The PGI for 171 provides guidance to the KO for how to provide sufficient information in each Mod to help the paying office ID the changes appropriately. The PGI for 172 (PGI 204.1671) provides guidance on how to understand the order of Mods, when the numeric order is NOT the order of when the changes took effect. The PGI then instructs that the order is determined by effective date and/or signature date
  • #23 This limitation may be increased in certain circumstances. * AKA CLASSIFIED GOVT INITIATIVES. In either case, however, the KO should apply these standards to them to the maximum extent practicable, unless the KO makes a determination that it is impracticable. Then the KIO shall provide prior notice through agency channels
  • #24 If the REA exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold the contractor MUST CERTIFY! 243-205-72 HAS OTHER AGREEMENTS WHICH REQUIRE THE CLAUSEs BUT FOR THIS PRESENTATION WE ONLLY CARE ABOUT UNPRICED CHANGE ORDERS.
  • #25 Questions? My contact information is here you can take a picture of the slide or scan the QR code in the slice.
