Does anyone know the U.S. Code reference that states we can't pay for services not yet rendered?

I am being told that a PNM is required for all modifications. I thought PNMs were not required for FAR Part 13 mods under SAT. I would appreciate hearing other people's thoughts on the subject.

I am seeking clarification on the completion of Block 29. Per Block 29: "Award of Contract: ____________ Offer Dated _________. Your offer on solicitation (Block 5), including any additions or changes which are set forth herein, is accepted as to items:______________." My thought process is as follows: 1. Purchase Order are not contracts. 2. Quotations in response to Purchase Orders are not "accepted" by the government as the government is making the offer with the award of a Purchase Order which then has to be "accepted" by the Contractor. 3. The SF1449

Special Standard of Responsibility Use & Application
myfrogleaps replied to myfrogleaps's topic in Contract Award Process
Matthew Fleharty: Thank you for responding. The way in which you contrasted the two helps me better see the difference and their applicability; especially when looking at whether or not a stipulation is discriminant.- 15 replies

I am seeking some a better understanding of "Special Standards of Responsibility" as mentioned in FAR 9.104-2. I especially want to understand the relationship between "Special Standards of Responsibility" and evaluation factors. Can both be applied in the same requirements? If yes, how are they different and not the same? If not, how does one tell if they should be using one versus the other? Are "Special Standards of Responsibility" included in the solicitation and the award? I would greatly appreciate examples.

Are IAAs subject to the Contract Disputes Act?
myfrogleaps replied to myfrogleaps's topic in Contract Administration
At this point, I am not seeking clarification on an existing agreement nor am I seeking for people to simply quote excerpts from the FAR without clarifying their underlying assumptions when approaching the text and their subsequent interpretation of the text itself. I am simply trying to understand what Assisted Acquisition IAAs are supposed to look like when done right. Let me put it another way: The Contract Disputes Act applies to contracts made by a federal executive agency. (41 U.S. Code Sec. 7102) My present agency is an executive agency. -
Are IAAs subject to the Contract Disputes Act?
myfrogleaps replied to myfrogleaps's topic in Contract Administration
Todd Davis: I believe we are on the same page as far as how Direct and Assisted Acquisitions are defined. However, you have not directly addressed the second half of my question regarding the application of the Contract Disputes Act to Assisted Acquisitions. Please clarify. -
Are IAAs subject to the Contract Disputes Act?
myfrogleaps posted a topic in Contract Administration
It is my understanding that Direct Acquisition IAAs (those in which a federal employee is performing the services) are not covered under FAR Subpart 17.5 and therefore not covered by the Contracts Disputes Act but Assisted Acquisitions are covered by FAR Subpart 17.5 and therefore covered by the Contracts Disputes Act. Is this understanding correct? -
Does un-claimed, claim-able Work count as "free" work?
myfrogleaps replied to myfrogleaps's topic in Contract Administration
Thank you Vern. Sometimes I find I just need a pointer to help define the crucial questions and parameters of a situation and you have been most helpful. I believe I understand your response and based on that understanding I am not in violation of any FAR requirement as I have a valid PR and it's up to the Contractor if he wants to pursue a claim to recover charges for contract administration labor hours. -

Background: My co-worker and I disagree on a matter and I am looking for clarification to see if I am missing something. I am processing a modification for said co-worker to extend the Period of Performance only. The award was made for services as a FFP PO inclusive of 52.212-4. No other changes clauses were included. My co-worker wants to pursue issuance of a unilateral change order citing FAR 43.202 as the authority. My inclination is it is not permissible to issue a unilateral change order to the contract as the changes clauses included specifically states “Changes in the terms a
