Scenario: The Government ordered a widget at a cost of $100,000. Due to issues with the Government's specifications, the Contractor needed to adjust some of the characteristics/specifications of the widget (size, color, etc.). The Government accepted the changes in order for an on-time delivery and the new widget will meet the Governments need but it is worth less. The CO believes there should be a cost savings of $10,000. The contractor has offered compensation in the form of accessories for that widget that would be to the benefit of the Government to accept. Question: Can the Government accept other than money for a change in cost of the requirement (i.e. can the Government accept $10,000 in accessories to cover the difference?)
Note: I've tried to be as clear as I could, let me know if additional detail is necessary.
