BorderC Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm looking to see if there is a "right" or even "best" answer out there. Background: 100% single-award, IDIQ contract comprised completely of (multiple) CPAF task orders and 52.232-22 is incorporated at the contract level (for administrative purposes, funding is at the contract level and not the individual task order level). With the above facts, lets say that the contractor is overrunning some orders and underrunning others, but the net is an underrun. Would the steps for overrunning in 52.232-22 apply? Meaning, is the contractor accountable at the task order level (and TO overruns require additional allotment by the CO to complete work) or at the contract level (where there is no overrun). Thanks all. I appreciate the advice and guidance. (Sorry if this has been discussed previously. I searched and didn't see anything with the above fact pattern.)

Guest Vern Edwards Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Ask the contracting officer. The language of the clause applies it at the contract level, not the TO level. However, the boards of contract appeals have issued conflicting decisions. On at least one occasion the ASBCA has held it to apply at the order level. See Manos, Government Contract Costs and Pricing, Sec. 85:7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorderC Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thank you very much for your answer. That is a very expensive set of books. I wish there were more reasonably priced resources.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
