  15. @overmyhead Please do not use abbreviations like FCL. We presume FCL means facility clearance. If that is not the case, please tell us what it means.

    The answers to your questions are:

    1. No. Read your contract. It should include the clause at FAR 52.216-22, Indefinite Quantity (OCT 1995). Read paragraph (d).

    2. Ask your customer if they can and will.

    3. Ask your customer.

    In our September issue, Ralph wrote about the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals' decision in the matter of Red Bobtail Transportation, ASBCA 63771, 24-1 BCA ¶ 38,591, 2024 WL 2873960. See Performance Incentives: Follow the Rules, 38 NCRNL ¶ 50. That case involved a firm-fixed-price “performance-based” contract for transportation services in Afghanistan that was
    awarded in 2014 by the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM).

    In the July issue, we told of a U.S. Army procurement of grounds maintenance services in which the agency conducted a simplified acquisition for commercial services, set aside for small businesses, to mow less than two acres of grass 18 times a year for one year with four one-year extension options. The work will include edging, trimming, pruning, and general cleanup at a small Army facility in suburban Virginia. We told how in order to do that the Army issued a 90-page Request for Quotations containing 105 Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense FAR Supplement solicitation provisions and contract clauses and incorporating a 525-page Army grounds maintenance regulation as the standard of quality. See Simplification, Reform, Streamlining, and Innovation: The Government Is Immune to Those Things, 38 NCRNL ¶ 44.

    Much is being said these days about the importance of lifelong (continuous) learning in the contracting profession. That’s a good thing, but what does it mean, and how should one go about it?
