In line with this conversation I have another question. If you look at www.acquisition.gov and review the matrix it shows that 52.212-5 incorporate by reference (IBR) yes.
If you look at http://farsite.hill.af.mil/vmfara.htm matrix it states NO for IBR for 52.212-5. We are being told that the farsite will no longer be updated and to follow www.acquisition.gov .
I agree with ContractingPeoplesHatred that provisions and clauses should be incorporated to the maximum practical extent. How would you incorporate 52.212-5 by reference?
