Thanks so much for the clarification.

Coming from a world of competition, once a contract is awarded under AbilityOne, you can make any changes you want to the contract?

Thanks!

Section Chief/COR on that contract contracting officer

Agency received money for new data analysis. Current SOW has one on contract which was awarded in June 2022. This is a Ability One awarded without competition. The new SOW for the additional three days analysis is completely different than what’s on contract now. Can you change the SOW to make it what you want it to be? I hear this floating around the office that if the scope change is within 20% it can be done. I have found no regulations to support this. Final issue, the contract was awarded in June with a proposal that was over a year old. CO told contractor no worries we will mod the contract after award to fix this issue. Again, this price change was after award and was awarded via AbilityOne. What authority allowed this action to happen? They stated FAR 8.707
