Solicitation provision and contract clause
FAR 32.1005 mandates the inclusion of specific clauses and provisions in solicitations and contracts involving performance-based payments to ensure clear terms and compliance.
Overview
FAR 32.1005 prescribes the use of specific solicitation provisions and contract clauses related to performance-based payments in federal contracts. It directs contracting officers to include the clause at 52.232-32 in solicitations and contracts that provide for performance-based payments, specifically in fixed-price contracts. Additionally, it requires the inclusion of the solicitation provision at 52.232-28 in negotiated solicitations where offerors are invited to propose performance-based payments, and mandates the use of Alternate I of this provision in competitive negotiated solicitations if the Government plans to adjust proposed prices for evaluation purposes. These requirements ensure that the terms and conditions for performance-based payments are clearly established and communicated to offerors and contractors.
