GFM will no longer be provided to Contractors that are awarded contracts for end item dress clothing contracts. The Government will still make available to the Contractor, for use in connection with and under the terms of this contract, the material set forth below, and the Contractor shall utilize such materials in the furnishing of supplies hereunder. All other types of materials required in the performance of this contract shall be furnished by the Contractor.

The Government shall be the sole source of the supply of the materials listed above and only such material obtained from the Government under this contract may be used in the performance of this contract. The material will be priced at the current DLA Troop Support contract price for the material being purchased with an additional 2% inflation added on for each option year. The material price will be listed in the solicitation and the Contractor is required to submit pricing inclusive of the material price (CMT + Material price). The Contractor can purchase any amount of cloth desired that does not exceed 2% of the total yardage required to produce the item based on the Government BOM. In order not to affect planning and the purchase of cloth by the Government, unlimited quantities of cloth cannot be sold to the Contractor. In the event that the Contractor would like material in excessive quantities, defined as purchasing more than 2% of the total unit allowance determined by the Government BOM for that delivery order, the Contractor may submit a request for the excess material. Depending on fabric inventory levels, the Contracting Officer may, at his or her discretion, approve the request for some or all of the excessive quantities. The Contractor shall submit a properly executed DLA Troop Support Form, Prime Contractor's Request for the Purchase of Material, to the Contract Specialist. The procedure for requesting material has not changed. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to request the material in sufficient time to comply with the delivery schedule of the contract. The Government reserves the right to ship partial orders of material depending on the current available stock. The Contractor is not required to purchase the entire amount of material at one time that is required to complete the delivery order. The Contractor may purchase the entire amount of material required to complete the delivery at one time and schedule partial shipments for later dates. If the cloth required to complete a delivery order is purchased all at once, payment is due 180 days after the date of the sale. If smaller increments are purchased, payment is due 180 days from each incremental sale. The Government will not purchase extra fabric leftover after the end of a contract. Upon the delivery of end items, the Contractor will be paid the agreed upon unit price for the contract. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to pay the balance owed to the Government for the material as end items are shipped and payments are received. The Contractor will receive a bill from DFAS for the amount of the cloth purchased that will outline the procedures for payment. A copy of the bill must be submitted with every payment. The Contractor will only receive one bill and must make copies of it if incremental payments will be made. This ensures there is a copy of the bill linking every incremental payment made. The balance due for the purchase of the cloth must be paid within 180 days after the date of the bill for the purchase of the material. In the case that delivery schedules have been extended, the Government may extend the payment terms beyond 180 days. The Contractor will have a continuing balance owed to the Government for the material until end items are shipped and payments are received by the Contractor and made to the Government. In the case that a Contractor makes a late payment or no payment at all, a standard rate of interest will be charged to the Contractor's account which is determined by DFAS. Failure to make payment may also impact the placement of future delivery orders on this contract and will be considered as a part of any future assessment of past performance. Final payment on this contract will be withheld until all material is paid for. Note that once the sale is made for the cloth, the Contractor assumes all responsibility for the cloth including care and safety.
