Contractual obligations include compliance with numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses incorporated by reference and by full text, covering areas such as government property, gratuities, system of award management maintenance, commercial item terms, ethics and whistleblower rights, labor standards, and unauthorized obligations. The contractor must maintain records for three years after final payment or termination settlement and adhere to strict reporting requirements including daily feed logs, incident reports within 24 hours of animal injury or death, and 72-hour advance notifications for animal transport.
