SECTION VII

CONTRACT CLAUSES AND SOLICITATION PROVISIONS

7-000 Scope of Section. This Section sets forth uniform contract clauses for use in connection with the procurement of supplies and services.

7-001 Incorporation by Reference.

(a) Except as may be otherwise indicated with respect to individual clauses, provisions, or groups thereof, all clauses and provisions of Section VII are susceptible to incorporation by reference in solicitations and contracts in accordance with the following criteria.

(1) A provision substantially as follows shall be employed to effect incorporation by reference:

The following Armed Services Procurement Regulation clauses and provisions, the full text of which will be made available upon request, are incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as if set forth in full text: (each clause and provision to be incorporated by reference shall then be identified by specific ASPR paragraph, clause or provision title, and date).

(2) The Chief of a Purchasing Office may further restrict incorporation by reference for specified contracts or classes of contracts.

(3) So long as the verbatim text satisfies all solicitation or contract requirements, incorporation by reference is authorized, notwithstanding that the clause or provision (i) is identified for alternate or optional use or as a sample, or (ii) requires insertion of an appropriate schedule provision by the Government for its completion.

(4) A clause or provision shall not be incorporated by reference if it (i) is not susceptible to precise identification as required by (1) above, (ii) requires completion by the offeror or contractor, or (iii) is otherwise impracticable for application of the technique.

(b) Clauses and provisions published in Departmental procurement instructions and Departmental ASPR implementations shall not be incorporated by reference.
