CANCELLATION OF ITEMS—SERVICE CONTRACTS (1974 APR)

(a) This clause applies only in the event this contract is awarded on the alternative basis for award described in the Schedule as "Multi-Year Procurement.

(b) As used herein, the term "cancellation" means that the Government is canceling, pursuant to this clause, its Program Year requirements for items as set forth in the Schedule for all Program Years subsequent to that in which notice of cancellation is provided. Such cancellation shall occur only if, by the date or within the time period specified in the Schedule, or such further time as may be agreed to, the Contracting Officer (i) notifies the Contractor that funds will not be available for contract performance for any subsequent Program Year; or (ii) fails to notify the Contractor that funds have been made available for performance of the Program Year requirement for the succeeding Program Year.

(c) Except for cancellation pursuant to this clause or for termination pursuant to the "Default" clause, any reduction by the Contracting Officer in the quantities called for under this contract shall be considered a termination in accordance with the "Termination for Convenience of the Government" clause of this contract.

(d) In the event of cancellation pursuant to this clause, the Contractor will be paid, as consideration therefor, a cancellation charge not to exceed the cancellation ceiling described and separately set forth in the Schedule as being applicable at the time of cancellation.

(e) The cancellation charge is intended to cover only expenses incurred by the Prime Contractor or his subcontractor which would have been equitably amortized in the unit prices for the entire multi-year contract period, but which, because of the cancellation are not so amortized. The cancellation charge shall be computed and the claim therefor made as would be applicable under the "Termination for Convenience of the Government" clause of this contract. The Contractor shall submit the claim promptly but in no event later than one year (i) from the date of notification of the nonavailability of funds, if issued pursuant to paragraph (b)(i), or (ii) from the date specified in the schedule by which notification of the availability of additional funds for the next succeeding program year is required to be issued, whichever is earlier, unless one or more extensions in writing are granted by the Contracting Officer, upon request of the Contractor made in writing within such one year period or authorized extension thereof. The claim may include reasonable start-up and other nonrecurring costs such as plant or equipment relocation costs; the costs of special tooling and special equipment; allocable portions of the costs of facilities acquired or established for the conduct of the work, provided such costs have not been charged to the contract through overhead, or otherwise depreciated, and to the extent that it is impracticable for the Contractor to utilize such facilities in the conduct of his commercial work; costs incurred for the assembly training and transportation of a specialized work force to and from the job site; and costs not amortized by the level contract unit price solely because the cancellation had precluded anticipated benefits of Contractor or subcontractor learning. The claim shall not include any amount for:

(i) labor, material, or other expenses incurred by the Contractor or its subcontractor for performance of the canceled work;

7-1903.33

ARMED SERVICES PROCUREMENT REGULATION

CONTRACT CLAUSES AND SOLICITATION PROVISIONS

(ii) any item of cost for which payment has already been made to the Contractor;
(iii) anticipated profit on the canceled work;

(iv) the remaining useful commercial life of facilities. Useful commercial life, for this pur-
pose, means the commercial utility of the facilities rather than the physical life
thereof, with due consideration given to such factors as location of facilities, special-
ized nature thereof, and obsolescence.

(f) If this contract includes an option to increase quantities in which the period for exercise of the option is limited to the date set forth in the contract for notifying the Contractor that funds are available for the requirement of the next succeeding program year, the Contractor agrees not to include in the price for option quantities any costs of a startup or nonrecurring nature, which costs have been fully provided for in the unit prices of the firm quantities of the Program Years, and further agrees that the prices offered for option quantities will reflect only those recurring costs, and a reasonable profit thereon, which are necessary to furnish the additional option quantites. Therefore, any quantities added to the original contract quantities through exercise of the Government option in the “Option to Increase Quantities” clause of this contract shall not be subtracted from what would otherwise be considered the quantity canceled for the purpose of computing allowable cancellation charges.

(End of clause)

(c) Limitation of Price and Contractor Obligations-Service Contracts Under Public Law 90-378 or 91-142. In accordance with 1-322.8, insert the following clause.

LIMITATION OF PRICE AND CONTRACTOR OBLIGATIONS-SERVICE CONTRACTS UNDER PUBLIC LAW 90-378 OR 91-142 (1976 JUL)

(a) This clause applies only in the event this contract is awarded on the alternative basis for award described in the Schedule as "Multi-year Procurement."

(b) Funds are available for performance of this contract in the amount specifically described in the Schedule, as available for contract performance. The funds so described at the time of award are not available for contract performance required by and described in the Schedule for any fiscal year (1 October 30 September) other than the first fiscal year. Upon availability to the Contracting Officer of funds for performance of requirements in the next succeeding fiscal year, the Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor in writing of the amount of funds available for contract performance in the next succeeding fiscal year and the contract shall be modified accordingly. This procedure shall apply for each successive fiscal year.

(c) The Government is not obligated to the Contractor for contract performance in any monetary amount in excess of that described in the Schedule or modifications thereto, as available for contract performance in the applicable fiscal year.

(d) The Contractor is not obligated to incur costs for the performance required for any fiscal year after the first unless and until he has been notified in writing by the Contracting Officer of the availability of funds in accordance with paragraph (b) of this clause. If so notified, the Contractor's obligation shall be increased only to the extent contract performance is required for the fiscal year for which funds have been made available.

(e) In the event of termination pursuant to the "Termination for Convenience of the Government" clause of this contract, the terms "total contract price" as used in that clause refers to the amount available for performance of this contract, as provided for in this clause for the current fiscal year including the applicable amount established as the cancellation ceiling, and the term "work under the contract" as used in that clause refers to the work under fiscal year requirements for which funds have been made available. In the event of termination for default, the Government's rights under this contract shall apply to the entire multi-year requirements.

(f) Notification to the Contractor of an increase or decrease in the funds available for performance of this contract as a result of a clause other than this clause (e.g., exercise of an option for increased quantities or the "Changes" clause) shall not constitute the notification contemplated by paragraph (b) of this clause.
