[blocks in formation]

(a) To assure flexibility for changing programs, it is the general policy of the Navy to hold to a minimum the amount of funds under contract obligation, at any one time, for the supplies and services the Navy must buy. (b) Quantities of supplies or services being procured should meet requirements for a reasonable period of time. To this end, and consistent with the obtaining of reasonable prices, use should be made of indefinite quantity contracts or such other contractual methods for the obtaining of supplies or services when the total requirements are not firm but requirements for a lesser known quantity have been definitely established.

(c) It is not desired that purchases be made in quantities so small that prices are thereby increased or that this policy be applied to purchases which are so small as to render administrative cost disproportionate to results to be achieved.

(d) Procuring activities are permitted wide discretion in the implementation of § 737.1-350-1.

§ 737.1-350-2 Adequate procurement lead time.

(a) The period allowed for the solicitation of bids or offers is an important segment of necessary contract lead time. An adequate solicitation period is essential to obtain effective competition, provide for an orderly procurement process, and assure that resulting contracts are placed at reasonable prices. Accordingly, contracting activities shall ascertain what contract lead time is necessary in advance of deadline dates for final obligation purposes

to permit a normal solicitation period. At least once, early in each fiscal year, contracting activities shall formally advise the activities they regularly serve in a contracting capacity of deadline dates for submission of purchase requests.

(b) It is the policy of the Department of the Navy that the procurement lead time essential to obtaining adequate available competition shall not be curtailed for the purpose of obligating annual appropriations. (See also § 2.202-1.)

§ 737.1-351 Preparation and distribution of contractual documents.

§ 737.1-351-2 Referencing publications in contractual documents.

In the preparation of contractual documents, instructions to the contractor shall not be incorporated by reference to publications except in cases where the referenced publication is readily available to the contractor. Otherwise such instructions shall be set forth in the contractual document itself or shall be made available by attaching thereto a copy of the publication or the applicable portion thereof. § 737.1-351-5 Copies of contracts request. ed in Navy MIPR's. See § 737.5-1106-1.

8 737.1-351-7 Notification to field contract administrator of the identification of the organizational unit or code within the contracting activity responsible for contract administration functions.

In the interest of improving channels of communications, where a contracting officer anticipates a repetitive need for correspondence or contact between the contracting office and an activity designated to perform field contract administration, the organizational unit or code and its specific area of responsibility within the contracting office responsible for the administration of the contract should be furnished to the field contract administrator by any appropriate means.

§ 737.1-351-9 Delivery status information on procurements for the ILP.

(a) Contracts and purchase orders awarded in support of requisitions for the ILP shall:

(1) Identify the requirement as a separate contract line item or subline item in accordance with § 20.304-2. The applicable requisition number plus:

(i) The country and case identifier (MIL STRIP CC 31-32 and 48-50) for FMS (Foreign Military Sales);

(ii) The Record Control/Program/ Directive number identifier (MIL STRIP CC 46-50) shall be entered immediately under the line or subline item for GA (Grant Aid). (Navy/ Marine Corps ILP requisitions are identified by the letter P or K preceding the requisition number, Army is B, Air Force is D, Defense is T (MILSTRIP CC 30).)

(2) Provide for the designated contract administration services component to distribute to the Navy International Logistics Control Office, Bayonne, New Jersey, a copy of any report or document which indicates an anticipated or actual delay in delivery of line or subline items for the ILP. Copies of such reports distributed to Navy International Logistics Control Office, shall include the requisition number applicable to the line or subline item involved and shall be in addition to any other distribution required by the contract or directives applicable to the contract administration services component.

§ 737.1-352 Limitation on contract amendments for new procurement.

It is the policy of the Department of the Navy to avoid the use of contract amendments for additional quantities as a means of purchasing new requirements of supplies, when such a procedure would result in prolonging the life of the contract beyond the time when final settlement would normally be made. The practice of extending contracts for this purpose has the following undesirable results:

(a) Possible use of obsolete or outmoded forms of contracts;

(b) Possible loss of the rights of the parties in a confusion of paperwork; and

[blocks in formation]

(a) Contractors frequently include in some of their commercial advertisements reference to their participation in Navy programs. Prior to placement of these advertisements the contractor may seek approval thereof from some Departmental office, generally the cognizant field contract administrator. It is the general policy of the Department of the Navy not to object to such advertisements provided they do not:

(1) Directly or indirectly constitute an endorsement by the Department or any member thereof of the contractor's product or service;

(2) Indicate or imply in any manner Departmental preference of the contractor;

(3) Contain reference to contract numbers or other contractual details;

or

(4) Disclose classified military information.

(b) Contractors are not required to obtain prior clearance for advertisements. However, any Departmental office that becomes aware of any advertisement which appears to conflict with the conditions of paragraph (a) of this section shall immediately bring it to the attention of the cognizant field contract administration office. The cognizant field office shall take necessary action with the contractor to resolve the matter in consonnance with the aforesaid policy. In the event this matter cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the cognizant field office, the matter shall be referred by letter report to the Chief of Naval Material (MAT 021). The letter report shall include a statement of all facts and circumstances in sufficient detail to enable the Chief of Naval Material to take appropriate action.
