CONTRACT CLAUSES AND SOLICITATION PROVISIONS (1) When it is desired to use a requirements contract for nonpersonal services and supplies incidental thereto, covering requirements estimated to be in excess of a specific activity's internal capabilities of performance, the following shall be inserted in paragraph (a) of the clause after the third sentence: These quantities are not the total requirements of the activity named in the Schedule; they are estimates of requirements in excess of the quantities which such activity may itself furnish within its own capabilities. Delete paragraph (b) of the clause and substitute the following: (b) Except as otherwise provided in this contract, the Government shall order from the Contractor all the requirements for supplies and services of the Government activity named in the Schedule in excess of the quantities which the activity may itself furnish within its own capabilities. (2) When subsistence requirements for both troop issuance and resale have been included in the same Schedule and it is contemplated that similar products will be procured on a “brand name” basis, include the following paragraph (h) in the clause set forth above: (h) The requirements referred to in this contract are for items to be manufactured according to Government specifications, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, the Government may procure similar products by "brand name" for resale purposes from other sources. (3)'When a requirement type contract is used to procure work (e.g., repair, modification, overhaul) on existing items of Government property, it shall be specifically stated in the Schedule that failure of the Government to furnish such items in the amounts or quantities described as “estimated” or “maximum" in the Schedule will not entitle the contractor to any equitable adjustment in price under the "Government Property" clause of such contract. (4) When a requirements contract involves a partial small business setaside or a labor surplus area set-aside, substitute the following for paragraph (b) of the above clause. (b) Since the Government's requirements for each item or sub-item of supplies or services described in the Schedule are being procured through one non-set-aside contract and one setaside contract, the Government shall order from each Contractor approximately one half of the total of such supplies or services set forth in the Schedule which are required to be purchased by the Government activity identified in the "Ordering" clause of this contract. The Government may choose between the set-aside Contractor and the non-set-aside Contractor in placing any particular order. However, the Government shall so allocate successive orders, in accordance with its delivery requirements, as to maintain as close a balance as is reasonably practicable between the total quantities ordered from the two Contractors.
