§ 18-16.402 Negotiated construction contract forms.

§ 18-16.402-1 General.

Except for Standard Form 30 (see §§ 18-16.103 and 18-16.815), use of the forms prescribed in § 18-16.401 is optional for negotiated construction contracts. When used for negotiated contracts, the forms shall be adapted by lining out or obliterating the words "sealed" and "publicly opened" and adding language to (1) indicate the authority for negotiation, and (2) provide that wherever the words "invitation" and "bid" occur they shall be deemed to refer to "solicitation" and "offer", respectively. The box immediately below the title of Standard Form 19, beside the phrase "check if small business set-aside or other negotiated procurement," must be checked when that form is used for negotiated contracts. The appropriate clauses required for negotiated contracts shall be added to the contract forms. For example, whenever Standard Form 23 is used, the "Examination of Records" clause (§ 18-7.104-15) must be added if the negotiated contract exceeds $2,500. In negotiated fixed-price contracts in excess of $10,000 where the contracting officer is not satisfied that the contract price, by virtue of competition or otherwise, excludes contingencies for State and local taxes, Clause 29 of NASA Form 604, entitled "Federal, State and Local Taxes", shall be deleted and the clause set forth in § 18-11.401-2(d) shall be substituted therefor.

[blocks in formation]

NASA Form 1379, or Standard Form 147 shall be used for construction contracts of $2,000 or less executed as a result of negotiation.
