4-2.10 Delays

The supplier must promptly notify the contracting officer if it is unable to comply with delivery dates specified in the contract. The contracting officer coordinates the information and alternatives with the client and the purchase/SCM team. Following these discussions, the contracting officer can:

• Accept the delays and establish a new delivery schedule. The contracting officer must notify all receiving sites of the new schedule. This acceptance would normally include some additional considerations (price, performance, quantity, or service) from the supplier.
• Accept partial deliveries of completed products and reschedule the remaining quantities. Again the contracting officer must notify all receiving sites of the revisions. This acceptance would normally include some additional considerations (price, performance, quantity, or service) from the supplier.
• Reject the delay and terminate the contract for default. Further information on terminating a contract for default can be found in Section 5-13, Terminate Contract.

Clause 4-1: General Terms and Conditions addresses delay of performance or delivery.
