5-8.4 Notification of Contract Changes

Under paragraph c of Clause 4-1: General Terms and Conditions, or Clause B-37: Changes (Construction), when the supplier considers that any written or oral order (including a direction, an interpretation, an instruction, or a determination) from the CO causes a change in the contract, the supplier must notify the CO in writing that the supplier regards the order as a change order. The CO must then evaluate the order, notify the purchase/SCM team of the findings, and do as follows:

  1. Confirm that it is a change, direct further performance, and plan for its funding.
  2. Countermand the alleged change.
  3. Notify the supplier that no change is considered to have been ordered.
