Key Rules
- Mandatory Inclusion: The clause must be included in fixed-price construction or demolition/dismantling contracts expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT).
- Discretionary Inclusion: The Contracting Officer has the option to include the clause for similar contracts valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold.
- Contract Types: Specifically applies to fixed-price construction, dismantling, demolition, or removal of improvements.
Practical Implications
