For examples of a follow-on procurement, see FAR Part 9.508. These examples are not all-inclusive, but are intended to help the Contracting Officer (CO) apply the general rules in FAR Part 9.505 to individual situations. b. The above restrictions shall be included in all subcontracts, teaming arrangements, and other agreements calling for performance of work related to this contract action, unless exempted in writing by the CO. c.

The Contracting Officer shall be informed as soon as possible of any actions or inactions by the Contractor or the Government which will change the required delivery or completion times stated in the contract, and the contract shall be modified accordingly.

Whenever, in the opinion of the Contractor, the COR requests effort outside the scope of the contract, the contractor shall so advise the COR. If the COR persists and there still exists a disagreement as to proper contractual coverage, the Contracting Officer shall be notified immediately, preferably in writing if time permits. Proceeding with work without proper contractual coverage may result in nonpayment or necessitate submittal of a contract claim. The COR shall be responsible for initiating the Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) for awards over the simplified acquisition threshold of $150K to document contractor's performance during the period of performance 14 days after completion of services or delivery of goods.
