Order, and related clauses which implement the new maximum order
provisions. These new provisions allow customer agencies to seek price
decreases based on requirements which exceed the maximum order
established on any resultant contracts. To assist the customer agencies
to determine when they should seek a price decrease, a level called a
maximum order will be established under each contract. When an agency
order exceeds this amount, it is recommended that the agency contact
the vendor for a reduced price. The vendors will not be obligated to
accept these orders in accordance with FAR 52.216-19 (Var III). All
contracts to be awarded include Industrial Funding provisions. See Note
12 (Trade Agreements). All responsible sources may submit an offer
which will be considered. (0092) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0203 19980406\37-0001.SOL)
