5301.304 Agency Control and Compliance Procedures

(c)(4) The use of nonstandard clauses requires an approved D&F addressing the criteria outlined in DFARS PGI 201.301(b)(iii). See the DAF Clause Control Plan for approvals, including those requiring OUSD(A&S)/DPC approval. See the tailorable Non-Standard Clause Control Template. Prior to using a reopener clause, the contracting officer must document the D&F that its use is the most appropriate means of overcoming a contingency that could affect contract price and obtain approval from the SCO. The SCO must submit a copy of the approval to SAF/AQCP.
