1217.7001 Clauses.
(a) The
clause at (TAR) 48 CFR 1252.217-70, Guarantee, shall be used where general
guarantee provisions are deemed desirable by the contracting officer.
(1) When
inspection and acceptance tests will afford full protection to the Government
in ascertaining conformance to specifications and the absence of defects and
deficiencies, no guarantee clause for that purpose shall be included in the
contract.
(2) The
customary guarantee period, to be inserted in the first sentence of the clause
at (TAR) 48 CFR 1252.217-70, Guarantee, is 60 days. In certain instances, it may be advisable for
the contracting officer to include a contract clause for a guarantee period
longer than 60 days. These instances are as follows:
(i) If,
as result of a full inquiry, the contracting officer determines that there will
be no increased costs as a result of a longer guarantee period, the contracting
officer may substitute guarantee longer than the usual 60 days; or
(ii)
When the contracting officer’s inquiry discloses that increased costs will
result or are expected to result from a longer guarantee period, the
contracting officer shall submit a letter to the Chief of the Contracting
Office, requesting approval for use of guarantee period in excess of 60 days.
The letter must contain sufficient facts to justify the use of a longer guarantee
period. Upon approval, the contracting
officer may insert a longer period in the first sentence of the clause at (TAR)
48 CFR 1252.217-70, Guarantee.
(b) The
following clauses are required:
(1)
(TAR) 48 CFR 1252.217-71 through (TAR) 48 CFR 1252.217-74; and,
(2)
(TAR) 48 CFR 1252.217-76 through (TAR) 48 CFR 1252.217-80.
(c)
(TAR) 48 CFR 1252.217-75 may be included in sealed bid fixed-price
solicitations and contracts for vessel repair, alteration, or conversion which
are to be performed within the United States, its possessions, or Puerto Rico.
(d)
Unless inappropriate, the clauses set forth in (TAR) 48 CFR 1252.217-71 through
(TAR) 48 CFR 1252.217-74 and (TAR) 48 CFR 1252.217-76 through (TAR) 48 CFR
1252.217-80 shall be included.
(e) (TAR) 48 CFR 1252.217-75 may be included in negotiated solicitations and contracts to be performed outside the United States.
