            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
 
PART 50--EXTRAORDINARY CONTRACTUAL ACTIONS--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart 50.3--Contract Adjustments
 
50.301  General.

    The fact that losses occur under a contract is not sufficient basis 
for exercising the authority conferred by the Act. Whether appropriate 
action will facilitate the national defense is a judgment to be made on 
the basis of all of the facts of the case. Although it is impossible to 
predict or enumerate all the types of cases in which action may be 
appropriate, examples are included in 50.302 below. Even if all of the 
factors in any of the examples are present, other considerations may 
warrant denying a contractor's request for contract adjustment. The 
examples are not intended to exclude other cases in which the approving 
authority determines that the circumstances warrant action.
