217.7700 Scope of subpart.
This subpart prescribes
policies and procedures for acquisition of over and above work.
217.7701 Procedures.
(a) Contracts for the
performance of maintenance, overhaul, modification, and repair of various items
(e.g., aircraft, engines, ground support equipment, ships) generally contain
over and above work requirements. When
they do, the contracting officer shall establish a separate contract line item
for the over and above work.
(b) Over and above
requirements task the contractor to identify needed repairs and recommend
corrective action during contract performance.
The contractor submits a work request to identify the over and above
work and, as appropriate, the Government authorizes the contractor to proceed.
(c) The clause at
252.217-7028, Over and Above Work, requires the contractor and the contracting
officer responsible for administering the contract to negotiate specific
procedures for Government administration and contractor performance of over and
above work requests.
(d) The contracting
officer may issue a blanket work request authorization describing the manner in
which individual over and above work requests will be administered and setting
forth a dollar limitation for all over and above work under the contract. The blanket work request authorization may
be in the form of a letter or contract modification (Standard Form 30).
(e) Over and above work
requests are within the scope of the contract.
Therefore, procedures in Subpart 217.74, Undefinitized Contractual
Actions, do not apply.
(f) To the maximum
extent practical, over and above work shall be negotiated prior to performance
of the work.
217.7702 Contract clause.
Use the clause at 252.217-7028, Over and Above Work, in solicitations and contracts containing requirements for over and above work, except as provided for in Subpart 217.71.
