Operational Contract Support (19-008)
a disagreement between the contractor and the contracting officer regarding the rights of the
parties under a contract. Under the CONTRACT DISPUTES ACT (CDA) OF 1978, 41 U.S.C.,
subsection 601-613, contractors are permitted to submit CLAIMs (demands for a sum certain)
against the Government. Conversely, the Government may make claims against contractors.
Prior to 1995, claims could not be adjudicated by a BOARD OF CONTRACT APPEALS or the
U.S. COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS until there had been a dispute followed by the submission
of a claim. However, in Reflectone, Inc. v. Dalton, 60 F.3d 1572 (Fed. Cir. 1995), the rule was
changed and it was held that there was no requirement that there be a dispute prior to the filing
of a proper claim except where the issue was nonpayment of a VOUCHER, INVOICE, or routine
request for payment. In normal circumstances, disputes are resolved through negotiation or by
the use of ALTERNATIVE - ANS-Dispute

a PWS is a form of SOW emphasizing measurable performance requirements and quality
standards utilizing performance-based language to describe the specifications/requirements.
The requiring activity describes its requirements and lets the contactor determine how it will
meet them. The contract is based on performance rather than methodology as in a traditional
SOW. It is a DoD best-practice to use the PWS to the maximum extent practicable when
acquiring services. Often times the terms PWS and SOW are used interchangeably. (SOURCE
ATTP 4-10). - ANS-Performance Work Statement

a written order signed by the Contracting Officer (KO), directing the contractor to make a
CHANGE without the contractor's consent, as authorized by the contract's Changes clause.
FAR 43.101. Generally, Government contracts contain one of the Changes clauses in FAR
52.243-1 through -6 permitting the KO to make unilateral changes, in designated areas, within
the general SCOPE OF THE CONTRACT. These changes are accomplished by issuing written
orders of Standard Form 30, Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract, FAR
53.301-30. Change orders must be issued by the KO, except when authority to issue such
orders is delegated to an Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO). FAR 43.202. Upon receipt of
a change order, the contractor must continue performance of the contract as changed, except
that, in cost-reimbursement or incrementally funded contracts, the contractor is not obligated to
continue performance or incu - ANS-Change Order

all requests for contracted services must also include an independent government cost
estimate. Like the PWS/SOW, it is the requiring activities' responsibility to determine the
approximate cost of the required supply or service. As with the PWS/SOW, the supporting

, contracting organization may be able to provide guidance and assistance in developing this cost
estimate. - ANS-Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE)

An individual or business, to include authorized subcontractors, that provides products or
services for monetary compensation, or other consideration, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of a contract. - ANS-Contractor

an objection, submitted by an INTERESTED PARTY in writing, protesting an agency solicitation
for offers, the cancellation of SOLICITATION, or the award or proposed award of a contract.
FAR 33.101. Protests are also known as "bid protests," "award protests," or "protests against
award." Protest can be made to (1) the procuring agency, before or after award, FAR 33.103; (2)
the GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE (GAO), within 10 calendar days after the grounds for the
protest are known or should have been known. - ANS-Protest

any written change in the terms of the contract. FAR 43.101. Modifications are either bilateral or
unilateral. A bilateral modification (SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT) is a contract modification
that is signed by both the contractor and the contracting officer. Bilateral modifications are used
to (1) make negotiated equitable adjustments resulting from the issuance of a CHANGE
ORDER, (2) definitize LETTER CONTRACTs, and (3) reflect other agreements of the parties
modifying the terms of the contract. A unilateral modification is a contract modification that is
signed only by the contracting officer. Unilateral modifications may be used, for example, to (1)
make ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGEs, (2) issue change orders, (3) make changed authorized by
clauses other than a Changes clause, and (4) issue TERMINATION NOTICEs. FAR 43.103.
Most Government contracts contain a Changes clause permitting the contracting officer to make

are contingency contractor employees and all tiers of subcontractor employees who are
specifically authorized through their contract to accompany the force in foreign contingency
operations. During international armed conflicts, CAAF are protected as prisoners of war IAW
the Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. In situations where US
forces are in a host nation (HN) at its request, the terms of any status-of-forces agreements
(SOFAs) will have to be reviewed to determine their applicability to CAAF. Generally, all US
citizens and TCN contingency contractor and subcontractor employees who do not normally
reside within the operational area, whose area of performance is in the direct vicinity of US
forces, and who routinely reside with US forces (especially in uncertain or hostile environments)
are considered CAAF. CAAF also may include some mission essential LN contractor employees

are contracts awarded by a Military Department and USSOCOM contracting offices' supporting
systems program executive offices (PEOs) and PM offices for the provision of technical support,
maintenance, and, in some cases, repair parts for selected military weapon and support

fielded weapons systems, including aircraft, land combat vehicles, and automated command
and control (C2) systems. - ANS-Systems support contracts
