    Policy. For firm-fixed-price or fixed-price with economic price 

adjustment acquisitions of supplies and services, the contracting 

officer may use the simplified contract format in lieu of the uniform 

contract format (see 14.201-1). The contracting officer has flexibility 

in preparation and organization of the simplified contract format. 

However, the following format should be used to the maximum practical 

extent:

    (a) Solicitation/contract form. Standard Form (SF) 1447, 

Solicitation/Contract, shall be used as the first page of the 

solicitation.

    (b) Contract schedule. Include the following for each contract line 

item:

    (1) Contract line item number.

    (2) Description of supplies or services, or data sufficient to 

identify the requirement.

    (3) Quantity and unit of issue.

    (4) Unit price and amount.

    (5) Packaging and marking requirements.

    (6) Inspection and acceptance, quality assurance, and reliability 

requirements.

    (7) Place of delivery, performance and delivery dates, period of 

performance, and f.o.b. point.

    (8) Other item-peculiar information as necessary (e.g., individual 

fund citations).

    (c) Clauses. Include the clauses required by this regulation. 

Additional clauses shall be incorporated only when considered absolutely 

necessary to the particular acquisition.

    (d) List of documents and attachments. Include if necessary.

    (e) Representations and instructions--(1) Representations and 

certifications. Insert those solicitation provisions that require 

representations, certifications, or the submission of other information 

by offerors.

    (2) Instructions, conditions, and notices. Include the solicitation 

provisions required by 14.201-6. Include any other information/

instructions necessary to guide offerors.

    (3) Evaluation factors for award. Insert all evaluation factors and 

any significant subfactors for award.

    (4) Upon award, the contracting officer need not physically include 

the provisions in subparagraphs (e)(1), (2), and (3) of this subsection 

in the resulting contract, but shall retain them in the contract file. 

Award by acceptance of a bid on the award portion of SF 1447 

incorporates the representations, certifications, and other statements 

of bidders in the resultant contract even though not physically 

attached.
