Sec. 1552.211-73  Level of effort--cost-reimbursement term contract.

    As prescribed in 1511.011-73, insert the following contract clause 
in cost-reimbursement term contracts including cost contracts without 
fee, cost-sharing contracts, cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) contracts, cost-
plus-incentive-fee contracts (CPIF), and cost-plus-award-fee contracts 
(CPAF).

      Level of Effort--Cost-Reimbursement Term Contract (APR 1984)

    (a) The Contractor shall perform all work and provide all required 
reports within the level of effort specified below. The Government 
hereby orders ---- direct labor hours for the base period, which 
represents the Government's best estimate of the level of effort to 
fulfill these requirements.
    (b) Direct labor includes personnel such as engineers, scientists, 
draftsmen, technicians, statisticians, and programmers and not support 
personnel such as company management, typists, and key punch operators 
even though such support personnel are normally treated as direct labor 
by the Contractor. The level of effort specified in paragraph (a) 
includes Contractor, subcontractor, and consultant labor hours.
    (c) If the Contractor provides less than 90 percent of the level of 
effort specified for the base period or any optional period ordered, an 
equitable downward adjustment of the fixed fee, if any, for that period 
will be made. The Government may require the Contractor to provide 
additional effort up to 110 percent of the level of effort for any 
period until the estimated cost for that period has been reached. 
However, this additional effort shall

not result in any increase in the fixed fee, if any. If this is a cost-
plus-incentive-fee (CPIF) contract, the term ``fee'' in this paragraph 
means ``base fee and incentive fee.'' If this is a cost-plus-award-fee 
(CPAF) contract, the term ``fee'' in this paragraph means ``base fee and 
award fee.''
    (d) If the level of effort specified to be ordered during a given 
base or option period is not ordered during that period, that level of 
effort may not be acumulated and ordered during a subsequent period.
    (e) These terms and conditions do not supersede the requirements of 
either the ``Limitation of Cost'' or ``Limitation of Funds'' clauses.
