contract amount is expected to be at or below the simplified acquisition 

threshold and inclusion of the clause is in the Government's interest.

officer shall use the clause with its Alternate I. If a fixed-ceiling-

price contract with retroactive price redetermination is contemplated, 

the contracting officer shall use the clause with its Alternate II.
