    Insert the following clause in all solicitations and contracts other 

than purchase orders:



               Withholding of Contract Payments (APR 1984)



    Notwithstanding any other payment provisions of this contract, 

failure of the Contractor to submit required reports when due or failure 

to perform or deliver required work, supplies, or services, will result 

in the withholding of payments under this contract unless such failure 

arises out of causes beyond the control, and without the fault or 

negligence of the Contractor as defined by the clause entitled 

``Excusable Delays'' or ``Default'', as applicable. The Government shall 

promptly notify the Contractor of its intention to withhold payment of 

any invoice or voucher submitted.
