Sec. 752.211-70  Language and measurement.



    The following clause shall be used in all USAID-direct contracts.



                   Language and Measurement (JUN 1992)



    (a) The English language shall be used in all written communications 

between the parties under this contract with respect to services to be 

rendered and with respect to all documents prepared by the contractor 

except as otherwise provided in the contract or as authorized by the 

contracting officer.

    (b) Wherever measurements are required or authorized, they shall be 

made, computed, and recorded in metric system units of measurement, 

unless otherwise authorized by USAID in writing when it has found that 

such usage is impractical or is likely to cause U.S. firms to experience 

significant inefficiencies or the loss of markets. Where the metric 

system is not the predominant standard for a particular application, 

measurements may be expressed in both the metric and the traditional 

equivalent units, provided the metric units are listed first.



                             (End of clause)
