composition, platemaking, presswork, duplicating, silk screen processes, 
binding, microform, and the end items of such processes and equipment.
    (c) The Contractor is authorized to duplicate or copy production 
units provided the requirement does not exceed 5,000 production units of 
any one page or 25,000 units in the aggregate of multiple pages. Such

    (e) Costs associated with printing, duplicating, or copying in 
excess of the limits in paragraph (c) of this clause are unallowable 
without prior written approval of the Contracting Officer. If the 
Contractor has reason to believe that any activity required in 
fulfillment of the contract will necessitate any printing or substantial 
duplicating or copying, it immediately shall provide written notice to 
the Contracting Officer and request approval prior to proceeding with 
the activity. Requests will be processed by the Contracting Officer in 
accordance with the provisions of the Government Printing and Binding 
Regulations, NFS 1808.802, and NPR 1490.5, NASA Procedural Requirements 
for Printing, Duplicating, and Copying Management.
    (f) The Contractor shall include in each subcontract which may 
involve a requirement for any printing, duplicating, and copying in 
excess of the limits specified in paragraph (c) of this clause, a 
provision substantially the same as this clause, including this 
paragraph (f).
