                CHAPTER 20--NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 
Sec. 2052.216-73  Accelerated task order procedures.

    As prescribed at 2016.506-70(b), the contracting officer may insert 
the following clause in applicable solicitations and contracts that 
contain task order procedures. This clause may be altered to fit the 
circumstances of the requirement.

              Accelerated Task Order Procedures (JAN 1993)

    (a) The NRC may require the contractor to begin work before 
receiving a definitized task order from the contracting officer. 
Accordingly, when the contracting officer verbally authorizes the work, 
the contractor shall proceed with performance of the task order subject 
to the monetary limitation established for the task order by the 
contracting officer.
    (b) When this accelerated procedure is employed by the NRC, the 
contractor agrees to begin promptly negotiating with the contracting 
officer the terms of the definitive task order and agrees to submit a 
cost proposal with supporting cost or pricing data. If agreement on a 
definitized task order is not reached by the target date mutually agreed 
upon by the contractor and contracting officer, the contracting officer 
may determine a reasonable price and/or fee in accordance with Subpart 
15.8 and Part 31 of the FAR, subject to contractor appeal as provided in 
52.233-1, Disputes. In any event, the contractor shall proceed with 
completion of the task order subject only to the monetary limitation 
established by the contracting officer and the terms and conditions of 
the basic contract.
