         CHAPTER 24--DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
Sec. 2452.216-75  Unpriced task orders.

    As prescribed in 2416.506-70(a), insert the following clause:

                     Unpriced Task Orders (FEB 2006)

    (a) Prior to the issuance of a task order under this contract, it is 
anticipated that the government and the contractor will reach agreement 
on the price or total cost and fee (if applicable) for the services to 
be provided under the order. The Contracting Officer may authorize 
commencement of work prior to final agreement on cost or price. In such 
case, the contractor shall immediately commence performance of the 
services specified in the order and shall submit a pricing proposal 
within 15 days of receipt of the task order. Upon completion of 
negotiations, the final negotiated cost or price will be set forth in a 
supplemental agreement that is executed by the contractor and the 
Contracting Officer. Failure to agree upon the cost or price shall be 
considered a dispute subject to the Disputes clause of this contract.
    (b) Unpriced task orders shall indicate a ``not-to-exceed'' amount 
for the order; however, such amount shall not exceed 50 percent of the 
estimated cost of the task order. The task order shall only require the 
Contracting Officer's signature, but shall also comply with all other 
task order requirements. Unpriced task orders shall indicate the date by 
which the government anticipates that the cost or price of the order 
will be definitized.

                             (End of clause)
