            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
             CHAPTER 7--AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
 
Sec. 752.242-70  Periodic progress reports.

    As prescribed in 742.1170-3(c), insert the following clause in 
contracts for which periodic progress reports are required from the 
contractor. The term ``contract'' shall be interpreted as ``task order'' 
or ``delivery order'' when this clause is used in an indefinite-delivery 
contract.

                  Periodic Progress Reports (OCT 2007)

    (a) The contractor shall prepare and submit progress reports as 
specified in the contract schedule. These reports are separate from the 
interim and final performance evaluation reports prepared by USAID in 
accordance with FAR 42.15 and internal Agency procedures, but they may 
be used by USAID personnel or their authorized representatives when 
evaluating the contractor's performance.
    (b) During any delay in furnishing a progress report required under 
this contract, the contracting officer may withhold from payment an 
amount not to exceed US$25,000 (or local currency equivalent) or 5 
percent of the amount of this contract, whichever is less, until such 
time as the contractor submits the report or the contracting officer 
determines that the delay no longer has a detrimental effect on the 
Government's ability to monitor the contractor's progress.
