unilateral
A modification that only requires the signature from the government’s contracting officer is typically a unilateral modification. This type of modification is often used to make administrative changes, such as extending the contract period, adjusting the delivery schedule, or making changes to the payment terms, without requiring agreement from the contractor.
Administrative modifications involve changes to the contract that are not specifically related to the terms and conditions of the agreement, such as changes to the project schedule or administrative procedures. These modifications do not impact the substantive obligations or rights of the parties involved in the contract.
Unilateral modification typically refers to changes made by one party to a contract without the agreement of the other party. These changes may involve administrative adjustments or change orders that affect the terms of the contract, such as scope, schedule, or price. The key aspect is that the modification is made without mutual consent, potentially impacting the contractual relationship.
Yes, the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) can waive the applicability of the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) for a particular contract under certain circumstances. This typically occurs when the contract falls below the CAS thresholds or if the ACO determines that a waiver is in the government's best interest. However, such waivers must comply with relevant regulations and guidelines. It is essential to document the rationale for the waiver to ensure transparency and accountability.
There will be no substantive changes to our contract until next year. Please attend the meeting because several substantive issues up for discussion.
Contract law is substantive because it deals with the substantive rights and obligations of parties to a contract (and others whose rights are affected by the contract). Procedure deals with the workings of the court; the form in which pleadings are to be drafted, evidence is received, etc.
Procedural modification involves administrative changes and change orders that do not directly impact the parties' contractual relationship, focusing instead on process improvements and operational adjustments. This type of modification aims to enhance efficiency and effectiveness without altering the foundational terms of the contract.
