As prescribed in 11.304-92 insert the following clause:
SUPERSEDED PART-NUMBERED ITEMS (AUG 2007) - DLAD
(a) Part number (P/N) changes. Part number changes are acceptable only when the offeror completes the following verification:
The offeror represents that the P/N requested in the solicitation has been changed from CAGE _____________, P/N ____________________ to P/N ________________ and that this is a part number change only. The reason for the change is ______________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The offeror represents that there has been no change to the parts form, fit, function, configuration, application, or physical nature and is therefore an exact item of replacement. Any award issued to the offeror for the new, superseding P/N shall be based on this verification. The Government may cancel any award for P/Ns determined to be unacceptable, and return any unacceptable parts for full refund including reimbursement for shipping charges. The Government also reserves the right to dispose of the unacceptable part, at contractor expense.
The Government has the right either to reject or to require correction of nonconforming supplies. Supplies are nonconforming when they are defective in material or workmanship or are otherwise not in conformity with contract requirements.
(b) If an item is superseded during the term of this award, the Contractor shall advise the Contracting Officer within fifteen (15) business days of such determination, or within five (5) business days if the superseded item is covered by a delivery order issued prior to the determination. The notice shall include complete information concerning the replacement item as it relates to the form, fit, and function, configuration, application, or physical nature of the superseded item. The Contracting Officer will determine whether the replacement item is acceptable to the Government, advise the Contractor within fifteen (15) business days, and modify the contract accordingly.
