which provides a stated alternative with respect to all, or some part, 
of the item being purchased.  Consequently, for a prescribed period, 
the Government must make a Contractor share payment for each unit it 
purchases on which the Contractor applies the VECP.  To determine 
payment entitlement for the VECP Contractor, offerors are required 
to indicate which of the production methods shown below is to be 
used under any contract resulting from this solicitation and the 
number of units to be produced by each production method selected.

    (b)  In selecting the method of production, the offeror is 
stipulating that all units identified to a specific production method 
below will be delivered using only the production method selected for 
that number of units.

    (c)  The Contractor is cautioned that only units identified to be 
produced under the method(s) selected in this clause will be accepted 
on the resulting contract unless such contract is formally modified by 
the Contracting Officer.

    (d)  The offeror shall select the production method (Check One) and 
number of units to be produced under each selected method (Fill-In).
Further, if more than one method of production is available under 
any chosen VECP number, the offeror shall identify the method(s) 
selected for use.

       [  ]  Method Using:  Specification/Drawings without any VECP.

             Number of units to be produced using this method.           


       [  ]  Method Using:

        VECP Number (LIST)                         (Number of Units)

                                                                    

If this is a procurement by sealed bidding and the bidder fails to 
indicate clearly in his bid whether the offer is based on furnishing 
units which incorporate the VECP, his bid shall be considered as 
offering only units which do not incorporate the VECP.
