Comment: A respondent noted that the FAR matrix now requires that both FAR 52.209-9 and its Alternate be incorporated in full text. The respondent commented that both the clause and its alternate should be available for incorporation into contracts by reference.

Response: The change has been incorporated into the FAR provision and clause matrix under FAR subpart 52.3, Provision and Clause Matrix, available for review at https://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/52_300.html#wp1077611.
