16.506(f)(90)

Use 52.216-9017, Single or Multiple Awards, on Solicitations and Contracts for single or multiple awards of indefinite quantity contracts when the Government reserves the right to award multiple task/delivery order contracts for the same or similar services or supplies to two or more sources under this solicitation. One or more awards may be conditioned on the approval of an alternate offer. Use with 52.216-27.

(90)  Additions or deletions. The clause at 52.216-9006 may be used in solicitations when a mechanism is needed for making additions or deletions to items covered by the contract, e.g. corporate contracts, LTCs incorporating a manufacturer's price list, comprehensive weapon system spare parts support or a specific range of items, etc.

(1)  Competition requirements must be addressed before new items may be added to a contract.

(2)  A scope of contract statement is necessary in both solicitation and contract to clearly establish the Government's intentions and rights under the contract. The contract scope statement should communicate a comprehensive objective for the acquisition, i.e. whether it is based on a specific stock class, weapon system, product line, manufacturer, or distributor, etc. The scope statement must not include information that conflicts with Section B or other terms of the solicitation. Contract specialists have considerable flexibility in defining contract scope but must be careful to avoid ambiguities. Example of a contract scope statement: "In addition to those items specified in Section B of this solicitation, the scope of this contract includes all DLA managed items manufactured by ABC Corp. in support of the XYZ weapon system. Items within the scope may be added to the contract at a later date in accordance with the terms of the clause 52.216-9006, Addition/Deletion of Items."
