(Based on DFARS 252.243-7002 (MAR 1998) (MODIFIED))

is met.)
(a) The amount of any request for equitable adjustment
to contract terms shall accurately reflect the contract adjustment for
which the Seller believes the Buyer or the Government is liable.
The request shall include only costs for performing the change, and shall
not include any costs that already have been reimbursed or that have been
separately claimed. All indirect costs included in the request shall
be properly allocable to the change in accordance with applicable acquisition
regulations.
(b) In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2410(a), any request
for equitable adjustment to contract terms that exceeds the simplified
acquisition threshold as defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulations
(FAR) shall bear, at the time of submission, the following certificate
executed by an individual authorized to certify the request on behalf of
the Seller:
I certify that the request is made in good faith, and that the supporting
data are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
______________________________ (Official's Name)

FAR Part 15;
(2) Information other than cost or pricing data including
actual cost data and data to support any estimated costs, even if cost
or pricing data are not required.
(d) The certification requirement in paragraph (b) of
this clause does not apply to-
(1) Requests for routine contract payments; for example,
requests for payment for accepted supplies and services, routine vouchers
under a cost-reimbursement type contract, or progress payment invoices;
or
(2) Final adjustments under an incentive provision of
the contract.
