    1.    If this is a negotiated subcontract in excess of $500,000 and is exempted from CAS coverage per 48 CFR 9903.201-1(b)(12) (FAR Appendix B) solely on the basis of the fact that the subcontract is to be awarded to a United Kingdom Contractor and is to be performed substantially in the United Kingdom, this clause is applicable in lieu of FAR 52.230-2 or FAR 52.230-3 and is incorporated below.
    2.    Seller shall communicate and otherwise deal directly with the Government Contracting Officer to the extent practicable and permissible as to all matters relating to Cost Accounting Standards.  Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of all communications between Seller and the Government Contracting Officer respecting this clause, provided Seller shall not be required to disclose to Buyer such communications containing information that is privileged and confidential to the Seller.

    (c)    Each proposal submitted in accordance with this requirement shall include a copy of the Seller's labor budget at the cost class level in effect as of the date the event began, the cost incurred at the cost level as of the same date, and the proposed effect of the change at the cost class level.
    (d)    It is recognized that an individual request for equitable adjustment may not include all of the factors listed in subparagraphs (b) (1) through (b) (8) above, or that the Seller may not reasonably be able to furnish complete information on all of the factors listed in subparagraphs (b) (1) through (b) (8) above.  Accordingly, the Seller is only required to set forth in its request for equitable adjustment information with respect to those factors which are relevant to the individual request for equitable adjustment, or in the level of detail which is reasonably available to the Seller.
    (e)    In addition to any information required under paragraph (b) above, each proposal submitted in support of a claim for equitable adjustment, under any requirement of this Purchase Order, in an amount which requires certified cost or pricing data, if requested by the Buyer, shall contain a duly executed Standard Form (SF) 1411 with respect to each individual claim item.  The information furnished shall be in sufficient detail to permit the Buyer to cross-reference the claimed increased costs, or delay in delivery, or both, as appropriate, as set forth in the SF 1411, with the information submitted pursuant to subparagraphs (b) (1) through (b) (8) hereof.
    (f)    The certification requirements as set forth in clause 94 of these terms and conditions entitled "CERTIFICATION OF REQUESTS FOR EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT" shall be complied with.
    (g)    In addition, refer to Clause 88, "Limitation on price Adjustments Under 10 U.S.C. 2405."

94.    CERTIFICATION OF REQUESTS FOR EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT
    (Based on DFARS 252.243-7002 (MAR 1998) (MODIFIED))
    (NOTE:  The aggregate amount of both the increased and decreased costs shall be used in determining when the dollar threshold requiring certification 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)

    ______________________________             (Title)
    (c)    The certification in paragraph (b) of this clause requires full disclosure of all relevant facts, including-
        (1)    Cost or pricing data if required in accordance with 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.
 

95.    NAVSEA 5252.233-9107, EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENTS:  WAIVER     AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS (JAN 1983) (MODIFIED)
    (a)    Whenever the Seller, after receipt of a change made pursuant to the clause of this Purchase Order entitled "CHANGES" or after affirmation of a constructive change, submits any claim for equitable adjustment under the foregoing, such claim shall include all types of adjustments in the total amounts to which the foregoing entitle the Seller, including but not limited to adjustments arising out of delays or disruptions or both caused by such change.
    (b)    Further, the Seller agrees (except as the parties may otherwise agree) that, if required by the Buyer, it will execute a release, in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer, as part of the Purchase Order Supplement setting forth the aforesaid equitable adjustment, and that such release shall discharge the Buyer, Government, their officers, agents and employees, from any further claims including, but not limited to, further claims arising out of delays or disruptions or both, caused by the aforesaid change.
