K40   52.248-9G02   ALTERNATIVE VALUE ENGINEERING   DSCR (SEP 1996)
AND                 CHANGE PROPOSAL 
K48F30


    (a)  The Government has accepted a Value Engineering Change 
Proposal (VECP), as identified in the procurement item description, 
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.
