CON 1400V Day 4 Group Exercise - Managing Changes
1.Scenario 1: You are the contracting officer for contract W0054219P0052 for the delivery of five rail
carts. Two weeks after the contract was awarded, the requiring activity informed you that they need
to add two additional characteristics to the salient characteristics in Attachment 0001. [Note: You can
find a copy of this contract in the "Handouts & Infographs" section of the MS Teams Classroom.]
These additional characteristics will change the form, fit, and function of the rail carts. The requiring
activity is willing to change the delivery date to 30 days later than the current schedule as part of the
Government’s consideration for the contractor, Acme, accommodating this change. Is this proposed
change within the general scope of the current contract?
(3.5 Points)
-No, this proposed change does not pass either of the scope tests.
2. How could you execute the requiring activity’s request for a change?
(3.5 Points)
-Negotiate a supplemental agreement after first addressing competition via a J&A
3.If this change will be accomplished through a modification to the current contract, will the
modification be executed as a unilateral or a bilateral modification?
(3.5 Points)
-Bilateral Modification signed by both the contracting officer and contractor
4.What would be the authority for the modification?
(3.5 Points)
-52.212-4(c)
5.What SF 30, Block 13 would you check?
(3.5 Points)
-Block C
6.Scenario 2: You are the contracting officer for contract W0054219P0052 for the delivery of five rail
carts. [Note: You can find a copy of this contract in the "Handouts & Infographs" section of the MS
Teams Classroom.] One month after award, you receive notice from the requiring activity that the rail
cars need to be delivered to El Paso, TX instead of San Antonio, TX. There will be no change to the
required delivery date. Is this proposed change within the general scope of the current contract?
(3.5 Points)
-Yes, this change could reasonably pass a scope determination
