award of this Subcontract, the Buyer may terminate the contract at no cost
to the Buyer.

information for input to the Cost/Schedule Status Report (C/SSR).

budget;
(iii) Handling changes to the contract budget base for both Buyer

questionable. In no case should the total allocated budget
exceed the contract budget base unless prior written approval
is provided by the Buyer;
(v) Establishing variance analyses thresholds, instructions and
capability to accurately identify and explain significant cost
and schedule variances both on a cumulative basis and projected

(d) Prior to Buyer's agreement that the Seller's instructions provide
reliable cost and schedule information and within (90) calendar days

Seller shall be prepared to familiarize the Buyer with the cost and
schedule information being generated in satisfaction of the C/SSR
contractual data requirements. As part of the familiarization process,
the Seller shall furnish the Buyer the summary written description of
the instructions that will provide for the generation of the C/SSR
data.
(e) Subsequent Seller changes to the instructions and summary written

instructions, and data requested by the Buyer for the purpose of
permitting surveillance to ensure continuing application of the
approved instructions in satisfying the C/SSR data item.

case where a subcontract is other than firm fixed-price, and is 12
months or more in duration, and either:
(i) Has a dollar amount which exceeds $2 million, unless specifically
waived by the Buyer, or
(ii) Has a critical task relative to this contract. Critical tasks
will be defined by mutual agreement between the SELLER AND THE
BUYER.
(h) Each such subcontractor's reported cost and schedule information will
be incorporated into the Seller's C/SSR.
(i) If the Seller uses on this contract a cost/schedule control
system which previously has been accepted by a DoD component as
meeting the requirements of the DoD Cost/Schedule Control Systems
Criteria (C/SCSC) on a contract of the same nature (e.g.,
development, production, etc.), this system may be used to
satisfy all aspects of the management instructions for the
