§217.7403. Policy.

48 C.F.R. § 217.7403

DoD policy is that undefinitized contract actions shall—

(a)

Be used only when—

(1)

The negotiation of a definitive contract action is not possible in sufficient time to meet the Government's requirements; and

(2)

The Government's interest demands that the contractor be given a binding commitment so that contract performance can begin immediately.

(b)

Be as complete and definite as practicable under the particular circumstances.
