CONTRACTUAL ISSUES. Contractual issues, of any nature, that might arise during the life of the contract must be handled in conformance with specific public laws and regulations (i.e. Federal Acquisition Regulation and Agency for International Development Acquisition Regulation). The contractor must bring all contracting issues to the immediate attention of the Contracting Officer. Only the contracting officer is authorized to formally resolve such issues. The contracting officer will be responsible for resolving legal issues, determining contract scope and interpreting contract terms and conditions. The contracting officer is the sole authority authorized to approve changes in any of the requirements under this contract. Notwithstanding any clause contained elsewhere in this contract, the said authority remains solely with the contracting officer. These changes include, but will not be limited to the following areas: scope of work, price, quantity, technical specifications, delivery schedules, and contract terms and conditions. In the event the contractor effects any changes at the direction of any other person other than the contracting officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority.
