Common use of Work Directives Clause in Contracts

Work Directives.

Upon receipt of the Work Directive Request form, and within the suspense time indicated, the contractor shall submit a Work Directive Execution Plan to the Procuring KO. The Work Directive Execution Plan (format provided in attached) will include a description of the contractor’s understanding of the task requirements, the planned approach for accomplishing the task, a description of constraints which may exist, and an assessment of the risk in meeting the schedule as identified in the Work Directive Request and agreement or revision on the number of technical support hours and cost allocated to the effort. Upon approval by the Government, the Procuring KO will issue a Delivery Order (DO) with the Work Directive Execution Plan as an attachment to the contract. Any subsequent impacts from the work directive results that impact existing delivery schedule or product performance that have cost impacts will be processed as contract changes.
