General Requirements Of Contract Amendments

(1) A contract amendment is a written contract document that modifies or supplements one or more terms or conditions of a contract and meets the following: (a) A contract amendment shall meet the requirements of these Rules and Central Procurement Office Policy and shall clearly detail the additions, deletions, and modifications to the subject contract. (b) A contract amendment should be determined by the Chief Procurement Officer to be either within the original scope of work and within the intent or a logical extension of the Base Contract. (c) If any change to the Base Contract results in a change to the scope of work, extends the contract term (of a contract that did not provide for a term extension), or increases the maximum liability of a contract, the Procuring Agency must memorialize these changes in a contract amendment and shall justify the contract amendment in writing. The amendment and justification is subject to the approval of the Chief Procurement Officer. (d) A contract amendment shall require the approval of the same officials required for approval of the Base Contract. If the amendment changes the scope or the terms of the Base Contract in such a manner as to require additional review as defined in these Rules or by applicable law, said amendment and all subsequent amendments of the contract shall require an additional approval.
