Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides clarification on a question submitted by a contractor regarding the application of FAR 52.216-19, Order Limitations, in relation to CLINs 0012 and 0013.

• Question: A contractor inquired if FAR 52.216-19 (Order Limitations), which establishes a minimum order quantity of 22 each, conflicts with the larger quantities in CLINs 0012 and 0013. They requested an allowance to include a unit price at the 22 ea quantity.
• Answer: The government clarified that FAR 52.216-19 applies to the minimum and maximum quantities for a single order, not the total estimated quantity of the entire contract.

This clarification confirms that the order limitations clause does not restrict the total contract quantity and that pricing should be based on the estimated quantities in Section B (CLINs 0012-0013), not solely on the minimum order quantity for a single order.
