Text

(c)(1) The chairperson of the conference conducts the meeting. Unless a contract change is contemplated, emphasize that it is not the purpose of the meeting to change the contract.

(2) The contracting officer may make commitments or give directions within the scope of the contracting officer's authority and must put in writing and sign any commitment or direction, whether or not it changes the contract.

(3) Any change to the contract that results from the postaward conference must be made only by a contract modification referencing the applicable terms of the contract. Participants without authority to bind the Government must not take action that in any way alters the contract.

(4) The chairperson develops a postaward conference report that reflects all the information and guidance provided to the contractor during the conference (see PGI 242.7603-3).
