CC

Contract Clause

Definition

A Contract Clause is a specific provision within a contract that establishes requirements, terms, conditions, or procedures governing contract performance. CCs derive from FAR, agency supplements, and negotiated terms specific to individual contracts.

Understanding applicable contract clauses is essential for compliance and risk management. Clauses address topics including payment, intellectual property, changes, disputes, termination, and compliance requirements. Contractors should carefully review all incorporated clauses, including those incorporated by reference, to understand their full contractual obligations.
