(2)
The Government will inspect and determine the acceptability of the work performed or
services delivered within 7 days after the receipt of a proper invoice or notification of
completion of the work or services unless a different period is specified at the time the
order is placed. If actual acceptance occurs later, for the purpose of determining the
payment due date and calculation of interest, acceptance will be deemed to occur on
the last day of the 7-day inspection period. If the work or service is rejected for failure
to conform to the technical requirements of the contract, the 7 days will be counted
beginning with receipt of a new invoice or notification. In either case, the Contractor is
not entitled to any payment or interest unless actual acceptance by the Government
occurs.

Interest Rate," and it is published in the Federal Register semiannually on or about
January 1 and July 1. The interest penalty shall accrue daily on the payment amount
approved by the Government and be compounded in 30-day increments inclusive from
the first day after the due date through the payment date.

payable, will be resolved in accordance with the clause at 52.233-1, Disputes.
