performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether or not changed by the
order, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the contract price,
the delivery schedule, or both, and shall modify the contract.
(c)
The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment under this clause within 30 days
from the date of receipt of the written order. However, if the Contracting Officer decides
that the facts justify it, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon a proposal
submitted before final payment of the contract.

change, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of the
disposition of the property.

Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the Disputes clause. However,
nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding with the contract as
changed.
