17. SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR TASK ORDERS

Agencies may incorporate provisions in their task order that are essential to their requirements (e.g., security clearances, hazardous substances, special handling, key personnel, etc.). These provisions, when required, will be included in individual task orders. Any cost necessary for the contractor to comply with the provision(s) will be included in the task order proposal, unless otherwise prohibited by law.

Contractors are strongly encouraged to price all items in the contract, to the maximum extent practicable.
