An Advice of Change in Order is required for corrections or deviations on all contracts. During the period of contract, no change will be permitted in any of its conditions and specifications unless the contractor receives written approval from the University. The Advice of Change is not to be used to initiate major changes which are outside the original scope of the contract or to affect a new buy which normally would be placed by competitive bid. An Advice of Change in Contract shall not be used to extend or amend a Personal Services Contract.

Should the contractor find at any time that existing conditions make modification in requirements necessary, the contractor shall promptly report such matter to the Department of Procurement Services for consideration and decision.
