Would anybody happen to recall or know, how to determine which clauses in a MAS contract flow down to the order level?

Yes, I know. Read the contract.

I'm not being sarcastic. That's the only way to determine which clauses flow to the order level, especially if the contract provides for issuance of orders with different pricing schemes.

Sorry. There is no easy answer. FAR 52.216-18 has to be interpreted an applied in context.

I came across some agency guidance and it identified a clause in an IDIQ that did not "flow down" to the order level.  So @Vern Edwards you are probably right.  Will need to read through everything just to verify some things on this.

Of course Vern's guidance is spot on but actually ContractSpecialistTJohn you have peeked my further interest....

MAS contract

So my bad I guess for assuming you meant a GSA MAS contract which from my experience and actual confirmation before my post contain the 52.216-18 clause.  The term "Schedule" was my basis for going straight to the FAR clause.

Now you say

So what agency and what contract as I would be interested in seeing it for myself if available on a public facing website to read what clause they decided not to flow to the order level and how they stated the deviation to do so?  

Thanks

If you wish, you should use the messanger to provide any information to Carl.  It is at the top right and is the letter icon.

At the risk of being pedantic....it's amazing how many Contracting PMRs/IV&Vs I've conducted where the IDV Ordering clause is not book-ended by the Performance/Delivery Clauses (52.216-20/-21/-22), or where the last Performance/Delivery date is coincident with the expiration of the IDV.  I've also seen several where neither clause is included in the IDV.  It's almost as if people don't  understand their proper usage.
