This clause allows for variations in quantity that are caused by factors such as loading, shipping, packing, or allowances within manufacturing processes.

- C.
Will be less because commercial warranties are discounted to the government.

This is because if an item is customarily warranted in trade practice, it means that the warranty is a common and expected feature of the item in the industry. Therefore, the cost of the item already includes the cost of the warranty, regardless of whether the government requires it or not.Rate this question:

This means that the CO will move on to the next firm that was ranked highly in the selection process and attempt to negotiate a contract with them instead. This course of action allows the CO to explore other potential options and continue the procurement process without wasting time.Rate this question:

- A.
Contingency.
- B.
National distress.
- C.
National emergency.
- D.

Correct Answer
A. Contingency.Explanation
The correct answer is "Contingency."

This term is used to describe a variety of unforeseen events that may require immediate response or action from the military. "National distress" refers to a state of extreme hardship or suffering within a country, while "national emergency" refers to a situation that poses a serious threat to a nation's security or well-being. "International plan of action" does not accurately describe the term defined in the AFFARS.Rate this question:

- A.
Host nation commander.
- B.
Receiving (unified) command.
- C.
Squadron commander at home station.
- D.
MAJCOM commander of the home station.
Correct Answer
B. Receiving (unified) command.Explanation
The correct answer is "Receiving (unified) command." When a CCO (Command and Control Officer) is deployed with a unit, the receiving (unified) command maintains functional control over them. This means that the command responsible for receiving the unit will also have control over the CCO and their operations. The host nation commander, squadron commander at home station, and MAJCOM commander of the home station may have their own roles and responsibilities, but they do not maintain functional control over the CCO deployed with the unit.Rate this question:

The appropriate certification level and training that contracting personnel should have prior to selection as a CCO is determined by the particular tasking. This means that the specific requirements and responsibilities of the contracting officer's role will determine the level of certification and training needed. It is not solely based on the individual's rank, squadron commander's discretion, or education level held.Rate this question:
