GSU-06 UNAUTHORIZED COMMITMENTS SEP 2023
(a) Definitions.
Contracting Officer means a person with the authority to enter into, administer, and/or terminate contracts
and make related determination and findings.
Ratification means the act of approving an unauthorized commitment by an official who has the authority
to do so.
Unauthorized Commitment (UAC) means an agreement that is not binding solely because the Government
representative who made it lacked the authority to enter into that agreement on behalf of the Government.
(b) Policy.
The Government is not bound by agreements with, or contractual commitments made to, prospective
contractors by individuals who do not have delegated contracting authority. Unauthorized commitments do
not follow the appropriate process for the expenditure of Government funds. Consequently, the
Government may not be able to ratify certain actions, putting a contractor at risk for taking direction from a
Federal official other than the contracting officer (see FAR 1.602-1) Government employees responsible
for unauthorized commitments are subject to disciplinary action. Contractors perform at their own risk
when accepting direction from unauthorized officials. Failure to follow statutory and regulatory processes
for the expenditure of Government funds is a very serious matter.
(c) Procedures.
Any agreement, modification, or change to a contractual agreement made by a government personnel who
lack authority will be deemed an unauthorized commitment. The Government is not liable to the
Contractor or under the terms of the contract, financially or otherwise – unless the unauthorized
commitment successfully passes the ratification process.
The ratification process does not have any lead time, nor does the Government make any promise that an
unauthorized commitment will be ratified and, therefore, the Contractor would be paid. The Contractor
proceeds at its own risk if any of the terms of the contract are altered, changed, or modified without the
written concurrence by a Contracting Officer.
(End of Clause)
