Alternate means a substantive variation of a basic provision or clause prescribed for use in a defined circumstance. It (1) adds wording to, (2) deletes wording from, or (3) substitutes specified wording for a portion of the basic provision or clause. The alternate portion of the basic provision or clause is the basic provision or clause as changed by the addition, deletion, or substitution.

Contract clause or clause means a term or condition used in contracts or both solicitations and contracts which applies after contract award or both before and after award.

Modification, as used in this subpart, means a minor change in the details of a provision or clause that is specifically authorized by the JAR and does not alter the substance of the provision or clause.

Solicitation provisions or provision means a term or condition used only in solicitations and applying only before contract award.

Substantially as follows or substantially the same as, when used in the prescription or preface of a provision or clause, means that authorization is granted to prepare and utilize a variation of that provision or clause to accommodate equipment peculiar to an individual acquisition; provided that the variations include the salient features of the JAR provision or clause and are not inconsistent with the intent, principle, and substance of the JAR provision or clause or related coverage of the subject matter.

(b) The numbering system used for JAR clauses follows to the extent possible, the numbering system used in FAR part 52.
