SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

The clause at GSAR 552.238-75, Price Reductions, used in multiple award schedule contracts ensures that the Government maintains its relationship with the contractor's customer or category of customers, upon which the contract is predicated. The reason for the burden decrease as it exists now is based on current data updating the number of MAS Schedule contractors.
