This clause implements the requirements of the Helium Act (50 U.S.C. 167, et seq.) and 43 CFR 3195. The clause, in paragraph(b)(2), requires contractors to: Purchase major helium requirements, to be used in performance of a contract, from Federal helium suppliers to the extent supplies are available; and submit (within 10 days of such acquisition) the following information to the contracting officer: (1) The name of the supplier; (2) the amount of helium purchased; (3) the delivery date(s); and (4) the location where the helium was used.
