The time of delivery or performance is an essential contract element and must be clearly stated in solicitations and contracts. The contracting officer may set forth a required delivery schedule or may allow an offeror to propose an alternate delivery schedule, for other than those for construction and architect-engineering, by inserting in solicitations and contracts a clause substantially the same as either FAR 52.211-8, Time of Delivery, or FAR 52.211-9, Desired and Required Time of Delivery. The information is needed to assure supplies or services are obtained in a timely manner.
The latest form for Delivery Schedules - FAR Sections Affected: 52.211-8 and 52.211-9 expires 2021-11-30 and can be found here.
