On a firm-fixed-price CLIN the unit price is a ceiling, so the amount above it is not payable without a contract modification.

Subject: Invoice MLL-2026-0101 — line 1 (CLIN 0002) requires correction before payment
To: Meridian Logistics LLC — Attention: Contracts Administration
We have completed review of invoice MLL-2026-0101, dated 2026-03-31, submitted under contract 70ZDEMO26C00001. One line on that invoice cannot be recommended for payment as submitted, and we are asking you to review it with us before we proceed.
The line bills 320 pallets under CLIN 0002 (Warehouse handling services) at $172.00 per pallet. The unit price established in the contract for that CLIN is $148.50. The billed price is $23.50 per pallet higher, which comes to $7,520.00 across the quantity billed on this line.
Because this is a firm-fixed-price line, the contract unit price is a ceiling. We are not able to certify the amount above that ceiling for payment unless the contract is modified to change the unit price. The remainder of the invoice is unaffected and continues through normal review.
Please either submit a corrected invoice for this line or provide documentation supporting the amount as billed. If you believe a contract modification applies, identify it by number so we can verify it against the contract file.
Requested action: Submit a corrected invoice for the affected line, or provide supporting documentation or the applicable modification number.
