What the Miscellaneous Mod. 145 Is

The Miscellaneous Mod. 145 is a contract amendment template used to record discrete changes to an existing agreement, such as scope revisions, pricing adjustments, or administrative updates. It functions as a modular modification document that attaches to a primary contract and identifies the specific clauses being changed, the effective date of the amendment, and the parties agreeing to the change. Properly completed, signed, and retained, the form creates a clear, auditable record that supplements the original agreement without replacing it.

Why Use a Formal Miscellaneous Mod. 145

A concise amendment reduces dispute risk by clearly identifying what changes and when they take effect, while preserving the remainder of the original contract.

Who Typically Prepares and Signs a Miscellaneous Mod. 145

The Miscellaneous Mod. 145 is commonly used by internal contract owners, legal teams, procurement, and external counterparties when a targeted change to terms is needed.

Procurement and Contract Managers — prepare the amendment, note impacts to deliverables and pricing.
Legal Counsel — review language for consistency with the master agreement and advise on risk.
Authorized Signatory at Counterparty — executes to bind the counterparty to the change.

Signatories should ensure they have delegated authority to amend the underlying agreement and that internal approvals are recorded before execution.

Core Elements to Include on Miscellaneous Mod. 145

A professional Mod. 145 should be concise but complete: identify the reference contract, describe exact modifications, and include execution details so the change is legally effective and administratively clear.

Identify the original contract by title, date, and parties so the amendment attaches unambiguously.

Change Description

State precisely which clause(s) are changed and provide replacement text or a clear cross-reference to new terms.

Effective Date

Specify the date the modification takes effect, separate from the signing date if needed.

Consideration

Note any payment, credit, or other consideration exchanged in connection with the amendment.

Signatory Block

Include printed name, title, signature, and date for each authorized signer.

Attachments

List exhibits or schedules added or replaced, and include version or revision numbers.

Keep Changes Narrow

Preserve Originals
