German term or phrase: die Gegenstände der Leistung
Normally I translate Leistung as service or performance, but in this contract the term is used differently. I understand it to be *what the contractor has to deliver* under the terms of the contract. Would the term deliverable apply here? What would Gegenstände of the deliverable be?

Ist vereinbart, dass sich der Auftraggeber von der vertragsgemäßen Ausführung der Leistung unterrichten
kann, so ist seinen Mitarbeitern/Beauftragten innerhalb der Geschäfts- oder Betriebsstunden
zu den Arbeitsplätzen, Werkstätten und Lagerräumen, in denen Gegenstände der Leistung oder
Teile von ihr entwickelt, hergestellt oder die hierfür bestimmten Stoffe gelagert werden, Zutritt
zu gewähren, damit sie sich über die Erfüllung der Anforderungen unterrichten können.

components of the deliverables
Explanation:
Yep, this is also how I understand Gegenstände der Leistung. I would translate this as components of deliverables ("components of the deliverables and parts thereof").

I don't have any particular source, my assessment is based on (German) native speaker instinct and understanding.

Just for the record: As the Gegenstände der Leistung are definitely physical items and will be supplied (deliverables), delivery item = Liefergegenstand (Schäfer Hyperbook) would also work.

subject-matter of the work performance


Explanation:
The contract is probably a "Werkvertrag" as opposed to a "Dienstvertrag". Under a Werkvertrag or contract for work and services work has to be performed or services have to provided in view of achieving a certain result.

deliverables


Explanation:
I think it is enough to say deliverables. It is a common expression used extensively in contracts. One could then move on to "delverables and parts thereof".
