SUBPART 32.7 – CONTRACT FUNDING

32.703-2 Contracts conditioned upon availability of funds.

(S-90) The standard DISA practice for awarding a contract action Subject to Availability of Funds

(SAF) is based upon receipt of a SAF funding document from the mission partner. In the event an

external mission partner cannot provide a SAF funding document, the Contracting Officer may
accept a “Notice of Subject to Availability of Funds” memorandum in accordance with template

provided at DARS PGI 32.

32.703-90 Solicitations issued without funding.

(a) A Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quotation (RFQ) may be released, for DISA internal

mission partners only, conditioned on the availability of funds, only when paragraphs (1) or (2) below

apply.

(1) When the resulting contract is to be funded by Procurement or Research, Development, Test, and

Evaluation Appropriations, and the program/requirement has been included in the President’s

budget as submitted to Congress. In these instances, the program manager shall provide the

contracting officer a written statement (coordinated with OCFO) that these funds will be used for

the proposed acquisition and although not presently available, a reasonable expectation exists that

funding will be authorized and available upon enactment of the Authorization and/or Appropriations

Acts.

(2) DISA Directorates shall submit a commitment letter within the requirements package in order to

in order release a solicitation prior to the funds being available. The commitment letter shall state

the following and be signed by the Program Management Representative and the Financial Account

Managers (FAM) at the Branch Chief level:

The goods and/or services are legitimate and represent a bona fide need for FY (insert fiscal year

SUBPART 32.9 –– PROMPT PAYMENT
32.901 Applicability.

(S-90) When an order is placed or a contract is awarded against an existing telecommunications

tariff, the terms of the tariff prevail regarding prompt payment. Normally, the tariff addresses the

late payment period and the calculation of the interest charge. Where the tariff is silent, the Prompt

Payment Act terms and conditions apply.

SUBPART 32.11 —ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER

32.1106 EFT mechanisms.

(S-90) Delivery Ticket Invoicing (DTI). The DTI contract payment method may be applied against

firm fixed price contracts or Communication Service Authorization (CSA) orders for

telecommunications services in which the receiving document, when combined with the

contract/order, contains sufficient information to determine a contractor's payment entitlement,

without requiring the contractor to submit an invoice. A Contracting Officer who determines to

implement the DTI contract payment method in a contract or order shall follow the DTI Standard

Operating Procedures located in the Corporate Library .
