The contracting officer shall insert the clause at 1252.242–74, Contract Audit Support, in solicitation and contracts when other than firm-fixed-price contracts are contemplated.Subpart 1242.2—Contract Administration Services    1242.270 Contract clauses.

When the contracting officer proposes to delegate the contract payment function to another agency (*e.g.,* DCMA), the contracting officer shall discuss the transfer of funds procedures with the cognizant OA payment office.
