PGI 204.804 Closeout of contract files.       (1) Data supporting contract closeout (e.g., DD Form 1594, Contract Completion Statement) are electronically transmitted throughout DoD. Defense Logistics Manual 4000.25, Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS), Volume 7, Contract Administration, Chapter 4, Contract Completion Status Reporting, available at https://www.dla.mil/Defense-Data-Standards/Publications/Vol-7-Administration/, contains detailed instructions regarding closeout and electronic data transmission.          (i) The administration office closeout date for file purposes will be the date in Block 9d of the DD Form 1594 or agency equivalent.          (ii) If the contracting office must do a major closeout action that will take longer than 3 months after the date shown in Block 9d of the DD Form 1594—          (A) The purchasing office closeout date for file purposes will be the date in Block 10e of the DD Form 1594 or agency equivalent; and          (B) The contracting office shall notify the contract administration office of the revised closeout date by either sending a copy of the completed DD Form 1594 or by electronically transmitting the data.          (iii) Completion of block 10 is not required, when the contracting office accepts the closeout date in block 9d of the DD Form 1594 (or agency equivalent) and the contract completion statement is posted to the Electronic Data Access (EDA) system as required by PGI 204.804-2.          (iv) Closeouts posted to EDA are considered part of the contract file and do not need to be duplicated in any other version of the contract file.          (v) A contract modification is not needed to deobligate excess funds when block 5 is completed, and this deobligation will occur upon distribution of the contract completion statement.
