SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title, Associated Form, and OMB 

Number: Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 

Subpart 215.4, Contract Pricing; DD 

Form 1861, Contract Facilities Capital 

Cost of Money; OMB Control Number 

0704–0232. 

Needs and Uses: 

DoD contracting officers use DD Form 

1861 in computing profit objectives for 

negotiated contracts. A DD Form 1861 is 

normally completed for each proposal 

for a contract for supplies or services 

that is priced and negotiated on the 

basis of cost analysis. The form enables 

contracting officers to differentiate 

profit objectives for various types of 

contractor assets (land, buildings, 

equipment). DoD needs this information 

to develop appropriate profit objectives 

when negotiating Government contracts. 

DoD contracting officers need the 

information required by DFARS 

215.407–5, Estimating systems, and the 

related contract clause at 252.215–7002, 

Cost Estimating System Requirements, 

to determine if a contractor has an 

acceptable system for generating cost 

estimates, and to monitor the correction 

of any deficiencies. 

Affected Public: Businesses and other 

for-profit entities. 

Number of Respondents: 10,300. 

Responses Per Respondent: 

Approximately 5. 

Annual Responses: 53,458. 

Average Burden Per Response: 

Approximately 10 hours. 

Annual Response Burden Hours: 

538,480. 

Reporting Frequency: On occasion. 

Summary of Information Collection 

DFARS 215.404–71–4, Facilities 

capital employed, requires the use of DD 

Form 1861 as a means of linking Form 

CASB–CMF, Facilities Capital Cost of 

Money Factors Computation, and DD 

Form 1547, Record of Weighted 

Guidelines Application. The contracting 

officer uses DD Form 1861 to record and 

compute contract facilities capital cost 

of money and facilities capital 

employed, and carries the facilities 

capital employed amount to DD Form 

1547 to develop a profit objective. When 

the weighted guidelines method is used 

as one of the three structured 

approaches for developing a 

prenegotiation profit or fee objective in 

accordance with DFARS 215.404–4, 

completion of DD Form 1861 requires 

contractor information not included on 

Form CASB–CMF, i.e., distribution 

percentages of land, buildings, and 

equipment for the business unit 

performing the contract. 

DFARS 215.407–5, Estimating 

systems, and the clause at 252.215–

7002, Cost Estimating System 

Requirements, require that certain large 

business contractors—

• Establish an acceptable cost 

estimating system and disclose the 

estimating system to the administrative 

contracting officer (ACO) in writing; 

• Maintain the estimating system and 

disclose significant changes in the 

system to the ACO on a timely basis; 

and 

• Respond in writing to written 

reports from the Government that 

identify deficiencies in the estimating 

system.

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.
