BILLING CODE 5001–06–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Defense Acquisition Regulations 

System 

Accelerated Payments to Small 

Business Subcontractors 

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition 

Regulations System, Department of 

Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: DoD has discontinued its 

temporary practice of providing 

accelerated payments to all contractors. 

DATES: Effective date: February 25, 2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Lee Renna, telephone 571–372–6095. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

DoD provided notice in the Federal 

Register at 77 FR 63298, on October 16, 

2012, that it had taken steps to 

accelerate payments to all DoD prime 

contractors, in order to implement the 

temporary policy established in OMB 

Memorandum M–12–16, Providing 

Prompt Payment to Small Business 

Subcontractors (July 11, 2012). 

DoD has now discontinued the 

temporary practice of accelerating 

payments to all prime contractors. This 

action does not affect DoD’s policy to 

assist small business prime contractors 

by paying them as quickly as possible 

after receipt of an invoice and all proper 

documentation, while also maintaining 

necessary DoD internal controls. The 

Department plans to continue phased 

implementation of the policy at Defense 

Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement 232.903 and 232.906.
