Summary of Information Collection

This information collection includes requirements related to contract financing and payment in DFARS part 232, Contract Financing, and the related clause at DFARS 252.232–7007, Limitation of Government’s Obligation. DFARS subpart 232.7, Contract Funding, limits the use of incrementally funded fixed-price contracts to situations where (1) the contract is for severable services, does not exceed one year in length, and is incrementally funded using funds available as of the date the funds are obligated; or (2) the
contract uses funds available from two or more fiscal years and is funded with research and development appropriations, or Congress has
otherwise authorized incremental funding. The clause at DFARS 252.232– 7007 identifies procedures for incrementally funding the contract and requires the contractor to provide the
Government with written notice when the work will reach the point at which the amount payable by the Government, including any termination costs, approximates 85 percent of the funds currently allotted to the contract.
