# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## A. Purpose

Standard Form (SF) 1034, Public Voucher for Purchases and Services Other than Personal, is used by the agencies for regular payments to vendors under cost-reimbursement contracts, and for terminations.

Cost type contracts provide for interim payment for costs vouchered on SF 1034. This is applicable to all cost-reimbursement type contracts, including cost-reimbursement portions of fixed price contracts, letter contracts which provide for reimbursement of costs, time and materials contracts and labor-hour contracts. Vouchers may be submitted at the beginning of each billing period for costs incurred during the preceding billing period. Vouchers should not be submitted more than once a month unless such arrangements are made with the Contracting Officer.

Termination clauses for cost-reimbursement contracts (see FAR 49.503(a)) provide for the settlement of costs and fee, if any, in cases of termination by convenience. The contract clauses governing costs shall determine what costs are allowable. When the contract has been completely terminated, the contractor shall not use SF 1034 after the last day of the sixth month following the month in which the termination is effective. The contractor may elect to stop using vouchers at any time during the 6-month period. When the contractor has vouchered out all costs within the 6-month period, a proposal for fee, if any, may be submitted on the SF 1437, Settlement Proposal for Cost-Reimbursement Type Contracts, (see FAR 49.602-1) or by letter appropriately certified. The contractor must submit a substantiated proposal for fee to the Termination Contracting Officer (TCO) within 1 year from the effective date of termination, unless the period is extended by the TCO. When the use of vouchers is discontinued, the contractor shall submit all unvouchered costs and the proposed fee, if any, as specified in FAR 49.303. When the contract is partially terminated, FAR 49.304 shall apply.

In consultation with subject matter experts at the Department of Defense, the number of responses per year was verified as being within an acceptable range, as was the average time required to read and prepare information which was estimated at 1 hour per response.
