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.
