                     CHAPTER 29--DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
Sec. 2932.703  Contract funding requirements.

    (a) Except in unusual circumstances, the contracting office may not 
issue solicitations until an approved procurement request (PR), 
containing a certification that funds are available, has been received. 
However, the contracting office may take all necessary actions up to the 
point of contract obligation before receipt of the PR certifying that 
funds are available when:
    (1) The Assistant Secretaries, Inspector General, Bureau Chief, 
Deputy Under Secretary, Solicitor of Labor, Commissioner, or Director of 
the Women's Bureau certifies that such action is necessary to meet 
critical program schedules for their program area;
    (2) The Budget Officer certifies that program authority has been 
issued and funds to cover the acquisition will be available before the 
date set for receipt of proposals;
    (3) The solicitation includes the clause at FAR 52.232-18, 
Availability of Funds.
    (b) The contracting office may not open bids/close solicitations 
until a PR, either planning or final, has been received that contains a 
certification of fund availability. Only the project or program official 
with the authority to commit funds from the agency that initiated the PR 
may make that written certification.
    (c) The project or program office that initiated the PR is 
responsible for obtaining required certifications.
