SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD policies on contract financing are
described in Part 32 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and
Part 232 of the Defense FAR Supplement. These policies cover a variety
of contract finance issues, including non-commercial item purchase
financing; commercial item purchase financing; loan guarantees for
defense production; advance payments for noncommercial items; progress
payments based on costs; contract debts; contract funding; assignment
of claims; prompt payment; performance-based payments; electronic funds
transfer; electronic submission and processing of payment requests; and
levies on contract payments.
DoD is interested in receiving public input on these contract
financing policies, particularly with regard to those that are
considered to be especially effective or ineffective, along with
supporting rationale.
