Accelerated Payments to Small

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the oneyear temporary policy established in the
OMB Memorandum, Providing Prompt
Payment to Small Business
Subcontractors (July 11, 2012), DoD has
taken steps to accelerate Federal
payments to prime contractors, so that
prime contractors can expedite
payments to their small business
subcontractors.
DATES: Effective through July 10, 2013,
unless otherwise rescinded or extended.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Mark Gomersall, telephone 571–372–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
Memorandum M–12–16, Providing
Prompt Payment to Small Business
Subcontractors (July 11, 2012)
establishes the Administration’s
initiative to accelerate Federal payments
to prime contractors, so that prime
contractors can, in turn, expedite
payments to their small business
subcontractors. Faster payments to
small business subcontractors can
improve their cash flow and provide the
capital resources needed to expand their
business opportunities. This can lead to
a stronger supplier base that supports
Federal prime contractors in meeting
the needs of their Federal customers in
a timely and cost-effective manner. The
Memorandum is available at https://
