Jkt 253001
Annual Burden Hours: 1,523,053.
Reporting Frequency: On Occasion.
Needs and Uses: Section 3610 of the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic
Security (CARES) Act (Pub. L. 116–136),
enacted on March 27, 2020, authorizes,
but does not require, contracting officers
to modify contracts and other
agreements, without consideration, to
reimburse contractors for paid leave a
contractor provides to keep its
employees or subcontractors in a ready
state, including to protect the life and
safety of Government and contractor
personnel, during the public health
emergency declared for Coronavirus
Disease (COVID–19).
A contractor request for
reimbursement under section 3610 must
include sufficient documentation to
support the request and enable the
contracting officer to determine whether
a contractor is eligible for
reimbursement under section 3610 and,
if so, the amount of reimbursement to
provide to a contractor. Contractors’
requests for reimbursement under
section 3610 will vary in dollar amount
and complexity; as such, so will the
amount and type of information needed
from a contractor to support their
reimbursement request. Based on this
variation, contracting officers will use
one of three DoD reimbursement
checklists to advise contractors of the
information needed to support their
request. The information described in
the checklists is necessary to collect
from contractors in order to ensure that
contracting officers are able to
determine whether to approve the
request for reimbursement and
expediently modify the affected
contract(s) for the authorized
reimbursement amount.
Section 3610 also requires that any
reimbursements made under its
authority are reduced by the amount of
credit a contractor is allowed under
other provisions of the CARES Act and
division G of the Families First
Coronavirus Response (FFRCA) (Pub. L.
116–127). As the status of such credits
may not be known at the time of
reimbursement, DFARS clause 252.243–
7999, Section 3610 Reimbursement
(Deviation 2020–O0021), requires
contractors to notify the contracting
officer of any credits received after
receiving reimbursement under section
3610 and make any repayment, as
necessary, to comply with the
requirements of section 3610. This
information is necessary so that

Needs and Uses: DFARS part 217
prescribes policies and procedures for

Contracting officers use the required
information as follows:
DFARS 217.7004(a)—When
solicitations permit the exchange (or
trade-in) of personal property and
application of the exchange allowance
to the acquisition of similar property,
offerors must provide the prices for the
new items being acquired both with and
without any exchange. Contracting
officers use the information to make an
informed decision regarding the
reasonableness of the prices for both the
new and trade-in items.
DFARS 217.7404–3(b)—When
awarded an undefinitized contract
action, contractors are required to
submit a qualifying proposal in
accordance with the definitization
schedule provided in the contract.

to complete a meaningful analysis of a
contractor’s proposal in a timely
manner.
DFARS 217.7505(d)—When

officers use this information to evaluate
recent price increases for sole source
replenishment parts.
DFARS clause 252.217–7012—
Included in master agreements for repair
and alteration of vessels, paragraph (d)
of the clause requires contractors to
show evidence of insurance under the
agreement. Contracting officers use this
information to ensure contractor is
adequately insured when performing
work under the agreement. Paragraphs
(f) and (g) of the clause require
contractors to notify the contracting
officer of any property loss or damage
for which the Government is liable
under the agreement and submit a
request, with supporting
documentation, for reimbursement of
the cost of replacement or repair.
Contracting officers use this information
to stay informed of lost or damaged
property for which the Government is
liable, and to determine the appropriate
course of action for replacement or
repair of the property.
DFARS provision 252.217–7026—
Included in certain solicitations for
supplies that are being acquired under
other than full and open competition,
the provision requires the apparently
successful offeror to identify their
sources of supply so that competition
can be enhanced in future acquisitions.
DFARS clause 252.217–7028—When
performing under contracts for
overhaul, maintenance, and repair,
contractors must submit a work request
and proposal for ‘‘over and above’’ work
that is within the scope of the contract,
but not covered by the line item(s)
under the contract, and necessary in
order to satisfactorily complete the
contract. This requirement allows the
Government to review the need for
pending work before the contractor
begins performance.
