Average Burden per Response: Approximately 0.1 hour. Annual Burden Hours: 41,677. Needs and Uses: DFARS 211.274–6 prescribes the use of the clause at DFARS 252.211–7007, which requires contractors to report data to the DoD Item Unique Identification (IUID) Registry on all serially-managed Government-furnished property (GFP), as well as contractor receipt of nonserially managed items, unless an exception applies. ‘‘Serially managed item’’ means an item designated by DoD to be uniquely tracked, controlled, or managed in maintenance, repair, and/or supply systems by means of its serial number. The clause provides a list of specific data elements contractors are to report to the IUID registry in the GFP module, as well as procedures for updating the registry. DoD needs this information to strengthen the accountability and end-to-end traceability of GFP within DoD. Through electronic notification of physical receipt, DoD is made aware that GFP has arrived at the contractor’s facility. The DoD logistics community uses the information as a data source of available DoD equipment. In addition, the DoD organization responsible for contract administration uses the data to test the adequacy of the contractor’s property management system. DoD Clearance Officer: Ms. Angela Duncan.

DFARS 252.232–7007 is prescribed for use in solicitations and resultant incrementally-funded fixed-price contracts. Paragraph (c) of the clause requires a written notification from the contractor that: (1) states the estimated date when the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 85 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of the applicable items; (2) states an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of applicable line items up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date; and (3) advises the contracting officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of the items funded pursuant to the clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in the allotment schedule or otherwise agreed to by the parties to the contract. • DFARS subpart 232.10, Performance-Based Payments, 252.232– 7012, Performance Based Payments— Whole Contract Basis, and 252.232– 7013, Performance Based Payments— Deliverable-Item Basis. Contracting officers use the information provided by contractors to create a cash-flow model for use in evaluating alternative financing arrangements. The analysis tool calculates improved financing opportunities that will provide benefit to both industry (prime contractor and subcontractor level) and the taxpayer. DFARS subpart 232.10 requires the contracting officer, when considering performance-based payments, to obtain from the contractor a proposed performance-based payments schedule which includes all performance-based payments events, completion criteria and event values along with the expected expenditure profile. DFARS 252.232–7012 requires contractors to report the negotiated value of all previously completed performance-based payments; negotiated value of current performance-based payment events; cumulative negotiated value of performance-based payment events completed to date; total costs incurred to date; cumulative amount of payments previously requested; and the payment amount requested for the current performance based payment.
