§ 163.122 Delays or failures of notic or demand.

It is expected that demand (§§ 163.106, 163.106-2, 163.107, an 163.118 (ii)) and notices (§ 163.118 (iv) will bear a date closely approximatin the date of transmittal; such demand and notices, and the supplemental agree ments mentioned in § 163.118 (iii), will b delivered in due course to the contrac tors. It could happen occasionally tha there is undue delay after the state date of a demand or notice, before it

ispatch, or that there is undue delay in le mails or other selected means of comunication after transmittal of a deand, notice, or supplemental agreelent or that a demand, notice, or suplemental agreement is not in fact reived by the contractor, and that the onreceipt is not the result of any act omission on the part of the conactor. In such cases, the due date of e debt and the starting time for accrual interest thereon will be extended to ich time as is fair and reasonable der the particular circumstances. For ample, if there is substantial delay beeen the date of a demand or notice, id the actual date of its dispatch or ansmittal, the actual date of dispatch transmittal would apply instead of e date stated on the demand or noce. Such delay should not be allowed happen. Also, for example, if there is usual delay in the mails or other sected form of communication, after disatch or transmittal of a demand, notice, supplemental agreement, the date of ceipt by the contractor would apply inead of the earlier date otherwise applible, and if the demand, notice, or supemental agreement, as the case may is not received by the contractor, the ate of transmittal of a second demand, ptice, or supplemental agreement would ply instead of the earlier date otherise applicable.

64.5 Instructions for preparing DD Form 1586, "Contract Funds Status Report"

99 1

a) Purpose of the Contract Funds tus Report (CFSR). (1) The Conct Funds Status Report DD Form 16 is designed as an integral part of Selected Acquisitions Information 1 Management System (SAIMS), to ply the funding data that, with other formance measurement inputs, will wide information about Defense concts to System/Project Program manrs for: (i) Updating and forecasting itract fund requirements, (ii) plang and decisionmaking on funding anges in contracts, and (iii) developfund requirements and budget estites in support of approved programs. compares current funding with estited fund requirements and describes relative firmness of requirements on ich estimates are based. Reasons for ange are also explained.

(2) In view of the lead time required adjust approved levels of funding en changes in estimated fund requirents are involved, reporting accurate ormation as early as possible as a tter of pronounced importance to the ntracting parties who must utilize the formation.

(3) These instructions include deiptions of data items which are the ntractor's required input to the Conct Funds Status Report. This report

Filed as part of original document. (DD m 1586 may be obtained by request rough the regular supply channels of the ilitary Departments.)

will be implemented on all new contracts to replace reports such as the DD 1097, DD 1097 Addendum NAVWEPS 7810/4, and the Contractor Financial Requirements Estimate (CFRE), and if suitable arrangements to incorporate this reporting requirement can be made, the current use of the aforementioned reports will be discontinued in existing contracts.

(b) General instructions.

(1) Reporting on Multiple Appropriations: Where two or more appropriation sources are used for funding a single contract or line item, contractors will segregate funds data by appropriation accounting reference when the contract specifies instructions for such reporting or segregation.

(2) Required Levels of Detail: If the total contract is funded with a single dollar amount and funding is not further broken out by contract line item, the contractor will report on one line in this report for the total contract. When a contract specifies certain line items with a value of $500,000 or more for Contract Funds Status Report reporting, the line entries in this report will be aligned with such breakdown. In such cases contractors will report for the total contract in addition to the required line items. The line items or categories of information selected for Contract Funds Status Report coverage may be defined according to the needs of the funding agency. Such definitions should be in no greater detail than that required to support the categories used in preparation of annual budget calls. Increased requirements for approved levels of funding may require data for specific items or elements more detailed and with greater frequency than that identified in the contract. The selected circumstances under which such increased detail and frequency might be required will be solely in support of funds management requirements and tasks and will be described in the contract or will be subject to agreement. Such requirements may be continued until the contractor acknowledges that the approved funding is adjusted to meet these increased requirements, e.g., if contract line item "a"2 has a potential overrun indicated, then fund requirements estimates may be necessary for subordinate components of item "a" such as Work Breakdown Structure Elements "b", "c", and "d" (which comprise Contract Line Item "a", but are not specified in the contract for Contract Funds Status Report reporting) until funds availability is adjusted to satisfy the increased fund requirement.

(3) Reduced Level of Detail: DoD Components will issue implementing instructions to

2 On DD Form 1586.

provide for requiring a reduced level of reporting within the framework of Contract Funds Status Report for: (a) those small contracts whose dollar value is between $100,000 and $500,000, (b) time and material contracts, and (c) similar effort where the entire Contract Funds Status Report might not be required (e.g., no line item reporting, fewer than total data items in the columns or heading). This reduced level of reporting may be extended to contracts larger than $500,000 if the DoD Component does not desire the full report.

(4) Reporting Financial Data:

(i) Data showing funding levels and estimated fund requirements will be entered in applicable columns in the same line as the contract line item which is specified in the contract. Under those exceptional conditions described above, which call for increased detail, data at the funded contract line item level must be supported by data for items representing one lower level of detail.

(ii) Data shown for the total contract, or for line items identified in the stub of the form, will represent the contractor's expected total fund requirement for the item in the period identified in Item 3, including General and Administrative and Fee/Profit, for the categories identified in the columnar headings of the form.

(5) Reporting Frequency and Report Timing: This report will be prepared at the end of each calendar quarter or most similar contractor accounting period nearest to the end of the calendar quarter. Reports will be submitted within 30 days of the agreed upon cutoff date. Under those exceptional circumstances described above, which call for increased frequency, such frequency will not exceed monthly reporting and will be specified in the contract or will be mutually agreed upon.

(6) Submission Information: This report will be submitted in the manner specified in the contract.

(7) Definitions: For this report, a commitment is an incurrence of a firm obligation by the contractor, and the contractor's legal liability with regard to subcontracts, purchase orders, work in process, etc., on the "as of date". Unless the contractor has received a Notice of Termination affecting the contract, commitment should be reported on the assumption that work on the contract will continue to completion. A report should include commitments pertaining to the terminated portion of a contract only to the extent these are included in an estimate of termination costs. Expenditures are defined as actual disbursements of funds by a contractor for "in-plant" or subcontract expenses pertaining to the contract, including fee. Expenditures which are also within the limitations of contract authorization and fund limitation clauses or modifications

should all be reported including pro payments to subcontractors.

(8) Security: Ordinarily the reports submitted under this § 164.5 will not re security classification. However, when information in the report is classified contractor will insure that the proper rity classification has been assigned th port in accordance with Industrial Sec Regulations. The latest executed copy Form 254 (Security Requirements q List) will indicate the proper security c fication. Company information of a pr etary nature will not be classified exce protect information which falls within Espionage Act. It will be protected by Department of Defense and will be ha in accordance with Title 5, paragraph 1 the United States Code.
