Federal Acquisition Regulation; Allowable Cost and Payment Clause

Résumé

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed on a final rule to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to clarify that reimbursement of subcontract costs under cost-type contracts generally will not be made to a large business contractor until the contractor has made payment to the subcontractor. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993, and is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
