GAAP checkbox affects payment eligibility
When you respond to solicitations where a contract may include performance-based payments, DFARS provision 252.232-7015 requires you to check whether your financial statements comply with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). DoD will use that checked box to decide whether the offeror is eligible for performance-based payments, and the representation is required to obtain or retain benefits.
DoD continues contractor data collection
If you are a business that bids on certain DoD contracts, DoD will keep collecting a one-time representation from offerors about performance-based payments. The collection affects about 438 respondents, with an average burden of 0.1 hour per response (total annual burden 43.8 hours); comments are due by April 27, 2026 and current OMB approval runs through April 30, 2026.
