Detailed Performance‑Payment Reporting
DFARS subpart 232.10 and clauses 252.232-7012 and 252.232-7013 require contractors to provide proposed performance‑based payment schedules (events, completion criteria, event values, expenditure profile) and to report negotiated values of completed and current performance‑based payments, cumulative values, total costs incurred to date, cumulative payments previously requested, and the current payment amount requested.
Proposed 3‑Year Extension of Reporting
The Department of Defense is proposing to continue collecting contract‑financing information from businesses for three more years under OMB Control Number 0704-0359. About 1,000 companies respond roughly 14 times per year (14,000 responses total), each response averaging 1.2 hours, for 16,800 annual burden hours; DoD will accept comments through July 28, 2026.
85% Funding Notification Requirement
Under DFARS clause 252.232-7007, contractors on incrementally‑funded fixed‑price contracts must provide a written notification when the total amount payable will approximate 85% of the amount allotted. The notification must state the estimated date when 85% will be reached, any estimate of additional funding needed to continue performance, and the estimated amount of additional funds required for timely performance.

Starting May 7, 2026, the Department of Defense won’t make most new defense contractors share their greenhouse gas emissions unless it’s really needed for the contract.
